Smooth Jimmy vs. The Shark Week 2

Smooth Jimmy vs. The Shark Week 2

After a rough opening weekend, 1-2 for the Shark and 2-1 for Smooth Jimmy, we will see if we can get you guys some real money this week.

Smooth Jimmy

(Smooth Jimmy is unavailable today. Apparently after winning his TCU bet last night he took the late flight out to Las Vegas. Jimmy was nice enough to call his good buddy Hubie Brown, who was able to fax me his pick from Ruby II’s down in Bridgeport where he was enjoying the “2 Dances for 1” and lunch special)

Hey Guys, Hubie Brown here. You know what you’re saying to yourself. You like Hubie, he’s good a guy and but how is he going to help me with my picks. Hopefully you look at my hair, see its perfect, and realize you’re rolling with the smoothest operator. A guy with perfect hair like me has gotta have picks with upside…so here my picks

Minnesota +3 Cincinnati - Now. You’re the Minnesota Vikings. You just lost a terrible game to the Bucs and your wondering how you can win this week when you lost arguably your best player in Randy Moss in the off-season, and you’re coached by a guy who’s dumb enough to sells his Super Bowl tickets for less than face value? Then you realize your playing the Bengals. TAKE THE VIKES AND THE POINTS .

Carolina -1 New England - Ok, now you’re the Panthers. You have the best D in the league and all people want to talk about his how injury prone your RB’s and all the problems that you’ve had to deal with since the Super Bowl two years ago. You got the defending champs in your building and your coming off a tough loss. You know how you win this game? By posting up…Julius Peppers… on Tom Brady…You give the ball… to the big fella…and let him go to work. TAKE CAROLINA, GIVE THE POINT ..(HOPE JULIUS PEPPERS DOESN’T GET INTO FOUL TROUBLE)

Atlanta +1 Seattle - Now. You know how much I love the Falcons. Michael Vick’s upside is unlimited! The Seahawks are just not on the same level as the Falcons. My hair loves the Falcons and their unlimited upside. This one will be the biggest blow out since I blew out my perm in 86 when I coached the Knickerbockers. TAKE THE FALCONS, TAKE THE POINT , TAKE THE POINT, GO TO MY GIRL AT SUPERCUTS LAQUISHA, AND ASK FOR THE HUBIE B.

Thanks Hubie. Smooth Jimmy may or may not be back in time for next week’s picks…Stay tuned for a Vegas update later on…..

The Shark

Once again I find myself liking very few games this weekend. Sometimes it is better to pass on a few games rather than force them. I htink anyone who puts money on the Saints-Giants game is asking for trouble. Is it a home game, away game, will the fans they flew up from New Orleans big a factor? Too many questions, no answers, stay away. Here are some I do like.

San Diego +2.5 Denver : I think Denver is in trouble, I don't like there defense, I don't like the running back situation, and when you add all of that up, you get jake Plummer tryingto do too much. I.E. throw left-handed passes. On the other hand, Antonio Gates is back. This should free up LDT for some more catches and yardage. Champ Bailey is banged up and Drew Brees can exploit that. Take the Chargers plus the points .

Atlanta +1 Seattle : I think we have seen this before. The Seahawks are alreayd falling apart. The Falcons look like the real deal. Their defense is definitely the real deal and I think that will be the difference. The Falcons defense will hold the Seahawks offense in check enough for the Falcons offense to win the game. Take the Falcons and the point .

Jacksonville +9 Indianapolis : I would be very disappointed if the Jags couldn't cover this. They are ready to take it to the next level and a close game with Indianapolis is a must. The Jags gave the Colts fits last year. The Jags offense is pretty solid and their defense is top notch. I look for a 21-20 type game. Take the Jags and the points .
