WEEK SIX

The best cure for a losing week is taking a week off.

The second best cure is doubling down your bets.

The third best cure involves a young woman named April at a Gentlemen’s club in Las Vegas, but we’ll leave that for another blog and another time.


The fourth best cure is to bet against the Raiders.

Oakland meanders into a bees nest of angry Chargers. What San Diego did to Denver last week is a crime in several states. Lay the 9.5 and watch the fireworks,


We like Seattle at home coming off a bye week against the hapless Saints. Lay the 6.5


Wanna know who Rumpole is? He’s the guy humming the songs from Springsteen’s new Album: Magic.

In Dallas, Vanilla Phillips' Own Worst Enemy has Come to Town:

You can't sleep at night
You can't dream your dream
Your fingerprints on file
Left clumsily at the scene

Your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy has come to town

Yesterday the people were at ease
Baby you slept in peace
You closed your eyes and saw her
You knew who you were

And your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy has come

Your world keeps turning round and round
But everything is upside down
Your own worst enemy has come to town

The line on this game, according to 52nd Street Irwin is all over the board, from a low of 4 to a high of 7- with the NE Cheaters being the favorite. Lets call it 5.5. Lay the points and take the Cheaters. Your own worst enemy has come to town.
Pick your poison. Pick your own worst enemy: Brady. Moss. Belicheater.

Now be warned, the Cheaters are banged up- RB Maroney is a game time decision and Sammy Morris is his back-up. The absence of Maroney will change how the Cheaters play this game. But the Cheaters are one hell of a football team, while Dallas had the aura of invincibility removed from them last week.
We said we were going to pick this game, and we are:
NE Cheaters -5.5 on the road.

Here are two flyers: take the Cardinals at home -4 over the Carolina Panthers and take the Cleveland Brownies over the perfect season 0-16 Dolphins: Browns -4.5

So we say to the Cowboys: There’s a Darkness on the Edge of Town- and that town is in the Badlands:

Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a cross fire that I don't understand

Cheaters 45- Cowboys 30 - although we'd feel a lot better if we knew if Maroney was playing.


Suicide Pool

It’s just Rumpole and Feet of Clay Kaeiser, in the battle for the Blog’s suicide pool champion.

Clay a/k/a CK weighs in with the Baltimore Ravens at home over the Rams.

Rump decides between the Bears over the Vikes or the Jaguars over the Texans. The Texans had their hands full last week with a weak Miami team. The Jaguars have righted the ship and bring a very very good defense to the table. Rumpole picks the Jaguars over the Texans.

See You Tomorrow, humming some tunes.
