NFL Football - Week 13 (12/04/05)

[Aristotle]

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh: Maybe the biggest game this week- at least for the AFC. 1PM on CBS (should be in HD). I might actually watch this one. The loser of this game could easily head into a potential season destroying tailspin.

Tennessee at Indianapolis: Should be an easy one for the Colts, but once you are 11-0, the jackass 1972 Dolphin Hate Squad starts to rear their head, and every game can be tough. Also 1pm on CBS. I wonder which game I'll get.

Dallas at NY Giants: HUGE game for the NFC and in particular the NFC East. The Giants really need this game or else Dallas goes 2-0 on them and has a huge tiebreaker over them. 1pm on FOX (not HD here ).

Atlanta at Carolina: I hope Atlanta loses. I am so sick of the Atlanta jerk fest and in particular the undue worship of Vick.

Denver at Kansas City: Man, another huge divisional game. Late game on CBS. I hope I get this one.

This is a huge week for the NFL.

The Sports Guy - Week 13 picks

COLTS (-15.5) over Titans
Can we all stop with the "Plummer for MVP" crap? His coach wouldn't even trust him to throw the ball on third down with two minutes left in a tie game last week. Come on. Manning is the MVP this year. Even I admit it. He's been awesome to watch these last few weeks. Just awesome. I will now intentionally trip and hit my head on the side of a coffee table.

CHARGERS (-11.5) over Raiders
The Norv Turner Second-Half Collapse Checklist ...

• Guys arguing on the sidelines? (CHECK)

EAGLES (+4) over Seahawks
Here's my theory: Over the summer, I think Mike Holmgren pulled an Earl Hickey, made a list of everyone he ever crossed, somehow atoned for all those sins, reversed his karma, and now he's winning football games when the other team's kicker misses three game-winning field goals in a 30-minute span. It's the only thing that makes sense. But on Monday night, he's going to be looking across the field at a fat guy with a red mustache, almost like looking into a mirror ... and it's gonna throw that karma off. Just for one week.
