Perhaps he's finally using the brain Gus bought for him -out of pity- during last year's football pool.
The kid's average week was about 4-10.
This weeks winners:
Tampa Bay-Wouldn't be surprised if Jets win though.
St. Louis-These 2 are impossible to pick
Green Bay-They will win one
Chicago-Thomas Jones is solid
Detriot-Harrington looked firey last week, maybe he'll stay that way.
New England-Big rebound victory
Houston-Andre Johnson breaks out
Miami-Buff. has no QB
Indy-Niners have NO CHANCE
Carolina-Easy win
Denver-Gibbs dream season ends, but still he's 3-1
Dallas-Big time home win for Cowboys
Jacksonville-They will be eager to play hard under the Sunday night lights
San Diego(40)-They will continue to beat good teams.
Tampa Bay
St Louis
New Orleans
Cleveland
Detroit
New England
Tennessee
Buffalo
Indy
Carolina
Denver
Philly
Cincinnati
Pittsburgh(37)
Tampa Bay - Whay the heck... they're on a roll
Seattle - flipped a coin, seattle was heads

Baltimore - Come on... It's Detroit
Atlanta - Could NE's dynasty be over?
Tennessee - I need a big week from McNair for my fantasy league
Miami
Indy - Manning is just warming up
Carolina
Wash - I'm going with Washintons D to contain the Snake
Philly
Jacksonville - I don't know why I picked them
Monday night:
San Diego (42) - Brees is looking good and never forget LT
Tampa Bay

Oh my, Child, Are you going to let fbaezer get away with this seemingly scurrilous comment. He even mentioned your name with gus' in the same sentence. (Johnboy, of course, is not trying to provoke a foodfight between fbaezer and child. Johnboy would never do that. heh, heh)

Go Visitors!
Cool. Ten of yall in already. But I do sometimes find myself feeling like I'm picking up after a two year old. How many points, el-diablo, in the Monday night game?
Testaverde starting for the Jets...
Might be a game after all.
Or not.
A lot tougher picking this week, but here goes anyway:
Tampa Bay
St. Louis
Green Bay
Cleveland
Baltimore
New England
Tennessee
Buffalo
Indianapolis
Carolina
Denver
Philadelphia
Jacksonville
San Diego (51)
I still need predictions from bbaptiste and gus. And el-diablo needs to fill in the score of the tiebreaker. Panzade can be counted on to post around one hour before kick-off.
I was intrigued by the discussion about bookies and point-spreads that went on earlier in the week. We pick here "straight up." Which team wins the game. If you have an opportunity tommorow, pan, please tell us what the bookies were offering an hour before kick-off. No hurry, of course, we are playing by the regular rules.
10/9 1:00 ET At Cleveland -3 Chicago
10/9 1:00 ET At Green Bay -3 New orleans
10/9 1:00 ET Tampa Bay -3 At NY Jets
10/9 1:00 ET At St. Louis -3 Seattle
10/9 1:00 ET At Atlanta -3 New England
10/9 1:00 ET At Buffalo -3 Miami
10/9 1:00 ET At Detroit -1 Baltimore
10/9 1:00 ET At Houston -3 Tennessee
10/9 4:05 ET Indianapolis -14.5 At San Francisco
10/9 4:15 ET Carolina -2.5 At Arizona
10/9 4:15 ET Philadelphia -3 At Dallas
10/9 4:15 ET At Denver -7 Washington
10/9 8:35 ET At Jacksonville -3 Cincinnati
Monday Night Football Point Spread
10/10 9:05 ET At San Diego -3 Pittsburgh
Just for the heck of it, I'm gonna try my hand at it tomorrow. Just for fun.
Hint: I definitely like Chicago, Cinci, Tenn and San Fran as u-dogs
about a half hour until the first games and johnboy is on tetherhooks trying to bring in pan and gus and bbaptiste and el diablo's prediction of the number of points in the Pitts-San Diego game. (for many years I thought the word was tenderhooks).
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
