Weekly Picks

Going with an early pick and making it my best bet. Check back Sunday for the other four.

PITTSBURGH -5 cincinnati
A little unsure of this one because of an inconsistent team coming off a big win, but I like the matchup.

GREEN BAY +4 new orleans
Backup quarterback theory at work here.

dallas -6 SAN FRANCISCO
The 49ers are just brutal.

denver -1/2 LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
The Broncos will bounce back.

BEST BET
kansas city -3 OAKLAND
When you have the best team in the league coming off a loss and giving a field goal to a reeling opponent, you take that fuckin game. I know a lot of people don't like road favorites in division games, but those are just words.

MIAMI/new york jets under 38 1/2
GREEN BAY/new orleans under 47 1/2
SAN FRANCISCO/dallas under 48 1/2
NEW ENGLAND/atlanta over 56 1/2

Song of the Week

"Unforgettable" - French Montana featuring Swae Lee
Can anyone settle an argument? Mrs. Poop and I cannot agree if he says he's had enough "gumbo" or "combos."

Dick Stockton is Ron Burgundy

Longtime NFL announcer Dick Stockton made a bit of a gaffe during the Rams-Jaguars game.



I am not entirely sure what happened here, I actually doubt he was a teleprompter in the booth, more likely a piece of paper, which makes it even sillier to not just read those words, but to not realize he'd made a mistake.

I'm Veronica Corningstone.

Weekly Picks

Went 3-2, missed the best bet. This is the week I need to reverse the slide to keep a pretty decent season going.
tampa bay -1 1/2 ARIZONA
It's going to take me a little longer to be convinced that the CornPrices aren't actually a good team.

green bay -3 MINNESOTA
Have you watched Aaron Rodgers play football?

miami +13 ATLANTA
The Falcons just haven't been good enough this year to justify this spread.

DENVER -11 1/2 new york giants
The Giants are lousy and decimated. I would never pick against them otherwise.

BEST BET
new england -9 NEW YORK JETS

I need it to be a very bad weekend for New York football. But I still think the Jets are bad and I know the Patriots can score a lot of points on anyone.

Last Week: 3-2 (2 points)
Season: 12-13 (13 points)
Best Bets: 0-1 (3-2)
Home favorites: 0-0 (4-3)
Home underdogs: 0-0 (0-1)
Road favorites: 0-1 (3-4)
Road underdogs: 3-1 (5-5)

I don't really like any totals this week.
Unders: 1-1 (6-4)
Overs: 0-2 (2-6)
