6-3 vs the spread last week, 56-62-3 for the season. . .
Cleveland +9 at Baltimore: The Browns season turned ugly real fast when rookie coach Mike Pettine dumped starting QB Brian Hoyer for the midget. QB Karma hit Pettine hard, and now he's searching the scrap heap for a QB for the last game of the year. . .apparently they found Tyler Thigpen buried under an old washing machine. . .or maybe they'll start Connor Shaw. . .nobody knows, nobody really cares. . .except the Ravens, who somehow lost to a scrap heap QB last week, and now face the possibility of a second straight season backing out of the playoffs. What's with the Ravens? Another team with Harbaugh burnout? Even so, they should be able to beat down a beat down Cleveland team with a QB sinkhole. Baltimore.
San Diego +3 at Kansas City: If the Chargers win, they're in the playoffs, and the Ravens are fucked, no matter what they do against the Brownies. The Chiefs need about a million football mutations to make the playoffs, and that ain't gonna happen, and they've been playing like shit, anyway, losing four of their last five, tossing away what looked like an EZ postseason spot. The Chargers had a gutty comeback win last week over SF, and I'm a little surprised by the line. . .I figure this should be a pick 'em game. San Diego.
Chicago +6 at Minnesota: Ha ha ha. . .faggot Marc Trestman tried to blame it all on Jane Cutler, tossed him under the bus last week, and now because of an injury to Jimmy Clausen, has to play Cutler in what will probably be his last game as Bears head coach. Ha ha ha, no scraping that dog shit off your shoe, you dumb faggot. I don't know whether I hope Cutler passes for 400 yards and four tds, and the Bears win a what-could-have-been teaser, or whether I hope Trestman has to suffer through another ugly Cutler turnover fest. Either way, it will be a bitter end for the faggot Trestman. Minnesota.
Philadelphia +3 at New York Giants: Who would have imagined Thanksgiving night, after the Eagles crushed the Cowboys in Dallas to take the NFC North lead with a 9-3 record, they'd be out of the playoffs and underdogs to the crappy Giants in the season-ender? But the Eagles have had an even worse end to the season than the Browns, and have to rate as the biggest December flop in the League. Mark Sanchez turns the ball over, and Chip Kelly don't look like such a genius, anymore. Meanwhile, once again ancient coach Tom Coughlin seems to have saved the Giants from a completely terrible season, and guided the G Men back to semi-respectability, chiefly due to the red hot Eli Manning - Odell Beckham combination. Genuine hope for next year, or just another late season Coughlin mirage? New York.
Carolina +3.5 at Atlanta: Well, somebody has to win the Goodwill division, and here's the decider. Atlanta has actually played better than their record most of the year, and with a little better End Game skill, would be a 9 -7 or 10 - 6 team. Carolina has nothing on offense to scare the Falcons, and the only way the Panthers win this game is if their defense forces 3 or 4 turnovers. Ain't gonna happen. Atlanta.
Detroit +8 at Green Bay: Winner is the NFC North champ, gets the NFC #2 seed and a playoff bye. Fourteen year veteran Lion center Dominic Raiola pulled a Donkey Kong Suh and stomped an opponent last week, and drew a one game suspension from the League, and now must miss the biggest game of his sorry Lions career. . .we call that 'typical Lions' and as a result can expect numerous botched exchanges and shotgun snaps from rookie center Travis Swanson, forcing Matthew Stafford into a game-long hole of second and third-and-longs. The Lions haven't won at Lambeau since 1991, which is also the last year they managed to win a playoff game. There's not a single reason to pick the Lions. . .unless their defense comes out nasty from the opening kick off. Donkey Kong and Ziggy Ansah need to rattle a gimpy Aaron Rodgers for the Lions to have any chance. Don't bet on it happening. Green Bay.
Cincinnati +3.5 at Pittsburgh: For their week 14 match-up, I said the Steelers were the better team, but the Bengals had the better negro coach, and I picked Cincy. They got their ass kicked at home. This one's in Pittsburgh, and it's for the AFC North title. Pittsburgh has the better team, but the Bengals have the better negro coach. But maybe the coach don't matter, so much. Pittsburgh.
Man, missed the picks this week. Really, the only one I care about is the Falcons/Panthers game. I pick the Falcons. They've played well these last few games, even the ones they lost. The offensive line is finally clicking enough and the defense has found an identity that is sometimes decent-to-good.
ReplyDeleteManlet is fucked in Cleveland. The idiot was late or something to his leg rehab and got fined. He's got one job and no classes now. What the hell is his problem? I figured his Wonderlic score demonstrated some intelligence but he's acting like JaMarcus Russel.
The midget lacks character. . .
ReplyDeleteMan, Houston, Balt and SD all trying out-choke each other. . .
ReplyDeleteRodgers injured, but before that he was badly out-playing Stafford. The difference between the two is pretty significant.
ReplyDeleteA little confidence booster for Stafford just before the half. . .Lions ain't quite dead.
ReplyDeleteAtlanta looks terrible. Ryan.....man.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the Falcons score--what the fuck???
ReplyDeleteBye bye, Smith.
Ryan is being Ryan. It's so bad. Special teams looks worse than normal.
ReplyDeleteBye bye, Smith. Sad. Coach killer Ryan just did it.
ReplyDeleteMan, is the Panthers defense playing that good, or did Atlanta's offense completely disappear?
ReplyDeleteMotherfucking Joique Bell with the lamest fucking fumble of the year. . .gave the God damn game away.
ReplyDeleteLions shat the bed, too. Was hoping to switch and see something good.
ReplyDeleteFalcons crapped it up on offense. Ryan threw a couple interceptions. Should have been 3 more. Just bad. Huge contract on him that resulted in cap moves brought us here.
Smith will be gone along with GM. Too bad.
Smith gave Atlanta some good years. . .but I have to wonder if he'll get another HC gig. He got labeled as an End Game bungler. . .
ReplyDeleteNow I got to watch the Lions lose to Dallas next week. . .might as well not make the playoffs. Got listen to 3 1/2 fucking FOX hours of Cowboy/Romo jingoism
ReplyDeleteHe should get something somewhere. Maybe college. DC somewhere. Lots of defensive coaches aren't considered that bright.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Pittsburgh game. Cincy, right? Haha, Dalton vs Roethlisberger? Bell vs Bernard? Enough said.
Pittsburgh. Big.
Wait, did idiot Suh stomp on the NFL fave son?
ReplyDeleteThe hell?
Yup. . .Suh stomped Rodgers. . .if they suspend him, that was his last game as a Lion. . .never won shit with him.
ReplyDeleteHarbaugh out in SF. Everybody holding their breath here in Michigan. . .
ReplyDeleteDetroit can draft a big bastard with fresher legs who won't require the huge dollars.
ReplyDeleteGuy is a good player but with shit like that, who needs him?
I agree. He ain't even as good as Watt, and what the hell good is
ReplyDeleteWatt? Todd Gurley would be more valuable to Lions than Suh, cuz Gurley could give Stafford a run game.
I'd worry about that injury with Gurley.
ReplyDeleteNow that I sit here and think about it, I don't think I've seen a really good NFL game this year. Did you?
ReplyDeleteThat early New Orleans and Falcons game that came down to a FG and I missed most of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there were more. Games seem to go right down the memory hole for me.
This year has killed me with the terrible ref calls for roughing and interference.
The replacement refs weren't that bad. They only could be bullied because they were gonna be gone soon. The reg refs are pretty shitty, too.
ReplyDeleteThe other Falcon NO game was good, too.
ReplyDeleteLots of horrible SNF and TNF, though. Really bad. TNF needs to go.
It's done. Harbaugh to Michigan. Now I can look forward to college football again.
ReplyDeleteBell hurt. Looks bad. If this really is bad, I'm changing my SB favorite.
