Thursday (NFL picks) edition: Wha’ Happened?
Posted on November 6th, 2008 – 9:22 AMBy Michael Rand
So yeah, there is an NFL game … tonight! Denver vs. Cleveland. So if you have any of the fantasy stalwarts from either of those teams, make sure to set your lineup. The big one, of course, is the Vikings vs. the Packers. Stay tuned today and tomorrow for some very special previews of that game. For now, though, the picks!
Denver at Cleveland: The Brady Quinn era begins! Um, did anyone else know there’s a bodybuilder named Jay Cutler?
New Orleans at Atlanta: This game really comes down to a battle between a mandolin and a tuba.
Tennessee at Chicago: NFC North vs. Titans = FAIL.
Jacksonville at Detroit: Jags assistant Mike Tice knows all about new Lions starting QB Daunte Culpepper and his small, girlish, fumble-me hands.
Baltimore at Houston: Sage Rosenfels gets an entire game to throw crippling interceptions this week.
Seattle at Miami: Holmgren just wants to go home.
Green Bay at Minnesota: The defining game of the Brad Childress era. What could go wrong?
Buffalo at New England: Hey ladies! Do you like cutoff sweatshirts?
St. Louis at New York Jets: Old Man Favre.
Carolina at Oakland: JaMarcus Russell is dying a slow, painful football death.
Indianapolis at Pittsburgh: Byron Leftwich looks like he’s throwing off a mound, but he was effective.
Kansas City at San Diego: Phil Rivers looks like he’s throwing a grenade, but he’s effective.
New York Giants at Philadelphia: Giants have the look of a repeat contender.
San Francisco at Arizona: Kurt Warner for MVP?
Fasola-link! The luscious garage.

Well the Rand and I have 7 different outcomes this week. Looking at Rand’s totals for the year, I fully expect a great week.
Subtle picture. Looking forward to the next post with a picture of William F. Buckley’s spinning corpse.
Clarence, you’ll never believe it but I didn’t do that intentionally. I just think that’s a funny picture. But it does work.
I believe it. I think i’m guilty of reading into things a little too much lately.
Falling elephants are funny.
Anyone been watching the show “Time Warp”? It rules. They should put falling elephants on next week’s episode. Slow-motion falling elephants would be radical.
I think the Bears win. Tennessee looked flatter than flat in the first half against Green Bay. 2nd straight road game against a solid team = flatter than Nicole Richie.
wasn’t the GB game a home game?
Mr. Rand is correct.
Also, it should be noted that Ryan Leaf coaches golf.
AZGG: Where did you find that? It wasn’t in the story yesterday, and I thought it a glaring omission.
