The Indians call it Candy Maize

Is there any better sign written by the hand of man or machine than: Candy Corn Half Off? Methinks not.

On to the picks:

Home team in CAPS

Arizona over MIAMI – With Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald, the Cardinals may have the best young wide receiver tandem in the league. Now if they only had someone to get them the ball…

PITTSBURGH over Philadelphia – Toot toot! All aboard the Ben Roethlesberger bandwagon! Yes, there’s room for you too, Mr. Kerry. Hey Marino, Collingsworth, make some room, huh? Next stop, Heinz Field!

Kansas City over TAMPA BAY – This may be K.C.’s last chance this season to hold an opponent under 35 points.

Oakland over CAROLINA – Is there any doubt left that the Panthers are last years Buccaneers? Slowed by injury, age, and inconsistency at the skill positions, they are dropping off dramatically after making the Super Bowl the previous year. Strangely enough, last year, Carolina was last year’s Bucs too, a moderately potent offense anchored by a dominant big-play defense. Creepy.

N.Y. Jets over BUFFALO – Man, did the Jets put a thrashing on the Dolphins last week or what? There’s no WAY they’re losing this week OR Man, did the Bills put a thrashing on the Cardinals last week or what? There’s no WAY they’re losing this week. Take your pick.

Dallas over CINCINNATI – Bill Parcells vs. rookie QB, take two. Let’s hope things go differently than it did for the ‘Boys against the Steelers.

DETROIT over Washington – That sound you hear is Mark Brunell’s stock hitting the floor and shattering into a million bite sized pieces. If only the Redskins had someone like Byron Leftwich warming the bench behind him like Jax did last year.

SAN DIEGO over New Orleans – You think the San Diego front office might be second-guessing their decision to draft a quarterback instead of a receiver after Drew Brees’ recent resurgence? Yeah, me either. Brees might as well invest in a vintage Jon Kitna 2003 Bengals jersey now.

Seattle over SAN FRANCISCO – Jettisoning Jeff Garcia and Terrell Owens really helped improve the attitude in the locker room, eh Niners?

N.Y. GIANTS over Chicago – Is it too late for the Bears to get Kordell back?

DENVER over Houston – Is Denver the most inconsistent good team in the league or what? This is a game the Texans should win. Why did I pick the Broncos again?

New England over ST. LOUIS – Looks like another Massachusetts team is up against another St. Louis team that can’t hit. Wonder what will happen.

Cleveland over BALTIMORE – Again. I don’t know how. But they’ll do it. Again.

INDIANAPOLIS over Minnesota – With a healthy Randy Moss, this game is a lot closer. Even still, it’s hard to imagine this game being settled in less than 60 total points. These two teams just should not be allowed to play each other indoors. Fans of defense, shield your eyes.




Last week: 7-7
Overall: 65-51 (56%)
