notes and observances on week 6
so 7-7 for the week, and 43-33 for the year. A solid start, although we've given a bit back as of late...
(Corky's picks, as always, are the first teams listed)
Kansas City +6.5 @ Washington
I still don't think Washington can beat anyone by a touchdown, even a hot mess like the Chiefs. Interesting note, Jim Zorn will be the last coach in the NFL to be fired, in an alphabetical list of fired coaches.
Houston + 5.5 @ Cincinnati
All 5 of Cincinnati's games have come down to the final minutes of play. Which leads me to believe that this one should be close. Plus it's time for Houston to put up or shut up. I'm ready to jump off their ship if they take one more week off.
Cleveland +14 @ Pittsburgh
Hey, has anyone noticed that the Steelers are pretty awful so far this year? My hunch is that it has to do with Troy Polamalu's ridiculously effeminate Head 'n' Shoulders commercials. And yes, Cleveland is awful, too. But I just see Pittsburgh doing just enough to win, and not enough to cover.
Minnesota -3 vs. Baltimore
Did you see how Brett Favre just picked apart the Ravens' weak secondary? The way he's picking them apart makes me want to do unspeakable things to him in front of his lovely wife... Sorry, I accidentally started channeling every color analyst in the NFL there for a moment.
Indianapolis -7 vs. the AFC
Is Bob Sanders healthy? Can you name anyone else on their defense besides Sanders and Dwight Freeney? Am I their fourth wide receiver? Who knows, and who cares? I just think Peyton Manning decided this offseason he was tired of everyone talking about everyone else in the league. Can't you see him on the set of another hilarious commercial, slapping a cup of not-hot-enough coffee from the hands of a PA, screaming "I'm Peyton F'n Manning!! Don't bring me tepid coffee! I'm gonna win it all this year! Now let's make some product-pitching magic!"
St. Louis +9.5 @ L.A. Jaguars of Jacksonville
Has anything good ever come out of Jacksonville other than the Patriots' Super Bowl Win? I guess this is bad news for L.A., or Orlando, or Vegas, or wherever the Jags go in a few years. Because they won't be a good thing coming out of Jacksonville, either.
New Orleans -3 vs. NY Giants
This is Eli Manning's first game in the Superdome. And, to reiterate an earlier point, Archie Manning will not be at the game; instead, he'll be watching Peyton play Rock Band: The Beatles at his house on the bye week.
Carolina -3 @ Tampa Bay
Wow, I remember when this game was good. But, like I always say, you can't bet against Jake Delhomme when playing an awful team with a quarterback you don't know on grass that may or may not have been chewed up by the U2 360 Tour.
Miami +10 over Corky
At least they were playing the Jets. That's what I was telling myself.
Green Bay -14 vs. Detroit
Sorry, Daunte. But the covering magic of last week won't help you here. Without a healthy Calvin Johnson, the Lions don't have the juice in this one.
Philly -14 @ Oakland
How freaky will this weekend be for Donovan McNabb? When he looks across the sidelines at Jamarcus Russell, he have a frighteningly eerie glimpse into what he'll look like after retiring and putting on 75 pounds.
Arizona +3 @ Seattle
Ugh. At least now I know I'm not addicted to gambling. Because I really don't want to pick this game. I'll just take the points, and we'll not speak of this moment.
Expectations pk over San Francisco
Hey, what's that over the hill? Is that an 8-8 record??
NY Jets -9.5 vs. Buffalo
Right now, someone in Buffalo is thinking, "Boy, do I miss J.P. Losman." And that's all I have to say about that.
Tony Roma's -2 vs. Tony Romo
Tomy Roma's is one of the best 10 chain restaurants in America for ribs. Tony Romo is not one of America's 10 best quarterbacks.
New England -9.5 vs. Tennessee
America's Greatest 0-5 team, the Titans, has picked a great week to have 2 injured cornerbacks... against a New England team coming off of a loss. You guys have fun with that, OK?
Atlanta -3 vs Chicago
The old adage is, if a team is favored by 3 at home, Vegas thinks the teams are pretty much even. I can't help but agree. So I guess I'll cop out and take the Dome field advantage.
Denver +3.5 @ San Diego
...Which means that Vegas thinks that San Diego is better than Denver!? OK, then. I'll be taking these Huggies, and whatever cash ya got.
As always, I'll accept no cash, just your eternal gratefulness.

The perils of being Corky
...who is 31-17, by the way (because I did pick Indy +3 last week, but didn't transcribe it to the post. I wrote it down, I can verify it if you don't believe me).
But people want to be me so bad that they're reduced to trying to break in to my home to get my picks. They're right here, dude. Free and clear as always.
Corky still will not take a Florida team, regardless of the spread. And you shouldn't either.
Houston -8.5
Tennessee -3
NE -1.5
Cincinnati -6.5
NYG -9
Detroit +10
Washington -8
Indy -10
NYJ +7.5
Buffalo Pk
StL +9.5
Denver +3
San Diego +6.5
GB +4
