Pickin' & Grinnin' Week Nine

Been saying it all week..

This is a game Philly SHOULD win. They are playing an evenly matched team they know well @ home. It is certainly true that Dallas COULD win. They have the offensive fire power, improving defensive play and superior special teams. But, on the road they OUGHT TO be expected to lose this game. Plus..think of how great it would be to crucify Raf for not believe in his beloved Cowboys..IF they win…

I’m hoping the Cowboys solve this issue for me and I don’t have to write another “The Sky Isn’t Falling” type post on Monday like I did after the Giants game..but this game means more to Philly than it does to Dallas.

Philadelphia is expected to win this game…lets just hope expectations are wrong..

My prediction… 34 -30 Dallas.. Pass rush and Special teams come up with big plays that turn the tide…

seeing as how each of you has picked 4 more games than have actually been played this season :-)

But WHERE ARE MY CHEERLEADERS???

Been following raf too long. I always like when the tough games come and raf picks the other team. It almost assures us a victory. Now, had he picked the boys I would be upset with him for jinxing us.

Here’s to you RAF, thanks for cementing the win for the boys!!!

Now one of them is a traitor? Man, tough crowd. BTW, the EAGLES?? The only thing worse would be picking the Redskunks to beat the Cowboys.

All seriousnous aside, (not a grammatical mistake) well, most seriousness anyway, I’m hoping the Cowboys take it to the level of supreme payback tonight. Now….ALL seriousness aside:

Cards
Bengals
Pack
Colts
Jags
Pats (although the fish are playing seriously physical football)
Falcons
Saints
Hawks
Jersey
9ers (Damn I hate picking them)
Cowboys (my pick from the heart last week was the Falcons. Made me 9-4)
Broncos

It’s still early enough in the season to keep picking with the heart.

For shame.

The Panthers have quietly crept back to 3-4. As long as Delhomme doesn’t throw 15 picks, I wouldn’t be shocked if they totally debacled the New Orleans Bagheads undefeated season. They can run the hell out of the ball and somebody finally persuaded Julius Peppers to play like a guy that is getting paid 16 million a year.

Don’t know why exactly, ya’ll are way more into the technical aspects, but I just think that our o-line is gonna protect Tony today. Plus, I think all the hype that the football experts are giving that Peters guy on their o-line is well, a little overblown when you think about our DWARE being the man against him today. We will rattle McNabb, he’s just not the same guy he used to be I don’t care what anybody says.

And I still can’t get over them losin to the Raiders. I mean c’mon fellas, that could be compared I guess to us almost losin to the Chiefs, but the key word is almost, which just really does count in my book even as much as the goofs in TV land want to downplay that fact.

THE EAGLES LOST TO THE RAIDERS. Surely, I tell thee, then so can they lose to the DALLAS FREAKIN COWBOYS!!!

Falcons over Redskins
Cardinals over Bears
Bengals over Ravens
Colts over Texans
Patriots over Dolphins
Packers over Bucs
Jaguars over Chiefs
Saints over Panthers
Seahawks over Lions
49ers over Titans
Chargers over Giants
Cowboys over Eagles
Broncos over Steelers

What’s up in Philthy?

When asked who was gonna win the sb, he answered “how bout them cowboys” They asked him does he wish he could have stayed with the cowboys to win 3 superbowls? he says he doesn’t look in the past that he looks to the future, and he was asked if he would coach the cowboys again, and he said next question

Last week, I was critical of you guys for lame picks. However, I applaud the fact the Raf picked the Iggles to win. That shows that the picks made are honest genuine. I hope your wrong but I understand your judgment. Cowboys by 1pt on the final drive by a fg. 41-40.

almost as bad as Mark May.

“never go against the family”

I predict tonight’s game will go down like the ‘06 Week 5 Cowboys/Eagles game; (Pat Watkins’ asshairs that got singed that fateful day still haven’t grown back.) Except it will be 38-24, Cowboys; thanks to a closing minute McNabb pick in the red zone that Mike Jenkins takes 103 yards back to the house.

As for the rest of the slate:
Redskins over Falcons
Cardinals over Bears
Bengals over Ravens
Texans over Colts
Patsies over Dolphins
Cheeseheads over Pastel Bruces
Jags over Chiefs
Seahawks over Lions
9ers over Titans
Chargers over Piss-Ants
Panthers over Saints
Steelers over Broncos

 the O & Ds are pretty even. A bouncing ball or a penalty could prove to ‘make’ a difference between them. But in the kicking game, I think we’ll maintain better field positon with Beuler’s KOs and McBriar’s booming punts, coupled with much improved coverage units. Feagles seems hot & cold with his punts these days. If he’s cold the Eagles could be in deep dodo. Folk is money. So Cowboys 35, Eagles 21.

I want a win with the Cowboys coming out of it injury-free!
