Buddies vs. Glenn II: Redemption

...hopefully.

Well, your buddy, Buddies, got crushed last week by some idiot named John Glenn. What the hell kind of name is that anyway. Stupid astronaut asshole. My excuse? He went first and I looked at his picks to see what the lines even were, and because I hate him so much, I naturally wanted to pick against him. There it is.


Buddies' 'Redeem Team'

Broncos (-9.5) over Chiefs

Bengals (-3.5) over Browns

Jaguars (-7) over Texans

Cardinals (+1) over Jets

49ers (+5) over Saints

Falcons (+7) over Panthers

Titans (-3) over Vikings

Packers (+1) over Bucs

Bills (-8) over Rams

Raiders (+7.5) over Chargers

Redskins (+11) over Cowboys

Eagles (-3) over Bears

Ravens (+5.5) over Steelers

Glenn Defends

Broncos (-9.5) at Chiefs

Bengals (-3.5) over Browns

Jags (-7) over Texans

Jets (-1) over Cardinals

Saints (-5) over 49ers

Panthers (-7) over Falcons

Titans (-3) over Vikings

Packers (+1) over Bucs

Bills (-8) at Rams

Chargers (-7.5) at Raiders

Cowboys (-11) over Redskins

Eagles (-3) at Bears

Steelers (-5.5) over Ravens

I hate John Glenn.

NFL Week 3 Picks: FACE OFF!!!!

I've been forced into a hiatus after my Euro Vacation and moving into what is known as the "Narcottage" but I'm back to face off against that douche bag (also housemate) John Glenn (you may know him as "buttfestival") in the weekly lines. But first, here's what I think I've learned from the first two weeks of this season:

1. That Bengals pick was not so great.

2. I went with a theory of a good but aging defense plus an historically floundering offense will equate to a last place finish. This was what was behind the Bears, Titans, and Ravens last place finishes. All of those teams look at least fine, and the Titans looks pretty good. It's actually comforting to know there is still a place for a defensive team in the playoffs these days.

3. With 1 minute left in week 1 MNF, The Vikings and my fantasy team both trailed by about five points. John Glenn, aka Insano Flex, had Tarvaris Jackson and Buddies' Blankets had the funnily named Atari Bigby. In a meaningless terrible pass, Jackson thew a pick to Bigby (an 8-point swing) and gave Buddies the game. How is that a lesson learned? We learned that I'm great and Glenn sucks.

4. The NFC looks like the stronger conference. In fact, the NFC East looks stronger than the rest of the league combined.

5. Here are my possible Super Bowl Teams after two weeks, look for additions and subtractions in later weeks (in no particular order): Broncos, Eagles, Packers, Giants, Titans, Cowboys, Steelers. Looking back, I think that is my order.

So here are My Picks for week three:

Chiefs (+5.5) over Falcons

Bills (-9.5) over Raiders

Titans (-5) over Texans

Pats (-13) over Dolphins

Bucs (+3) over Bears

Rams (+9.5) over Seahawks

Vikings (-3.5) over Panthers

Lions (+4) over 49ers

Giants (-13) over Bengals

Steelers (+3) over Eagles

Cardinals (+3) over Redskins

Jags (+5) over Colts

Ravens (-2.5) over Browns

Broncos (-5.5) over Saints

Packers (+3) over Cowboys

Chargers (-10) over Jets
