Saturday was Happy November 13th day! One of the most significant and monumental days in American history. We are spending it today recovering from our celebration last night (as we usually do, although we had a Covid interruption last year) at a party at 1049 Park Avenue, the historic residence at the center of this great day.
November 13 was the day, as most know, when Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his residence with a request that came from his wife. With the snippet of surviving video, we see a despondent Unger leaving his apartment with some luggage. A moment later he is handed a frying pan. Unger is later seen sitting forlornly on his luggage on a rainy Manhattan street, before he shows up at the home of his childhood friend Oscar Madison, who is seen reaching into his pocket, presumably to hand Unger a key, as Madison was known to always be short of money. Several years earlier Madison's wife had thrown him out of their marital abode. With Felix Unger moving in, Unger and Madison confronted the existential problem of the 1970's- can two divorced men live together without driving each other crazy?
Before we begin our picks and discussion, we note that the great Sam Huff, hall of fame middle linebacker for multiple NY Giant championship teams in the 1950's and 60's died at 87 on Saturday. Sam Huff was indeed the man in the middle: "If you had the football I was going to hit you and I tried to hit you hard enough to hurt you. That's the way the game should be played."
Your Miami Dolphins drove the Ravens crazy in Miami-Gardens this past Thursday, posting an upset win of the double-digit-favored Ravens.
There's a lot of +10 point spreads this week that we are shying away from. We like the Pack with Rodgers back over the visiting Seahawks with Russell Wilson back, - 4, so long as Rodgers plays.
While we like the J...E...T....S Mike White's Jets Jets Jets +13 at home, we also like the over 47.5 against the struggling Bills.
We like the Chargers at home -2.5 to bounce back against the inconsistent Vikings.
Speaking of bounce backs, KC giving 2.5 to the Raiders in Vegas is also a decent pick.
SURVIVOR POOL UPDATE: WE HAD A TIE TODAY IN THE STEELER/LIONS GAME. A TIE IS NOT A LOSS. COLBY AND KAEISER SURVIVE.
Fake Freddy and Rick Freedman: Colts; Mr. Markus: Dallas; Colby & Kaeiser: Steelers.
Happy November 13th!

For those of you interested, perhaps the greatest single sitcom episode (ranking right up there with the Chuckles The Clown episode on the Mary Tyler Moore show) is the Password episode of the Odd Couple, because as we all know:
1) It's a known fact Lincoln Loved Mayonnaise;
2) Pencils are made from Graphite
and the greatest like of them all...
ARISTOPHANES IS RIDICULIOUS
You can see the episode if you search password odd couple on You Tube.
Oy vey. In this FAKAKTA survivor pool - “What would SIR KENNETH W do? Stay with the Steelers without their QB or just take the Chargers and call it a day?
