Ghost of Lombardi's "Bet The House" Twooooooo!

Hello fellas and dames. It's Friday and you know what that means. Time for the second installment of Ghost of Lombardi's "Bet The House". This is where I give you predictions and insight only attainable by great football minds like myself. Picks so good that you'll feel confident enough to run out and BET! THE! HOUSE! Last week I went 11-4, not to shabby. So here we go...

Disclaimer: Ghost of Lombardi is not responsible for any and all loss of property. All picks are made after very little sleep and much whiskey breakfast.

The Cowboys, Cheifs, Vikings and Bucs are all off this week. The NY Jets travel to Buffalo to face the much laughed at Bills. What can I say about Buffalo other then, I'm glad I'm not a Bills fan. With the release this week of QB Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick will get the start while the Jets have added another big name to their defense; DE Trevor Pryce. I hate to say it but the Jets will win and win big. If the Bills upset in this one, I'll change my name to Ghost of girly girl pink thong dildo head. Jets 34 Bills 17. Cincinnati at Cleveland. I always say, "It's safe to never pick orange teams" but this week they play each other. Cleveland being the worst of them, I'm taking the Bengals by 14.

Denver comes to town to face the Titans. The Broncos are shaky at best and Titan running back Chris Johnson should have a huge! huge! huge! day on the ground. Titans 28 Broncos 14. Here we go again, Drew Brees "at home in a dome" against the fall apart Panthers. This one is going to be like the Saints are playing a high school squad. Saints 38 Panthers 7. Green Bay will host Detroit in a NFC North match-up. Seems like any easy choice but when you're picking the NFC North or the NFC East, all bets are off. The Packers still seem unstable since the loss of running back Ryan Grant. I flipped a coin on this one, Packers 21 Detroit 10. The Rams are coming off a big win over the Redskins and will be riding a high when they host Seattle. This is a recipe for an all out drudging. Seattle's Leon Washington had a big game with two returns for touchdowns. I'm sure the Rams will throw allot but you know what they say, "Live by the gun, die by the gun". Seahawks 27 Rams 17.

San Fran at Atlanta. The 49ers are in a state of "What?" What do we do? What was that? What was I thinking? I feel like they could sneak out a win here but I'm going on what I see, a team in a nose dive. Did you know that San Francisco locals hate when "outsiders" use the term San Fran when referring to their city? Oh well, Atlanta 24 San Fran 14. The Ravens come to Pittsburgh this week. I always spell "Pittsburgh" wrong often leaving off that stupid "h" that really has no purpose. I mean who says, Pittsburg-hhh and breathes their hot man breath all over you. Disgusting. The Steelers have been winning with defense and it doesn't seem to matter who is playing quarterback but they're due for a loss. Joe Flacco is going to open up shop on them and Troy Palamalalalolalelaoa (I can't say his name never mind spell it) won't be able to cover all the talent they have at wide receiver. Baltimore 35 Pittsburg-hhh 17.

Houston at Oakland. Borrr-ring! Houston 28 Oakland 21. Peyton Manning vs. Jacksonville. Come on son?! The P. Mannings 34  Jacksonville 14. (rubbing my hands together in suspense) OOOOH Boy! Washington in Philly. McNabb will face his former team in a stadium that many would love to see, burnt to the ground. Their fans are mean spirited s.o.b.'s. When they're not watching the Eagles, they spend their time drinking scotch, stepping on babies' fingers and kidney punching wheel chair bound old ladies. Awful people. The over-under on McNabb getting booed is 14. I'm mean these are people, that only go to church because they think they're actually eating the remains of Jesus Christ. Anyway, Eagles 34 Redskins 31 in a close one. Arizona at San Diego. Take your pick. Who knows, who cares. Chargers 21 Arizona 17.

Sunday night will feature Giants v. Bears. Unfortunately, the Giants have to play this week. I'm a big fan of the bye week at this point and wish they had one. Wake up NY! The good news: The Giants have fared well against the run. The bad news: The Bears' running backs have a combined 53 rushing attempts. Jay Cutler has thrown over 90 times so expect him to pass and throw up many opportunities for NY to take advantage of. I can't stress this enough. Big Blue needs to pick this guy 2-3 times in order to pull out a win. And The Giant defense has to get to Cutler. He takes a 7 step drop and holds the ball forever. This is the game that the Giants could have handed to them on a silver platter. Come on D! Giants 28 Bears 21. Yes I picked the Giants.

Monday Night: Are you ready for some Hank Williams Jr? What's the deal with that guy? He appears to be ageless. He's looked the same since I was four. I guess a big beard IS the secret to looking younger after all! When Hank's finished singing his trademark song, we'll see the Patriots line up against Miami in Sun Life Stadium or should I say, "vamos a ver a los Patriotas de Nueva Inglaterra juegan los Dolphins de Miami en el Estadio Sun Life".  Hope thats right, it just being Spanish heritage month and all. I got to admit, I was confused last Sunday and turned the game off thinking it was soccer when they opened with "Los Nueva Airoplanos v. Los Miami Fishyfishes". Anyway, New England should win this one. Patriots 30 Los Miami ADolphinsnotafishy 20. 

Well that's my picks. So have a great day and shitty weekend.

P.S. Thanks for all your response this week, keep em' coming!
