Fish ‘n chip

Select picks for week 11

Jets -2.5 vs Bills. Oh brother. Another opportunity for Rex Ryan to prove how much of a buffoon he is … and he did. Jackass Ryan named IK Enemkpali captain for the game against the Jets this week. Same guy who broke Geno Smith’s jaw in preseason while he was a member of the Jets. Lucky for Rex, the Ryan Fitzpatrick chariot is about to turn back into a pumpkin. Take the Bills and the points.

Packers -11.5 vs Lions. Take the Lions plus the points. That’s a lotta points for a struggling offense to cover.

Buccaneers -1.5 vs the Cowboys. With Greg Hardy providing plenty of distraction for the Cowboys, they aren’t focused on football. Take the Bucs and red-hot rookie QB Jameis Winston.

Panthers laying 5.5 against the Titans. Cam Newton is finally getting his due for carrying this sorry-ass franchise. Too bad he signed that big long-term contract, though. Means they’ll keep cheaping out on getting him any offensive weapons.

Saints -1 vs Washington Politicians. The line should be more than one point. Lay this one like it might be your last before you go out to sea. Savor it, just like RGIII should’ve savored 2012.

Eagles -6.5 vs Dolphins. Lay the points. The Fins suck. The Eagles are overrated as well, but they are better than the fake fish. Eagles Coach Chip Kelly is being bailed out for the mess he has created by the NFC lEast being so bad. They’ll probably win the division at 8-8.

Ravens laying 5.5 vs Jaguars. Don’t like either team or either QB. Funny how a GM looks like less of a genius after he has to pay his QB $20 million a year. Take the Ravens at home.

Raiders -3 vs Vikings. I would say take the Vikes plus the points but after the Rams treated Tedy Bridgewater’s head like a Pinata last week, I don’t know if he will play or how well. Lay the points if Bridgewater is out, because I think his backup is Fran Tarkenton. If Tedy plays, take the Vikes.

Broncos -6.5 vs Chiefs. Take the Chiefs and the points. Get some bad weather and Manning can’t feel his fingers. That plus Andy Reid had a bye week to completely … do nothing. Maybe he went to the Peanuts movie just to take notes on Lucy’s ball fake.

Pats -7 vs Giants. Lay the points. Whatever the line with the Pats, just lay the points. It pains me because I thought the Pats’ run was over a few years ago, but those bastards just keep rolling. As Florida Evans used to say in Good Times … Damn Damn Damn.

‘Hawks laying 3 points vs Cards. Take the Cards plus the points. The Seahawk defense isn’t as great as it was and the Cards should be able to take advantage.

The Colts are about to clear out their whole coaching staff. Luck is out now and the GM will be exposed greatly. That roster is a steaming pile of middle of summer in Mississippi horses^#t. It stinks. And if a team makes the playoffs from that division with 5 or 6 wins the league should grant the spot to another team. They need to go back to 3 divisions in each conference. Or two. The four division alignment is horrible.

Greg Hardy dumbass drama of the week. First, the Cowboy DE apologizes for things he did in the past. Then he changes his name on Twitter to “innocent until proven guilty” and rants about discrimination against certain people … blah blah. This guy is a MORON. I am sure he is going to do something that lands him in prison. He has real prison time in his future, doing an interview with 60 Minutes future.

AND DON’T GIVE ME ANY S&^T ABOUT HIM BEING INNOCENT BECAUSE HE WAS FOUND GUILTY BUT THE CASE FELL APART BECAUSE HE PAID THE WOMAN HE BEAT THE HELL OUT OF PROBABLY A MILLION DOLLARS NOT TO SHOW UP FOR COURT. So for everyone I hear saying he wasn’t convicted, give it a rest. OJ got off too.

The worst part has been the Cowboys repeated justifications that he is okay and they are controlling the situation. Every time they say “we have talked to Greg and we are behind him” they are making themselves more of a desperate joke.
