NFL Pigskin Pigsplosion Preview: Week 5
So Moss returning to Minnesota brings me mixed feelings. He’ll have an old quarterback throwing bombs to him just like in his rookie season. Brett Favre loves to throw it from one end of the field to the other. This is going to be awesome to watch. Moss could score 2 touchdowns a game and Favre could get picked off 3 times a game. Every game.

Fraud!
Jay Cutler can’t even really be considered a fraud because all he does is throw picks when he has time. Hell, the Bears strategy of holding onto the ball by letting Cutler get sacked every down almost worked last week.
Game Manager
Donovan McNabb didn’t have to do much to “get revenge” on the Eagles. All he really had to do was not crack his ribs.
Pick’emsplosion’em and Gambling
I backed up Week 3’s 4-12 mark with an outstanding 5-9 last week. Everyone said I was an idiot for picking almost all favorites, and they were right. Honestly though, I think I’m just incredibly unlucky and the wrong teams are winning. To help show just how unlucky I’ve been, I’m going to be picking against a coin this week. Yes, I’m literally going to flip a coin for every game (heads is home, tails is away) and see how I do in comparison. I mean, I’m fucking 25 and 37 on the year. Losing to a quarter can’t be considered embarrassing.
Bucs (+6.5) over BENGALS
Coin says: BENGALS (-6.5) over Bucs – I don’t like Josh Freeman on the road. Of course, I don’t like Carson Palmer.
Falcons (-3.5) over BROWNS
Coin says: BROWNS (+3.5) over Falcons – The Browns aren’t awesome, but they’re good enough to hang with most teams.
Rams (+3.5) over LIONS
Coins says: Rams (+3.5) over LOINS – The fact that I agree with a guy that has gone 9-21 over the last two weeks worries me and it should worry St. Louis fans.
COLTS (-8.5) over Chiefs
Coin says: COLTS (-8.5) over Chiefs – Unless the Chiefs get a couple big returns, they can’t hang with Indy.
Packers (-2.5) over REDSKINS
Coin says: REDSKINS (+2.5) over Packers – No matter what, Green Bay can’t run the ball.
Bears (-2.5) over PANTHERS
Coin says: PANTHERS (+2.5) over Bears – Chicago is severely overrated.
RAVENS (-7.5) over Broncos
Coin says: RAVENS (-7.5) over Broncos – Baltimore is one of the top teams in the league.
TEXANS (-3.5) over Giants
Coin says: TEXANS (-3.5) over Giants – I was at Giants stadium on Sunday night too. Pretty soon, I’ll be in the register at Mr. Subb.
Saints (-7.5) over CARDINALS
Coin says: CARDINALS (+7.5) over Saints – The Saints can’t run the ball for shit either. As a coin, I’m a big fan of the running game.
Chargers (-6.5) over RAIDERS
Coin says: RAIDERS (+6.5) over Chargers – I’m excited about Randy Moss’ triumphant return to Oakland.
Eagles (+3.5) over 49ERS
Coin says: 49ERS (-3.5) over Eagles – After 1 quarter, I’m convinced that Kevin Kolb sucks.
JETS (-4.5) over Vikings
Coin says: JETS (-4.5) over Vikings – Don’t forget to check out the Fan Duel contest. I’m only a quarter, but I still hope to win $500 and a trip to Vegas.
Yes, I really did flip a coin 14 times and yes it really did turn up heads 12 of those times.
