A lady should
never gloat when her three-pick are 100%, especially when she chooses
tough games (Packers and Patriots) last week - she should wait until
she predicts all of the winning teams correctly. When THAT happens,
we’ll notify Jay Leno and make this weekly publication even more
popular! And then Casey, The Tout and Motown Mouth will live happily
ever after.
I mean no offense
because I think he’s really swell, but I’m never quite certain what
The Tout means when he’s doing his pick highlights with the really
cool moving stars (I want moving stars)…does he mean we’re supposed
to bet on the team he lists first? If that’s the case (and my math
is correct), then the only one he got right with the point spread
was the Jets. And as for Motown Mouth, well, 33% - need I say more?
I believe that
last week’s games set the tone for who will be going to the BIG
game. Casey and I both know that one of the teams should be the
Patriots. However, though I am mad about the Packers, I’m falling a
little in love with the Cowboys, Steelers and Lions.

So, the
playing field has been leveled, and I don't
mean Mona's Ouija board. The Patriots are
for real, but they're also, unfortunately,
on their bye week. No betting lock this
week.
| |
|
And yes, the Tout is right, I chose
the 49ers with my heart last week,
but it's a different story this
week. The Niners have had the
Seahawks' number as of late and they
seem to be able to ground the birds
in their home cage. The rest of the
picks, well, seem like no brainers.
(that should leave the field open
for a few upsets!) |
| |
Oh, and one more thing. All you
Packer Backers and Cowboy Cuddlers
better take your new-found success
with a grain of cheese and horse
dung. This year's Super Bowl will
be a super embarrassment for
whatever NFC pigeon happens to earn
the right to paint a big 'ol bulls
eye on its back.
I'm comin' to get you Tout! Mona,
you're still the best!!! |

Pad
this…..
It
appears the Mouth got a little too much sun in Hawaii or
perhaps he did partakeith of some tainted coconut milk!
He claims
that his colleagues (which includes his “2 bit – 4 bit”
teammate) attempt to pad their numbers in the SU selections
by choosing mostly favorites. However, the verified facts
tell us that it is in fact my esteemed mentor, on a
percentage basis fingers more “favs” than his contemporaries.
Through this past week Motown has chosen 16 out of 21 teams
that gave one or more points to their opponents; doing so at
a 76% clip, while yours truly attempts to “pad” only 67% of
the time, (76 out of 112 games.) Mystic shows an even
smaller percentage of “pads”. So my friend, check your facts
with your eyes before whining with your mouth….
And
lastly Mouth, thank you for sparing us the verbosity you
normally subject us to, this past week.
Like the
Baltimore Ravens this was a week to forget!!!! Got whooped
by both Mystic (by two) and Casey (by 1). If they keep
picking the 49ers, I’ll have a chance to make amends.
Team vs.
Team – the “Cockles” went 17 – 11 – 61%, “2 Bits–4 Bits”
came in at 8-9 47%. For the season the “Cockles” are 114-84
– 57.5%, “2 Bits–4 Bits” 90-48 – 65%.
My star
picks “saw stars” going 1-4 – minus 9½ stars. We’re still on
the positive end of the stick for the season at 23-17-4 –
57% + 4 stars.
We’ll
get back on track with the selections below. |

I have nothing
to say this week, I have no opinions, these are my picks.
O.K. so I
lied. The day I have no NFL opinions is the day you can hook me up
to the ventilator.
Titans/Jags -
Titans
JUST WIN. If
may be with mirrors, or the Jeff Fisher genius but this group plays
good D, smart football and should handle the on the downswing Jags
who have serious problems both at QB and stopping the run.
Chargers/Colts
- Chargers are the upset special of the week. This poorly coached
gutless outfit with a QB who should be ballet dancing and not in the
NFL. (Here that Phil, grow some cojones or hit the road) may still
have enough in them to atone for last week's embarrassment and take
advantage of a superior Indy outfit who couldn't be blamed if still
hung over from last week's "Game of the Century"
Dolphins/Bills
- How's this Dolphins pick for going out on a limb. I just
can't see this proud organization going winless for the season; and
this may be their best shot at avoiding said infamy. As far as
concrete reasons why they should win........uh I don't believe there
are any.
Once again I
would like to thank the Tout for his "article". Its the only cure
for my insomnia.

Motown
