NFL Week 3 - Nicknames Abound
I have now announced my official mascot as the Effing Ostriches try to make some sort of a comeback from last place.
So, now… without further ado… Ezekiel the Effing Ostrich! (He is sooo ill-tempered.)
Now for the picks.
Jaguars (+6) at Titans - There is a theme this week and I am not sure that I am going to tell you what it is. The Titans are a damn good team and even though the 6 point spread seems kind of high, I am going to go with Air McNair and company at home.
Browns (+3) at Giants - Homer in the house hating on the Giants. I am picking the Good Guys despite the fact that a team plane crash might have decimated the team less than the injuries last week to Kellen Winslow Jr, The Nimbus Cloud, Courtney Brown and Gerard “Small Change” Warren.
Bears (+9) at Vikings - Bears had a big win over the Packers this week and I really don’t think they can repeat, but they are being given 9 points. The Vikes are good and especially good in a vacuum, IE their dome on turf. Are they 9 points better on the turf? We will find out. I will take the Vikings and the over.
Packers (+6) at Colts - Packers are demoralized. They are overrated and the Colts appear to be the best team in the league not named the Patriots. I go with the Colts at home. I especially hate the thought of Brett Favre on turf and I think the speed of defensive backs on this turf is going to hurt him. Look for him to throw two interceptions trying to force the ball.
49ers (+11) at Seahawks - 49ers + 11? Smart money would see this game and just run the other way. How do you pick a game with a spread of 11? At the same time, the 49ers are poised to become the next Cardinals. They have nobody and they let Terrell Owens go bye bye. I will take the Seahawks even though it is huge points. Mark my words, a “meaningless” field goal drive by the 49ers followed by a failed on-side kick will ruin this game for me.

If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
Woah….That Ostrich is pissed!
