Pro Picks

First, I need to apologize to Brian Griese and Lee Corso by saying they were drunk or off their meds because they picked A&M over the Tide. Sorry peeps! You were right. This means the potential for a K-State vs Oregon or ND vs. Oregon national championship game. That sounds absolutely....terrible. I still think USC may knock off ND, but K-State should definitely win out the rest of the season.

My 7 yr old daughter announced she is going to China this summer to become a star. Awesome. I guess I need to teach her to do laundry and  perhaps she can take care of her mother. I can be momzilla and channel my inner Dina Lohan. And on another note, my 9 yr old son wanted to know if we were going to the White House to vote. I told him that the experience wouldn't be quite that glitzy and a trip to the middle school would have to suffice.

I love this commercial on ESPN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLp3F_xnen4

It's Week 9 so let's see how many incorrect picks I have this week.......

Oakland at Baltimore-Yes, I know. I picked the Browns in an upset last week. Remember, I had food poisoning so I'm going to claim temporary insanity. Baltimore may be banged up, but they are playing the Raiders. Ravens get the W.

Denver at Carolina-Allegedly, Ron Rivera of the Panthers has weekly meetings to determine if he gets to keep his job. I guess after last week's win over the Redskins, he was greeted with, " Good news! You stay employed for another week." I know Peyton is playing well, but I'm not sold on the Broncos and I'm certainly not sold on Cam and the Panthers. However, Steve Smith holds a special place in  my heart because I remember when he punched one of his teammates in the face, then Coach John Fox (ironically now with Denver-yes, I think that was the appropriate usage of irony) said it brought the team together, Exactly. Punching someone in the face builds unity. Bey Bey and the Broncos get a win.

Giants at the Bengals-Giants took one on the chin courtesy of Big Fug Ben and company. A,J Green is a start WR. Too bad he plays for the Bengals. Giants have issues, but it's tough to count them out. G-men.

Detroit at Minnesota-So, supposedly Christian Ponder is getting slack because they are saying he is distracted by his girlfriend Samantha Steele. Nonsense. He's just not that good of a QB, but when you have AP, it keeps you in the game. Megatron is banged up so Matt Stafford  has to spread the love. Vikings in a squeaker.

Buffalo at NE-Did you hear? The world is supposed to get a bit more beautiful in December when Gis give birth.    Patriots look a bit off to me this year, but Buffalo is not very good. However, props to Mario Williams for securing a phat check to do absolutely nada this season for the Bills. And geez, those interviews with Rob Gronkowski are painful...for everyone involved. But he's a great TE. Patriots get the W.

NYJ at Seattle-Love between Mark Sanchez and Eva Longoria didn't last but the two remain "extremely close and amicable" (i.e-booty calls continue). Jets are bad. I'm not sure why they took Tim Tebow. But I can tell you that all promotional materials in NYC under activities to do, actually say "Watch Tim Tebow and the Jets." Uh huh. This game is in Seattle in the land of Starbucks and Seattle's best. I bet Pete Caroll is one of those annoying people who orders a grande non fat, no whip black & white, half pump sugar free cappuccino. Pretentious. Seattle gets a victory.

Dallas at Philly- I said about 3 weeks ago that I would be floored if the Eagles won 3 more games the rest of the season. They haven't won yet. This is the most difficult game to pick because these teams are the exact same. They never live up to the hype. I can't help but think Michael Vick made the o-line mad because they part like the Red Sea after the snap. Mmmmm. Oh Romo, Romo, wherefore art thou Romo. Cowboys

St Louis at San Francisco-Sam Bradford, meet the 49er defense. 49ers...big

KC at Pitt-Please! What did we do as a society to deserve this as the Monday night game? Is there a knitting convention being shown at the same time because that would be as exciting. Someone stage an intervention and stop the networks from showing the Chiefs. It's better for everyone involved. Steelers

***Game of the Week****-Houston at Chicago. Everyone is giddy about this game. Cutler is keeping the picks to a minimum and seems to be working and playing well with others right now. J.J Watt is fabulous but Texans seem more suspect on the road. Da Bears.

Falcons at the Saints-Is Sean Payton going to Dallas? Why would he want to do that? So Jerry Jones, can put a tracking device on his ankle and tell him exactly what to do. The Saints D is just horrible but this should be a shoot out. I'll take Arthur Blank in a close one.

Remember "Joanie Loves Chachi"? Yes, well we know that Scott Baio went on to continued fame with that classic "Charles In Charge." Allegedly, at one time he was an item with Joanie but then he moved on to people like Pamela Anderson and Heather Locklear. Looks like Joanie is scrappy and got into a drunken altercation with her 72 year old MIL. Did she put some vodka in her Ensure?
