I have some bad news everyone – we’re at the halfway-ish point of the season. It’s amazing how fast football season blows by. I mean, it snowed yesterday. Snow. In October. Have you ever heard anything that outrageous? Snow in October. I am laughing just thinking about it.

So football season… half done. It’s sad to know that we’re a few short, cold winter months away from football being gone again. I think we should all take this opportunity to thank the football Gods (Red Grange, William Floyd, Brady Quinn, etc.) that we had any football at all this season. We are truly blessed.

Tim Tebow’s Video Of The Week

He did it all for you….

Pick’emsplosion
Last week: CRM (4-8-1) — Lisk.(4-8-1)
Overall: CRM (44-49-7) — Lisk (52-43-8)

Indianapolis (+8.5) @Tennessee
CRM - If Chris Johnson were still alive, he’d have a huge game on Sunday. (Titans -8.5)

Lisk – Jim Caldwell will short-circuit and start malfunctioning like Ash from Alien in the second half. (Colts +8.5)

Jacksonville (+10) @ Houston
CRM – Man, that preview I wrote about the Houston Texans finally becoming a playoff team is finally coming to fruition. Two years later. (Texans -10)

Lisk – The Jaguars can turn any game ugly. Good pass defense, bad offense. (Jags +10)

Minnesota (+3.5) @ Carolina
CRM – Let’s hope the rookie quarterback showdown is as sloppy and high scoring as it has the potential to be. (Panthers -3.5)

Lisk - I think I’ve picked Carolina every week against the spread, and Minnesota hasn’t exactly looked great on the road. (Panthers -3.5)

New Orleans (-14) @ St. Louis
CRM – You know, I really don’t think the Saints can beat the Rams as badly as they beat the Colts, but I’d love to see them try. (Saints -14)

Lisk – Teams that are coming off wins of 55 or more usually suffer a letdown the following week. (Rams +14)

Arizona (+13) @ Baltimore
CRM – Are the Ravens good enough to be favored against anyone after last week? Flacco is as bad as their defense is solid. (Cardinals +13)

Lisk – Get Larry the ball! (Cardinals +13)

Miami (+10) @ New York Giants
CRM – I feel bad for the Dolphins because the Colts really set the pace for the race to be the worst last week. (Giants -10)

Lisk – Tony Sparano should be begging the refs to make calls against him so he gets fired and can start enjoying that money without dealing with Reggie Bush and Brandon Marshall. (Dolphins +10)

Washington (+6) @ Buffalo
CRM – Well, now that Tim Hightower is out and John Beck is under center, the Redskins are just going to take off! (Bills -6)

Lisk – Fred Jackson will forget his helmet on the sideline, allowing the Redskins to jump to a lead and get the cover. (Redskins +6)

Detroit (-1.5) @ Denver
CRM – A team with a lot of bad Karma travels to the home of a new savior. It’s just Eric Decker-mania in Denver. (Detroit -1.5)

Lisk – If Ndamukong Suh kills Tim Tebow on Sunday, he’ll cement his reputation as a dirty player. (Denver +1.5)

New England (-3) @ Pittsburgh
CRM – A week without Tom Brady is like a week without the sun. A week without Ben Roethlisberger is a week you can let your daughter go out to the bars in Western Pennsylvania. (Pats -3)

Lisk – The Steelers have only been an underdog at home 5 times in the last decade, going 4-1 ATS. The only non-cover was against New England in the 2004 Championship Game. (Steelers +3)

Cleveland (+9) @ San Francisco
CRM – There should be a zero on this line. Keep the 9 though. (49ers -9)

Lisk – Montario Hardesty has a chance to get to 50 yards if he gets 40 carries in this one. (Browns +9)

Cincinnati (-2.5) @ Seattle
CRM – I don’t want to watch this game. You’re not going to force me to watch it, right? (Seahawks+2.5)

Lisk – I feel like Bob Trumpy and Don Criqui should be calling this game on NBC. It would be more entertaining if it was from 1985. (Seahawks+2.5)

Dallas (+3.5) @ Philadelphia
CRM – Tony Romo versus… Vince Young? Is Michael Vick still alive? I can’t keep track of all the injured quarterbacks in Philadelphia. (Cowboys +3.5)

Lisk – My fantasy team has no one from Philadelphia. I’m not doing it right, Asante. (Cowboys +3.5)

San Diego (-4) @ Kansas City
CRM – Since I’ll be on a plane from Vegas Sunday, this will probably be the only game I get to see in its entirety this week. Here’s to it being fairly competitive. (Chiefs +4)

Lisk – I haven’t shaved in over a week and told my wife I was going as Todd Haley on Monday night. She said I didn’t have the requisite mullet. I might still do it and yell at the people from the driveway while my kids go to the door. (Chiefs +4)
