Well, I'm back for another week of picks. I guess I must be pretty good at this or something. I'm not going to say I'm a genius, but I'm sure many of you saw how well I did last week. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but let's just say daddy has a new pair of shoes. Anyway, we'll continue with last week's format, giving you a little guide into how to spend your Sunday. Without further ado, I give you my picks:
Change the channel:
Carolina at San Francisco:
Rough two weeks for the Panthers. Last week, they had to fly all the way to Oakland, now all the way to San Francisco. Whenever I go on long flights, my back ends up hurting. On that basis, I've got to give it to the 49ers, I guess.
Chicago at Tennessee:
If two teams play but no one sees it, did they really play? Deep, I know, but seriously, this could be one of the worst games all year. Titans win because....I have no idea why, they just do. You don't care and neither do I, but it's still a game, and I've still got to make a pick.
Only if Laguna Beach re-runs are not on:
Kansas City at New Orleans:
There will probably be a lot of scoring but who really cares? Neither team is going anywhere and they probably don't even care, so why should I? "Because you're the one making the picks," you say. Fair enough. Chiefs win with probably a thousand rushing touchdowns.
N.Y. Giants at Arizona:
So that Larry Fitzgerald guy is pretty good. And Arizona's defense isn't that bad either. The Giants are coming off a bad loss (bad in the sense that I picked them to win) against the Bears. I think you know where I'm going with this. Yup, that's right, this is my upset special of the week: Arizona beats the Giants.
Detroit at Jacksonville:
Two young teams battling it out. If this were 2005, maybe you'd have something, but of course its not 2005, its 2004, but you already knew that. I'm going to have to go with the Lions here.
