For the second year in a row, Squeakers the Cat did a lousy job of picking the games while our normal guy, Ernesto the Prediction Iguana, is on vacation. Squeakers went 4-2 – barely, thanks Steelers for helping save us from the first winless teaser week in AWITP history – and she went only 1-2 in teasers. I suppose it’s not her fault…I mean who knew the Rams would pick a road game at S.F. to finally win again. Plus, thank you Chargers for sucking like one of Tiger Woods’s prostitute harpies. Squeakers, we love you, but you’re benched.
This week a newcomer slides into the hot seat and will try to help us improve our teaser record from the lackluster 8-10 we’re treading at right now. Overall we’re 23-13…not up to our usual standard, so let’s hope that our guest this week is up to the task: Meet Faith, the newest addition to prognostication team here at AWITP. Faith is so new, we don’t even know what she likes, other than hiding under Britt’s bed, and eating Kitty Kaviar, but she gets her chance for NFL game-picking glory – so here goes:
CRY EAGLES CRY?
EAGLES EVEN vs. panthers
EAGLES-panthers UNDER 54
I lose either way on this one – if the Eagles win, Britt doesn’t shut up for another week, and everything in the world is painted that ghastly, metallic green, even her toe nails…if the Eagles lose? Well, we sink further down in the stat sheet of this column. (Note: the Eagles have been our best performer this year….)
THE GUYS THAT BURNED US LAST WEEK
CARDINALS -1/2 vs rams
LIONS-dolphins OVER 34.5
Hmm…it seems Faith isn’t afraid of going with the teams that snakebit Squeakers last week…Can the Rams win two road division games back-to-back against quality opponents. We usually don’t like playing these NFC West division match-ups (they are WAAAAAAAY unpredictable). The Dolphins scored 37 in three quarters…and then nothing the rest of the way to really stick it in Squeakers and twist, (she had OVER 38…cruel, CRUEL loss…)
AFC NORTH REPRESENTING!
BENGALS-browns OVER 38
steelers +10 at JETS
There’s that pesky 38 number again. It’s been feast or famine so far this season. Which Steeler team will show up? The one that almost got Todd Haley fired? Ore the one that succeeds despite him? That can’t be Todd Haley calling those plays…Tomlin had Haley’s headset re-touted to the takeout line at the local Burger King.
