Last week I went 2-2-2. I thought last week was going to be tough, I'll take 500.
I wonder if Terrell Owens is going to be picked up by Desparate Housewives to replace the guy in the basement the show fired this week.
My record is a pathetic (for me) 27-26-3 going into this week. Bacon Specials are 1-6-2 (Blech). Here we go:
Giants by 9 over Minny. I can't believe I'm taking a team giving 9 points, but Minny sucks and the Giants are looking real good right now.
Oakland at home getting 3 against Denver. A healthier Moss will help, the home team advantage will help and I think that the bye last week will hurt the Broncos. It was a rhythm stopper.
Green Bay getting 9 in Atlanta. This is strictly a gut call. I don't know why but I think Green Bay will cover.
St. Louis getting 6 and a half against Seattle. Seattle is better this year but I am seeing a very high over under in Vegas right now. Lots of points usually means a see saw type of game. I think Seattle will win by 3 or 4 but the Rams will cover.
And my Bacon Special: The Buffalo Bills by 2 and a half against KC. KC had a dramatic win last week against Oakland with a totally gutsy call made with 5 seconds left, but the Bills have been able to review the tapes of this Priestless team and I'm expecting McGahee to get a couple of TDs in a Bills victory. I have also heard from a few Bills fans and they are saying the Bills have no chance this week. Well, why are they favorites in Vegas. Take the Bills.

PAT ROBERTSON IS EMBARRASSING
This man is sick and he is getting sicker each and every day. He needs to be put down.
But the embarrassing thing about this is that he makes news and he actually has followers.
It is one thing, that America has Free Speech, it is something to be proud of. It is another thing, that this guy makes news with his absolutely insane rants.
He is a retard, and his followers are completely out of touch with reality. It turns my stomach that so many people believe in his crap.
The town of Dover beware, you have accepted science and facts over mythology. I'm sure the sick piece of dung Pat Robertson is now praying for Dover to be destroyed by a natural disaster. It would put a smile on his pathetic face.
I have absolutely no respect for Robertson or anyone who has an ounce of respect for him. Robertson is proof that he and his sheep are mentally ill.
Again, I will bring out this stat. 65% of high school drop outs believe a young earth and creation occurred less than 10,000 years ago, 25% of college grads believe the same thing. Conclusion: the more ignorant one is the more likely they are to believe in a young earth and creation.
End of Rant.

PRAYERS PAY THE SAME INSURANCE PREMIUMS
First, I want to thank The Raving Atheist(http://ravingatheist.com/archives/2005/11/why_does_god_hate_amputees.php) for inspiring this post.
If prayer is so powerful, how come it hasn't caught on with actuarial science? Why do those who pray, pay the same exact insurance premiums as a godless infidel like myself?
This just doesn't make sense. If I get hit by a car, or get struck by a tree branch during a storm, I must be way more prone to a longer hospital stay than someone who prays. I must even be more likely to be struck by a car than someone who prays to be safe from harm each day too. I must be way more likely to die of unnatural causes than someone who prays. I'm sure the insurance companies are hiding their findings for their own financial gains since believers outnumber dudes like me at least 2 to 1. And I definitely wouldn't be a candidate to be able to walk again or see again if I was paralyzed or became blind. Those who pray also have congregations praying for them, I might have one or two sympathetic believers tops talking to God on my behalf.
About The Raving Atheist's post, I would like to add the following: it seems that God only performs "miracles" that can be explained scientifically on the ones he picks and chooses to cure. Making someones limbs grow back would created too many believers for heaven. "Curing" cancer or "restoring" eyesight through prayer keeps his numbers managable because doubters like me need more to tweak our interest.

NFL PICKS FOR WEEK NINE
Correction, I jumped the gun last week stating my Bacon Specials were a pathetic 1-6-1 last week. With last weeks overtime loss in the Detroit Chicago game, I am now a pathetic 1-6-1 with my Specials. On a positive note, I am now over 500 on the season overall. My record this year is 25-24-1.
This week is gonna be tough. I don't remember seeing so many road favorites ever in one week. This week, the home team are underdogs in 9 out of 14 games. I hate handicapping these type of games. Ok, here goes:
Oakland getting four points against KC. I'm expecting close to 60 points scored in this game with very little defense. This game might see saw all day. The game will come down to the last play.
Cleveland by 3 against Tennessee. The Browns are at home to one of the weaker AFC teams.
Tampa Bay getting one point against Carolina. Tampa has to show they can win without Griese. They came off a humiliating loss to San Fran last week. They will rebound.
Washington by 3 against Philly. Philly looks bad, and Washington probably worked as hard as they ever have looking at tapes this week after last weeks disaster against the Giants. Good teams can lose and even get clobbered, if they don't rebound, they aren't a good team anymore.
The Superbowl Champion New England Patriots GETTING 3 and a half points at home against seemingly unbeatable Peyton Colts. You just have to take the Patriots. I don't care if the Colts win by 20, you have to take the Patriots just on principle alone.
Bacon Special for today is New Orleans getting 3 against da Bears. New Orleans will win this one. Da Bears bubble will burst down the stretch. Today New Orleans will poke a hole in the bubble. Is it no wonder my Bacon Specials are so bad that I depend on teams like the Saints to cover?

NFL PICKS FOR WEEK EIGHT
500 feels so good. I'm back to coin toss status as I went 4 and 3 last week, bringing my season total to 21-21-1. Of course, my Bacon Special got fried (get it, bacon, fried, oh forget it). Actually the Giants were favored by 2 but only won by 1, so it really was a clouded loss against the spread.
I feel my groove coming on. I'm not stabbing blindly here, I know what I'm doing.
The Giants by 2 over Washington. Washington needs some air taken out of their tires. The Giants are good at home and Eli is getting better with time.
Houston by 2 over Cleveland. Hooston is 0 and 6, but bookies still insist you have to give points if you want to bet them. Something is fishy in Houston, and it isn't a New Orleans hooker.
Kansas City getting 6 points against San Diego. I have no respect for the conservative Schottenheimer. In fact I've always hated the way he coaches against the bettors. He doesn't have to be conservative, he has the guns.
Arizona getting 9 and a half against Dallas. I smell an upset. Parcells is the second most conservative coach in the league. The losses to Dallas and San Diego were strictly due to conservative coaching. Conservative coaches don't blow out teams usually.
Buffalo plus 9 against New England. I think the champs will win, but the Bills will make it closer than 9.
Denver by 3 and a half against Philly. Denver is a great home team, Philly doesn't look right to me. Denver will win the game, but they might win by only a field goal, that extra half point is tough to give, but what the heck.
And now my Bacon Special. *********WARNING BACON SPECIALS ARE PATHETIC SO FAR THIS YEAR (1-6-1)************* Forget the disclaimer and take Detroit by 3 points against Da Bears. I don't care if Garcia is gay or not, he is better than Harrington, and they are playing this game for first place in the wretched NFC North. Look for Kevin Jones, not Thomas Jones, to have a break out game and for Da Bears to come back to earth.
