Picking time!

Saints @ Falcons: Rivalry games are always intense, but sweet bejeebus the Falcons just TANKED this year. The Saints, on the other hand, look like world beaters. Saints by 10.
Vikings @ Packers: The Packers might be down one Aaron Rodgers, but they've still got enough in the tank to squeak by a terrible Vikings team. Pack by 13.
Steelers @ Browns: As long as we don't turn the ball over 8 freaking times, Pittsburgh should have it. Stillers by 14.
Buccaneers @ Lions: Oh look, the Bucs remembered to how to football. They still suck. Lions by 20.
Chargers @ Chiefs: I like what Rivers has done, but the Chiefs are just cash money. Chiefs by 9.
Bears @ Rams: No need to worry about tornadoes this time around, Chicago. Bears by 10.
Panthers @ Dolphins: Lol that Miami offensive line is some buttcrack. Panthers by 14.
Jets @ Ravens: Man, the Jets are bipolar as hell. Not gonna fly against a desperate Baltimore team. Ratbirds by 6.
Jaguars @ Texans: Lol Jags suck. Oh wait, so do the supposedly contender Texans! Ha! Still, Texans by 4.
Titans @ Raiders: *Barfs*. Raiders by who cares.
Colts @ Cardinals: The Cards are actually pretty damn good! Still, the Colts barely escape Glendale with a win. Colts by 1.
Cowboys @ Giants: I really, really hope the Giants can come back and steal the division since the Redskins are done for. Giants by 3.
Broncos @ Patriots: Still not drinking the blue and orange kool-aid 'til I see some defensive improvement. I think the Patriots shut up the Denver ass-kissers - at least for the time being - with a 3 point win.
49ers @ Redskins: Oh, woe is Washington DC. They have tons of talent but can't catch a damn break. 49ers by 13.

For those that didn't get around to watching the game, like myself: Oh, this is just hilarious. Jimmy Graham single-handedly f'ed up the goal post. :lol:

Some guys are just too strong. I expect all the doors in his house are hanging off the hinges.

The Falcons are always better at home, same as the Seahawks. But this year they don't have the weapons to defend that turf.

Oh, wait, it's because the NFL decided that I can't watch highlight videos with AdBlock Pro on.

I guess their revenue stream is tightening.

All we need is sufficient engineering expertise and we can win?

Maybe, if the rules allow it.

Damn, Falcons really tried.

Good game, now to prep up for facing the Seahawks.

Assuming that what you see on the outside is a foam piece that goes inside the helmet, behind the polycarbonate outside. The foam cones would act as little, individual shock absorbers, and the airgap surrounding them would let the foam deform quite a bit.

You that feeling when your team is winning again but the fanbase is still getting butthurt over petty shit and demanding your star QB to be traded and the head coach to be fired and half team to be cut what's up with that I mean DA HE-

So Cleveland. I suspect this game will be pretty defensive-oriented, which is not exactly in our favor, but as long as Big Ben can do his thing at least half the time we're golden.

If Ponder Pussy starts in the second half I'm going to be pissed.

Edit: Also a big fuck you to fox sports for the QB carousel music bit. I know my team sucks but you don't have to be dicks about it.

I just turned the game on when I posted that. I had been listening to the radio and they made it seem like he was being himself.
