It's an interesting study in the bell curve that we've got for us, hm? I don't really think I'm catching the ladies on this one, but dadgummit, I want to be the top of the bottom third! If Rutgers can be bowl eligible, can't that happen? The Noo Yawk Football Giants [/facendasound] host Washington. I fear they will gakk it somehow. But I shall be brave and believe in the fourth-quarter rally. GIANTS. Green Bay took it on the kisser last week and I wonder if this is an unrecoverable spin for them. It seems likely that Cincy is going to be ticked after blowing their chances early against the Steelers and will take it out on them. But this is why I am in last place. PACKERS. Screw it. It's not often in football that you get to correct an injustice, but Steve Mariucci got the chance when he picked up Jeff Garcia. Together again, ain't it great to be together again? LIONS. Back to nappy time for Mini-sorter. PANTHERS. Did Lamont Jordan's arms fall off during the week and nobody told me? Tennessee is FAVORED in this game? That's a typo, right? RAIDERS. It kills me to pick these guys, but it's not like they're the NY Rangers. COWBOYS big-time against Ariz. Did the Cleveland team bus sink in the Mississippi during the week and nobody told me? This isn't just a typo, it's a cruel joke to Houstoners already suffering over the Series. BROWNS. Ah, an NFC team. These guys, Miami knows how to play against. DOLPHINS I hate St. Louis. These guys kill me every week because I don't know if they're going to be the guys who won the Super Bowl or the guys that lost 84 straight games to San Francisco. JAGUARS. But I know I'm wrong just by saying it. On that topic, Marty Schottenheimer is the same deal. He should coach the Rams next season. I think the dome would catch fire and sink into the river. CHARGERS but I'm not confident. How do you keep the Forty-Niners from crashing your hot party? Call it the end zone! HA! BUCS. Philly's banged up and doesn't have a huge emotional rallying point this week. Neither have they had a running game for some time. It would have been so hard to get Travis Henry during the offseason? BRONCOS. Last week I saw Buffalo's coordinators working on their resumes on the sidelines. PATRIOTS. Finally, Monday night. Steelers face a letdown game after their big win against Cincy but they get the extra day, and if they haven't been keeping track, Baltimore is somehow still in this. Stay sharp. STEELERS, and if they blow it I'm holding Lumpy personally responsible.
