I blew it last week, well actually Seattle blew it. There is no way in a created universe that Green Bay should have covered. But they did, and I went a shameful 2 and 4, bringing my season record to 11 and 13, which means that a chimp who has never watched a full NFL game in his life, would more than likely have a better record than me if he flipped a coin to pick winners. My Special also lost, which makes my record 1 and 3 in that department.
Let's move on. Week 5 is a tough week; I've never seen a week where 12 out of 14 games have point spreads of 3 and a half points or less. Wow. Any hoot, here are my picks:
Monday first. San Diego by at least 3 against Pittsburgh and Roethlesbergersteinowitz.
Tonite, Jacksonville will bring Cinci down to earth and win by at least 3.
Dallas will upset Philly today getting 3 points.
Houston will win by at least 3 against Tennessee.
The Bills are doing the smart thing and not giving up on the season starting Holcomb over their rookie. They will win today by 3 or more against Miami. It is too cold out today for Miami. I've always liked the name Kelly Holcomb for a quarterback.
And the Bacon Special is Atlanta with an iffy Vick over New England by at least 2.
For the life of me, I can't see how New England isn't 5 or 6 point favorites here. The Bookie Gods know something. Atlanta will cover.

SCIENTIST PROVES CREATION IS RIGHT
A startling find was made by Evangelical Scientist George Dumas on Tuesday in Tel Aviv, Israel. Dumas was studying the time it takes Jews to get from their cars and into their House of Worship. He had already timed the average Christian in the USA on how long it took them to enter their Churches.
After observing over 200 Jews, Dumas decided to take a rest from his scientific research. So he went to a park and decided to sit under a tree, when he came across a Hebrew carving on that very tree.
Being the astute scientist he is, he asked a Jew in the park what the carved words said. He was astonished when he found out that the Hebrew words translated to "God was here." A big "0" was carved under the words, which Dumas of course understood meant "in the year zero."
He then estimated the tree's age as around 5,000 to 6,000 years by counting the dead branches and inputting that data into his "secret age finding formula."
As far as the study on the comparison between Christians and Jews, Dumas concluded, "who cares, I now have absolute scientific proof that God created us less than 6,000 years ago."
When Dumas came back to the park with his camera to take a photograph the tree, he couldn't find the tree again. "I know what I saw, and that is good enough for me," said Dumas when pressed for proof.

It is Sunday Again: NFL Picks
I am a human coin. But a fair coin. So far this year I am 9 and 9 with my NFL Football picks against the spread. Dammit, I know I am better than this. I am 1 and 2 with my Bacon Specials. Now that is pathetic.
I have no excuses this week. I even really like 5 of my 6 picks this week.
OK, San Diego getting 4 points from New England. New England will crash. They are very sore and will focus on Tomlinson. Drew Brees will have a great game.
Jacksonville will humble Denver. Jax by at least 4.
Detroit will cover against Tampa Bay. In fact, I can smell an upset. Detroit is getting 6 and a half points as a cushion.
Carolina will blow out Green Bay tomorrow night by at least 8 points.
My 6th pick (I still haven't given my Bacon Special yet) was a tough one. I decided to go by the book and take a home underdog. Tennessee to cover over Indy getting 7 points. Something funny is going on with Indy, they are winning but Manning isn't throwing much, and their defense is playing great. Still Tennessee is not a slouch team.
Finally my Bacon Special. Go to the bank on this one: Kansas City will destroy Philly. K.C. is favored by 1 and a half, but look for a double digit romping today.

WHAT ARE YOUNG EARTHERS THINKING
It is one thing to believe the earth and the universe is less than 10,000 or even 6,000 years old. It is another thing to validate it.
Sorry, bible interpretation isn't enough these days. Where is the scientific evidence that supports this crap?
45% of Americans believe in the Young Earth, so where is one scientific study that points to the accuracy of this belief. The only thing I can find about Young Earthers and science is when they poke holes at Evolution theory, or geological findings.
Do Young Earthers believe it is impossible to properly date the universe or the earth, etc? Surely, there must be scientific studies that can prove the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth is only 6,000 years old. But they don't even try to prove their theory it seems. I wonder why?
If anyone knows of any scientific studies done by Creationists, please leave a comment with the website here.
