Last week sucked, although it probably sucked more for the teams who let me down. For instance, in Smokedland, Kansas City really came though. They scored an extra TD over my prediction. Apparently Smokedland’s offense missed the plane. Or, in this case, maybe they fell out of the plane.
Indianapolis had a major relapse, despite the seemingly successful operation earlier in the season to remove the team’s heads from their asses. In an embarrassing and extremely painful reverse operation, reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition, The Saints put Indianapolis’ heads right back, helmet and all. Payton didn’t sit in the booth cause his leg hurt, he just didn’t want to get any blood on his suit. They say no one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition, but I bet St. Louis does…
Here’s my take this week:

There are no good bets this week.
E.W.
I was sure glad I didn’t live in Smokedland. I was expecting riots. Maybe there were but all of them failed to score…
