Leggie, Big Week 6

4. I’m going with the KC Cheifs over the Bungels turned Bengals turned back to bungles. Let’s face it, the Bengals are a mess. The eerily resemble the Vikes of 2005. The myriad incarcerations are their love-boat and the things that used to be cute, like Ocho Cincos Td celebrations aren’t anymore, sort of like Duantes fist roll. The truth is, when you lose, things are bad. Expect three things from this game: 1) Marvin Lewis or Herm Edwards will give us a great soundbite after losing. 2) Carson Palmer will be one more game into wasting a promising career in Cincinatti (seriously, put this guy in a major market and he’s Jesus). And 3) The combination of those jersey colors will be nothing short of unwatchable. Cheifs will take it at home by 10!!!

3. Staying in the AFC west and with duante Culpepper, I’ll take the Bolt over captian tiny digits. Let’s face it, all the “charger are in trouble talk” was painfully premature. This division is really bad and if the Charger win they will have at least a share of first place. Plus, Antonio Gates wears a fanny pack. Don’t think an Raiders can say that. So San Deigo, lift your Avacado wraps high, the Bolts are ready to go on a run. Chargers by 16!!!

2. I love the Eagles over the JETS for some strange reason!!! I figure out who Chad Pennington remind me of this year. He’s the YMCA pick up basketball scrub. He’s the middle aged guy, shorts are from 1987, comes into the gym and calls “next game” really loud. Then he proceeds to play like he’s got a wedge in his pants, but plays pretty poorly, but then always makes his freethrows to make it into the next game. We all know the guy. Well, I’m confident in the Eagles coming off a bye week. Ugglies by 6!!

1. Lastly, Folks, it’s happening for the first time this year. I’m taking the Vikes over the Bears in Soldier. Am I crazy, you bet I am!!!! But here’s the rationale: I expect the Vikes to win up front with Chester and Adrian. The Vikes have historically run very well against the Bears. Also, I expect history to repeat itself. The most memorable game of Childress’ head coaching tenure was last year in Seattle. All phases were working well and the Vikes beat the Seahawks in a hostile environement. What’s the connection? That was after a bye week, just like this year. Childress comes from the Andy Reid system, a coach who is notorious for winning games after bye weeks. So in the end, it defies all logic, but I’ll take the Vikes by 6!!!
