Yeah, yeah, it's 8:30 on Sunday, how can he possibly make predictions? Look, I've been at work all day so the only things I know about this week are 1) The Miami game was delayed by rain; 2) The Buccaneers won, but I would've picked them to win anyway.
Sunday
Pittsburgh Steelers at Arizona Cardinals
Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers
Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts - The Colts and the Patriots are far and away the two toughest teams to beat in the NFL right now.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers
Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers
St. Louis Rams at Dallas Cowboys - Romo is doin' thangs.
Oakland Raiders at Miami Dolphins - Will Daunte Culpepper leave Miami thinking they let him go too soon? Or will he again mourn the loss of Randy Moss?
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
Houston Texans at Atlanta Falcons
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings - I'd really liked to have seen this, the game in which Dan Marino's career TD record gets broken.
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions
Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
Monday
New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals - Not a good week for home teams if I'm right on these.

Weeks 2 and 3 Recaps
Didn't get a chance to fire one of these off last week, so let's consolidate. Week 2 left me 9-7 for the week and 20-12 on the season. Week 3 I went 8-7 for 28-19 overall. Fan-fuckin'-tastic.

Week 3 Predictions
So this is my dedication to you, the faceless readers: Here I am in a Mariott in Hotlanta, kinda buzzed after an open-bar wedding reception. I'm in the lobby with a mini bottle of white Merlot from Sutter Home, as Saving Private Ryan plays on TBS on the big TV about 40 feet to my right. I've got to be awake in 5 hours to drive back to Orlando to get in in time for my shift at work, but such is my dedication, faceless readers, that I went to the lobby (away from my drunk girlfriend) to update with my picks. I fucking hate you, faceless readers.
Sunday
Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears - The Bears will still allow huge points.
New York Giants at Washington Redskins - The Giants will still allow huge points.
Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons - I saw people checking in to the hotel with Peppers jerseys in tow. Leftwich is set with the Falcons but I don't know if he'll play. Either way, it won't make a fucking bit of difference.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Denver Broncos - Jville is gonna be good this year but I dunno if they can handle the Donkos a mile above sea level.
Cleveland Browns at Oakland Raiders - Sweet Jesus what a stinker of a matchup.
Cincinnati Bengals at Seattle Seahawks - Home team.
St. Louis Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - All aboard the busted-ass broke down Jeff Garcia bandwagon!
San Francisco 49ers at Pittsburgh Steelers - Upset special. The Steelers aren't as good as everybody wants them to be. Fucking bank on this. I promise you.
San Diego Chargers at Green Bay Packers - :favreduck:
Minnesota Vikings at Kansas City Chiefs - I don't want to upset my current girlfriend by picking my ex-girlfriend's team over her team.
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets - One of the best rivalries in the NFL comes to this.
Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans - The Texans' D is expected to do well because they have so far. The Colts lost the last time they played Houston at home, but I really think Indy is gonna blow Houston away.
Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles - Westbrook carries the team to victory.
Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots - The New England Patriots: Cheating Our Way to Victory Since 2001.
Arizona Cardinals at Baltimore Ravens - Whatever. Bird-based teams don't interest me.
Monday
Tennessee Titans at New Orleans Saints - They'll be pissed after losing to the Bucs and the Titans aren't that hot. Plus they'll be in the Superdome, where the ghosts of all the disenfranchised blacks displaced by Katrina will haunt the visiting team with visions of pooing on each other and rapes and murders.

15SEP07 - Where Were You?
So apparently Blogger is run by fucking homos so I can't embed a movie directly. Having said, that, you best peep this shit. It's videos and pictures from UCF's inaugural home game against the Texas Donghorns.

College Companion
Continuing my determination to look at college football on a writing basis, we'll turn our attention to Week 3.
Thursday brings us #4 West Virginia visiting Maryland. I'd reckon WV beats the hell out of the Terps. Also, TCU plays at Air Force. Who cares.
Friday brings an 8:00 PM matchup between Oklahoma State @ Troy. I guess Troy will win 'cause they're the home team? I don't know. As I said, 119 teams is a lot to keep track of. I like it better when ranked teams play unranked teams (and then Div I-AA teams beat #5 teams).
So, on to Saturday. Fuck all the noon kickoffs. The 1:00 PM kickoffs suck, too, unless you've got a hardon for #20 Clemson against Furman. Wasn't he the racist cop that planted evidence to frame OJ? Anyway, there's fuck all on TV until 3:30 PM so you can sleep in Saturday. Just make sure you're awake for #22 Tennessee's trip to #5 Florida. Football Jesus AKA Tim Tebow will have his first real test Saturday. Me, I'll be walking about a mile to the new UCF stadium to see the Knights take on the 'Horns in the opening game at Brighthouse Stadium. After a quarter or so of play, when the Longhorns are up 31-3, I'll probably walk home and catch the rest of the Tenn. - UF game. Also at 3:30, Notre Dame visits Michigan. It'd be great if it were possible for both teams to wind up 0-3 but someone's got to win so I hope it's Michigan because fuck the Irish. Right up the ass.
So at 8:00 PM, #1 USC visits #14 Nebraska. It's on ABC, so this'll be my first chance to see USC in action this year. Frankly, I don't buy it. When USC is made to play LSU or VA Tech, I'll respect them. Until then, keep beating up on San Jose state, you fucking Left Coast queers. Hopefully Nebraska will husk your corn, whatever that means. Also, #21 Boston College visits #15 Georgia Tech, which is one of the only games where two ranked opponents play each other this week. I'll take the rambling wrecks from Georgia Tech.
9:30 brings #24 Hawaii to UNLV, where Colt Brennan will throw for 8,000 yards and 40 TDs and people will still talk about him deserving a Heisman despite the fact that any jackoff could throw for those kinds of numbers in the WAC.
10:00 PM gives FSU a chance to visit the Colorado Holed-up-in-a-cave-in-a-Mountainmen. Fuck the 'Noles. End transmission.

Week 2 Predictions
Yo, I'm drunk as a lemur so let's do this shit:
Sunday
San Diego Chargers at New England Patriots - Definitely THE game of the weekend. These two teams will meet again for the AFC Championship.
Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos - Look, the Raiders are fucking terrible, the Donkos are decent... this is a no-brainer.
New York Jets at Baltimore Ravens - Picking the home team. It's a tough start to the season for the East Rutherford Jets, but they'll be close to AFC contention this season.
Kansas City Chiefs at Chicago Bears - Kansas City more like Kansas Shitty. Larry Johnson is not in football shape and will underperform yet again. Start Brode Croyle, start Damon Huard, it don't matter, man. You're doomed, Herm.
Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals - The superior bird-based team comes out on top.
Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions - A fucking shock, I know. The Lions will be 2-0 for the first time since 1927.
Dallas Cowboys at Miami Dolphins - The Dolphins just don't have what it takes to compete against Romo and TO. Dallas put up 45 fucking points last week for crying out flavin'.
San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams - I don't buy this hype about the Rams doing anything.
New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Please, prove me wrong, Bucs.
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans - Laser, rocket arm. Peyton is pretty much unstoppable.
Houston Texans at Carolina Panthers - Houston won last week, but I don't think they'll be able to contain Peppers.
Green Bay Packers at New York Giants - Crazy, I know. New starting QB Jared Lorenzen weighs in at 285 with a BMI of 35.5, making him the heaviest QB in the league. Some nicknames to get you started talking about Lorenzen for the next month or so: Quarter (got) Back; Hefty Lefty; Battleship Lorenzen; J. Load/J. Lo; Barrel; BBQ (Big, Beautiful Quarterback); Round Mound of Touchdown; and my personal favorite, Pillsbury Throwboy. You're welcome.
Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns - Browns are still terrible!
Buffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers - Fuckin' Roflberger.
Atlanta Falcons at Jacksonville Jaguars - Dear Falcons, your starting QB is Joey Harrington. You could've had Schaub. Suckers.
Monday
Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles - Monday night, at home, against the Redskins. Eagles by a huge margin.
Sunday
San Diego Chargers at New England Patriots - Definitely THE game of the weekend. These two teams will meet again for the AFC Championship.

Week 1 Recap
11-5 last week, 11-5 on the season.
I'm surprised by: Houston, Brett Favre, Eli Manning.
I'm not surprised by: Peyton Manning.
Brett Favre played with a hell of a lot of heart and intensity Sunday, as he always has. Trademark shovel passes as he's being sacked without resorting to GUNSLINGIN' means a nice win for the Packers. Truthfully, I like Favre and would like to see him go out on a 10-6 season. Along the way he will break the NFL records for career TDs and INTs. Bank on it.
Eli looks like he might be coming into his own, pulling his head out and playing ball. We should see some great performances from him in the coming weeks. Oh wait, his shoulder got separated. Shit.
Houston. Matt Schaub finally gets a chance at starting and does pretty fuckin' well. Granted, it was against Kansas City, but still. These guys might go 9-7 and be a quasi AFC South contender for 3rd place.

College Collage
Why not? Let's take a look at some NCAA highlights for the upcoming week. I'm just sitting here eating leftover stir-fry, you're sitting here reading this, admit it: we've both got nothing better to do.
The early-week games look pretty one-sided. #10 Louisville's gonna piss all over Middle Tennessee State on Thursday and #16 Rutgers shouldn't (sadly) have too much trouble handling Navy on Friday. Thursday does give us Oregon State @ Cincinnati, though. Last year, both teams were fairly entertaining to watch as early-week contenders, so there's that. Of course, here's to hoping for a MTS rout of Louisville. Every week should have an Appalaichan State @ Michigan game.
Obviously the real meat-and-taters is Saturday. I'll have to set my alarm clock to make sure I'm awake by 11 AM for the first game of the day. Honestly, who scheduled these games this year, the schools or the TV networks? Can we perhaps return to sanity next year? Miami has their second noon kickoff at #8 Oklahoma. Of course I pick the 'Canes because of blind homerism.
Personally I don't give a shit about any other games until 5PM, when UAB will (hopefully) begin to kick the shit out of the 'Noles. At 6, the Gators take on Troy, which will be broadcast nationally exactly nowhere. However, Notre Dame visits #17 Penn State where they will (hopefully) lose again so that my two most-hated NCAA teams are 0-2 to start. Then at 7, #22 TCU visits #4 Texas. The only reason I give a shit is some arrogant TCU cocksucker telling everyone that they'd be #1 by the end of the season and we'd all be legally bound to worship at the shrine of some dumbass nobody's ever heard of who is also TCU's starting whatever. I really want Texas to royally fuck TCU up for that, and then on the last play, for TCU to somehow injure every starting Longhorn so they're nice and soft for UCF on the 15th.
Anyway, the big game is at 9:15: #9 VA Tech @ #2 LSU. Should be a fucking awesome game.

Week 1 predictions
Regular season football is finally fucking here. Let's get this show on the road:
Thursday
New Orleans at Indianapolis - This is probably what the Superbowl should've been. As good as the Saints were last year (and will be this year), good AFC teams beat good NFC teams.
Sunday
Atlanta at Minnesota - Neither of these teams are very good, although the Vikes could have an offense decent enough to wine a few games.
Carolina at St. Louis - Home team.
Denver at Buffalo - Buffalo's not quite there. The Donkos are hoping they have everything in place to go to the Super Bowl now that The Snake is gone.
Kansas City at Houston - If Matt Schaubb can stay upright.
Miami at Washington - The Redskins aren't being hailed as championship contenders this year, which might mean they actually are somehow?
New England at N.Y. Jets - As much as I hate it, it's really tough to pick against the Patriots.
Philadelphia at Green Bay - Brett Favre should just stick to being a fantasy football QB.
Pittsburgh at Cleveland - The Steelers aren't that good anymore, Roethlisberger is overrated, the bandwagon is no longer a fun place to be, and this will be the year all of these crushing realizations come down on Steelers fans... but they're still better than the Browns.
Tennessee at Jacksonville - The Jaguars will probably be a little disorganised after Leftwich's release.
Chicago at San Diego - Huge blowout potential here.
Detroit at Oakland - Cripple fight!
Tampa Bay at Seattle - Prove me wrong, Bucs.
N.Y. Giants at Dallas - This game should give a good indication of whether or not Romo is for real and if Eli can finally get his fucking head in the game and play for 60 minutes.
Monday
Baltimore at Cincinnati - The Ravens' D is getting old. They're still gonna be a solid unit this year, but they're away, so why not?
Arizona at San Francisco - The '49ers are a far superior team. Also, I'd like more Monday Night Football double-headers. It's pretty exciting, actually. When football is still on at midnight, I feel like I'm living on the West Coast.
Thursday
New Orleans at Indianapolis - This is probably what the Superbowl should've been. As good as the Saints were last year (and will be this year), good AFC teams beat good NFC teams.

Well, whaddya know, FSU did collapse against Clemson. They looked like the same loveable bunch of shitty football players I remember from last year. I'm honestly surprised Coach Foghorn Leghorn didn't follow last year's strategy of starting Xavier Lee in the 2nd half, although Drew Weatherford did do pretty well in trying to orchestrate a comeback drive. So, there's that.

Terrible Secrets of Space
1) David Garrard is the starting QB for the Jags. I can't imagine anybody ever trusting anything Jack of the Rio says again.
2) Unless #19 FSU collapses against Clemson on Monday, #5 Michigan is one of two top 25 teams to enter week 2 0-1. The other is, of course, Tennessee, which is what you get for not scheduling a rent-a-win.
At this point, Michigan does not deserve to be in the top 25 for the rest of the year. It's one thing for the Florida Gators to lose to #11 Auburn and still go to the championship game. It's quite another for the 5th best team in the country to lose to a Div-IAA team, even if they are back-to-back defending national champions of Div-IAA football. Michigan fans: your whole team got caught looking forward during WEEK 1 for fuck's sake. How does that even happen?
Next two opponents for Michigan: Oregon, Notre Dame
Next two opponents for Appalachian State: Lenoir Rhyne, N. Arizona
Ladies and gentlement, the prosecution rests. Strike Michigan from the top 25, install Miami. Trust me on this. Miami will finish the season in the top 25 100% guaranteed. Top 10? Not unheard of. Mark it.
