NFL Pigskin Pigsplosion Preview: Week 9
NFL, Pigskin Pigsplosion November 6th. 2009, 2:15pm
Shhhh… I want everyone to be very quiet. Don’t say a word. Don’t even read this post. OK?
OK, are you gone yet? Super. Why did I want you to leave? Because you ruined my picks. Yes, you. Wait, you left. No one is reading this. Perfect. See, going into last week I had an amazing fake gambling record of 53-50. Read it again: 53-50. Let that sink into your mind grapes for a few moments.
That’s right, I was a stupendous 3 games over .500. If you followed my gambling advice all season, you would probably have been around even for the year. (Depending on the ratio of underdogs to favorites that I correctly guessed predicted.) You might have won some, you might have lost some. Either way, I didn’t lead you to financial ruin.
Until last week when you people crushed me! Why? Why must you ruin my stellar picks record? Things were going splendidly. (THREE games above Five-Hundred!) Then everyone said, “Hey, you know what is a good idea? I think a good idea would be to read CRM’s pigsplosion post and then take note of the teams he picked to win. Perhaps if I had a online gambling account I will wager on the teams that he had picked to win.”
I call this the Jerry O’Connell Jerr-O Corollary.
See, Jerry O’Conn…er… Jerr-O is the closest thing I have to a celebrity friend. We don’t watch games together or anything, but I know that he was in a television show called Carpoolers. Somehow, this changed the outcomes of football games last Sunday. I’m still working on the “how,” but believe me, this is real.
So anyway, if you snuck back into this post and are actually reading this - Get the fuck out of here! You’re going to ruin another week’s worth of picking genius. You think I publish this post that 10’s of 20’s of people read so that people will know what I’m guessing this week? Fuck and no.
Bye Week: Bills, Browns, Vikings, Jets, Raiders, Rams
That’s a lot of mediocrity and suck, my friends. (Waves at Mark Sanchez) Unless you have a lot of Vikings, you shouldn’t be missing much this week. Either way, The Hazean has plug-and-play suggestions and calls Jamaal Charles “sexy.” (/nttawwt)
Pigsplosion!
Everyone Point At The Fraud!
Donovan McNabb drank Eli Manning’s milkshake. (Too topical?) Manning went 20-39 with 2 picks and the Giants found themselves on the ass-end of an ass-kicking.
Game Manager of the Week
Vince Young is alive, shirtless and selling shoes again. OK, maybe he’s not back to selling shoes, but he went 15-18 for 125 yards and a score and his team rolled in his first start since the Rose Bowl*. (*Approximate) Just keep handing the ball to Chris Johnson.
Something Something Pointless Hot Chick
This is Candice Swanepoel(?)? She’s some sort of angel.
Movie Time! (New Feature!)
Each Friday a new slew of shit opens at the box office. Starting today, I’ll be discussing one or more of those films in the Pigsplosion. Today, we talk The Box.
If someone showed up at my door tomorrow with a box and told me they would give me a million dollars if I pushed the button inside the box, but someone would die, I would knock the fucking table over trying to push that button. Seriously. I know there’s some crazy twist, but who cares? I’m going to be too busy buying a jet ski to worry - and I don’t even like jet skis.
Picksplosion’em
Last Week: 4-9 (**Your fault!**)
Overall: 57-59
ATLANTA (-10.5) over Washington
Welcome to Atlanta.
Arizona (+3.5) over CHICAGO
Did you know Chicago is hosting the Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers event? Well, if you didn’t there’s a preview coming later today!
CINCINNATI (-3.5) over Baltimore
Now, this is a t-shirt.
INDIANAPOLIS (-9.5) over Houston
I feel like this is the year where Matt Schaub take the MVP away from Peyton Manning. It starts with a 10-point loss on Sunday!
Kansas City (+6.5) over JACKSONVILLE
There’s only one Larry Johnson in my eyes and he used to dress like an old lady.
TAMPA BAY (+10.5) over Green Bay
How do pirates keep their glasses from falling off?
Miami (+10.5) over NEW ENGLAND
I must consume this alcoholic beverage. Someone make this happen for me.
NEW ORLEANS (-14.5) over Carolina
Jake Delhomme’s season numbers: 5 TD, 13 Int, 14 sacks, 59% Comp, 2 Fum Lost
Detroit (+10.5) over SEATTLE
Does. Not. Want.
San Diego (+3.5) over NEW YORK GIANTS
I hope New York realizes that the fall of the Giants is karmic payback for the Yankees. I almost feel sorry for Mets/Giants fans. OK, that’s a lie.
SAN FRAN (-5.5) over Tennessee
This is a magical picture, I tell you what.
PHILLY (+3.5) over Dallas
Sam Smith thinks McNabb is going to go to New England to play alongside Tom Brady.
DENVER (+3.5) over Pittsburgh
The two best quarterbacks in the league face off. I truly believe that.

Kyle Orton one of the best quarterbacks in the league? Somebody shoot me!
November 6th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Three games above .500?
Lets see, 100 per game * 53 = 5300. Subtract from that 110 (standard juice)per game * 50 = 5500. So, down $200 for the year? Not bad. If you were betting. If
November 6th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
if that box thing was real, Id be hospitalized with carpal tunnel from pushing that button so much.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
LOL!!!!
November 6th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
the NFL took a fat shit on the bye week this week, wowzers
November 6th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
only 2 good teams. i think they did a fantastic job
November 6th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Whatever it takes.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
i’m taking BYE (-14.5) over the browns
November 6th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Very nice post. I can’t wait to read it again in Now I Can Die In Peace, 2018 Marlins edition
November 6th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Posnanski with the most reasonable Yankee hate I’ve ever read. The entire middle section about winning in baseball is what I think 80% of baseball fans completely don’t understand.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
TST - Every sport needs a villain TST. Just like the NFL has Brett Favre.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
vitale interesting cat. probably will post mon or tues.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Will the post include a count on the awesomes/babys?
November 6th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
DOES HE ANSWER IN ALL CAPS BABY!!!!!!!!
November 6th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
OTL first report, LeBron going on the road to play a shitty team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/fuck espn
November 6th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
I’m liking the MIA and GB lines (seriously, someone’s going to take Josh Freeman in his first ever start for a team that already sucks and less than 2 TD’s)?
November 6th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
And then, if you are a not a Yankees fan, you will want to throw up.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Aaand just as I click on the Pigsplosion, I hear of the first comfirmed case of swine flu in my office. Eerie.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
re: the yankees spending more money than anyone else.
salary caps and parity are un-American.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
GB(-10), Bal(-3), (Ten +5.5)
November 6th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
a salary cap would only help the Yankees. We’re being saved from true Yankee dominance right now.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
That’s some quality satire you got going on there, CRM. Well done.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
That chick’s panties don’t match her top, gross.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
TST that was a pretty good article.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
You definitely owe us the Rest of the Season for Free.
Tampa Bay? Tampa Bo maybe, but lay the 10 and take the Pack.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
wow. there is nothing pointless about that chick. she is smoking.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Are you talking about the pictured chick?
November 6th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Nailed it, right down to the parody of the Adam Carolla non-name drop name drop. Bravo, sir, bravo.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
What part of PA?
November 6th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
I want more Hot Chicksplosion. Forget the picks!

Harrisburg here. Lucky a small office. Al’s Diamond Caberet still there?
November 6th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
HA. Yeah Al’s is still here, unfortunately.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Last time I was there, it had started to go down hill. That was about 8 years ago. Only imagine now. H-burg finally got an “establishment” in the city. Just waiting for a shooting.

This could be a Kevin Duckworth moment but New Mexico Lobo’s soccer player Elizabeth Lambert has been “Suspended Indefinitely” for compressing Bill Laimbeer’s entire career into one match

Her apology, while written by someone else, was not half bad.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
God of War III Carnage, yes please.
