Delinquent Week 12 Picks

This is terrible. To the loyal Krukster.com reader(s), my sincere apologies for not posting these earlier. You know, like, before the games were actually played. We each made our picks before the games were played. But as I had a grand voyage from Virginia to Ohio with no internet access, these had to wait.

Since these games have been completed, I have bolded the point spread winners.

Last Week:

Joe: 10-6 (50-49 overall)

Mike: 10-6 (55-44 overall)

Week 12 Picks

Houston (+3) at Cleveland

Joe: CLE. I'm a little afraid we may feel the rath of Sage Rosenfels, I mean, there are firsts for everything. That's kind of like the wrath of a child, you know they are pissed and trying with all there might but all their effort makes no difference because they lack in key areas. I'm hoping for 30+ points each since Mr. Michael Miller and I will be in the stands (albeit way farther away from the field than I had hoped), thanks for the tickets bro.
Mike: CLE. Team MVPs Josh Cribbs, Steve Heiden, James Harrison, Shawn Rogers and Phil Dawson will lead the way in this high scoring game.

Buffalo (-3) at Kansas City

Joe: KC. Buffalo continues its slide. The Browns game will be the last chance at a win for Buffalo as the city of Toronto licks its French-Canadian lips (whorishly) awaiting this NFL franchise's (franchii) arrival in 2012. Who didn't feel a little bad for Jim Kelly last monday as he had to watch in-person as another game-winning 47yd FG sails wide right?? I know as a Cleveland fan, it felt like a loss to me. On a brighter note it made me remember those great Buffalo teams of the early 90s, most notably I missed Darryl Talley's Sol-Glo Mullet that had to have left a stain on his jersey every week. "So let your SSSSOOOOOOOOOUUUUUULLLLL GLO.....Sol-Glo"

Mike: BUF. The terrible losing streak will end for the Bills. The Chiefs continue to be terrible.

NYJets (+5) at Tennessee

NYJ. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. Kerry Collins is bound to have a Kerry Collins-type game at some point this year, right??? Something crazy is going to happen, I just have that feeling like whenever I see a Pauly Shore movie on TV I know it has to suck.
Mike: TEN. There's something about those Titans.

New England (+1) at Miami

Joe: NE. Normally I would have had to pick Miami but due to the fact that I just picked up Matt Cassel and have him as my starter in fantasy this week I need to build confidence. He emailed me and wanted me to name drop him this week so there ya go Matt, Good Luck. That, and I Hate Joey Porter a little more each week. Can he not keep his mouth shut so that people can actually see that he is a pretty good player?? Instead all I wish is that William Green would have knocked his ass out a few years ago or at least planted some pot on him.

Mike: NE. Revenge belongs to the Pats.

San Francisco (+10) at Dallas

Joe: DAL. Would Tony Romo have gone to a movie with a homeless guy in San Fran?? I think not. You know he would have ended up on some LSD trip and had a night like Neil Patrick Harris in either one of the Harold and Kumar movies. I think NPH and Tony Romo should hook up and do a show together. I just want to see how long before either a NPH steals Jessica "Buffalo Wing" Simpson from Tony OR we get a sex-tape three-some filmed by a homeless guy....that's the world I want to live in.

Mike: DAL. Just who do the 49ers think they are?

Tampa Bay (-9) at Detroit

Joe: TB. Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'....De-Troit is a rollin', well not so much rollin' as suckin', that felt good to me to get that out. Can a team really go 0-16 in this league of parody?? YES THEY CAN, and they will.

Mike: DET. Will the Lions win? No. Duh. But will they lose a heartbreaker? Oh yes.

Philadelphia (+1) at Baltimore

Joe: BAL. I'm so pissed at Philly for sucking everytime I pick them that I am taking Baltimore. I have been on the "What's a Tie" McNabb express all year and I have had enough. Baltimore, do us a favor and knock that QB into next season. Let the Kevin Kolb era begin...

Mike: PHI. The Ravens have been overachievers this season.

Chicago (-9) at St Louis

Joe: CHI. StL has pretty much given up so unless Sexy Kyle throws up a Sexy Rexy performance I can't see this one being close. By the Sword of Urlacher I swear it will be done.

Mike: STL. If this was in Chicago, St Louis wouldn't score. Rams keep in close at home.

Minnesota (+2) at Jacksonville

Joe: MIN. Minnesota is hanging onto playoff thoughts by a thread. Is this the week they fall into the abyss?? What the hell am I talking about?? Sorry about that, anyway, I'm going to go out on a huge limb and say that Peterson will rush the ball lots and lots and lots leading to a win a win a win.

Mike: JAX. Jinx and I take the Jags at home.

Carolina (+1) at Atlanta

Joe: CAR. Will this be a showing week of how far Atlanta has come. No, no it will not. Carolina is playing like its 1999, that doesn't mean anything but I like Prince.

Mike: ATL. Falcons keep the NFC South streak alive.

Oakland (+10) at Denver

Joe: DEN. Oakland 2 offensive TDs in last 6 games, offensive. Denver got the in the last quarter against the Browns while trailing. (tear) This game will be what the Denver needs to get it out of the bottom of the league in defense and into the upper-bottom of the league in defense.

Mike: OAK. The Raiders must be absolutely terrible if they're 9 pt dogs to runningbackless Denver.

Washington (-3) at Seattle

Joe: WAS. Don't quite understand the line on this one. Hasselbeck will be back but this is Seattle, where between the Seahawks, Washington U, and Washington State they are an awesome 3-28. Better luck next year Pacific Northwest.

Mike: WAS. Even with the Hassle back, the Seahawks will get drubbed at home.

NY Giants (-3) at Arizona

Joe: NYG. I really wanted to pick Arizona because I like them and I love that they have a guy that broke his face, sat out 2 weeks, and now still goes over the middle. Greatest thing ever. But I can't see the Giants leaving Arizona or finishing the season for that matter with their only two or two of their losses being to Cleveland and Arizona. And Brandon Jacobs is an absolute BEAST.

Mike: NYG. Look out, Anquan. The Giants are gonna break your face.

Indianapolis (+3) at San Diego

Joe: IND. This is the end, my only friend, the end. Sorry Norv Turner, you are done. Unless Tomlinson goes Slaton on Indy, Manning will blow this one open.

Mike: IND. Peyton rallies the troops to offset LTs 200 yard game.

Green Bay (+2) at New Orleans

Joe: NO. If 65 was the bar, I'm taking the over. A lot of passing, a lot of deep passing, and a little bit of voodoo lead to Brees over Favre Jr.
Mike: GB. Saints are too bashed up.
