I listen to the blues. Right now I’m listening to a song sung by Geeshie Wiley and Elvie Thomas called ‘Pick Poor Robin Clean.’ It’s about gambling and hustling. After a 6-9 week we can change that song to ‘Pick Poor Timmy Clean.’
After three weeks we stand at 20-21-3. So we gotta come back strong. I’ve gone backwards since week one. So this week I’m going to go with what a wise man once told me.
When in doubt, go with the team with the better quarterback. Or don’t bet at all. My choice to you is to do the latter. I’m going with the former.
That might get me to .500 so here goes:
– At Cowboys giving 1 ½ to Lions
Tony Romo a little better than Matt Stafford
Pick: Cowboys
– Saints giving 7 at Jaguars
Not crazy about Saints defense and game is on grass, but Drew Brees over Blaine Gabbert.
Pick: Saints
– At Eagles giving 9 to 49ers
Vick over Smith but my gut says Niners
Pick: 49ers
– Redskins giving 1 ½ at Rams
This is a wash. I’ll take the experienced Rex Grossman of Skins.
Pick: Redskins
– At Browns giving 1 to Titans
Another wash so I will go with the home team.
Pick: Browns
– Buffalo giving 3 at Bengals
Ryan Fitzpatrick over Andy Dalton
Pick: Bills
– Vikings giving 1 ½ at Chiefs
Neither team deserves to be favored. I’ll give the edge to McNabb
Pick: Vikings
– At Bears giving 6 ½ to Panthers
Jay Cutler is better than Cam Newton. Isn’t he?
Pick: Bears
– At Texans giving 4 to Steelers
A biased pick for Big Ben
Pick: Pass
– Falcons giving 4 ½ at Seahawks
Matt Ryan over Tarvaris Jackson and Falcons desperate
Pick: Falcons
– Giants giving 1 at Cardinals
Eli Manning over Kevin Kolb
Pick: Giants
– At Chargers giving 7 to Dolphins
Phillip Rivers is better Chad Henne, but I’ve been wrong all year on Chargers.
Pick: Dolphins
– At Packers giving 12 ½ to Broncos
Of course Aaron Rogers is the man, but double digit spreads scare me.
Pick: Broncos
– Patriots giving 4 at Raiders
Tom Brady over Jason Campbell, but gonna go with home dog
Pick: Raiders
– At Ravens giving 3 ½ to the Jets
Flacco and Sanchez are a wash to me. I’m bound to lose with Jets eventually.
Pick: Jets
– At Buccaneers giving 10 to Colts
Freeman over whomever it may be. I’ve been sleeping on the Bucs.
Pick: Buccaneers
I’m listening to the blues right now as I often do.
Another week like last and I’ll be signing them.
