Feverish football predictions
With the Senior Bro laid up with pneumonia and sedated by various pharmaceutical products, it looked as if Sean and Ben might have a health advantage in Week 7 football predictions. After all, it takes at least a couple of functioning brain cells on any given weekend to figure out what's going to happen in the NawFuL, and Glenn's, frying under a 100-degree temperature, barely qualified. Nevertheless, Glenn made a feverish stab at his picks and somehow managed to do not so bad.
Junior and Senior Bros found agreement on every game except one, with Sean taking the 49ers on the road in Houston. It was a tale of two quarterbacks, as in the first half Shaun Hill and the Niners fell behind 21-0. Hill got the hook in the second half in favor of Alex Smith (who most Niner fans had forgotten about), who marched the team up and down the Texas turf and came within a big play of coming all the way back. In the end, it was a Smith interception that allowed the Texans and Glenn to preserve a 24-21 win. Meanwhile, Ben showed what can be accomplished in a drug-free prognostication environment, owning wins by Buffalo, Dallas and Arizona on his way to compiling the bye-shortened week's best record and moving into a tie with his uncle for the season lead. Ben was 10-3, Glenn was second at 9-4, and Sean finished 8-5. There are rumors he may try to contract swine flu this week in an attempt to improve next week's results! Our correct diagnoses included Green Bay, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, New England, the N.Y. Jets and Philadelphia. Our lone DOA pick was Chicago. The only thing looking more anemic than Glenn's palor in Week 7 were some of the lopsided finals, including the Raiders' 38-0 loss to the visiting Jets. But maybe that's understandable for a team that keeps suffering blackouts. |
