Saturday Afternoon QB
(Note: A piece by A.F.O.M.G. follows Sip's Saturday football picks.)
Live from Tempe, Arizona aka the land of girls named Brandy...
When I found out my buddy Coach was dating a girl named Brandy I freaked out. I freaked out almost as much as I did when I saw that the two games that I really like this week are games that the Sports Guy picked the other game.
What is better to me though is that the man has conceded.
He did not even write his weekly NFL picks column, instead choosing to go to his "Mailbag." That's funny to me.
My favorite piece of mail:
More importantly, though, I have 15 locks this week of which you are guaranteed to hit at least 8.
CHIEFS (-9.5) over Raiders
COWBOYS (+1) over Colts
Bengals (+3) over SAINTS
BROWNS (+3) over Steelers
Titans (+13) over EAGLES
RAVENS (-4) over FALCONS
Rams (+6.5) over PANTHERS
Bills (+2.5) over TEXANS
PACKERS (+6) over Patriots
Redskins (+3) over BUCS
JETS (+7) over Bears
NINERS (+3.5) over Seahawks
DOLPHINS (-3) over Vikings
Lions (+2) over CARDS
BRONCOS (-2.5) over Chargers
JAGS (-3.5) over Giants
Take the picks above, only reverse them. Instead of "over," insert "under" or maybe "will not cover the spread against."
J Schubes told me that he has given up gambling on the NFL. I'm down with that. Cold streaks will do that, I guess.
But there are a couple of games that I see value in this week. Bet them, I don't think I will, but I do see value...
Bears -7 over Jets.
The Jets are just hype city USA these days. People see Mangini as a fatter, younger Belicheck and while that may be a fair enough comparison in the future, I think it is still way too premature.
When the Bears win, they blow teams out. When teams stay with the Bears, they do it in the air with 15-20 yd passes down the field.
Chad just doesn't do that.
I just can't see the Jets getting past the 50 yard line on the Bears D.
Colts (-1) over Dallas.
This game is essentially a pick. Everyone is waiting for the Colts to lose a game, sure. That does not mean they HAVE to lose a game.
What's to say that the Cowboys can stop the Colts offense? Bill Parcells may love defense, it does not mean he has a good one.
Like the Jets, Tony Romo is about as hyped as anyone in football. At first blush, the dude looks pretty good. But he has not been playing against Peyton Manning and yet somehow people think he has a chance now that he is. Let's see how he does under the spotlight.
The Colts could go into Dallas and lose. But I would take them six times out of ten in this game which is why I see some value here.
It is 80 degrees without a cloud in the sky right now. About to hit the pool pre-Michigan vs. Ohio St.
Living the dream.
Have a good weekend all.

My favorite piece of mail:
Q: Your NFL picks suck. I feel like the guy in the phone booth toward the end of "Two For The Money."Funny that the dude is from NY. Shocked that this did not say "--Sip, NYC."
--John, New York
SG: Still in pain.
