Geez, the 49ers and the Dolphins won?! Talk about messing up MY ticket last week. Not that the rest of it was all that great…but at least all of my three picks were accurate.

The Giants are winning, my ever-handsome Casey because they have heart. They really want to win. It’s just like my Brett, this’ll probably be his last season and he’ll be able to transition is career on a high note. He’s broken a boatload of records this year, it’s likely that he’ll help his team get to the Big Game, and “This is why I’m hot!” Wrangler jeans (see U-tube video)!

In 1997, I purchased a picture of Bugs Bunny in the number 4 Packer Jersey from the Warner Brothers Store (used to be in the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace). It’s autographed by Brett Favre and it came with a picture of Brett autographing one of the 125 that he signed. I never thought I would be someone who would collect sports memorabilia, but those autographed things just seem to drop into my lap.

I also have an autographed picture of Tom Jones, but that’s a story for another time…

The Packers over the Bears (time to get even)

The Patriots over the Bills

The Colts over the Texans

Topping the past couple of weeks performance will not be easy as my selections have certainly cast a shadow of doubt on who the true "mystic" is but I'll give it my best shot. First I need to rant a bit. Now I know Brian Billick won a Superbowl several years ago (in spite of himself), but forget about Isaiah this is the guy who has to go. Fourth down and goal from the 1/2 yard line vs. the 0-13 Dolphins and 3 down with seconds to go and this "pussy" kicks the field goal. Are you kidding me? Then, wonder of wonders" he loses in overtime. Sorry buddy, you're gone... hasta la vista, adios, don't let the door hit you in the keister, goodbye.

Browns/Bengals         Gotta love these Brownies. Tons of heart as opposed to Cinci with tons of excuses; not to mention criminals. I say hitch up Jamal Lewis and let him run these Bengal into the ground. They're just biding their time 'til they can hit the golf course anyway.

Pats/Dolphins            Just kidding!! I'll leave this one for Mona.

Titans/Jets               Vince and company need to win out and get some luck elsewhere to make the playoffs. This is not much of a test, especially with the Jets spent from last week's difficult and emotional tussle with the Patriots. This has slaughter plastered all over it.

Texans/Colts    This week's limb climber. I'm counting on Colts coach Dungy to remain true to form and rest his key guys when the outcome is meaningless. Said strategy combined with the myriad of Indy injuries give overachieving Houstonians a legitimate shot.

Now go get the cash you need for your merry, merry Christmas!!!
