Yeah, so, you score under 50 points versus the Odd Squad... and you're in trouble pal. Mark my words. Yikes!
This is ridiculous. I mean, other than not having any good receivers or a decent running back (I'm looking at you Ray and Shonn) or a productive Tight End, I just can't figure out what the hell is wrong with my team! The worst part is, is I have to look at Romo on my roster, who I dislike intensely. Maybe not quite as much as say, any or all Arizona Cardinals, but it's close. Real close.
Anyway, PW got his first win last week but unlike last year I'm not overly optimistic that there are going to be many more to follow. To top it off I get Petey this week and so far his team has been a beast. Oh, well.
Last week was also a pretty pathetic effort on my part in the prognostication department. A pitiful 2-5. Yuck. Now my record for the year sits at a paltry 13-16. Ouch.
Is there any hope for the Odd Squad this week? Will potholes ever fill themselves? Is there a chance that pizza is actually a fruit? These questions need answers and I shall endeavor to answer them for you friends. By the way, on those last two... I have no idea, but I have some opinions on this weeks games. Let's see if I know anything at all.
PW's Odd Squad vs. Beantown Champs
Ick, Beantown's a big favorite and rightly so. I see no reason to think my team will suddenly begin to go the extra mile until they actually do it for a week or two. So...
My pick: Beantown, probably not even close.
11 Angry Men vs. The Tongo Express
At first glance this game looks like it should be close but then you see MJD against Buffalo and you may also have Bush going for almost all the carries this week for Oakland if McFadden can't really play. I may start him this week too in my other league as a matter of fact.
All of the sudden Yoder looks primed to make a run after a slow start and the big ape is in the way.
My pick: 11 Angry Men, gorilla tamers from way back
His Own Ego vs. Team Zissou
Hey, where's Jay been on Sunday's? Probably got life stuff I reckon. Anyway, As long as Team Zissou scores somewhere around their average I think they should do pretty well this week. Although Jay might get Moreno back so that may help him out. Who knows, seems Moreno has been a little unreliable like a few of them there Odd Squad players.
My pick: Team Zissou, You never say, "I'm gonna fight you, Steve." You just smile and act natural, and then you sucker-punch him.
The Replicants vs. Sookie's Suckers
We now take you once again to the inner sanctum of the Replicants and Suckers where the following conversation was overheard using a Dixie cup held up to a window and transmitted via a piece of string to the treehouse across the back yard, where Mikey is soon to be shacking up for the week.
Sookie: : So Mike, I see you traded for Adrain Peterson?
The Replicants: Yeah, so?
Sookie: Do you love me?
The Replicants: Yeah... so?
Sookie: How much do you love me?
The Replicants: I'm not sure I like where this is going.
Sookie: Sookie: Let's do this the easy way, bench him now and I'll make you a nice sandwich.
The Replicants: I like sandwiches.
Sookie: How much do you like sandwiches?
The Replicants: Seriously?
Sookie: Dead serious.
The Replicants: OK, I'll get my things...
My pick: Sookie, she's got the girl power
The No Name Gang vs. Dextruction
No name looks primed to make a run into the playoffs, while Dex would be happy with a single win at this point. If Andre can go this week this one could get out of control early. I'll just say he'll plays and base my pick on that.
My pick: No Name Gang, lookin' good.
Teen Terrors vs. Hired Goons
It's too bad that Juno has completely disappeared. I was looking forward to chatting her up and flipping her crap this season and now that it appears her team is actually pretty good I'd hoped she might weigh in with some of her own smack talk. Oh well. Her match up with Badger this week is right down the line with only a point or so dividing them. Tough call. I can't really seem to get a bead on Badgers team so perhaps it will be good luck if I pick against him this week.
My pick: Teen Terrors wins the coin toss
GWOW vs, Flash
If we find out this week that KC isn't quite ready for the big time by getting hammered by Indy this week then we'll also be watching Flashy pick up another win I reckon. Garcon should be back and that TE is just ridiculous.
My pick: Flash, "I'd much rather see you on my side, than scattered into... atoms."
Let's do this.
