Previous Week (Week 12): (13-3)
Year To Date: 116-59
All-Time (2006 Through 2008 Combined Record): 335-195-1…
So, wow — I guess the New Orleans Saints are for real and their QB, Mr. Drew Brees is UNREAL. So unreal, in fact — he was statistically perfect against the Belichick-Brady show during the Week 12 Monday Night Football matchup at the Superdome — you simply do not put up a QB rating of 158.3 (Sports Illustrated) against Mr. Belichick’s defenses. Well, unless your name is Drew Brees, that is.
So, let’s see now… we’ve got a new week coming up — Week Thirteen, of course — and a couple of obvious questions remain:
1. Will the New Orleans Saints remain undefeated as they take their show to the hapless Washington Redskins despite a short week to prepare?
2. Will Peyton Manning’s undefeated Colts survive at home against the resurgent Tennessee Titans who’ve gone undefeated (TitansOnline) themselves (five wins in a row) after replacing former starting QB Kerry Collins with Vince Young?
Fact is, this is the National Football League and the old cliché “Any Given Sunday” (Saturday, Thursday, Monday, etc.) is not to be discarded. We simply won’t have the answers until the games have been played but as always, I’ll be glad to take a stab at it for you. Just don’t bet the house or even a dollar on my picks, or if you do, do so at your own risk. On the other hand, I’m having a pretty hot year, too come to think of it.
Enough talk — here we go…

Well, I’d take the Falcs over the Eagles, and the Jags over the Texans. Mostly because of home field.
On something completely differet:

Have to wonder why that wasn’t in the headlines.
@Joe Lovell, Wow, just found the time to skim through that article — troubling for sure!
@The GTL™, other things to think about – there are getting to be more and more reports of things like this. It may be all part of a huge mind game, make TSA and the airlines afraid to take on ‘muslim looking men’ for fear of being accused of profiling etc. Or to get the chance to sue the airlines to finance a big move agianst us.
Given the current lows in home equity, betting the house might not be such a risk. What exactly would you lose if you bet somthing that you owed $250K on something that would sell today for $198K? I think I’m ready to bet all my debt that the Redskins are going to upset the Saints this Sunday, and if not, you can have all my debt.
On a side note- as frequently as I disagree with Ron Chusid on his liberal values website. He had a story that just cracked me up today. It said a group was going to study possible differences between men in their 20s who looked at porn regularly and same age men who didn’t look at porn at all. The study was aborted when they couldn’t find any men who didn’t watch porn.
@Mike 300 spartans, LMFAO Mike!!!
Looks like this week two teams will be going to 12-0
The gun total liberal is on fire.. I can see the smoke rising.. Gat-damn man, this week we are EXACT on every game.. not a game different…

@lduthecoach, Hey Coach… we’re BOTH “geniuses” then ! ! !
8 & 3 going into the late games. Not too shabby. You must have been sweatin’ bullets with the Saints game.
And the GAWDANPHUCKINRAIDERS! managed to pull one off.
Glad I didn’t see the Vikes game. Spent the day at a fencing tournament. Son qualified for the Junior Olympics in Feb.
@rjbrash, Hot damn! Thats great!
@Joe Lovell,
Thanks Joe. And what’s with the Raiders?!? Heilige scheisse!
@rjbrash, Looks like they treat the season the way they used to treat games. Remember? About the end of the third quarter, getting the crap beat out of them, they would kind of yawn and blink there on the sidelines. Rub the sleep out of their eyes. One would look around, nudge another one and say “Hey! It’s Sunday! We should start playing!” (looks at score board) “Ah,hell, only down by two touchdowns and a field goal, piece of cake.” And then proceed to kick the crap out of the other team.
Well, they seem to be doing that with the season now. “Hey! It’s December! Crap! Most of the season is gone, I thought it was still pre-season! We better get moving!”
