The worldwide leader in linking to Curly R

Wednesday update: Results are in, Curly R scores 9 wins, 5 losses, good for a tie for second with Hogs Haven and not enough to best CommonPrejudice at 10-4. Post Game Heroes once again was in last place..


Sunday
BAL (-4) @ CLE
Pick: Browns. Platooning quarterbacks as a strategy, on the road, against the team that you used to be? Bad idea.
Result: Browns. Could they be the Forrest Gump of 2007?

TB @ CAR (-3)
Pick: Buccaneers. Tampa has screwed me every week, I bet this week is no different.
Result: Buccaneers. In college we called them Carowhina.

CHI (-3) @ DET
Pick: Lions. This is an easy one and the secret hint is spelled B-R-I-A-N G-R-I-E-S-E.
Result: Lions. I hear Brian Griese is fun when he drinks.

STL @ DAL (-13)
Pick: Cowboys. The Rams are done, the Cowboys can score, the Tony Romo honeymoon continues.
Result: Cowboys. As a Redskins fan my only hope is Tony Romo getting busted in an airport homaseckshul sting.

GB (-1.5) @ MIN
Pick: Packers. In a close game bet on Brett and this will be a close game.
Result: Packers. If I were Roger Goodell I'd see if Brett is back on the Vicodin.

HOU (-3) @ ATL
Pick: Texans. Matt Schaub, the neglected heir, the former stepchild to His Vickness coming back to Atlanta? This should be fun. Wahoowa!
Result: Falcons. Another reason to hate Atlanta besides Coke.

DEN @ IND (-9.5)
Pick: Broncos. They lose but cover.
Result: Colts. Peyton Manning could light up asbestos.

OAK @ MIA (-4)
Pick: Dolphins. Cam Cameron may be the Little Norval but Lane Kiffin doesn't even have pubic hair yet.
Result: Raiders. 75 passing yards and five total TDs for Daunte? The very definition of fluke.

NYJ (-3.5) @ BUF
Pick: Bills. This will be a close game and I can't pick the road favorite.
Result: Bills. How classy is this, the Bills have already cleaned out Keven Everett's locker.

PHI (-3) @ NYG
Pick: Eagles. I hate all this fucking NFC East bullshit I can't tell who's good.
Result: Giants. Hard to feel bad about this one.

PIT (-6) @ ARZ
Pick: Steelers. Opened a point and a half toward ARZ then moved, in these cases I bet the momentum.
Result: Cardinals. Steeler fans everywhere clutching their beer guts for comfort.

KC @ SD (-11.5)
Pick: Chiefs. Opposite use of the momentum rule, this line opened a point and half toward SD then moved.
Result: Chiefs. The Chargers are in the midst of one of the worst turnarounds in league history.

SEA (-2) @ SF
Pick: Seahawks. Half point of movement does not impress me one way or another.
Result: Seahawks. Like beating up on a girl, you feel better now Mike?


Monday
NE (-7) @ CIN
Pick: Patriots. This is the maybe they're overrated week. They're not.
Result: Patriots. Shallow corporate raiders, Bill Belichick would put his mother on the street.


Redskins are off this week, take the opportunity to enjoy football for a change. Results tallied Tuesday.
