Evil’s Picks
When you’re the 4-0 Arizona Cardinals, there’s nothing like stopping by St. Louis so they can remind you that you’re still the Arizona Cardinals, and you are not going to the playoffs.

There aren’t any good bets this week, however the economy must be looking up because the Vegas lines in a lot of these games are pretty far off from the computer prediction.
The “real” refs didn’t play as flat as I thought they would but there was at least one unbelievably bad call that was still bad even after the review. Eagles’ DeSean Jackson did not make a three handed catch. That third hand was dirt and I’m pretty sure you can’t use it to help you catch the ball.
E.W.
I blame the out of practice “real” refs for everything that went wrong in my predictions for last week.
