Click images for desktop size: "Punk Cannibal" by Evegny Freeone I picked up my bike today.
It pleased me. The battery is recharging now.
Suddenly running to the store to pick up a quart of milk isn't such an undertaking!
I have to be careful to give the dogs the same amount of walks. I need the exercise and so do they. Since its just an electric bike I can't take them with me everywhere. That's a shame . We like going everywhere and my puppy still gets upset when I'm not around.
She'll get over that.

As I mentioned yesterday, my picks were perfect last week, except on the tie breaker. The tie breaker was the final score of the New England Washington game. The actual score was 52-7. The winner guessed 55-17 which was better than my 38-7 guess.
There's still this week and it has the game of the year, which almost makes up for the rather tepid remainder of the schedule.
My picks are in Bold.

Arizona at Tampa Bay - Jeff Garcia was off last week and not terrible. He has a good history of rebounding. The Buc's defense is banged up but not as badly as the entire Cardinal team. I'm picking the Buc's defense at home.

Carolina at Tennessee - With the banged up David Carr as the healthiest of the 3 QB's he gets the sad duty of having to get beat up even more. The Panthers are falling apart while the Titans are learning to believe in themselves.

Cincinnati at Buffalo - the Bills have been playing better and better ball but they still don't have enough offense to exploit the shambolic Bengals excuse for a D. On the other side of the ball the Bengals have so much fire power, too much to be losing too consistently.

Denver at Detroit - I like the Lions. I like that Jon Kitna created an uproar on Halloween. His wife dressed up as a fast food waitress and he wore a naked guy suit. This makes reference to the Detroit coach who got busted and fired by driving up to a fast food drive up window stark naked. I like a good QB who is loose enough to have bad taste and a wife who'll support him in it. Those how champions are forged. Denver has to be reeling from the way Favre thumped them in OT on Monday night. I can't see this one being that close.

Green Bay at Kansas City - Its real tempting here to take the Chiefs. They're beginning to play some solid football and they have a few weapons. But Brett Favre is the ultimate gunslinger and when he's "number one in your hearts and number one in the NFC Central" you'd be a harder man than I to pick against a fairy tale.

Jacksonville at New Orleans - This is a sort of nutzy pick. The Saints spent last weekend beating up one of the most miserable teams I've ever seen while the Jaguars were getting manhandled by one of the best. Somehow that seems to make them look almost dead equal. The answer will be shown in the first quarter. The Saints need an early lead to make the offense less predictable. They need to keep some sustained drives going to keep the defense on the bench. If they go 3 and out too many times the Jaguars will wear them out completely.

San Diego at Minnesota - My blow out of the week. The Chargers are a better fit for the Metrodome than the Vikings. The Vikings QB is a mystery to me. I've not seen any level of play from him that makes me think he can win. But LaDanian Tomlinson can.

San Francisco at Atlanta - While the Game of the Year is being played here's the cruddy game of the year! Both teams are just terrible. Atlanta has shown the most desire to improve and forget a turbulent season while the 49er;s, like all cruddy teams, actually think they are just a few plays of winning!

Washington at New York Jets - The Redskins got drubbed last week, They get to see a brand new shiny Jets QB. They'll ding him up plenty.
Seattle at Cleveland - I'm surprised the Browns are such heavy favorites. Seattle has been playing in a fashionable cruddy style and the Browns have been improving. But the Seahawks want to go the playoffs while the Browns want to stop being a laughingstock. Both pretty motivating factors. Since this is the pros I'm taking the greedy guys over the sympathetic ones.

Houston at Oakland - the Texans are banged up and going with a damaged Matt Schuab at QB. Schuab hasn't looked great since the opening weeks. No they know how to defend him. The Raiders keep looking better and better.

New England at Indianapolis - You've heard all the hype now watch the game. I'm picking New England, but really, who cares who wins as long as its a burner. Best game until the playoffs!

Baltimore at Pittsburgh - I want to pick the Ravens, I mean I adore McNair and he's back! But the Steelers have too many weapons.

Dallas at Philadelphia - This is a common sense pick. I want to take the Eagles and the Coach who encourages drug addiction!

These are just my picks in a free on-line internet package and while I am in the top 4% for the season you'd be likely to buy tickets to the San Francisco Atlanta game if you used them for any purpose other than having a good laugh at my expense.
