Shaggy's Picks - Week Five

Ah, Monday morning in Roswell.  I have the day off for some hillbilly holiday called “Fair Day.”  What kind of deranged psychopath decided to host the state fair in Roswell?  Whatever.  I have to thank the evil genius for at least giving me the day off.  Apparently it’s so we can go watch the parade.  Which is an intimidating idea in itself.  I’m sure it’ll consist of two floats.  The first full of drunken rednecks shooting road signs immediately followed by one with a bunch of Mexicans in mariachi garb singing “Started from the border, now we’re here.”  Oops.  Was I the first the guest blog writer to cross the P.C. line? 

Can I get a Timber?  Are we still doing that?  I kind of feel like I got stuck in some weird pre-internet time warp.  Or maybe Roswell never accepted the fact that Al Gore invented the internet.  I’m being cereal guys (in honor of the start of the 17th season, I had to sneak in a South Park reference).  My mobile data is out for the month so to figure out was going on I had to run over to campus on commercial breaks or attempt to keep a running tab on a napkin at Farley’s, which was heavily infested with flies and Cowboy fans.  To my more gentle readers, I’m sorry to inform you they are NOT the same thing.  Both are persistently annoying though. 

6-3 this week.  23-16.  I really gotta stop picking the Monday night games.  I tried my best to forget that debacle last Monday and had to look back to figure out my record. 
Recap:
Only the Raiders can go 14-0 AT HOME against an 0-3 team and still manage to lose 24-14. 
I’m gonna cut the rest of this short cause I HAVE to see this parade.  I just hope it’s everything I’ve built it up to be.
I was right on 49ers > Rams, Lions > Bears, Hawks > Texans, Cards > Bucs, Broncos > Eagles and the KOOL AID MAN. BELIEVE IN HIM. Chiefs > Giants.
Swung and missed on Browns > Bengals and Falcons > Pats.  And the Raider game.
And I’ve got the Saints > Dolphins tonight.  Pretty confident in that one.  I don’t think the fins are for real.

Shaggy’s Picks:
  • Thursday night the Browns get the win over the Bills
  • Taking the Saints on the road over the Bears
  • Two really bad teams here. Rams over Jags.
  • I know I just said the Fins aren’t for real but they’ll beat the Ravens
  • As good as Detroit looks, the Packers get the home win
  • Two sophomore QBs, I got Seattle with a second straight road win
  • Panthers come off their bye to beat the Cards
  • 9ers win at home against the Texans
  • I need two more and the rest of the games look real easy.  I think I’m gonna take K.C. > TEN and S.D. > OAK
