My Packers were
VERY lucky last weekend. I watched that game and KNOW that it was
Woodson who changed the momentum of the game. (It just shows that
the Packers are the better team for him to really show his ability.)
I think it does
appear that the guys are ganging up on your favorite Mystic. When
you look at the top of the page it’s The Mouth of Motown, The Tout,
and (the ever-handsome) Casey Smith VERSES little Ms. Mystic Mona.
Seems a bit unfair, hmmm?
I like The Tout’s
idea of my teaming up with Casey. Besides, he and I are of like mind
when it comes to predicting that The Patriots “will…go…all…the…way”!
So, I think our beautiful editor should change the top of the page
to place The New Guy with Mystic Mona.

Last week Mona
graciously wrote that I "warmed the cockles of her
heart". My picks last week left my cockles cold,
(can you say frigid?) and this week promises to be
no different. Alas, the competition here is stiff,
but it's a long season. Further references to
cockles can be inserted at the reader's discretion.
Believe it or not, New England faces perhaps its
greatest challenge of the young season this week:
the Miami Dolphins. Laugh if you will, but the Fish
have had the Pats number as of late, and there's
nothing more dangerous than an 0-6 team that a clear
frontrunner tends to overlook and plan for the
showdown with Indy. That being said, I'll take the
Patriots, I just don't know about the spread yet.
The chic and sexy pick of the preseason, my beloved
49ers, will hopefully have their quarterback, Alex
Smith, back in action. Unfortunately, they take on
the sudden juggernaut know as the New York Football
Giants. Niners could be burnt toast after this
week, but in the upset prone season, I'll take my
boys, just because I should.
The rest of the games, (yawn) will probably make
good bedtime stories..
Nevertheless, here we go. |

Can you
believe it? Mystic is two wins away from tying yours truly…
that was a rhetorical question; I know you can believe it;
the way I’ve running lately… and Casey keeps improving -
beating Mystic by one and this “Tout” by two SU, this past
week. C’mon college hoops… unless I enroll in a monastery
before then; one that prohibits any contact with the outside
world or at least with sport fans…. I’m only kiddin’
(sorta) I’ll stick it out and take it like a man.
Speaking
of “man” WOW “Charm, grace and obvious
intelligence?” Mystic never said that about me and of course
about the Mouth, she would be committed if she said that
about Motown…. Be careful Casey, Mystic may want to
borrow $$$$ from you, to cover some bets she made on a few
of her “just for entertainment picks” …
Casey the
“Pats” are looking good.
Less
learned this… Month if you don’t start walking in my shoes
soon or vise versa, I’m going to start throwing darts at
a picture of you know who….
The SU
standings going into week 7 are:
Mystic -
42-33 56%
Casey -
18-23 44%
Mouth –
13-2 86%
And yours
truly 44-31 58%

1 Star for a season record of 16-9-3 64% and +
10 Stars.

Pardon my
brevity but I am trying to pack for a week of "suffering" in Hawaii.
My colleagues will have to do without me next week altogether as I
plan on doing no football related studies. I think they'll get over
it.
Lions/Bucs
One of my rare votes for my "homeboys" who are coming off a bye and
facing a team with no running game to worry about. Garcia playing
well for Bucs but this line looks awfully cheap.
Redskins/Cards
I apologize for recommending an over a TD favorite but just can't
find anything more appetizing on this week's card. This sets up
perfectly for the 'Skins coming off a tough loss where if they
merely hold onto the ball they beat Green Bay easily while the Cards
travel cross country with their 3rd string QB. Their defense has
allowed an avg. of 26 points per game on the road vs. three subpar
offenses which bodes well for Jason Campbell having a big day.
Cowboys/Vikings
This looks like one of those name the score games if Dallas chooses
to show up which I'm guessing they well coming off a national TV
embarrassment. Vikes one dimensional (Adrian Peterson) offense not
likely to get the job done. Brady shredded them I'll grant you;
Taverius? or whomever, won't!
