NFL Pigskin Pigsplosion Preview: All About Green Bay and Pittsburgh-Baltimore
Ahmad Bradshaw plans to play this weekend on a broken foot. It’s tough guy stuff like this that makes a lot of players look like weak little girls. I mean, I wouldn’t blog with a broken foot. Well, unless I was shot up with medication. I guess that wouldn’t be so bad. More pizza rap videos for everyone!
As Bradshaw prepares to play through something I would find agonizing, we should worry about how long its been since some of the premiere quarterbacks have gone down with various injuries. Hold Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford and Michael Vick tight this week.
Packers Video Of The Week
Pick’emsplosion
Last week: CRM (6-6-1) — Lisk.(5-7-1)
Overall: CRM (50-55-8) — Lisk (57-50-9)
Atlanta (-7.5) @ Indianapolis
CRM – The real question is what do the Colts do with Curtis Painter if they draft Andrew Luck? My guess would be “viking funeral.” (Falcons -7.5)
Lisk – This is about the time to start backing winless teams (Indy +7.5)
Tampa Bay (+8.5) @ New Orleans
CRM – Teams that are coming off loses of 10 or more to a previously winless team following a win of 55 or more are usually really fucking hard to predict outcomes for from week to week. (Tampa Bay +8.5)
Lisk – Nerd! (New Orleans -8.5)
Cleveland (+11) @ Houston
CRM -With LeBron gone, it’s not even fun to make fun of Cleveland anymore. Why must Chicago have a bye this week? (Texans -11)
Lisk- The Browns have to be in the running for worst 3-4 team ever (Houston -11)
New York Jets (+2) @ Buffalo
CRM - Good vs. Evil. New Jersey vs. New York. America vs. Canada. There’s a lot at stake here. (Bills -2)
Lisk – Am I the only one smitten with Ryan Fitzpatrick’s perfect facial symmetry? (Jets +2)
Miami (+4) @ Kansas City
CRM -*changes channel* (Chiefs)
Lisk – And miss a matchup of 2 of the 6 best Matt’s playing quarterback today? I think not. (Miami +4)
San Francisco (-4) @ Washington
CRM -I always knew the 49ers would draft a competent quarterback who would lead them back to the playoffs. I just figured it was Jim Druckemiller.
Lisk – San Francisco will likely be looking ahead to when they play a meaningful game in January. (Washington +4)
Seattle (+12) @ Dallas
CRM -The Eagles beat the Cowboys by five more points than the Bengals beat the Seahawks last week. That means something. (Cowboys -12)
Lisk – The fruits of this matchup once caused us to think Julius Jones was good, and it took years to erase that despite loads of evidence otherwise. (Seattle +12)
Denver (+9) @ Oakland
CRM -*quietly nods* How will this be about Tim Tebow? Besides the fact that everything is about Tim Tebow? What is up with spell check putting a red squiggly line under “Tebow?” Who the fuck does Spell Check think it is? (Oakland -9)
Lisk - CRM’s Pigsplosion Picks > Tebow (Denver +9)
Cincinnati (+3) @ Tennessee
CRM - Javon Ringer had nearly twice as many yards as Chris Johnson on the same amount of carries last week. Yikes. (Bengals +3)
Lisk – Families in Central Kentucky are literally being torn apart this week. (Tennessee -3)
St. Louis (+3.5) @ Arizona
CRM - When I said “*changes channel*” earlier, I was being disingenuous. I don’t have Sunday Ticket, so I don’t have the option to be disgusted by such awful games unless I go the bar. In that case, all I can do is ask the waitress to switch the televisions the games are on. Someday I’ll have a remote. Someday… (Arizona -3.5)
Lisk – With their victory over the Saints last week, the Rams are now tied for the 2nd longest winning streak by an NFC West team this year. (St. Louis +3.5)
New York Giants (+9) @ New England
CRM -David Tyree will toss the coin in the fountain on Sunday. (Giants +9)
Lisk – Legitimate playoff contenders don’t lose games in Pittsburgh. It’s time to panic and say things like “New England will be lucky to win another game this year.” (Giants +9)
Green Bay (-5.5) @ San Diego
CRM – *does Packer rock shuffle* (Paackers -5.5)
Lisk – Norv Turner’s teams are an impressive 8-3 ATS following a gut punch loss when the team fumbled away a chance for victory. Don’t bother looking it up, it’s true. You read it on the internet. (San Diego +5.5)
Baltimore (+3.5) @ Pittsburgh
CRM – Man, I sure did piss hot today. Nothing quite like a team with an aging defense against a team with a shitty, overrated quarterback. (Steelers -3.5)
Lisk – Well, the Ravens did draft Jimmy Smith in an attempt to get younger in the secondary. (Baltimore +3.5)
Chicago (+8) @ Philadelphia
CRM- Chicago doesn’t have a bye! Wooo! I love being able to root against the Bears on national television. What an unexpected joy. (Bears +8)
Lisk- Philadelphia played a game the previous week, so they won’t be nearly as good. (Chicago +8)

man, i really wish we knew who artie lange liked this week.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:38 PM
Bills-Jets, half of the late games, and both primetime games are all pretty good on paper.
Kind of sad it took 9 weeks to produce desirable match-ups in every time slot. Bears-Eagles, might be the first time I watch MNF from start to finish.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:39 PM
Broncos cheerleader is for sure the winner.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:39 PM
Denver Broncos cheerleader, I’d like to see you privately.
GO BILLS!
November 4th, 2011 at 4:39 PM
If the 49ers managed to trade for Manning, they’d win every game they played until his head actually fell off his body.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:40 PM
Broncos cheerleader > Tebow
November 4th, 2011 at 4:40 PM
That fucking Packer Rock video has got to be in the running for worst thing on the internet. Tebow > Packer Rock
November 4th, 2011 at 4:40 PM
“I’ll take the Bears, because I once cut up some blow on a Chicago CD case.”
As a Bills fan, if they can win this week, I’ll probably stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:42 PM
I watched The League for the first time last night. Really funny show. I’m sorry I’ve missed two seasons of it.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:42 PM
I think I’m finally gonna bench him.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:43 PM
Klosterman ranked the 50 greatest college hoops players ever on Grantland today and ranked somebody who went to the college I went to, Mt.San Jacinto Community College, #6. Who the hell is Walter Berry?
November 4th, 2011 at 4:43 PM
I think I’m finally gonna bench him.
Same here Jose. I’m starting Blount against the Saints. Major gamble for me this week as my opponent is first in league standings and is also, by far, the points leader.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:44 PM
Been a fan of Broncos cheerleaders since NFL Gameday 1998 on the PS1.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:45 PM
don’t know if i can do it yet, i’m going to see how he does this week.
i just know the moment i bench him he will get his mojo back, so i guess i’m waiting for someone else with my curse to do it first.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:46 PM
Traded him for Cedric Benson and Santana Moss because I was tired of feeling compelled to start him.
/So he is probably going off this week.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:47 PM
It’s gonna be so liberating when I actually do it, but then I’m gonna have my on every play he runs. It’s like I’m a battered women leaving a domestic abuse situation
November 4th, 2011 at 4:48 PM
Wasn’t this copy and pasted from the Jets-Ravens match up a few weeks ago?
November 4th, 2011 at 4:48 PM
Welcome to the party. You should try and catch up in some down time, it would be worth it.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:48 PM
That’s a no brainer, I’m finally sending CJ to the pine on both teams I have him.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:48 PM
I’ve finally stopped telling myself he can change.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:49 PM
I have to play him, my RBs are CJ, Mathews, Hillis and Starks. I really hope Mathews plays because I’m rolling out CJ and Starks if he doesn’t.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:49 PM
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? I hope by weekly, this means one time and one time only. I don’t need to vomit every Friday at this time, thanks.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:49 PM
That’s a no brainer, I’m finally sending CJ to the pine on both teams I have him.
It would be less of a no-brainer if Blount wasn’t coming off of a knee injury or was used to being an every down back.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:50 PM
Well played.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:51 PM
Does anyone have a TE thought: Vernon Davis vs. Washington or Dustin Keller vs. Buffalo? I’m leaning Davis, because when Smith throws to him, it tends to be a lot. But Harbaugh keeps using Davis in blocking schemes instead.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:51 PM
I HATE that song. Rooting against the Packers the rest of the way.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:51 PM
The Broncos cheerleader can definitely get it.
Let’s go Eagles, beat the diabetes infested cry baby fattie fat fat Jay Cutler and end his career maybe even his life
/winks at SC
November 4th, 2011 at 4:51 PM
GOO! I thought we you brahs, Cousin Ron? First, you reenact your night from Game 6 during that bloody Bartman movie. Now this!?
I can’t even.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:51 PM
Blount will get more 3rd down plays now the Graham is IR’d.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:52 PM
Dog killers > Tebow
November 4th, 2011 at 4:54 PM
Who the hell is Walter Berry?
He was that big dude playing the Sax in Back to the Future. I think he was Marvins’ brother.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:54 PM
Bears haven’t won on the road this year. Would not be surprised if they lost in Philly. That said, much like Aaron Rodgers, Mike Vick is frustrated by the Bears offense that doesn’t let him get yards in chunks. Lassie doesn’t have the patience to move the ball down the field in small amounts. Bears have a chance. Providing that Cutler isn’t throwing 30 times and Matt Forte is keeping Vick off the field.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:54 PM
Looks like I lost out on dibs for the Broncos cheerleader, but can someone please explain the caption to me?
November 4th, 2011 at 4:55 PM
Blount will get more 3rd down plays now the Graham is IR’d.
Yes he will. But that’s my point. He’s coming off a knee injury that kept him out of the game before the bye week. And now he’s going to be running on more downs than he’s used to. The thought makes me nervous, but I’m definitely going to play him because the reward, if he gets in a groove, could be a career day.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:55 PM
The Bear Jew better be ready for Babin to give him a proper education in making Cutler’s life miserable.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:55 PM
Pirate
Cheerleaderstripper is hot….November 4th, 2011 at 4:57 PM
Carimi is out Sunday. He didn’t practice today. Lance Lewis will play right tackle again. I do hope your ends line up that far outside and rush hard off the snap. More lanes for Forte. You’d think a former offensive line coach would know better though.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:57 PM
Yeah, that looks about right
November 4th, 2011 at 4:58 PM
The Bills’ D gives up tons of shit over the middle, though. Even in the shutout over Washington last week, Fred Davis still had like 8 catches for 100 yards.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:58 PM
That Packers video is pretty bad, but “stop, Bears are bad” made me laugh.
November 4th, 2011 at 4:59 PM
They haven’t been lining up in the wide 9 as much recently. Plus they played much better against the run the past two weeks. They’ve had Nnamdi doing a Woodson act recently and it’s been pretty effective.
November 4th, 2011 at 5:03 PM
I actually like the bat girl cheerleader FWIW. She looks like she’s got a nice, thick butt. And them legs would like nice wrapped around the ole torso while having her pushed up against a bookshelf.
Excuse me. I’ll be right back.
November 4th, 2011 at 5:04 PM
I was leaning toward meth
November 4th, 2011 at 5:05 PM
Yeah, that looks about right
i got $20
November 4th, 2011 at 5:06 PM
How can anyone pick the batgirl chick over the others when you can’t see her face? She could have crazy eyes.
November 4th, 2011 at 5:07 PM

It’s all about inner beauty, whats on the inside…
November 4th, 2011 at 5:07 PM
There’s enough to work with there. And if she does turn out to have crazy eyes, well then you just turn her around and that eliminates that.
November 4th, 2011 at 5:08 PM
The Packers overcame Green and Yellow to win the Super Bowl last season, they can get past the existence of this new one, that’s what champions do
November 4th, 2011 at 5:08 PM
That was my in my first draft, but was trying to avoid the Pittsburgh/meth combo from the peanut gallery around hurr.
November 4th, 2011 at 5:08 PM

Why would we ever want her to take the batgirl costume off?
November 4th, 2011 at 5:11 PM
Disagree. Disparaging the Leper Colony by the Lake is as enjoyable an experience as its ever been.
November 4th, 2011 at 5:12 PM
The Bills’ D gives up tons of shit over the middle, though. Even in the shutout over Washington last week, Fred Davis still had like 8 catches for 100 yards.
Hmmmm. This brings me no closer to a decision.
November 4th, 2011 at 5:12 PM
So no one can explain to me what the Broncos cheerleader caption means?
I feel like Elaine reading a cartoon in the New Yorker.
November 4th, 2011 at 5:14 PM
personally i think she has a horrific unibrow and a pretty aggressive receeding hairline, hence the large mask.
November 4th, 2011 at 5:18 PM
Ugh, I hated that. The only part of that I found enjoyable was the “Touchdown….on Ike Taylor!” part.
