Did you hear that? Yes, it's the football angels rejoicing because ND remains undefeated. I wasn't thinking on some of my picks (MD and Miss State. I will take full credit for any other misses as I read about those 2 games) and for once read someone else's picks before making my own. Shame on me. Never listen to someone who is paid to pick games. I'll stick to the au natural method.
My two year old looked in his halloween pumpkin and sighed, "but there isn't much left." I didn't tell him it was because he has been eating candy non stop. Oh, and I should confess. I'm the mother who encourages the kids to eat all of the candy as quickly as possible because I don't want to hear about it. Eat it and move on. Or back to "apple cores and twigs" as my daughter says. I told my 2 year old you have to pace yourself if you want it to last longer. Apparently, he took that suggestion to heart because he proceeded to take candy out of his brother's and sister's baskets and put it in his own. He then clapped and said "Good job!" Resourceful isn't he?
There are many teams in the NFL short on resourcefulness, so let me see who is playing according to the oft maligned peeps at nfl.com.
Denver at Bunglemania- Everyone is on the Bronco bandwagon and it's great to see Peyton Manning play well. I bet Peyton would love to have a receiver like AJ Green, you know? Still not buying the Broncos and the Bunbles are sketchy as usual. This one is difficult. Mmmmm. I guess I will take the Bengals in a close one in what I'm guessing is an upset. Why? Why not?
Baltimore at Cleveland-Isn't just about everyone on the Raven's D except for Ed Reed ? They looked awful against the Texans and the Brownies just secured win number 2. Your mama is a llama! Why do I think the Browns will win? I just feel the Ravens have been decimated by injuries so I'm taking the Browns and their AARP QB. Yes, we can all laugh together when the Browns lose by 40.
Arizona at GB-Oh the Cardinals. Larry Fitzgerald is fabulous but too bad no one can throw the ball to him. I say the Packers do their discount double check dance.
Detroit at Jacksonville-Did you hear that Jacksonville's offense, aka Maurice Jones Drew, got hurt? Detroit only scores in the 4th quarter and I just adore Matthew Stafford. Dude needs a little help like maybe a running game. Do they even have a running back in Detroit? This is exactly the kind of game where the Lions lay an egg. But, I say Lions get the win with a late score.
Carolina at Washington-Is it time for Cam to turn that frown upside down? Perhaps not yet and I heard that the Panther's coach, Ron Rivera is in the Norv Turner "week to week" club. Sounds like he is hooked up to life support. I like RG3 and I think the Redskins win a super duper close one.
Pitt at the Giants-Bigfoot or Elmer? I can't bet against a guy who wears sweater vests in his post game interview. Eli and Cruz do a salsa dance.
TB at Oakland-Isn't there such parity in the NFL? There are some really bad teams. This week people are trying to convince us that TB is "hot". Freeman has been playing well and Ronde Barber is great. Hot might be a stretch. Let's try tepid. Kind of like when you put the Ben & Jerry's in the microwave for a few seconds so you can eat it out of the container with greater ease. I'll give the Bucs that level of heat. Raiders are, well the Raiders. But they do have devout fans and you never know which Carson Palmer shows up to play. Rayduhs
Chicago at TN-What's up with that new commercial with Jay Cutler? And I don't get the Urlacher thing either and perhaps it's because the man date Paris Hilton. I bet they were splitting atoms. Titans have looked decent with Hassleback at QB, but I think the Bears win an ugly game.
Philadelphia at NO- Two shoulda, coulda, woulda teams. Mike Vick may be on the hot seat but it beats being in the big house. His o-line parts like the Red Sea when he drops back which makes me wonder if he told them to use one of his financial advisor's named Ron Mexico. I kid! That's in the past and I like watching Michael Vick play, but it's been a challenge seeing him in the upright position. Drew Brees has the highest "like" factor of any professional athlete and I commend the man for saying au revoir to the Chargers. I just don't know on this one. They both have so much talent but have looked horrible. Eagles?
****Winner-Winner Chicken Dinner Game of the Week*****
Dallas at Atlanta- Oh the Cowboys. Did you hear they are opening a Victoria's Secret at Jerry World? But this is at the Arthur Blank Dome so no wings or sequins will be present unless any of the, ahem, "Real Housewives of Atlanta" are at the game. Listen, Tony Romo seems like a nice guy and I've heard he's a great tipper. Love Demarcus Ware and yes, I can admit I'm older than Dez Bryant's mother. But magic seems to happen at the GA Dome. Falcons get a "W" in the last few seconds of the game.
For the record, the best thing about the USC-Oregon game is that it's a) sponsored by Reese's peanut butter cups and b)it gives me an opportunity to work on my various duck references for future games. I have to waddle through all of these ideas. Next up? An election blog on Monday..Be there or be square.
