NFL Week 4 - Craig vs. Justin (The Reckoning)
The Reckoning? What the hell is that supposed to mean. Well, I have always wanted to be a part of something, an event, a ceremony or something that had a name that invokes fireworks and pyrotechnics. I really have this desire, no matter how sophomoric, for some level of fame. So, I figured I would get some practice by naming the weeks from now on.
This week is called THE RECKONING. Whatcha gonna do brotha? This sunday at THE RECKONING Filtering Craig is coming for you and your number one spot! You better be ready and pray to all the pitiful gahds that will listen that I don’t get my hands on you, because what will follow will be ugly.
(I really need to talk to the folks at cablevision about putting this on pay-per-view.)
Cincy (+4.5) at Cleveland
I am going to have to go with the Brownies this week. I think Tim Couch, who has now had his first taste of the non-injury-related bench is going to play like a man possessed. If you think he is going to let his chance of not sitting on the bench slip by, you are insane. He never was a great QB, but he hasn’t been a horrible one either. Keep in mind he is still only like 25 or 26 years old. This stuff has to be eating him alive. Either that or the pressure will crush him. No no no, I mean glass half full. Browns Win!
Craig Picks – Cleveland
Justin Picks – Cleveland
New England (+3) at Washington
I am starting to feel badly picking the patsies every week. I think the improved Washington will be able to take the streaking Pats in Washington. Part of me wants to pick New England because of the Belichek factor, but I will pick the “old ball coach” instead.
Craig Picks – Washington
Justin Picks – New England
Dallas (+3) at NY Jets
As amazing as Dallas’ comeback on the Giants was, I can’t really pick Dallas to do that twice. I mean the Jets haven’t looked good all season, but you know what? Quincy Carter is the QB for Dallas. His luck will run out. Parcells is a great coach, maybe one of the best of all time, but Dallas’ win over the Giants was pure unadulterated luck which relied on the perfect bounce, windspeed, sun and moon alignment on that specific curvature of the earth in September for the last win. All those factors won’t occur this week.
Craig Picks – NY Jets
Justin Picks – NY Jets
Philly (+3) at Buffalo
I am going to have to take Buffalo at home. I am sketchy on this game because I am not sure at this point if Travis Henry will play, but I am going to bet yes and even though Philly is in a desperate place and they won’t be in Philly so McNabb will be able to breathe, I am taking the Bills.
Craig Picks – Buffalo
Justin Picks – Buffalo
Kansas City (-3) at Baltimore
Upset time. I am going to take one of the most powerful defenses in the game to stop the most prolific offense (and Priest Holmes’ sore hip.) Ravens win this one at home with at least one defensive and/or special teams touchdown.
Craig Picks – Baltimore
Justin Picks – KC

If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
The Reckoning
Let me tell you something, Mean Gene. I’m going to, uh, attempt to correctly pick some football games. Against the spread! Ohhhhh, yea! Dallas (+3) at New York Jets - This is like asking me which testicle I’d rather have crushed in a vice. Cowboys suck…
A few predictions from me if anyone cares. Dallas is going to kill the Jets. I don’t know I just have a feeling. Philadelphia is also going to have to win sooner or later so they may win big today. Craig why did you take Baltimore? I know they are home but Priest Holmes is the best back in the league. GO BROWNS!!!!
