Had to be done. The Cowboys haven’t finished thanking the Viqueens for one of the all time worst trades in sports history, one tin foil hat for 3 Super Bowls.
The details of the “Great Trade Robbery” are set out below.
Well this is all about fun despite periodic selection misery, so I will amplify a bit this week with optional commentary on my picks.
New England - He's Bill Belichick, the Patriots are at the bottom of the division, and he's mad.
Atlanta
This is a "WHO CARES!" game between two terrible teams even for the locals because at 1PM ET in Atlanta, they are either in church or still hungover from their college football Saturday. I'm not watching!
Denver
Both these teams really suck, but Denver is at home. Both sets of fans care, but for fans of the Raiders like me (my second team), well the outlook is virtually hopeless this season. Just put on a show regardless of the score already!
Minnesota
The Vikings are hot, and they are really good, yet they are perfectly capable of pooping the bed in a national game at home against those Cowboys, who pooped the bed on Sunday in Green Bay. It's the Battle of The Bed Poopers!
Kansas City
Ditto the previous comments. The Chiefs face their divisional rival the Chargers. Now here's something the NFL Competition Committee should address. How do the Chargers get two consecutive Sunday night games? I do not ever recall this happening unlike a Monday night game followed by a Sunday night game as is not uncommon. NBC provides the likely explanation here in targeting the Southern California television market again.
San Francisco
I hate when Monday night games are chosen.
Oh..right you are Jon. I'll stick with the left column and pick San Fran as my randomizer intended. Might as well pop my picks in the oven and call them 'done like dinner'.
