FLORIDA ST vs SCAROLINA(-2.5) One of the tougher calls of the bowl season because you never know who is going to show up with these two teams. Will the real Stephen Garcia please stand up!!
-TAKE SOUTH CAROLINA -2.5

LIBERTY BOWL
UCF vs GEORGIA(-7) A six win team is a touchdown favorite over a ten win team here. Always a red flag for me. I have looked down the list of victories for Cent Florida and can not find a very impressive of in the mix. If the Bulldogs decide to show up, which is always the big question in these bowl games, they should be able to overpower the Knights.
-TAKE GEORGIA -7
-TAKE GEORGIA -7
SUN BOWL
NOTRE DAME vs MIAMI(-3) The Irish finished the season winning 3 straight after bad losses to Tulsa and Navy. Miami's season went downhill quickly as that lost 3 out of their last 5 costing Randy Shannon his job. Brian Kelley may be a prick but he is a good coach and should have ND ready to compete here against a Hurricane program in flux.

MIENEKE CAR CARE BOWL
SO. FLORIDA vs CLEMSON(-6) These two teams are mirror images of each other, strong defenses, weak offenses and struggling QB's. Points should be at a premium and under the circumstances I am not anxious to lay a TD.

HOLIDAY BOWL
NEBRASKA(-13)vs WASHINGTON- How MYB hates to lay these kind of points, but we feel we must. The Huskers have lost 4 games by 30 plus points this year, including an early year thumping by these same Cornhuskers.

ALAMO BOWL
ARIZONA vs OKLAHOMA ST(-5) There is a big consensus play on OkSt here and it is understandable considering the way the Wildcats finished their season. However, they have a very capable QB in Nick Foles that helped Arizona average nearly 500 yards of offense per game. I liken this game to the Iowa/Mizzou game in the regard that I think the Cats compete here when others pile on the Cowboys.
-TAKE ARIZONA +5
-TAKE ARIZONA +5
TEXAS BOWL
ILLINOIS(-1.5) vs BAYLOR- This one looks to be an interesting match-up between two bowl starved schools. The high powered Baylor offense behind the arm and legs of Robert Griffin will do battle against the Illini's 11th ranked run offense in the nation. This has the chance to be a very good game and was a tough call for MYB, however, we feel that if Baylor can slow down the running game of Illinois at all the Bears more balanced attack plus a slight home field edge can put the Bears over the top.
-TAKE BAYLOR +1.5
-TAKE BAYLOR +1.5
MILITARY BOWL
EAST CAROLINA vs MARYLAND(68) I hate to make very obvious plays because that is a recipe for disaster on a long term basis. However, sometimes the obvious makes for good odds. East Carolina games have gone over the total in 9 of 12 games this year, including the last five which have averaged a whooping 94 points! Maryland is no defensive stall in and of itself, with 4 of their last 6 going over the total. A rare total play at MYB.
-TAKE E CAR/MARYLAND over 68

INSIGHT BOWL
IOWA vs MIZZOU(-3) Nobody is giving Iowa much of a chance in this one. They finished poorly to end the season and lost key personal at the skill positions due to various factors. They can dominate the line of scrimmage defensively against anyone and Ricky Stanzi has had a solid season completing 65% of his passes. With everyone leaning one way, I will go against the grain on this one. Hawkeyes salvage a disappointing season here.
-TAKE IOWA +3
-TAKE IOWA +3
CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL
NC STATE vs W. VIRGINIA(-3) This will be QB Russell Wilson's biggest test to date against a very stingy Mountaineer defense. West Virginia QB Geno Smith is one of the better young QB's nobody talks about. If Smith can stay away from the turnover that cost his team in a couple games this year, the Mountaineer defense may be the difference maker in this one.
-TAKE WEST VIRGINIA -3

INDEPENDENCE BOWL
Georgia Tech vs. Air Force(-3)- Very tough call here. Both teams will try to beat each other via the triple option, not much throwing going on here today. The Falcons can air it better when needed than the Yellow Jackets can. I am going with the team that may want to be there most and that would be Air Force.
-TAKE AIR FORCE -3 WIN

ALOHA BOWL
We continued our fast start with an easy win last night as San Diego St. took care of business against Navy. That puts us at 5-1 in bowl play thus far. Here is a look at tonight's contest.
TULSA vs. HAWAII(-10)- Two high powered offenses here and points should be a plenty. The Warriors have the home field advantage here with the game being played at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii. This is a tough call, however, Hawaii has shown a little more ability to get a stop defensively on occasion. This coupled with the home advantage should be enough to put the Warriors over the top.

CJ Says....
I will post the entire NFL slate of CJ says tomorrow, but here is a look at Thursday nights game.
CAROLINA @ PITT(-14)- Nice pull for NFL Network. Tough to go against the Steelers in this one coming off a loss and in a battle for first place with the Ravens. Carolina got one under their belt against lowly Arizona on Sunday and we don't think they make it two in a row here. Tough to lay two touchdowns in the NFL, but the possibility of a shut out here forces our hand. PITT 24 CAROLINA 6
***This is not an official MYB NFL play, only a part of my weekly analysis for all NFL games.

THURSDAY BOWL GAME
We are off to a fast start this bowl season. Last nights win puts at at 4-1 for the year. When we factor in last years bowl record, we have now won 24 of 39 for a blazing 61.5%. Tonight we take to battle in the Poinsettia Bowl.
NAVY vs. SAN DIEGO ST.(-3)- This game is a big deal for the Aztecs. They are trying for a 9 win season and nearly pulled off upsets over Utah and at TCU this year. Navy is also having a solid season, but not quite as dominate as some thought before the season began. The triple option offense behind Ricky Dobbs is always feared, but uncharecteristic turnovers and inconsistent play has haunted them in several games this season. Some may be a bit surprised San Diego St. is favored here, but we think the Aztecs can pull this one out.

WEDNESDAY BOWL GAME
Boise St.(-16.5) vs. Utah- The Las Vegas Bowl. Tough sledding here folks. Boise was a shoe in for a New Years Day bowl game this year, if not the National Championship Game, and find themselves playing on a weeknight days before Santa will even make his rounds. Many say this will be a let down game for the Broncos and perhaps they may be right but I say Boise always plays with a chip on their shoulder and tonight should be no different. Utah meanwhile, finished poorly after an early season run against some inferior opponents. The Utes are talented and can not be taken lightly but if the Broncos are all business it could be a long night for the Utes. CJ does not like laying these kind of points, so tread very lightly here, its a long bowl season.

TUESDAY BOWL GAME
Louisville(-2.5) vs. So. Miss- The St Petersburg Bowl? Ugh! Well, here we go. Conference USA vs. The Big East here. The Golden Eagles have been throwing up big numbers averaging over 37 pts. per game, however not much defense being played in conference USA this year. We feel the Cardinals have played a little tougher schedule week in and week out and their defense will provide enough resistance and give their offense enough opportunities to hurt the porous So. Miss defense.

SHOE vs. CJ
A much better week, well, at least for CJ. Shoe continued his struggles and to make matters worse is still laid up in the hoppy. I understand he is improving and hopefully will be able to post his column for this week. Official MYB plays also did very well going 3-0.
Week two of CJ/Shoe challenge now shows CJ with a 7 game advantage. CJ went a blistering 11-5 ATS in week 15, while The Shoe, uncharacteristically, put up a 5-11 week. Hopefully this is a result of the meds he has been taking. I will consider myself fortunate, as we know The Shoe is much better than that. However, my dinner will not be any less enjoyable!

DALLAS @ MIAMI(-7)- Dallas will show up in Miami well rested after a five game home stand. The Mavs are 8-1 on the road and have covered 7 of 9. Meanwhile, the Heat have won 12 straight, however have covered only 5 of 14 at home.

SATURDAY BOWL GAMES
BYU(-11.5) vs. UTEP- BYU took a season that started horribly and turned things around finishing very strong. The Cougars will run the ball and I don't think the Miners can stop them. Lay the points.
-TAKE BYU -11.5 WIN
NIU(-1.5) vs. FRESNO ST.- Add Northern Illinois coach Jerry Kill to the list of coaches bailing on his team before a bowl game. These things usually don't work out well for the orphaned club.
-TAKE FRESNO ST. +1.5 LOSS
OHIO vs. TROY(-1)- Tough call here. The Bobcats will try to run it and the Trojans will attempt to air it out. Both teams are good at what they do offensively, this one will come down to turnovers, whoever wins that battle should win the game.

CJ Says...
Week 15 in the NFL and week two of the CJ-Shoe challenge. CJ holds a narrow one game edge heading into this weeks action. CJ hates to take advantage of the sick, but the show must go on!
CLE @ CIN(-1)- Colt McCoy will be back at the helm for the Browns which should give the Browns offense a lift. Unfortunately, the Cleveland defense that has played its ass off all year looks gased. The effects of injuries and being on the field way too much this year catches up to Rex Ryan's Defense this week. Carson Palmer? Ugh, but yes. CIN 28 CLE 23
WAS @ DAL(-6)- Things are not good in Washington, period. In Dallas, things have improved recently under Jason Garrett. The Pokes will be looking to avenge an early season loss in this heated rivalry and beat up on an unhappy Donovan McNabb.
DAL 27 WAS 16
HOU @ TEN(-1.0)- Tough call here. The Texans are coming off a tough OT loss at home Monday night in a must win game. The Titans have had turmoil all year thanks to another selfish and childish NFL QB. With WR Andre Johnson hurting and a tough turn around for the Texas, I will give the edge to Chris Johnson and Tennessee.
TEN 20 HOU 17
JAX @ IND(-4.5)- Another must win for Peyton Manning. Can the Jaguars beat Indy twice in one year? I say no, Colts in a shootout.
IND 34 JAX 27
KC(-1) @ STL- I don't think the Chiefs have been playing as well as some think, especially as of late. There is still a risk that Cassell is out again this week and we saw the results of that last week. CJ thinks the Rams are the best team in the pathetic NFC West. Rams get by. STL 17 KC 14
BUF @ MIA(-5.5)- Buffalo has managed to be very competitive behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Dolphins have been offensively challenged. CJ say too many points to lay here.
MIA 17 BUF 16
DET @ TB(-4.5)- Lions keep playing well and Josh Freeman and the Bucs keep finding a way to win late in games. "Ground Hog Day". TB 20 DET 13
ARZ @ CAR(-2.5)- Doesn't get much worse than this. Cardinals QB John Skelton win two straight? Just don't work for CJ. CAR 14 ARZ 10
NO @ BAL(-1)- Everyone is dumping on the Ravens right now and piling on the Saints. CJ say not so fast. BAL 24 NO 20
PHIL @ NYG(-3)- Game of the week here. CJ says toss a coin on the winner and take the points. NYG 24 PHI 23
ATL(-6.5) @ SEA- Tough game for the Falcons in Seattle. But the balanced Atlanta attack wears on an awful Seahawk defense giving up over 24 points a game. If Atlanta special teams keep Leon Washington at bay they come home victorious.
ATL 30 SEA 17
DEN @ OAK(-7)- Could this be the debut of Tim Tebow? Kyle Orton's bad play of late may be due to a rib injury suffered a couple weeks ago. Tough to lay the touchdown but I think Oakland win here over a spiriling Bronco team. OAK 24 DEN 14
NYJ @ PIT(-4.5)- Unless Sanchez and the Jets turns it around quickly, this one could be ugly. PIT 20 NYJ 10
GB @ NE(-10)- What a shame, this was set up to be a heck of a game, but with Aaron Rodgers possibly out again, can't see Pack getting over on the Hoodie. I am going to assume Rodgers does not play, be sure to check out the lateset news before laying those points. NE 27 GB 10
CHI(-3.5) @ MIN- Niether team seems like they want to play in this one. A Monday Night affair at the University of Minnesota. Nightmarish! CHI 17 MIN 6
CLE @ CIN(-1)- Colt McCoy will be back at the helm for the Browns which should give the Browns offense a lift. Unfortunately, the Cleveland defense that has played its ass off all year looks gased.

Before I post my selection for tonight I would like to wish The Shoe a speedy recovery, he is resting well, actually a little to well from what I understand.
SF @ SD(-9.5)- San Diego is back to business and needs another win. Attention Niners, you can't play Arizona and Seattle every week. Back to reality for Alex Smith and San Fran. will soon realize how much they miss Frank Gore. Shoe's unabating love for coach Singletary will bite him in the ass. SD 24 SF 13

SHOE VS. CJ
It was another tough week all around in the wacky NFL. Backdoor covers, no name QB's, hurt QB's, collapsing domes and a OT pick six all contributed to MYB's pain.
In Week One of our friendly challenge CJ edged Shoe, both ATS and SU. I came in at
6-10 ATS, 11-5 SU, while Shoe went 5-11 ATS, 10-6 SU. Holding a slim lead going into Week Two I have offer Shoe some wisdom; trust The Hoodie!!!!!
I will have bowl game analysis soon. Last year we went 20-14 on the bowls, so check back for your winners.

SHOE'S CORNER
NFL WEEK #14 2010
For those of you who followed Shoe's original post (Wednesday-email) ATS last week; I sure hope you won your Football Pool!! If you didn't there is one lucky bastard in your pool, cause any week you go 11-5 ATS it's normally a winner!! Unfortunately for those of you who might have utilized The Corner for individual plays after Shoe's adjustments, I sure hope you chose the 8 winners, and not the 8 losers!
Shoe has decided as MYB is working thru its' adjustments this year, to not adjust his original post anymore!!
CJ's Demise:
INDY-3@TENN - Indy's last stand, win or fall out of the playoffs. Tennessee same issue, but with no star power or story line, Shoe just doesn't see Tennessee finishing this game nor the season well at all. INDY48-TENN24
CLEVE@BUFF-1 - Peyton Hillis against the worst Run D in the NFL? I know, I know it's the same ole Shoe cry for RUN THE DAMN BALL!! Let's hope the Jackals in the Browns Coaching staff want to keep their jobs! CLEVE24-BUFF21
GBAY-6.5@DET - GBAY needs this win, and will be way too much for the Lions who play hard from week to week, but just can't get it done. GBAY27-DET17
NYG-2.5@MINN - NYG looks to build on last weeks success and stay in the divisional hunt. The Vikings have only a gimpy Peterson, and will not compete in this game. NYG24-MINN13
CINCY@PITT-9 - Remember last year? God I hope Cincy doesn't!! It's a lot of points in this rivalry, but Shoe stay steadfast.... PITT35-CINCY9
TBAY-2.5@WASH - Don't be surprised if Shannahan gets the boot real soon. TBAY24-WASH20
ATL-7.5@CAR - The Falcons are the real deal, and might be looking ahead in this game, but looking ahead at what? Seattle? I don't think so! ATL48-CAR13
OAK@JAX-4.5 - Jag's playing well keep it rolling, but beware the back door cover! JAX24-OAK21
SEAT@SF-5.5 - Interesting game here, Smith is back, yes the Smith, Alex Smith! It is X-Mas and I'll take the Mormon to win here, but the Hawks keep it close... SF17-SEAT13
STL@NO-9 - The Rams have been a bit of a surprise with young Bradford at the helm, their D has played well, and they can run the football- all worry some for a NO team who has shown themselves to falter when needed to win! NO38-STL20
NENG-3@CHIC - How does Chicago keep doing what they are doing?!?! Please Lord don't make the Shoe a fool.....Hoodie, you piss Shoe off this week, and he's sending the Alexander Sosa style hit! CHIC27-NENG20
MIA@NYJ-6 - J E T S Jets Jets Jets- Tis the season for the better teams to play better than the losers! Jets revive themselves after an embarrassment. NYJ28-MIA9
DEN-3.5@ARIZ - Crap game, crap crap crap....Shoe goes with the rookie, bucking the "new coach" winning trend! ARIZ20-DEN13
KC@SD-7 - WOW What disrespect for KC from the odds makers!! Shoe say in your face favorite chasers.... SD17-KC14
PHILLY-3.5@DALL - Dallas looking better, but still not confident enough to put together a full game. Philly comes from behind in this one... PHILLY24-DALL20
BALT-4@HOUS - Baltimore took it on the chin last week after leading the game against Pitt up until the last minute! Boy are they pissed!! But not pissed enough! HOUS24-BALT21

NENG-3@CHIC - How does Chicago keep doing what they are doing?!?! Please Lord don't make the Shoe a fool.....Hoodie, you piss Shoe off this week, and he's sending the Alexander Sosa style hit! CHIC27-NENG20
MIA@NYJ-6 - J E T S Jets Jets Jets- Tis the season for the better teams to play better than the losers! Jets revive themselves after an embarrassment. NYJ28-MIA9
DEN-3.5@ARIZ - Crap game, crap crap crap....Shoe goes with the rookie, bucking the "new coach" winning trend! ARIZ20-DEN13
KC@SD-7 - WOW What disrespect for KC from the odds makers!! Shoe say in your face favorite chasers.... SD17-KC14
PHILLY-3.5@DALL - Dallas looking better, but still not confident enough to put together a full game. Philly comes from behind in this one... PHILLY24-DALL20
BALT-4@HOUS - Baltimore took it on the chin last week after leading the game against Pitt up until the last minute! Boy are they pissed!! But not pissed enough! HOUS24-BALT21

CJ Says...
Shoe should know, that when CJ has a freebie coming, he will starve himself for days so he better start squirling the cash away. So without further ado, here we go. Picks for NFL Week#14:
INDY(-3)@ TEN- Wow, NFL Network didn't see this one coming! Peyton "Pick Six" Manning vs. "The Invisible" Chris Johnson. The Colts have been saddled with injuries all year and it has definitely shown in their play. The Titans meanwhile, are more concerned about babysitting QB Vince Young than retaining coach Jeff Fisher, bad move. Titans in a December spiral and Manning and the Colts with their back against the wall, not that hard.
INDY 27 TEN 17
GB(-6.5)@ DET- The Lions have scared opponents all year despite their lousy record. The problem is Aaron Rodgers has been scarier, especially if you have to face him in the first round of your fantasy playoffs, damn! Well enough about my problems. The Pack can ill afford to let down here as the Bears continue to lead the way in the NFC North. It won't help the Lions that QB Drew Stanton will be pressed into action. The Lions may be frisky for a while but, Air Rodgers strikes early and often.GB 38 DET 13
OAK @ JAX(-4)- A couple of the more curious teams in the league this year. The "Cable Man" has alternated between rumored to fired and possible Coach of the Year candidate. Meanwhile the Jaguars have the inside track on the AFC South title, no that is not a misprint. After an emotionally charged upset of San Diego and the long trek across country, the Raiders may find themselves on empty. JAX 20 OAK 13
CIN @ PIT(-9)- The Bengals, Carson Palmer and Marvin Lewis all have one thing in common, they stink. Their defense has been, well, stinky. Terrell Owens is flapping his gums and criticizing the play calling (can't believe it has taken him this long). News flash for T.O. The Bengals won't win anything giving up 27 points a game no matter how many times they throw you the ball. As for Pitt, Big Ben is hurting from head to toe, literally, and the Steelers offense has struggled the last two weeks. Helloooooo Bengals! PIT 23 CIN 10
ATL(-7.5) @ CAR- It is my belief that the real Super Bowl contenders roll when the calender turns to December. I consider the Falcons to be in that grouping. With Carolina head coach John Fox on his way out the door, the Panthers will crawl to the finish line this year. No basis for upset expectations here, Falcons eke out a cover. ATL 21 CAR 10
CLE @ BUF(-1)- News flash for Jake Delhomme , it will be tough to throw the ball in snow ridden Buffalo this weekend, hand the damn ball to Hillis and when you do have to throw try throwing to the guys on your team, works much better that way. Buffalo is being overcome with injuries. If the Browns can manage their way across I 90, they should emerge from the snow with a "W", but it wont be pretty.CLE 16 BUF 13
TB(-2) @ WAS- Its Christmas time and Donovan McNabb has visions of DeSean Jackson dancing in his head. Wake up Donovan, that is a weapon of years gone by. Unfortunately the Skins will have to take the field with what they have and that isn't much offensively. For the Bucs, they keep surprising people. This week Josh Freeman pulls out another one. TB 20 WAS 16
NYG(-2.5)@ MIN- Farve is playing, he is not playing, quite frankly I am sick of it and really could care less. As for Eli manning and the Giants, we never quite know what we are going to get. Everyone seems to think the Giants are putting it back together just in time for the stretch run, just the perfect time for Mr. Hyde to rare its ugly head. MIN 24 NYG 20
STL @ NO(-9)- Bradford and the Rams have definitely surprised folks with their play. The Saints have won five straight since their loss to the Browns, but have not looked overpowering in doing so. That being said this is the third in a row on the road for St. Louis and the Saints eventually pull away from the tiring Rams. NO 31 STL 17
SEA @ SF(-5.5)- Who the hell knows! The other Smith at QB for the Niners and another road game for the Seahawks, ugh. I'll take the insurance.
SF 16 SEA 13
KC @ SD(-7)- Not all the way sold on the Chiefs yet. They have played one team with an above .500 record and that was way back in October against the Texans, the result a loss. The Chargers will be in a foul mood after last weeks disaster against the Raiders. Couple that with a possible Brodie Croyle siting as Matt Cassell recovers from an appendectomy earlier this week and it could be a long day for the Chiefs. SD 27 KC 14
MIA @ NYJ(-5.5)- The Dolphins picked a bad week to travel to the Jets. New York will be focused after that Hoodie lashing on Monday Night and the 'Phins flat out look like crap right now. NYJ 24 MIA 10
DEN(-3.5) @ ARZ- Dear God. I don't know what will be worse, SF/SEA or this train wreck of a game. One coach was fired, one is going to get fired. I'll take Kyle Orton over whoever will be throwing ducks this week for the Cardinals. DEN 28 ARZ 13
NE(-3) @ CHI- CJ has a rule. Whenever choosing between Jay Cutler and "The Hoodie", CJ picks Hoodie. NE 24 CHI 17
PHI(-3.5) @ DAL- The Jason Garrett led Cowboys look much better. The Pokes will played inspired and give Philly a run for the money but the loss of Dez Bryant will hurt. Conversely, the Eagle wideouts will be too much to handle for the Dallas secondary. PHI 28 DAL 20
BAL(-4) @ HOU- Very tough call here. The Raven offense has been under performing. Houston has played well in spots and really needs a win to have any chance in the AFC South. This one should be entertaining and I think the books have this right on the money. We'll take the points. BAL 23 HOU 20

CJ just doesn't learn
Sorta like a blonde, CJ just doesn't learn...
After this exercise is over, CJ can tell the story about the last time he "bet"
The Shooooooooooooooooooooe, after he buys Dinner at Momocho's!

MYB UPDATE
Starting this week, I thought it would be fun to have CJ post a column a la "Shoe" and continue it for the last few weeks of the season. A little entertainment value to go along with our game analysis perhaps. While I am at it, I am calling out "The Shoe". Dinner to the winner with the best record ATS at the end of the regular season. Do not fret, we will have our official MYB picks posted as usual. Let the games begin!

MYB UPDATE
Yikes! Another bad week in the NFL for MYB. All it took was two bad weeks to drop us from 58% to 52%. Draw downs will happen and we have for more weeks of regular season to right the ship and MYB fully expects to deliver.
We will also start rolling out our 2010-11 Bowl analysis. Last year MYB hit on 20 out of the 34 bowls, a 59% clip. A $100 better would have pocketed $460 and that will pay for a few Christmas presents! Stay tuned.

SHOE'S CORNER
NFL WEEK #13 2010
What a tangled web we weave....
Two weeks in a row Shoe's corner goes 7-9 ATS; dropping to 57.6% on the year ATS. Mind you, that is picking every game ATS!! Really not too shabby, but not SHOE WORTHY...this week Shoe gets back on track!
First let's have a little talk about the NFL this year....it's a freaking soap opera, and I'm getting sick of it. Derek Anderson, there is no laughing in football- NONE!! Bill Parcell's=Quitter!! Minnesota Fans, seriously you should try to be a Cleveland Browns fan for a day!! Titans...Rusty? Seriously, "Look kids, Big Ben!!"
Prepare this week to be stunned folks- it's upset Sunday!!
HOUS@PHILLY-8.5 - There is absolutely no way Philly loses this game. Houston beat Rusty, Philly beats the Texans in an epic broke back love affair; Vick shove in it the wrong hole here! PHILLY41-HOUS17
BUFF@MINN-6.5 - Is it me, or are the Bills one of the best 2-9 teams you have ever seen? Every week they compete, now if only they could play a team whose QB is a drama Queen! Whammo!! BUFF28MINN24
CLEVE@MIA-4.5 - Jake Delhomme stinks, Miami stinks at home; who stinks worse? Shoe really wants to take Miami here in his eliminator, but really does not want another heart attack this weekend.... MIA24-CLEVE16
JAX@TENN-3 - Don't be surprised if Jax ends up the favorite here. Trusty Rusty is n ot the answer... JAX24-TEN17
DEN@KC-9 - Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine...WTF?!? What kind of divisional game we talking here?!? KC34-DEN23
WASH@NYG-7 - All points bulletin for Eli Manning, if you have seen this missing person, please call the NYPD. Please be aware that the primary suspect is Donovan McNabb- armed and dangerous... Whammo!! WASH20-NYG17
CHIC-3@DET - Yet another 2-9 team that does not deserve its' record!! That being said, Detroit finds a way every week to quit in the fourth quarter. Not this week, as Cutler will help them stay charged up with a couple/tree picks and one for a six!! Whammo!! DET17-CHIC9
SF@GBAY-9 - GBAY lost a tough one at Atlanta this week, and Shoe expects some vengeance in this one. SF might hang for a little while, but once the dust comes off the Packers they run away with it... GBAY27-SF20
NO-7@CINCY - No expectations here from Cincy, but buyer beware on the Saints!! Whammo!! CINCY35-NO31
OAK@SD-13.5 - Oakland has shown promise this year, but they look like their running out of steam. Can they pull off a huge upset at SD? Shoe say no whammo here, although the points are enticing.... SD21-OAK10
ATL-3@TBAY - Kudos to the TB Buccaneers for a fantastic 1st half of the season. Who'd a thunk it?!? Atlanta will find themselves in a tough one this week, but Matty Ice is growing into his stardom.... ATL24-TBAY20
CAR@SEAT-6 - All you LOSERS out there think the Panthers are the eliminator loser of the week, get bent!! READ IT AND WEEP....WHAMMO!! CAR20-SEAT17
DALL@INDY-5.5 - Tough call here...Indy is a one man team, but unfortunately that one man can not rise to the occasion every week. Obviously in the world of the NFL, anything can happen, at any time...Shoe says the 12th man plays a big role in this game, while the fans realize old man Kitna has run his course... INDY34-DALL17
STL-3.5@ARIZ - Similar situation in this game in comparison to the CAR/SEAT game, however one difference is the visitor is favored. Shoe does not know why, except for the fact that the Cardinals looked atrocious on prime time Monday Night against the Niners, Derek Anderson please don't laugh, 'cause Shoe says Whammo!! ARIZ38-STL35
PITT@BALT-3.5 - The Steelers found themselves in deep trouble last week, as they overlooked the Bills, knowing this game against The Ravens on Prime Time is for "the prize"!! Baltimore has been a strange bird this season, and doesn't have what it takes to beat the newly focused Steelers... Whammo!! PITT24-BALT13
NYJ@NENG-3 - I HATE THE HOODIE, I HATE THE HOODIE, I HATE THE HOODIE... NENG28-NYJ20
***Special note from Shoe... While there are many lines yet to be set, and quite of few injuries to be sorted out, Shoe Corner may change prior to Sunday's Games. Also in the future, look for Shoe's "Bet the House" locks, in which he has gone 7-1 this season, but unfortunately have not been posted that way, however, they have been posted in combination with MYB NFL Plays, which have been successful with an overall 25-20 record this year. Shoe's "Bet the House" locks come few and far between, and are not weekly, nor are single plays, but sometimes come in twos and threes at a time... GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!
