Week Eight
Last Week: 0-0-0
Season: 7-8-3

My trip to Oz has put me behind the eight ball time wise and I’m struggling to catch up. I spent eight hours recapping my misadventures on my personal blog (click EL SANDINISTA link) and barely have had time to pick three winners. Now I’m preparing my all time most evil and humiliating costume for the Halloween festivities this evening: RAIDER NICK. I’m not going to use the politically incorrect title for this outfit here. Scott at Bases Loaded recommended I wash myself with tomato juice after today. I was thinking more like setting myself on fire.


Indianapolis -6.5 @ Carolina
Vinnie’s back aka the living dead of quarterbacks. Wasn’t Charlie Frye one of his pallbearers a couple years ago? Somehow he has scared the odds makers into this ridiculous line. A kid born in 1987, his rookie year, could legally drink beer in all 50 states now. Maybe the thought is the Colts are looking past this game to the Patriots match-up.

Nick’s Pick: COLTS


Buffalo @ New York (A) -3
NYJ if you prefer. I’m taking an underdog just because. If Testicleverde was still a Jet I’d actually have a reason but he’s filming Shaun of the Dead 2 in Tarheel Country this weekend. Let’s see if I can make one more crack about him in the third pick.

Nick’s Pick: BILLS


MNF: Green Bay @ Denver -3
Can’t do it. Or can I? Vincent is so old he has been in the NFL four more seasons that Brett who go into Mile High where the Broncos, aside from last week, have had a home field disadvantage. Since I’m Raider Nick today I just can’t go with the Donkeys. I have to get started on my I LOVE AL DAVIS fake tattoo now.

Nick’s Pick: PACKERS
