Running in Place

The Big E stumbled around last week with a 2-2 week, leaving him at a terrible 7-12 record for the year.  Whee.

Well, we think the Big E will stay away from college football for awhile, as clearly he doesn’t know what the hell is going on there.  We thought our Buckeyes would stink this year…  and lo and behold, we’re #1!!!  Oh yes, the whole country still thinks we stink, as we roll over pasty after pasty.  Too bad!  Yeah, we’ll probably lose soon, but what do we know?  GO BUCKS!

So who’s going down in flames this week with the Big E stamp of approval?

texas tech +3.5 over MISSOURI       Ok, we lied.  Here’s another NCAA game for you!  Kiss of death, Red Raiders!  Well, we think Missouri is coming off an emotional, difficult game versus the class of the Big 12, Oklahoma.  Their top running back will not play.  Plus, Tech has a pretty good record going themselves, at 6-1.  Seems like a good place to look for an upset.

atlanta +8 over NEW ORLEANS    We think Byron Leftwich will give the Falcons a spark after suffering under the perfectly awful Joey Harrington for the whole season.  Falcon-Saint games have some wacky things happen, and why are the Saints 8 point favorites over anyone?  Oh, we know, they finally beat someone, so now the great Drew Brees and Reggie Bush will win the rest of their games.  Maybe not.

new york jets +6 over CINCINNATI   If you have two bad teams playing… take the points.  Chad Pennington playing for his job does enough to lose by less the 6 points.

And finally, this Best Bet, brought to you by the Fat White Bastards, who will be making their triumphant return to the road, running in the Columbus Half Marathon Sunday.  Chuck Armstrong, Doug Carey, Eric Arnold, and new Bastard Bryan Price, will attempt to navigate 13.1 miles without injury or incident.  There’ll be a lot of flab flouncing in Columbus:  it’s going to be ugly!

DENVER +3.5 over pittsburgh     We used to make a living on these type of games.  We have a mediocre to good team, Denver, playing a very good Steeler team.  The Steelers have been going great guns, while Denver has been in a tailspin, coming off their worst home loss since LBJ was in the White House.  But the Broncos have had a bye to think about things, and we think the extra preparation time will be key.  Take the points at home, as the Broncos surprise on Sunday night!

Failure is not an option!
