Well, I stunk the bed once again, going 1-2-1 last week. What is up with that sh..? I’m 15-11-2 after seven weeks and I’m trying to get ahead of my other catz, Blue and Marc over there, and I’m lettin’ ‘em back in da game. I ain’t diggin’ it. And I ain’t diggin’ this… the one time I wish for my favorite team to get beat, they go out and beat up on someone. These can be my kind of days :) Holding the Arizona Cardinals’ Edgerrin James to 34 yards rushing??? Matt Leinhart to two picks and no touchdown passes??? Anquan Boldin to 4 receptions??? Breakout my Oakland Raiders, battlecats!!!! Wow, the definition of a bandwagon rider right here. Here comes Week Eight…

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS +7 AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES -7

What the hell? The Jaguars lose to the Texans last week 27-7 after a damn bye week??? It is a good thing that I didn’t have to do a write-up on that sucker… because I’d be pissed, straight up. “I was just a little off today”, commented Jacksonville QB Byron Leftwich after the game. Well no shit, Sherlock. And then there is Philly, who have lost their last two to the resurgent Saints and the still-weak Bucs. People, these two teams used to be juggernauts. What is going on over here?

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS -3 AT MINNESOTA VIKINGS +3

Being a former running back, you have just got to know that I am going to enjoy checking out this business. We have on one end of the field… Chester Taylor. Who? A 95-yard run for a touchdown on the way to 169 yards and the longest run in Viking history as his team beats Seattle at home 31-13. The guy’s almost averaging a hundred a game over six now. What? On the other end of the turf, we’ve got Corey Dillon and Laurence Maroney. They who? They’ve combined for over 680 yards and 7 touchdowns over six games. Oh wait… I forgot to tell you that Taylor has 2 touchdowns over those six games. My bad.

NEW YORK JETS Pick AT CLEVELAND BROWNS Pick

I’m not surprised that, at the time of this posting, that this game is a pick. Yeah, pick how badly one team will play over the other. I’m sorry, people, but I am not sold on these Jets. Forget the Browns… ain’t Thanksgiving on the way? ‘Cause these boys are done like that type of dinner. The Jets? They are 4-3 and everyone is dancing in the streets like the Ball is dropping in the Square. You let me tell you what is going to happen. The Browns are going to pull the plug on the DJ, and everyone is going to have to go home, because the party will be over very soon. Alright people, do you really think I’m that nuts? Party on, NY.

PREDICTION: Jets to win

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS +1.5 AT DENVER BRONCOS -1.5

Please wait a minute… I have to rub my eyes a couple of times right now because I don’t believe what I’m seeing. Just a minute. I gotta shake my head here. The Colts are underdogs. You must be sh#$#$# me. The Colts are underdogs? The Colts are underdogs. The Colts were 14-2 last year and are 6 and a fat zero this year and they are underdogs. That is some funny shit. I think that’s ridiculous; what does a team have to do to get some respect around places, huh? This is one great thing about betting; the Colts rarely win in the Denver air… it is a fact… so the assumption is the same will happen. Who knows? But clearly take this as fact… Indianapolis is a better team. Truthfully not by much, due to Denver’s defense. But the Colts are better overall. Stamp it.
