The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.
An outfit called CollegeScholarships.org is having a contest to give a deserving collegiate blogger a $10,000 scholarship. Matthew Burden, who runs Blackfive, is one of the finalists.
Please, go here and vote for him. Voting runs until 2 am CDT 10/29/2007, but you can only vote once (legitimately, that is; I do not want to hear about you voting multiple times).
I’m 14 games under .500 (28-42-6) and further from break-even against the spread, but since I’m 9-0-1 against the over/unders, and I found the new home of Bodog (degenerates, bookmark it), let’s roll on through Wea…er, Week 6.
Washington (+3) @ Green Bay – Bad news; it’s raining. Worse news; it’s not snow.
Minnesota @ Chicago (-5.5) – The rookie wall hits early and often. Go under the 37.
Cincinnati (-3) @ Kansas City – Resistable force, meet movable object.
Houston @ Jacksonville (-7) – I’m oh-so-tempted to jump on the over/under, but 37 is a wee bit low.
Miami @ Cleveland (-4.5) – Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead, and so are the Deadfins.
Philadelphia (-4) @ NY Jets – Stat of the week for the game of the weak – the Eaglets are 8-0 after a bye under Andy Reid.
St. Louis @ Baltimore (-9) – The last time Duh Lambs started 0-6, Kennedy was still President.
Tennessee (+3) @ Tampa Bay – You may want the points, but thanks to a MASH unit giving them, you won’t need them.
Carolina @ Arizona (-6) – Warner ain’t done yet (that’s next week), while I have a rational hatred of Vinnie Testaverte.
New England @ Dallas (+6.5) – This is your preview to the 42nd edition of the Game That Cannot Be Named Because Of The No Fun League. As such, take the over-53.
Oakland @ San Diego (-10) – The band is back together, and even NOOOO!!!!! Turner can’t fuck it up.
New Orleans @ Seattle (-6.5) – Odds of Reggie Bush making it out of Seattle healthy – 2-3. Go against it.
NY Giants (-3.5) @ Atlanta – Over/under on G-men sacks – 7.5. Go over.
Knock Knees Tony found me, and in lieu of destroying my knuckles, he’s making me recap the month from Hell and give you the rest of the year for free:
Week 2 (5-11 ATS, 2-0 O/U)
Green Bay 35 @ NY Giants (-2.5) – I got my solace on game-day instead.
Buffalo 3 @ Pittsburgh 26 (-10) – Stat of the day – third/fourth-down efficiency – Pittsburgh 11-16, Buffalo 5-16.
Cincinnati 45 (-7.5) @ Cleveland 51 – The name is Neo.
Indianapolis 22 (-7.5-LOSS) @ Tennessee 20 – Fluke? Guess not. 141 yards on 34 carries isn’t flukish.
Houston 34 (+7) @ Carolina 21 – Ahman Green lasted just long enough.
San Francisco 17 (+3) @ St. Louis 16 – I can’t say enough about Frank “Don’t call me Al” Gore.

Minnesota 17 (-3.5) @ Detroit 20 – Damned OT.
Kansas City 10 @ Chicago 20 (-13-LOSS) – If you can dodge a lead pipe, you can dodge a ball – THUNK! At least I told you to take the under

Seattle 20 (-3) @ Arizona 23 – I told you to take Leinart to not finish the game.
NY Jets 13 @ Baltimore 20 (-10-LOSS) – Now, I’m the one with no arms.

Washington 20 @ Philadelphia 12 (-7) – No oil for McNabb or me.
Week 3 (6-7-3 ATS, 2-0 O/U)
San Diego 24 @ Green Bay 31 (+6.5) – And I ain’t broke.

San Francisco 16 (+10) @ Pittsburgh 37 – Only one of those defenses showed up, and boy did they show up.
Arizona 23 @ Baltimore 26 (-7.5-LOSS) – Had the OldBrowns defense scored, I would have been happy. Instead, it’s mac and cheese.
St. Louis 3 @ Tampa Bay 24 (-3.5) – SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP!
Jacksonville 23 @ Denver 14 (-3.5) – It wasn’t sooner.
Cincinnati 21 @ Seattle 24 (-3-TIE) – The house is just loving all these pushes.

Carolina 27 (-4.5) @ Atlanta 20 – The only thing Joanie didn’t do right was win.
NY Giants 24 @ Washington 17 (-4) – How bad is my nose-picking? Does the fact that I took Duh Deadskins tell you anything?
Dallas 34 @ Chicago 10 (-3) – 3, 3.5, it didn’t matter. It was another GROSSman performance.
Tennessee 31 (+4) @ New Orleans 14 – Repeating, back to the Aints.
Week 4 (5-9 ATS, 1-0-1 O/U)
Green Bay 23 @ Minnesota 16 (+3) – I should’ve given the points.
Chicago 27 @ Detroit 37 (+3) – We didn’t need them.
Oakland 35 @ Miami 17 (-4) – Culpepper just won, baby. That sucks.
Houston 16 (-3) @ Atlanta 26 – The NFL ain’t that topsy-turvy.

Philadelphia 3 (-3) @ NY Giants 16 – Down goes McNabb! Down goes McNabb!
New England 34 @ Cincinnati 13 (+8) – Knees, meet lead pipe. Lead pipe, meet knees. Egg, meet X-ray machine.

Miami 19 @ Houston 22 (-6-LOSS) – You know you’re in trouble when your starting RB is Ron Dayne.
Seattle 0 (+6.5) @ Pittsburgh 21 – Najeh the Crapper got 2 TDs? What’s going on out there? At least there wasn’t enough scoring to threaten the under call.
Cleveland 17 @ New England 34 (-17-TIE) – The machines have called a truce.
Arizona 34 (-4-LOSS) @ St. Louis 31 – Make it one QB left in the desert.
New York Jets 24 "@" New York Giants 35 (-4) – Dead men tell no lies.
