Nix Pix NFL Week Ten


Week Ten
Last Week: 2-1-0
Season: 12-9-3


Still here, didn’t kill myself after the Cleveland game. Didn't even punch myself in the face. Serious. Anyway, I’ve been going through what can best be called “subject block“. It is like writer’s block but I can still come up with the words, just not anything worth writing about. I think it is from listening to Unplugged so much which is beginning to have a similar problem. Everything has been complained about. Of course don’t tell Don Shula. The holidays are coming, I’m about to fly to Seattle, the Rams are 0-8, life is good. That sucks when you are a pessimistic blogger with a god complex. I can’t write happy, I just can’t. Feel the segway....


Detroit @ Arizona -1

This should be interesting as the two most God fearing Christian QB’s in the NFL, Jon Kitna and Kurt Warner, face off to see who the higher powers like more. There will be enough fingers pointed sunward to jab a hole in the retractable roof at University of Phoenix Stadium. I have a theory that God likes the Lions this year and that they will in fact make it back to the same field as this game but in February. Kitna will again announce He Almighty has got his back for the two weeks before the game, the media will eat it up, Jim Gray will ask if Tom Brady is Satan, and in the end the Patriots will win 44-7. But for now…


Nick’s Pick: LIONS



St. Louis @ New Orleans -11

The Saints have got back on track in recent weeks but I’m not so sure they are eleven points better than even a winless team. The Lambs are bound to accidentally win a game soon and this could be the week. Insert sheep joke here.

Nick’s Pick: RAMS



San Francisco @ Seattle -10

My guest The Clarkston claims to be a Seahawks fan but wears 49ers garb all the time. Why? He liked Montana. We’ve battled on this issue ever since he took the corner desk at the Mirror. I’m more of a Wyoming guy myself. Now I’ve taken my Hawks on here a couple times recently and it backfired so I’m taking a page from Mr. Teed Off and taking the underdog in an attempt to induce reverse karma (not to be confused with the tricks women use to get me to stop talking to them, that's called reverse psychology). I fully expect to lose this pick and get two out of three for a second straight week.

Nick’s Pick: 49ERS (Go Seahawks)
