I snatch it out the air...

For the end of the season super-post I am about to do instead of college applications I have the best quote of the year. Antonio Bryant straight up talking like a deep south 1860's man. Before we go into the picks I am going to do a quick awards thing.
MVP: LT. I mean come in he set hella records and he's so classy doing it. Runner-Ups: Drew Brees and Frank Gore.
Offensive Player of the Year: LT. See above.
Defensive Player of the Year: Jason Taylor. He single handedly won the Dolphins a number of games with his outstanding play, including beating the then-undefeated Bears. Runners up: Champ Bailey, Brian Urlacher
Offensive ROY: A lot of good choices but in my book its gotta be Vince Young. He simply won games that not many other guys in the league would have won in his position. He's been absolutely incredible, and i'll go so far to say one of the best 5 quarterbacks in the last month or so. Runners Up: Marques Colston, Reggie Bush, Maurice Jones-Drew, Reggie McNeill
Defensive ROY: I would give this to Devin Hester, but really he's a special teams guy so its gotta be Demeco Ryans. An absolute beast at LB leading the league (I believe) in solo tackles.
Comeback: This is what Drew Brees gets. An amazing recovery from shoulder surgery.
Surprise of the season: For me the biggest surprise has been the lights-out play of Vince Young. I never thought he would get the chance to play this year, and if he did I thought he would be mediocre. This surprise could actually include all rookie qb's in general because I have been surprised by the play of Matt Leinart and Jay Cutler as well.
Bust of the Year: I hate doing this to myself but I gotta say the New York Giants. Here was a team that was thinking Super Bowl before the year started and now they don't deserve (and in a way I don't want them) to make the playoffs. That way Coughlin will be fired and we will sign Charlie Weis, who's name has started to come up hella much.
Alright back to the picks. Last week I went 6-10 to bring me to 30-34 with one real week left in the year, so now its time to get hot and get over 500. Yea! Against the spread I went 7-9 bringing me to 28-36. Bad. Next year when I can actually bet i'll do better. I promise. Well let's get to the picks. They might be a little funny in some areas especially with teams having already clinched. Onwards!!!

Saturday 5:00 PM
Giants at Redskins
I need to vent a little on the Giants. Never before has a Giants team been this talented in my lifetime. Also, never before has a Giants team been this embaressing. Straight up. Every fucking day I turn on Sportscenter and its Giants bullshit after Giants bullshit. Coughlin was brought in to get rid of bullshit and was supposed to discipline the team. Instead, last week we had three intentional roughness penalties, two by the same guy for headbutting (which he has already got flagged for earlier in the year) and bullshit all the time. Eli has regressed big time. 9-25. I mean come on. And injuries were supposed to be a mental thing Coughlin was going to get rid. Instead, we might back in as a wild card and will probably get smoked in the playoffs. Cool. Let's start saving money to bring in Charlie Weis. From all the bullshit New York Press I have read he really wants to come to NY and the Giants are willing to buyout his contract. Onto this week game. The giants are playing for a wild cart spot essentially and the Skins have nothing to play for so the Giants should win this game. But I don't think they will. Tiki should get 30 carries this game as he has nothing left to play for after this. But he'll probably rush some 15-18 times. Keep in mind i got the Reggie Bush stuff right last week. I know the Giants, they'll be stupid this game.
Prediction: Redskins, Skins +3

Sunday 10:00 AM
Carolina at New Orleans
Two teams with something to prove. With a win, the Panthers may make the playoffs if the Giants and Packers both lose, something very possible. The Panthers are coming off a win against the Falcons last week and should be feeling good about themselves. Meanwhile, the Saints have clinched everything they can, and have a first round bye. The Saints shouldn't play Drew Brees in my opinion, and limit the touches of Deuce, Marques, and Reggie. I think that John Fox will have the Panthers ready to play and will have his boys fired up.
Prediction: Panthers, Panthers (no line as of yet)

Cleveland at Houston
The only really barfy matchup of this week and let's be honest, its really fucking barfy. The Browns got beaten at home by the Bucs last week, while the Texans beat a reeling Colts team. I like the Texans in this game, and I think that they are on their way to being a decent team. David Carr is not a bad QB, Andre Johnson is a good receiver, and they are young. All they need is a decent RB and they could be a surprise next year. Unfortunately for them they play in what could be the toughest division: Colts, Titans, and Jags.
Prediction: Texans, -4

Detroit at Dallas
Would be a pretty boring game if it wasn't for the cowboys freak out this week. I mean they should take a deep breath. They haven't been that bad. Calm the fuck down. TO i don't like you. Terry Glenn on the other hand I like and have some respect for but he needs to calm down as well. This is a team in my mind built for the playoffs. They have two guys who can run the ball, a mean defense, and one of the best coaches in history. The Lions on the other hand are something really sorry. When your fans are having walk-outs out of the stadium something is really wrong. They have to fire Mike Millen and continue to rebuild. They have some talent at some positions and in my book could do some damage next year with some good coaching and a better game manager at QB.
Prediction: Dallas, Dallas -13 (big fucking spread)

Jacksonville at Kansas City
This is the silly matchup this week. Jacksonville makes the playoff if they win and the Jets, Titans, and Bengals all lose, so eh. Kansas City makes the playoff with a win and a Cincy, Titan, and Bronco loss so eh as well. As a team, I'm a big Jags fans, but their inconsistency has hurt them all year. I mean if they had beat the Pats they would be in great shape, but they play an eh game. KC is just unlucky cause their in the AFC. In the NFC they would be a playoff team without any doubt. I like KC at home in December, you know Arrowhead is gonna be loud and crazy. I can't see Garrard winning their, but with their inconsistency i wouldn't be surprised if they came in and won by 2 touchdowns.
Prediction: KC, no line so KC

New England at Tennesse
A really interesting game. I hope its televised. NE has won the East and will play at home in the playoffs. Watch out for NE in the playoffs. They were my Super Bowl pick and I am sticking with them. Tennessee on the other hand has Vince Young. Enough said. He wins game, and I believe I have picked everysingle one of his games wrong. Not this week. Here I got the Titans. Titans clinch with a win, Cincy loss, Denver loss and KC win. Not likely but reasonable. I don't know if by my picks they will make it. At the end of the article I will do my playoff teams.
Prediction: Titans, VY -3

Oakland at the NY Jets
If this was any other team but the Raiders I would pick them. But since its the Raiders, I pick the Jets hesitantly. Last week I thought they would get upset by the Fins and was wrong, and this week I still have a bad feeling about them. But the raiders are so bad that they have to win right? Right? I am almost sure that one of the two teams in control of their destiny will lose. Will the Jets win? Yes they win. But they do not cover, and they scare their fans for a little while.
Prediction: Jets, Raiders +13

Pittsburgh at Cincinnati
Last year, this was the big rivalry in the NFL. This year not so much. The Bengals have lost two straight, and I love the Steelers playing the role of spoiler. I thought they would win last week, but picked B-More correctly. I have done well with the Steelers. I think my luck will continue this week. The Bengals make the playoffs with a win and jets loss (not happening) or a win and Denver loss and KC win (not happening cause their gonna lose).
Prediction: Pittsburgh, Steelers +6

Seattle at Tampa Bay
The most pathetic playoff team in my book is the Seahawks. They have lost 3 straight. If they lose this week they should not be allowed to in the playoffs. They should just be kicked out. That being said, I wouldn't want to play in Seattle in the playoffs. Too bad the Niners or Rams could not pull it out. TB beat the Browns last week. Yay! They are also starting Tim Rattay at QB. I pick Seattle reluctantly. I also want to make it clear that I cannot stand Matt Hasselback. O-Ver-Rated.
Prediction: Seattle, +3 1/2 (how are they underdogs)

St. Louis at Minnesota
The Rams make the playoffs if they win and the Giants, Panthers, and Falcons all lose. They will get two out of 4, as I expect them to lose and as said before the Panthers will win. I have nothing to really say about this game. The Vikes have great run D and Defensively they are solid, which is why I am picking them. I also think Brad Childress has done a decent job coaching them. I like Tavaris to bust out with a money game this week too as he cements the starting QB job for next year.
Prediction: Vikes, Vikes +3

Sunday 4:15
Arizona at San Diego
A confusing little matchup. SD has nothing to play for. I picked incorrectly against them for that reason two weeks in a row. Arizona beat the Niners and have shown they might be a decent team. This week I like the Bolts. They are just hot right now. That doesn't mean that Marty won't blow a game like I said last week, it just means he's gonna do it in the playoffs.
Prediction: Bolts, Cards +13 1/2

Atlanta at Philly
Philly wins the NFC East with a win, whole the Falc's make the playoffs with a win and the panthers, packers, and giants all losing. Too bad I don't see them winning. If Jeff Garcia had come in a little earlier and balled like this all year, he's my comeback player of the year. But he came in just a little too late. You gotta love the way he's playing right now, and I am glad that they will win the East instead of the Boys. Fuck the Cowboys. Here, we also run into our second coach who will definately be fired this offseason after TC. Jim Mora is as good as gone. Blank obviously hates him, and to be honest I think this is a team that should have made the playoffs. I think he would make a great college coach (I mean this in a good way).
Prediction: Eagles, eagles -8

Buffalo at Baltimore
Buffalo is out and the Ravens can clinch with a win or an Indy loss. I think they win, but if I'm them I'm not playing Steve McNair cause he will mess himself up just to win this game. That means something in the playoffs but not in week 17 when you have already clinched. I like the Bills next year, JP has stepped up, Willis McGahee is a good runner, and defensively they play hard. I would have picked them if Baltimore had nothing to play for, but with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed knowing a playoff bye could be thiers, B-More wins a defensive ball game. On a seperate note, after watching the Wire I am convinced that every guy on the Ravens would fit perfectly on the show: Ray Lewis has killed someone, Jamal Lewis was busted setting up a drug deal, Adalius Thomas has a big scar on his face like Omar, McNair is like the boxing dude. I mean they fit the Wire Baltimore perfectly.
Prediction: Ravens, Bills +9 1/2

Miami at Indy
I am so fucking tempted to take the Fish but Indy is on the turf and should win. Enough said. I am getting kind of tired so I am not doing much for this game. Sorry. However, Cleo Lemon might be one of the best names in football history, this is what an old Caribbean voodoo person should be named. Oh wait.
Prediction: Indy, Colts -9

San Francisco at Denver
The Niners in my book have nothing to be ashamed of this year. Let's be honest, talent wise I don't think they are all that great, but they are well coached and have improved big time over last year. The playoffs were never realistic, but the fact that they came close speaks to their heart. Denver on the other hand is in position to make the playoffs. Big upset of the week #1: niners win. I think Nolan is going to have them ready, Frank Gore is gonna run 30 times for 160 and the Niners win. Of course this could be horribly wrong, but I am giving it a shot.
Prediction: Niners, Niners +10 1/2

Sunday 5:15 PM
Green Bay at Chicago
Semi-Big Upset of the week #2. In my book the Bears should throw this game. I want to see Brett Favre in the playoffs one last time. I do think that the Packers win this game, and take home the #6 seed. He should then retire and go out as well as anyone thought possible. The Bears have absolutely nothing to play for, they really should just let Brett in one last time.
Prediction: Packers, Pack +3

AFC 6 teams:1) San Diego 2) B-More 3) Indy 4) New England 5) J-E-T-S 6) I don't believe it but based on my picks: Titans

NFC 6 teams: 1) Chicago 2) N'awlins 3) Philly 4)Seattle 5) Dallas 6) Packers

I'm so sick of applications and college and now I'm so tired from writing this. I'm taking a nap.
