Question #89: Who do you like?

October

Sam and I both had stellar 6-7-1 weeks with our NFL picks. Oh, well, we did better with our second live internet chat, which you can still see here (just don’t try to ask questions, because this was live yesterday). We’re going to be doing that every couple of weeks, maybe weekly if it does well, so we’ll keep you posted before our next show.

In the meantime, I went off on a bunch of topics in my month-in-review column in today’s Journal News and on LoHud.com. You can see it here.

OK, I just wanted to show that we (or I) can do things other than pick football games.

This week I see a Giants victory. I could imagine Dallas giving it a go, but I could also imagine the Giants putting Brad Johnson on his fanny six or seven times and blowing out the Boys. Big Blue should be all fired up for this one, although it’s hard to imagine Antonio and the guys being unable to use the “nobody gave us a chance” card.

The Jets? I’ve been wrong on them pretty much every week, but I’m pretty confident they leave Buffalo with an L (and maybe a bucket of wings).

Season standings:
Sam 59-53-3—
Carp 55-57-3 4GB
