With Rickhouse off in La La Land with real people, real comments, and real ideas, I thought I'd hold the fort down this weekend with some NFL picks.
The Lock
PATRIOTS (-13) over Jaguars
Before I knew what the actual line for this game was, I set my personal line at 14. Even with a line that high, I feel no reservations about picking the Patriots in this game. They're rested, they're at home, they're undefeated, and everyone and their mother seems to be looking for any type of convoluted reason to defend the Jags as winners in this game. To me, the whole thing comes off as desperate.
The "I Scoff At Your Line" Pick
COLTS (-8) over Chargers
This game is way too easy. A few questions:
Who is Rivers throwing to? Uhhh...
Is Tomlinson breaking 100 yards against a rested Colts D? Uhmmm....
Will Manning rebound from one of the worst performances of his career? Zuhhhh...
Is Vinatieri gonna choke in playoffs -- in a dome? Wuh....
No, you're not constipated; you're trying to talk yourself into picking the Chargers.
The Funny
Seahawks (+7.5) over Packers
Is it possible that Matt Hasselbeck could be one of the coolest QBs of our generation...you know, if he wasn't bald? I'm not trying to take cheap shots, but that "we want the ball, and we're gonna score!" has held up quite nicely since its inception a few years ago. The Pack should take this game, but the Seahawks will keep it close.
The Mystery
COWBOYS (-7.5) over GIANTS
Everyone's "on the fence" game. I say Owens plays, Romo shines, and the 'Boys win in a shoot out.

He didn't really put me in charge...I kinda just took over without asking.
Hey I appreciate it. The more guest posts the better. I've been lining up some solid talent, so hopefully we'll keep getting more in the future.
I'm giving my picks tomorrow, but my upset special is San Diego.
So BobbyStompy gets to have his column, but Eddie Money can't write about the NFL Babe of the Week? WTF
Fine, fine. EM's Babe o' the Week premieres Monday. You might have to do a new one though cause i dont think i still have that last email. It will run every Monday. I guess if Stompy gets free reign, its only fair Eddie Money does.
I'll contribute sexual favors for writers block to anyone who asks.
Ilike BobbyStumper's picks. I have the same four, only with the Colts pick being my lock.
See, you just don't get these kinds of comments at newspapers.
Also, I just watched the Fox pregame show feature on Hasselbeck, and I completely agree with Stompy's assement. Hasselbeck is the man, if he played in New York he'd probably be the most popular player in the league.
Ricky had to put a PATS fan in charge, what the f*ck
