Now that's the way to handle it.....

Introducing:

James Joseph Cialella

"an inspiration to angry fans everywhere....."

Mr. Cialella (fittingly from Philadelphia) is accused of shooting a person in a movie theater because he was angry that the man in front of him was talking.  Of course, he was probably angry that his girlfriend forced him to go see "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."  (see the Top's early post on Romantic Comedies).  We can hear the reviews now.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll take a bullet in the arm......

A stinging drama that really grips your heart......

Bring some tissues to this painful story of human suffering (you can use them to soak up the blood!)

There will be more blood in Philadelphia today when the Eagles kick off to the visiting Dallas Cowboys, in what has been a circus of a build-up.

Dallas -1.5

Over/Under 42.5

Who knows which Tony Romo will show up?  Who knows which Donovan McNabb will show up?  Will this be the Dallas Defense who stepped up against Pittsburgh? Will Barber play? Will Witten play? Will it matter for the Eagles? (It won't, because Tampa isn't losing at home to the Raiders!)

There are so many questions surrounding this one, that a timid approach is recommended. Nah.

Take the Eagles and take the over

McNabb is on the last year of his contract and Romo is a professional CHOKE.

New England-6 at Buffalo

Over/Under 41.5

We really don't get this spread.  The Patriots are firing on all cylinders and Buffalo is in shambles.  It's quite possible the Patriot defense may win this one on their own!

Take New England and take the OVER ( which is our best bet of the week).

Poor Jacksonville.  Early dark horses to win the Superbowl.  Now traveling to Baltimore in a must win game for the Rams.  This is going to be a slaughter.

Jacksonville +12

Over/Under 36

Skip the over/under--Baltimore has been crazily erratic from a scoring standpoint.  But back it up on the Ravens.

Miami Dolphins +3 at the Jets

Over/Under 43

Easily the most interesting game of the day as Chad Pennington plays the last game of the season against the team that ditched him.  The Jets (rhymes with Mets) have folded the last three weeks. They needed a miracle to beat the Bills and they got manhandled by the 49ers and Broncos.  Yecch.

The Dolphins show up here and we like the over.

And finally---

Denver +8 at San Diego

Over/Under 50

Who's kidding who?  Only a fool would bet a make or break game with an 8 point spread.  But this game went to 39-38 when they first met.  Neither team has a defense unless they are playing the Raiders.

Bet the over.

Well, that's it for now.  Try to take it easy on the Coors Light.  You've got 11 hours of football to watch and we need you upright!

Happy Hunting, and,

Go Stuff!
