The DP dot com Football Pool (Wk 8)

ouch

The Cowboys are really effing with my prediction of a 12-4 season record and SuperBowl berth. You still won’t see me throw them under the bus like LM did with his beloved Redskins, but that’s just the kind of fan that I am.

The football pool is moving right along and I am getting ready to add some features that will allow the folks in the rear of the pack a chance to make up some ground. Nothing could be better than a photo finish during the last week of the season. This week’s lineup is the most difficult to pick so far that I’ve chosen. Even CANDICE will have a tough time going seven for seven with these games. Let’s take a look at lineup…

ARIZONA CARDINALS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS
MATT LEINART, The Future vs. BRETT FAVRE, The Past. The Cardinals win in Wisconsin will finally close the book on FAVRE’s career.

ATLANTA FALCONS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS
I’m hoping for another lights out scoring game from these two teams and the difference should go to Atlanta’s running game over Cincy’s revamped defense.

BALTIMORE RAY-VENS @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
These are not your parent’s paperbag hat Saints, and these are not the RAY-vens from week 1. The Saints are invincible in the swamp.

HOUSTON TEXANS @ TENNESSEE TITANS

VINCE YOUNG is going to make his hometown Houston sorry they didn’t select him in the draft. But just not this weekend.


JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

After some questionable losses by both of these teams I don’t look for any postseason thunder coming from either of these clubs. In the battle of the burly Black quarterbacks I am giving the advantage to the guy with the sicker name, BYRON LEFTWICH.

NEW YORK JETS @ CLEVELAND BROWNS
Former Patriots assistants whose teams are moving in different directions. ROMEO CRENNEL, like DENNIS GREEN and ART SHELL, with be another jig coach down at the unemployment office come January.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ DENVER BRONCOS
I love how ALEX2.0 calls PEYTON MANNING by his Hip-Hop name ‘DJ LONGNECK’. I have hated on MANNING from the gate, but I hate JAKE PLUMMER and MIKE SHANAHAN almost as much. This annoys me that I am picking the Colts, but then I remind myself that TONY DUNGY gave his son to GOD in exchange for a Super Bowl ring.

Okay poolers, press play…

  2. LM says:

    Leinart’s already better than fellow southpaw Scott Mitchell ever was. But that’s not saying much. PACKERS

    Michael Vick is on pace to run for 1,176 yards this year. But the Falcons D is slippin’. BENGALS

    The Saints will be sleeping on Sunday. RAY-VENS

    I swear I’m not just picking against Dallas (Penn). TITANS

    I love D.C.’s own Byron Leftwich, who is slow afoot among black quarterbacks, and his fast white receiver Matt Jones and Matt’s brother Maurice Jones-Drew, and Fred Taylor too. But most of those guys are hurt. EAGLES

    The Browns are awful. But the Jets are their most beatable opponent until December. BROWNS

    DJ Longneck owns the Broncos. COLTS

    Arizona
    I’m nervous but with a week off I have to pick the Ravens, I ain’t jumping ship.
    Titans (The Texans got theirs last week)
    Jaguars (they’re mad)
    Jets (I have hope for the Browns in the next 2 seasons)
    Broncos (they’ve done it to Peyton before)

    Philly(After 2 straight heartbreakers they due @ home)

  9. esbee says:

    Titans win over Houston

    Lion-hart dominates the old gunslinger in an air-it-out fest..

    Ray-vens will surprise the Saints..

    85 vs. 21 – LOL @ 85’s press conference on msn.com, classic

    I hate to say it too but Woman-ning will defeat Jake the shake-snake

  10. Candice says:

    Hmmm…

    I’ll take GREEN BAY at home in the cold weather.

    The BENGALS came through for me last week.

    Can the Saints go 7 and 0? Nope. RAVENS

    Not that anyone cares…TITANS

    EAGLES…they can’t lose three in a row, especially at home (and I’ll be at the game so they better win. It’s too cold to watch losers)

    J-E-T-S, represent NY!!!!

    I think DENVER will hand Mr. Manning his first loss of the season.

  11. Alex2.0 says:

  14. S Dot says:

    Hmmm….

    Matt Leinart’s smug ass vs. Brett Favre’s invicible, destructive ego…Packers

    I’m going with the Bengals because this week I realized Chad Johnson’s golden mohawk reminds me of Wesley Snipes in “Demolition Man.”

    Reggie Bush on turf is that ether, the shit that makes your soul burn slow. Saints all day.

    Texans vs. Titans is like asking to pick between “My Humps” vs. “London Bridge.” Aarrghh… Texans

    McNabb’s gonna be spitting hot vomit on the Jags overrated defense. EAGLES, BITCH!

    Do I pick Eric Mangina to outcoach a fat guy named Romeo? You bet I will. J-E-T-S

    I’m going with Peyton and the Colts because I like QB’s that are 6’5”, 240 lbs with a lazer, rocket arm. Jake Plummer is getting the gas face after this one.
