With a couple short hours until I bail for the weekend wedding circuit, I *almost* forgot to publish my NFL picks for the “2004 Kick Angry Pete’s<\/a> Ass-A-Thon”. So here goes:<\/p>\n

Houston at KANSAS CITY – Despite holding out any information on Priest Holmes injury status, and pissing off millions of fantasy football players who bench him during his 121 yard, 3 TD performance, the Chiefs finally break into the win column.<\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA at Detroit – Even playing this one in Detroit, McNabb-to-Owens will remind the Lions that they’re still the Lions. (And maybe T.O. will stay in bounds this time.)<\/p>\n

BALTIMORE at Cincinnati – In a perfect world, the words “stadium implosion” would appear in Monday morning’s game recap.<\/p>\n

Arizona at ATLANTA – Going into Atlanta is murderous. Just ask Ray Lewis.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville at TENNESSEE – Has Fred Taylor given up yet? (Titans score the most points of any team this week with a 38 point effort.)<\/p>\n

New Orleans at ST. LOUIS – I really like N.O. in this one, but its hard to pick against the Rams in the Lou.<\/p>\n

CLEVELAND at NY Giants – Since the jinx was disproven last week, the Browns will come out with more fire than a TLC appearance at Andre Rison’s house. The losing starts next week.<\/p>\n

Chicago at MINNESOTA – Expect the Bears to pull two upsets in a row, much less a decade? I don’t think so. Besides, with Mike Brown out, who’s going to spark their defense? Hell, who’s even ON their defense? (Aside, of course, from Chunky Soup poster boy Brian Urlacher.)<\/p>\n

PITTSBURGH at Miami – Pittsburgh doesn’t do much for me, except make me want to vomit. But Miami is just that bad.<\/p>\n

San Diego at DENVER – High scoring game of the week, but Broncos still pull it out by 17.<\/p>\n

San Francisco at SEATTLE – Please, please, please let Shaun Alexander be healthy and score 4 touchdowns. Please?<\/p>\n

Green Bay at INDIANAPOLIS – The Pack tries to shake memories of sucky-ness last week against the Bears, while Indy is still pissy about blowing that game in New England. The Colts pissyness beats the Packers’ pissyness by 10.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay at OAKLAND – Note to Jon Gruden: Stay away from the folding chairs in the bullpen.<\/p>\n

Dallas at WASHINGTON – The Vinny Train starts to come untracked. Clinton Portis is no William Green, which is a good thing for the ‘Skins.<\/p>\n

And in bonus action, tonight under the lights in DeKalb, IL… Bowling Green 37, NIU 24. (And why is it that every time I picture the field at N. Illinois, I get images of a football field cut out of the corn, like the ball diamond in field of dreams? I don’t know where they expect to put all the fans on those rickety homemade bleachers, but it should be a good ball game and a happy bus ride home for the brown and orange.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
