Gadzooks-- My Boys won and them Soapy 9ers picked up the tab... but have any of you ever drank three dozen Pink Squirrels?

I wish I could say... I didn't!

Let's see, Thursday night who cares who wins between the Phins and Black Byrds? I don't but the coin flip here says Crab City's Fowled Up Laddies will get a victory--

On Sunday the Viqueens will keep the Brownstains in the no win column--

Them Georgia Byrds should get back to winning against them Jersey Jets--

And the Bucking Ears should win, keeping Cam on the bench with a towel over his head--

Imp's Bears might win but I've got to pick the Ain'ts--

TCU North's Red Headed Step-child should get a win against Luckless Indy--

Big's Pattycheaters will roll on over La Bolts--

Seven's Waiders will get a win over the Bills--

I'd love to see the Soapy 9ers pull a fast one on them Godless Iggles, but they won't--

Allegra's Texicans knock off the Seathugs--

My Boys pound a bucket full of nails into the Deadskins' 2017 coffin--

I'm calling an upset as the Loinchopps ambush Big Ben's Stoolers--

Monday night my Old Dallas Texans get down to business and ride the Broncs for the full 9 yards--

Now, that's my story... and I'm sticking to it!

Week 8! Once more into the breech my friends!

Thursday, Oct 26, 2017

Miami at Baltimore 8:25 pm CBS M&T Bank Stadium The Nevermores are soooo bad. They have managed one offensive touchdown in the last two games. It would be an overstatement to say the offense is pathetic - they have no offense. The Dolphins meanwhile are resurgent, even with Matt Moore at QB. The Phish will squish the Birds. Dolphins.

Minnesota at Cleveland 9:30 am NFLN Twickenham Stadium Another London game?! This seems to be a weekly event now. It won't make any difference to the Browns. Vikings.

Atlanta at N.Y. Jets 1:00 pm FOX MetLife Stadium No other team has fallen as fast and as far as the Falcons this season. They do however catch a small break this week in meeting the Jets. Falcons will rebound - a little. Falcons.

Carolina at Tampa Bay 1:00 pm FOX Raymond James Stadium These two teams are absolutely confounding. Panthers laid an egg against the Bears; Bucs did the same against ... I don't remember but they lost. Still, I don't think Carolina is that bad. Panthers.

Chicago at New Orleans 1:00 pm FOX Mercedes-Benz Superdome Bears have undergone a minor rebirth - they've won two in a row! The Saints however are scoring in bunches - wish I had Brees on my fantasy team - and at home? Yeah, Saints.

Indianapolis at Cincinnati 1:00 pm CBS Paul Brown Stadium The Colts are another team in disarray. The Bengals are not as bad as their record indicates. Bengals.

L.A. Chargers at New England 1:00 pm CBS Gillette Stadium Don't look now but the Chargers have won three in a row. As a reward they get the Pats at Foxboro. The win streak comes to an end. Patriots.

Oakland at Buffalo 1:00 pm CBS New Era Field Oakland righted the ship against the Chiefs last week (okay, they had a lot of help at the end, but they put themselves in that position). But I still have my doubts. I have doubts about the Bills too, but my doubts about the Silver-and-Black override my doubts about the Bills. Bills.

San Francisco at Philadelphia 1:00 pm FOX Lincoln Financial Field The Niners played their worst game of the season against the 'Boys last week. And while the Eagles suffered a couple of significant injuries in the game against the Redskins, they will overcome those. Eagles.

Houston at Seattle 4:05 pm CBS CenturyLink Field Sea-Hags have not exactly been overwhelming but they have been winning. Texans have been putting up a lot of points but not necessarily wins. And now a tough test playing Seattle in Seattle. Hmmm.... Upset of the week here: Texans!

Dallas at Washington 4:25 pm FOX FedEx Field Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott showed some real life last week. Okay, it was just the Niners but still they put up forty points. Redskins... well, their struggles will continue. Cowboys.

Pittsburgh at Detroit 8:30 pm NBC Ford FieldThe Kneelers seem to be hitting their stride. Despite the distraction that is Martavius Bryant and a potent Detroit offense, they roll again this week. Steelers.

Denver at Kansas City 8:30 pm ESPN Arrowhead Stadium Three weeks ago the Broncos looked like the class of the AFC. Same could be said of the Chiefs. But the Broncos were EMBARASSED by the Chargers last week, and let the previously winless Giants manhandle them at home before that. Chiefs had some problems too, but that game against Oakland was a toss-up not an ass whooping'. They'll rebound this week. Chiefs.

And in college ball this week ...

Sorry I’m late with picks, here’s my Thursday pick and I’ll provide the rest later tonight

Without Cutler the Dolphins splash the Ravens out of the sky, Victory to Miami.

[pepsi_junkie]

• Minnesota at Cleveland: Cleveland. Hah! Just kidding! I'll take Minnesota for the win.
• Atlanta at N.Y. Jets: The Falcons are terribly overrated and the Jets are terribly underrated. But this week I'll take the Falcons to bounce back and win.
• Carolina at Tampa Bay: Cam went into a funk after getting beaten by Philly, he's volatile that way. But two weeks is long enough to pout, the Panthers win in Tampa.
• Chicago at New Orleans: New Orleans is hot, I'll take them over the hapless Bears. Saints win.
• Indianapolis at Cincinnati: I will not pick Indy to win a single game without Luck. Bengals win by default.
• L.A. Chargers at New England: New England has apparently sorted out their early season woes, at home I'll give them the edge. New England.
• Oakland at Buffalo: Buffalo continues their streak and wins against the Raiders.
• San Francisco at Philadelphia: Looking out the window says this will be a sloppy mess of a game. I'll take the under. Oh, you want a winner? Eagles of course!
• Houston at Seattle: Houston players hate the owner now, stupid protests probably about to ruin Houston season. I'll take Seattle.
• Dallas at Washington: Washington is awful. The only purpose they serve is to injure several of your players before they lose. Dallas will win this. The only question is will they go home healty? Typical NFC East slugfest but the Cowboys win it.
• Pittsburgh at Detroit: I feel Pittsburgh takes the win here. Just gotta be honest, I'm not "lion". See what I did there?
• Denver at Kansas City: K.C wins this one at home.

NFL "DEAD" THREAD is a more apt title for this thread.

It's sad how the NFL is bound and determined to destroy their product by allowing hate for America and hate for President Trump to be displayed on the field. Now I hear that the Houston ball club is planning some kind of protest this afternoon. A pox on all of them. I hope that all NFL clubs lose today - at least in terms of revenue and viewership.
