artie_langeArtie Lange is one of our favorite comedians. He’s hilarious on the Howard Stern show, and even if you don’t have Sirius, then you’re probably familiar with his work on Letterman, Conan, Beer League, or, perhaps most famously, the Joe Buck Show. We spoke to him in August about an idea that would blend two of his great passions: Sports and picking games. So each Friday this season, he’ll pick three NFL locks.

Last week: 1-2 (mired in for 2-13 funk)
Season to date: 13-17

New York Jets +10.5 at New England. Come on Jets at least cover!
Indianapolis Colts -1 at Baltimore. Cause they have the cute Manning
Detroit Lions -3.5 vs. Cleveland. I HAD to pick a team in the “Suck Bowl”

Looking for a stocking stuffer? Artie’s DVD, Jack and Coke, would be ideal.

We’ll end this post with a line Norman Chad always applied to his picks column: These picks are for recreational purposes only and should not be used as the basis for any actual cash wager.
