The week it's the battle of the nicknames, with the wimpier coming out on top (er, no offense to anyone). Humans are, by definition, assumed to be wimpier than the animals (even the birds). Wimpiness in animals is defined as being more likely to be eaten by the other animal, if there are two animal teams playing one another. Wimpier humans, well, that's more or less self-explanatory and will be judged by me and my oddness. Nonhuman/nonanimal nicknames are morphed in some weird way or another into a human or animal. I'm sure I'll forget the logic by the time I finish this post. My picks are in bold.
St. Louis (0-5) Baltimore (3-2) Ravens somehow carry off Rams in their talons
Minnesota (1-3) Chicago (2-3) Vikings beat Bears while Brunhilde warms up
Miami (0-5) Cleveland (2-3) a buncha guys named Brown catch Dolphins in their tuna nets
Washington (3-1) Green Bay (4-1) Meat Packers trounce Native Americans
Houston (3-2) Jacksonville (3-1) Texans dazzle Jaguars with drawls
Cincinnati (1-3) Kansas City (2-3) Chiefs capture Bengal tigers
Philadelphia (1-3) NY Jets (1-4) Jets (the gang from West Side Story) dance over the Eagles
Tennessee (3-1) Tampa Bay (3-2) Buccaneers help Zeus defeat the Titans
Carolina (3-2) Arizona (3-2) Cardinals (either human or avian) beat Panthers. There's a sign of white smoke.
New England (5-0) Dallas (5-0) - who's it gonna be, folks? Patriots beat Cowboys because, hate to say it, but tricorner hats are much wimpier than stetsons. dys told me to say that.
Oakland (2-2) San Diego (2-3) Chargers (cards in hand -- yes I know they're supposed to be horses, but the bad joke was so inviting ...) beat Raiders. Ka-ching!
New Orleans (0-4) Seattle (3-2) Saints over Seahawks. Domini Patriae, indeed.
NY Giants (3-2) Atlanta (1-4) +total score Thyroid-case Giants step on Falcons. To the tune of a very wimpy 21 overall points.
This week belongs to the underdogs!

So Monday night I'm watching the alleged NFL game saying "Good Grief,
I, the Amazing Giorgio, may have actually called this!"
"No, I guess not."
"Hey, wait a minute! Maybe so..."
"Ooooooh, 'fraid not."
"They could still do it!"
"Oh, crap."
What a roller coaster ride.
I just want Romo to have that kind of night against the Patriots.
This might be the week I pick who I want to win. That won't be easy either, since some of my least liked teams play each other. (Least liked is not to be confused with poor records. It's a more ephemeral quality.)
