Ok, I'm not even
going to talk about it. A lady never gloats or attempts to defend
herself. Suffice to say, that darn "free will" of these teams and
their upsets are a bit nerve rattling. So, I'm back to just three
picks this week. And Brett, congratulations on the most touchdowns
ever, you da bomb!
San Diego
-6½ at Miami
Pittsburg
+4 at Jacksonville
Buffalo
+1 at Arizona

OK,
the reality check came last week. It sure was a fine time
for the 'ol".. on any given Sunday.." axiom to kick in.
What was worse, the carnage waged on my picks last week
or the bloodbath on Wall Street?
That being (whined), let's go back to the chalk board.
Washington +5½ will wallop Philly.
The Redskins are for real. Surreal, if you're a Dallas
Cowboys fan. They've got speed, roughness and they're
obviously still flying under the radar if they're 5.5 point
dogs this weekend. I'm getting on the 'Straight to the
Playoffs Express' with these guys.
In the Gotta' Do It category..
My beloved Niners +3 knock the Patriots for a loop.
There's obviously no objectivity in this one, but it's about
time the Walsh-less warriors one won for the Caser.
Detroit's +3½ gotta win one now, right?
No, that's not right, but if ever there was a time for the
ghost of Barry Sanders to beat up on the Bears, this is it.
Mona, I know you're shaking your gorgeous little head at me
right now, but hey, I'm in Vegas and I've got a "system".
Denver, I'm mad at you. You're in detention this week.
The rest of the story: Indy, Tennessee, San Diego,
Carolina, Washington, Detroit, Green Bay, Giants, Tampa, San
Francisco, Buffalo, Dallas, Jacksonville, New Orleans.

I was visiting
my esteemed colleague and fellow "Beast", The Mouth (please don't
tell anyone!) just before half time of the early games this past
Sunday, when he began to boast about the possibilities of him going
3 and 0 in "The Beauties and The Beasts" handicapping competition in
VCO's Friday Football Contest. It turned out however; he was
"counting his chickens before they hatched". In this case, the
chickens were Bison's
that stampeded over the St. Louis "Worms" in the second
half............ thus preventing The Beauties (Mona and Casey) from
both taking the 0 for 3 "collar" and yours truly from posting a
negative 1 and 2. As it turned out, when the smoke cleared Monday
night, the Beauties were 2 and 4 and the Beasts were 4 and 2. Thru
the first 4 weeks of the season the Beauties are 13-11 and the
Beasts' are on top at 16-7*
*remember IKE
The Mystic
One finally did not pick a Brett Farve led team as one of her top
picks, so what happens? She had to watch her Brett fling
6 TD passes
during a 56 to 35 drubbing by the Jets over the
Cardinals............ Our perpetual moon gazer has an extra week to
thing about it, as the Jets drew a bye, thus giving Farve's tired
old arm ("put up" 57
Sunday) a rest. They may run out of ice in the Jet's locker
room........
Well, the
blackbirds can still roam freely amongst the branches
For those of
you that are wondering "what the hell is he talking about?"
please
enjoy the previous weeks articles
(see at bottom of page)
and selections. Also check out the archives
The other
in-house competition between The Mouth and this Tout, remains the
Mouth up one at 8-4 to my 7-4* That will, I'm sure, change
soon..................
The "Star
Picks" wins and losses were only 3-2 this past week, but, the stars
(units) showed a plus 4,
bringing the season numbers to a little above 50% at
13 wins, 10
losses ATS, and the stars shine at
plus 10½
Here are this
weeks gems.......................
Ravens
+3 at Titans
Bears
-3 ½ at Lions
Bucs +3
at Broncos
These picks are
rated from 1 to 5 's
with a point spread
Remember -
"Don't wager with "beans" that, if lost, will make you resort to a
bean diet...

I know I swore
off the Lions for life but I just took a little jaunt through the
midwest, paid the old mohometown a visit and had a good time while
they were firing the worst GM in the history of the NFL and getting
a week off to contemplate their laughable first three weeks. ERGO
Lions
+3 ½ Absolutely, positively their last chance (with the mouth
anyway).
Cards
-1 I'm sorry, I know the Bills are much improved but Buffalo 5-0
just doesn't sound right to me. Besides I might as well
continue along the worst organizations in the NFL path.
Pats
-3 This week's schedule is so difficult to handicap I couldn't
find a third choice I actually liked. But the rules are the rules so
I'm sticking in Belichek with a week off, coming off an
embarrassing loss. Hey those aren't such bad criteria after all. I'm
liking it better now.
Tread lightly
this week. It might take a mystic to divine winners in this bunch.
Luckily we have one.
