Partial Pigskin Picks, Week 7

Author's note: This post is in an ongoing series of split-personality disorder sports talks, coming from both halves of my brain. Front and back.

Last week:
Jekyll: 1-4
Hyde: 4-1

Season:
Jekyll: 1-4
Hyde: 4-1

Plus, both of them picked the Denver game correctly last week.

GREEN BAY at Minnesota (+1.5)
Jekyll: I learned a valuable lesson last week.
Hyde: Yeah? What was that?
Jekyll: Last week was a season-defining game for the Vikes. They had to prove what they were made of after the boating incident.
Hyde: You mean the one where the left "what they were made of" in small puddles on the deck?
Jekyll: Yes. That one. And they looked completely lifeless, defeated. And I will never pick them for the rest of the season.
Hyde: Even against the Pack? They're not the same Packers this year. I mean, Favre Shmavre, they kinda suck.
Jekyll: Again, I'll repeat it: I will never pick the Vikings this entire year. I'm taking Green Bay.
Hyde: Well this is one we agree on. For once.

Detroit at CLEVELAND (-2.5)
Jekyll: I picked Detroit last week and they almost picked me up. Only lost by a point.
Hyde: Yeah, at home. They're not at Ford Field this week.
Jekyll: Doesn't matter, I'm holding steady to the belief that the Lions are underrated this year.
Hyde: And I'm holding steady to the belief that you're always wrong.
Jekyll: Except with the Vikings.
Hyde: Lucky guess. I'm picking the Browns in this game.

Kansas City at MIAMI (-1.5)
Hyde: I'm never betting against a team that has two quality starting running backs. I like Miami at home in this game.
Jekyll: Hmm... two starting RBs... who does that remind me of... hmm...
Hyde: Don't be an ass.
Jekyll: Oh yeah, I remember now, KANSAS CITY! You dipshit, they have Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson. Did one of them change to nickelback? Linebacker?
Hyde: Shut up. You're the one who picked them to lose to the Redskins of all teams last week.
Jekyll: And I'm atoning for it now. Go Chiefs.

San Diego at PHILADELPHIA (-4)
Hyde: Well, after that pick, I'll LET you take the Eagles in this game.
Jekyll: Whatever, bitch. I'll take them any week. They lose to some easy teams, win against some easy teams, lose to some good teams. I like them at home though.
Hyde: I'm going to go with the San Diego team that won AT New England a few weeks ago. I don't think McNabb is healthy and I don't think they can stop Tomlinson.
Jekyll: Well, Westbrook needs to step up, but I think their D can handle it.
Hyde: That's because you're retarded.
Jekyll: Oh, and one running back can carry the Bolts this year?
Hyde: What was my record last week?
Jekyll: Bite me.

Dallas at SEATTLE (-3.5)
Jekyll: Coming off two straight wins against good teams, I'm picking Parcells and the Cowboys this week.
Hyde: OK, I'll let you ignore for now the fact that those two wins were at HOME, and now they're back up playing in the Pacific Northwest, but you know, whatever, you can pick the Cowboys after two shoddy wins.
Jekyll: Who do the 'Hawks have left at receiver now? Jerry Rice? Lynn Swan? Is Steve Largent coming out of retirement?
Hyde: You don't need top-notch receivers when you have Shaun Alexander, it's an easy win at home against an iffy Cowboys squad.
Jekyll: Iffy? Drew Bledsoe this year is looking like a young Tom Brady.
Hyde: Ouch. Let's end it on that one. That just hurts.

You've reached the bottom of the glass.
