The good news is that we will know in a few days if SNICKERS is willing to sponsor the pool. I really hope they do because the prototype sneakers that I designed at the NIKE studio called the Air Max 1 ‘SNICKERS’ look fiiiiyah! I used the colors from the candy bar wrapper in a premium leather. I’m almost tempted to buy them for myself. So we’ll see what happens…
Figures the week that The Ray-vens aren’t pooling with us they decide to take the fall. There’ll be a few more where that came from AMADEO so don’t start sizing up your Super Bowl ring just yet. The first quarter of the season is in the rear view mirror and what I’ve learned is that the NFL is still the most unpredictable, frustrating, energetic way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We should get together at the sports bar in Park Slope one Sunday and talk shit. That might be tough for some of you that don’t live in NYC, but for those of you that do I am looking at November 5th. Holler bizzle.
This week’s lineup look fairly simple which means that we should all come out of this one seven for seven. Week 6 is for me to provide a pyschoanalysis on why I choose my picks. Let’s see what the lineup looks like…
NY GIANTS @ ATLANTA FALCONS
The Giants are feeling realy good about themselves which means its time for them to sputter again. MICHAEL VICK does to the Giants what MICHAEL JORDAN used to do to the Knicks. School is in session, Giants get a hungerectomy.
MIAMI DOLPHINS @ NY JETS
After getting bitch slapped by Jacksonville, the Jets need a little ‘get right’ medicine. The ‘Fins are like Viagara made out of chewable Flintstones vitamins for AFC East teams. Hell, for the league.
HOUSTON TEXANS @ DALLAS COWBOYS
The Cowboys need this win to stay in the mix for the NFC East crown. The Texans are already counting the days until which they can go back on vacation.
TENNESSEE TITANS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS
After that loss last weekend the ‘Skins need to rebound in a major way. Unfortunately, they don’t.
CAROLINA PANTHERS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS
I’d love to say that the Ray-vens take another on the chin this weekend , but I think they will manage to win this one late in the game. Carolina has yet to beat someone substancialiscious.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
All you Philly fans are prah’lee still drunk from last weekend. So is your team. A perfect oppurtunity for the Saints to eke out another home win in the swamp.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Kansas City has been surprisingly decent, props to TONY’s KANSAS CITY. BEN ROTHELISBERGER and the Steelers have sucked ass mightily. I’d like to think that HERM EDWARDS could will his boys to a win in this one, but that’d just be crazy. I’m not crazy.
Cross your fingers in the hopes that we get SNICKERS to underwrite our NFL football pool, but in any case the winner will still get a DP dot com prize pack of goodies and a new pair of kicks.
Giants ( and this is a tough pick for me)
Jets
Cowboys
Redskins
Ravens
Eagles
Steelers
That Vick-Jordan analogy is spot on. FALCONS.
Jets fans will be upset if the putrid Miami squad wins in their house. Jets fans will be upset. DOLPHINS
The Texans will one one of these given Sundays. Not this one. COWBOYS
Vince Young better not do to the Washington D what Jordan did to LaBradford Smith. REDSKINS
In Baltimore, it’s two talented teams with underachieving but likable quarterbacks… this one comes down to coaching, Fox vs. Billick. PANTHERS
Philly’s ready to swamp New Orleans, if you know what I mean. EAGLES
Mediocre team with more recent winning history at home over mediocre visitors. STEELERS
I ate 36 of those little Halloween-size Snickers in the last week. No more buying on sale.

“Mr. Dallas….Jennifer Beals future baby daddy is cheating!!!!!!”

you only put up 6 picks. stop cheating and put up all seven.
Candice, as the pool leader ou can drop your picks anytime between now and Sunday noon. As long as the first game hasn’t kicked off already.
Just stopped through from nahright.com. Great blog you got going on here man..
I pretty much agree on your football picks for the week.
okay, here’s another benny of reading this site that I bet a few of you didn’t even know. I made a few bets according the weekly list. I made enough money to order a Ghetto Big Mac. AND a soda on the side. No brokeback. I owe you Dallas. Big time.

My bad on my omission of the football match of the Eagles of Philadelphia versus the Saints of New Orleans. I heard the Saints triumphed in the end by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a giant upright H. It was most exhilarating….
