Week 13: Keep it movin

After weeks of futility, I’ve been .500 or above for 4 straight weeks and now I’m only a handful of games below the middle-mark. Tis the season for giving, so give I will… The picks, that is.

Week 13:

Bills at Dolphins (-4)
Miami’s 3rd string quarterback is named Cleo Lemon. I don’t even have a joke here… Pick: Dolphins

Buccaneers (-4) at Saints
What I’d really like to see is an AFC team play at Tampa and have Phil Simms do color commentary for a game where Chris Simms goes 8 for 27 for 79 yards and 3 INTs. Let’s hear the effusive praise, Phil… Pick: Buccaneers

Cowboys at Giants (-3)
The Asian shop worker in the Snickers commercial had better luck tackling Tiki Barber than the Dallas defense will… Pick: Giants

Bengals at Steelers (-4)
Tommy Maddox has been so bad, it requires the entire Heinz Field housekeeping crew to pick up the pieces… Pick: Steelers

Falcons at Panthers (-3)
You have to wonder how much faster Warrick Dunn would be without that chain… Pick: Panthers

Texans at Ravens (-8)
Steve Mariucci, meet David Carr. David Carr, meet the man who will be coaching you next year… Pick: Texans

Packers at Bears (-7)
At the final whistle of this one we will begin to hear the whisperings for Brett Favre packing it in become louder… Pick: Bears

Jaguars (-3) at Browns
David Garrard: Auditioning for a starting job somewhere, for someone… Pick: Jaguars

Vikings (-3) at Lions
And suddenly Chicago sees a little purple in their rear view mirror… Pick: Vikings

Titans at Colts (-16)
At first I thought this line was high. At first… Pick: Colts

Redskins (-3) at Rams
When Rams quarterback and Harvard graduate Ryan Fitzpatrick repeatedly challenges his coach on a play call, and the coach asks angrily, “What, you think you’re smarter than me or something?”, I’m pretty sure Fitzpatrick just looks at him, waiting for him to realize… Pick: Redskins

Cardinals (-3) at 49ers
First Mexico City, now might I suggest Alaska?... Pick: Cardinals

Jets at Patriots (-10)
The Patriots are allowing 9 points more and scoring 5 points less per game this year. Don’t talk about injuries – they never seemed to make a difference in the past. I offer 5 words that mean more than any Patriots fan, Patriots bandwagon jumper, or Patriots player wants to admit: Charlie Weiss and Romeo Crennel… Pick: Patriots

Broncos (-1) at Chiefs
1? That’s it?... Pick: Broncos

Raiders at Chargers (-11)
MVP… Pick: Chargers

Seahawks (-4) at Eagles
Anyone else notice that Shaun Alexander has been next to invisible in the passing game this year?... Pick: Seahawks

Last Week: 11-4-1
Season: 83-89-5
