NFL Week 11 Lead Pipe Lock Pick

Giants (-7) over the Ravens

The Ravens sport a decent win-loss record, but they haven't beaten a team with a winning record other than Miami.  The Giants are winning in the NFC East, bring a power running game, complimented with a legitimate passing offense (we've come a long way Eli). 

The Ravens defense will need to honor both the run and pass, which will diminish the effectiveness of Ray Lewis.   However, Ray Ray will continue to hurl himself onto tackles long after the play has ended and do his ridiculous dance.

Joe Flacco, on the road, against a Super Bowl caliber defense?  Taking the cover on this one.  Also, taking this video showing my virtual girlfriend just who is in charge...

Overall Record: 6-4

Derrick Rose's Back In Pain, Needs Teammates to Get Off It

Derrick Rose has a sore back, which is what happens when you have to carry the entire team on your back EVERY DAMN NIGHT.

"Every damn night! On the TELEPHONE!"

NFL Week 10 Lead Pipe Lock Pick

Titans (-3) over the Bears

How appropriate is this post title, considering some asshole broke into our condo building this week and stole a bunch of shit from the neighbors.  My condominium was spared, thanks to a security system of not owning anything expensive.  That, and the ADP logo I cut out of a magazine and taped to my door.

Of course, making these consistently shitty picks is pretty much a guarantee of me not affording anything more that a bag of peanut butter stuffed pretzels.  But goddamn are those things tasty. 

With Sexy Rexy back flinging darts behind center, look for the Titan's front four to apply constant pressure against the middle of the offensive line.  Rex is too short and slow to avoid such a ferocious pass rush, so expect more batted balls at the line of scrimmage, 25-yard floaters into double coverage, and just for good measure, a fumbled snap (he's due!).

If the Bears can't stop the Titans ground game, it could be long afteroon on the lakefront Sunday.  Watching the Bears defense attempt flailing tackles on LenDale White and Chris Johnson might put me into a rage, but if I see one more of these fucking "Save By Zero" Toyota commercials, I'm going to kill someone.   

Finally, if these NFL picks don't challenge you enough, a bookmaker has slashed it's odds on the existence of God to 4-to-1.

Overall Record: 5-4
