Ambiguously Disgruntled Manifesto

wasting your time since 1975

okay, so my blog has been pretty lame lately... other than my lame "Pick 'Em" game, there have been no entries in more than a week. I would like to tell my faithful readers I have something important or interesting to say... but I don't. I logged on to post my "Pick 'Em" picks.

I didn't seleclt Oakland @ St Louis as one of my featured games, seeing as how Oakland is 4-0 and looking like the best team in the NFL right now, and the Rams are an absolute mess at 0-5 and coming off a butt-kicking at San Fran. This is no contest, right? The Raiders should have no problem... right? No one in their right minds would pick the Rams... right? This seems to easy, and whenever this happens... well, I'm not saying the Rams will win, but this IS the NFL.

Minnesota over Detroit
San Fran over Seattle
Denver over Miami
G.B. ver N.E.
K.C. over S.D.

The 49ers average 5.9 yards per attempt when the run with their fullback in to block. The 'Hacks still haven't shown they can consistently stop the run. In my "stinker" game the Vikings get on track against a Lions team that may not be all that bad after all.

UW over Arizona
WSU over Stanford
ASU over OSU
USC over Cal
UCLA over Oregon
