Pick’emsplosion
Last week: CRM (8-6) — Lisk.(9-5)
Overall: CRM (58-61-8) — Lisk (66-56-9)

Denver (+3.5) @ Kansas City
CRM – I know Lisk is going to try and jinx this obvious Chiefs victory by picking the Broncos. Also, I feel like this should be a late game. (Chiefs -3.5)

Lisk – The Chiefs should out ‘Merica the Broncos by putting Ricky Stanzi in the game to counter any Tebow factor. (Broncos +3.5)

Jacksonville (-3) @ Indianapolis
CRM – Grantland recently ranked Indianapolis the #1 most curse or depressed or something sports city (link redacted) because Curtis Painter isn’t Peyton Manning or something. I wonder if they get tired of all the math and science it takes to keep the lights on over there? (Jaguars -3)

Lisk – I’ve decided to join the Colts players, and am also giving up on picking the Colts. (Jags -3)

Lisk – Fred Jackson will get revenge for Jerrah destroying his childhood home. (Bills +5.5)

Houston (-3.5) @ Tampa Bay
CRM – Did I tell you guys I quit playing fantasy football weeks ago? I think I’m done. It feels so damn good. (Texans -3.5)

Lisk – This is a straight matchup play. I don’t see the Bucs slowing down the Houston offensive line, especially with McCoy now out for the year. (Texans -3.5)

Tennessee (+3.5) @ Carolina
CRM – Ah, the battle of the Bayou! (Panthers -3.5)

Lisk – I wonder if Cam Newton spent the bye week doing interviews with Peter King. /I always thought bayous were in Louisiana? (Panthers -3.5)

Pittsburgh (-3.5) @ Cincinnati
CRM – With four games remaining against the Ravens and Steelers, it might be time to count the Bengals out. Not because of their schedule, but because they have a freaking ginger quarterback. (Steelers -3.5)

Lisk – I’m just happy that this start has earned Marvin Lewis 5 more years. (Steelers -3.5)

Lisk – Can I copyright the name John Beckdown before it’s too late? (Redskins +4)

New Orleans (-1) @ Atlanta
CRM – So Julio Jones is good again. That should make Matt Ryan stink less. (Falcons +1)

Lisk – The Saints/Falcons series is underrated and the road team tends to play pretty well since they are both dome teams. (Saints -1)

St. Louis (+3) @ Cleveland
CRM – Is this real life? (Browns -3)

Lisk – The showdown that everyone will be talking about on Sunday, as Pat Shurmur goes against the team where he was an assistant. I trust the Rams to improve more than the Browns at this point. (Rams +3)

Arizona (+13.5) @ Philadelphia
CRM – Kevin Kolb’s revenge game! Related: I think that I should be able to play “kolb” in Words With Friends. (Eagles)

Lisk – Who would have believed the Cardinals had the better punt returner before the season? (Cardinals +13.5)

Baltimore (-7) @ Seattle
CRM – I have never been to Seattle, but I’ve always heard wonderful things about the Pacific Northwest. At least it’s not in a fly-over state. (Baltimore -7)

Lisk – Does anyone fly over Glens Falls? Or is it on the road to nowhere? /votes someone off American Idol that Stephen really wants to stay. (Seahawks +7)

Lisk – Lovie Smith would like to throw an ill-advised challenge flag regarding the Bears being only favored by 3. (Bears -3)

New York Giants (+3.5) @ San Francisco
CRM – Solid late game. Good test for the Niners. I just wonder if Eli will get lucky again. (49ers -3.5)

Lisk – If you want to beat San Francisco, you have to cover the linemen. (49ers -3.5)

New England (+1) @ New York Jets
CRM – I can already see myself glaring at the television and turning off my computer by halftime. (Jets -1)

Lisk – The Penn State crisis has limited the amount of game previews on this one. We apologize. (Patriots +1)

Minnesota (+14) @ Green Bay
CRM – I am still shuffling. (Vikings +14)

Lisk – Who’s Aaron Rodgers doing the Double Check Discount with these days? (Packers -14)
