So, I went 10 and 6 in my picks this week. My losses? Here ya go: Immutable fact: Lions canā€™t win on the road. 'Til I pick Da Bears. Ravens versus Browns? Twenty to three sounds just right. It went the wrong way. Unexpected throws plus Tomlinson leave Texans Hanging in the Brees. Itā€™s the Steelers plan: Drive it to the one-yard line. Then get on the Bus. McNabb to T.O. Times three. Comeuppance is due. Just wait 'til next time Favre on Monday Night? Money in the bank, for sure. But I picked Panthers. :smack: BONUS! : ā€œIā€™ll nail the punter 'Cause Iā€™m a cheap-shotting punkā€ Says Mr. Trotter. ---

Well, not counting the Monday night game, Iā€™ve gone 9-6. Okā€¦I can handle six haikus: Chicago over Green Bay: I am fine with this Suicide pool, Iā€™m still in Nine Pack fans are gone šŸ˜ƒ N.Y. Giants over Washington Giants are my team My 'Skins pick ensures Blue win That, and seven picks Indianapolis over Tennessee Colts played this one great Hope the QBā€™s kid sibling Makes giant throws too Carolina over Kansas City Pourus run defense DeShaun has a monster game Vermeil cries some more Jacksonville over Denver Game looks in the bag Bobbled handoff blows the deal Griffin cannot fly Ravens over Steelers A 20-point hole Is damn hard to climb out of Never even close BONUS! Fumble, fumble, pick, fumble, pick, pick, pick. Giants defense schooled the 'Skins Thatā€™ll do for now. Iā€™ll not need to post one tomorrow, since the Birds collape begins tonight. Go Vikes! ---
