Philadelphia 0-1 at Detroit 0-1 - 1:00 PM [Sheridan's odds: Philadelphia by 6]
Poor Calvin Johnson. The last time someone got screwed that hard was Jodie Foster in the pinball scene from The Accused. In the future, Detroit Lions receivers are advised to hold on to the ball for at least two trimesters, just to be sure.
This week, both starting quarterbacks are going to sit. Kevin Kolb is out with brain damage and Matthew Stafford is out because he's always out. So the Eagles will start PETA spokeman Michael Vick, and the Lions will start Shaun Hill, whose numbers get worse every season.
--RJ's Pick: Detroit by 1 [The over/under on the number of mutilated pit bulls found in the visitors' locker room after the game: 13]

Vick should have been the starter from the get-go. He reminds me of Randall Cunningham when he came back to play for the Vikings. More mature, more pass-oriented. Eagles will win this easily. That Johnson lost-TD has demoralized the Lions.
Lions got screwed, big time! Does the NFL want Lovie to keep his job? I think maybe the NFL played up the Jets romance with the latina reporterette to downplay the Lions non touchdown.
Vick is a cancer that will “lead” the Eagles to years of misery before he fu@ks up again.....the “quarterback controversy” will divide the team and the city...and Vick will be his inconsistent selfish self.
Calvin Johnson is the most over-hyped WR in human history.....
He plays for an awful team. Gets double-teamed on every play, because he’s the only threat. No quarterback, no offensive line, no running game, no coaching. He might do better for a good team.
Same excuses I heard when he was at Georgia Tech.....poor, pitiful Calvin...never had a QB, on Offensive Line or other receivers...but I have heard for seven years how he’s the second coming of the WR. I’ll take undrafted, and cut by San Diego, Wes Welker instead. No hype...just catches.

New England 1-0 at New York Jets 0-1 - 4:15 PM [Sheridan’s odds: New England by 2.5]
First, a joke: 53 New York Jets walk into a bar. The bartender is a gorgeous Latina who is wearing an outfit that appears to have been spray-painted on. Every Jets player treats her with the utmost respect, maintaining eye contact at all times and leaving a generous tip. A pleasant time is had by all. Later, she is sexually assaulted in the parking lot by Rex Ryan. (Rimshot!)
Seriously though, if that chick doesn’t cause you to act a little bit silly, then you are most likely dead. Or gay. Or blind. Or a dead gay guy with no eyes.
Now on to some football. Wes Welker is a mushroom cloud-laying moth********.
