Week 11 - It's time to get ill!

For no reason other than me hearing one of their songs this evening, we will pay tribute to the Beastie Boys this week, by saying, it's time to get ill!

Manwich Matchup of the Week
Dallas @ Washington - Uh-oh... it's revenge time for the Cowboys. Romo will be back and has to start winning games if the Cowboys even intend on making the playoffs. Let Brad Johnson go back to planning his retirement.
Pick: Dallas

Upset of the Week
Chicago @ Green Bay - The Bears are probably the most amazing 5-4 team, considering they've fallen just short so many times.
Pick: Chicago

Jets @ New England - Eesh... i guess i'll go w/ my gut instinct which tells me that after winning a game by 44 points last week, the Jets will be overconfident, and will be exposed for who we thought they were - a bunch of Manginas.
Pick: New England

Denver @ Atlanta - I keep doubting the Falcons and yet they keep winning. Rookie Matt Ryan has a QB rating of 89.9. It seems like the time has come to hop on the bandwagon.
Pick: Atlanta

Oakland @ Miami - Where's Daunte Culpepper? In Detroit that's where.
Pick: Miami

Baltimore @ Giants - I hope the Giants expose the Ravens for the piece of sh*t team that they are. No, i don't have an axe to grind. I miss the hapless days of Cobra Commander.
Pick: Giants.

Houston @ Indy - The Colts keep edging teams out. At some point, there luck will run out. We'll push it for one more week.
Pick: Indy

Tenny @ Jack-o - The Titans will win this game too. The Jaguars may have beaten the Lions, but that doesn't take much.
Pick: Tenny

Philly @ Cincy - The Eagles need to start winning games quickly. 5-4 is not acceptable.
Pick: Philly

New Orleans @ KC - I've been wrong about the Saints so many times, and yet, I can't stop picking them. Finally, I've had enough. The Chiefs deserve to win a game too, after losing the last 3 games by a combined 8 points.
Pick: KC

Detroit @ CAR - Daunte Culpepper needs more than a few days to learn the playbook. It still shouldn't matter this week.
Pick: CAR

Minny @ Tampa - I don't know what to make of this matchup. To be honest, both of these teams have been complete enigmas in my mind. Adrian Peterson is good, but he can't win the game each week for the Vikings.
Pick: Tampa

St. Louis @ San Fran - I just looked at San Fran's schedule and after this game, they play: Dallas, Buffalo, Jets, Miami, and then St. Louis. San Fran could be on an 11-game losing streak next time they meet St. Louis if they don't win this game. They have to. Otherwise Mike Singletary might take his pants off... again.
Pick: San Fran

Arizona @ Seattle - Nobody beats the Whiz in the NFC West!
Pick: Arizona

San Diego @ Pitt - Hey McFly! What's wrong with the Chargers??? They are 4-5, but are luckily only one game back in the stinky AFC West. They only have 1 road win all season, but I think it's time they changed that!
Pick: San Diego

Cleveland @ Buffalo - It's Monday Night Football! It's time for me to make it part of the public record what is wrong with coach Romeo Crennel: he has no balls. He has no backbone. Only when backed into a corner this year, against the Giants, did he allow the team to blitz with reckless abandon. And you know what? The secondary is so bad, you mine as well blitz 75% of the time because it at least gives you a chance, because when you drop 6 or 7 players every down, someone (e.g. Jay Cutler) will pick you apart. While the defense is the latest problem for the Browns, the other thing that really irks me is Romeo's REFUSAL to give RB Jerome Harrison (who is really fast, like a poor man's Reggie Bush) 10 touches every game. No one outside of Cleveland knows who this guy is, so let me present his statistics:
2007 - 23 carries, 6.2 yards per carry.
2008 - 17 carries, 7.5 yards per carry. 6 catches, 13.7 yards per catch.
Whenever he's in the game, he makes things happen. All I know is he should get 10 touches every game, mixed in with Jamal Lewis. Why can't he play more?
I'll tell you why. It's not because the defensive players quit...it's because Romeo Crennel quit. He quit using his brain, started crying, and gave up. On offense and defense. Period.
Pick: Buffalo

Last Week: 8-6 (i suck)
Season: 81-63
Manwich: 5-5 (The Eagle fell short against the Giants)
Upset of the Week: 1-9 (Picking the Lions was probably not smart)
