OK, here is Uncle Robs...
�Lead Pipe to the Medulla Oblongata Pick of the Week�
Once again based on The Sheridan Line as it appeared in USA Today on 9/11/02. I�m taking the Bucs over the Ravens. TB is favored by 3.5 pts. Don�t sweat it. They�ll cover. TB is 3-1 ATS on the road versus the AFC since 2000. And, Baltimore is 1-6-1 straight up as a home dog since 1998. Look it up buttnut if you don�t believe me. Or, run out the street corner, palm off that last bag of you methamphetamine supply on some space cadet, take the money and put it on the Bucs.
Why else should you bet on the Bucs? Well, first off �GruDog� will have worked their collective asses of after that opening day turd that damaged his rep as �Boy Genius�. Secondly, yes the Ravens are 2 years removed from the Super Bowl, but salary cap casualties devastated them. By mid-season this team will be so bad Ray Lewis may actually take another life. That of one of his teammates. Third, Billick is going to be stubborn enough to keep Redman in there until he gets killed. Redman is so slow that Warren Sapp can beat him in a 40 yd. Dash. Repeatedly. And, I can whip Warren Sapp�s fat black ass in a blind drunken stupor running backwards. So, if you have Jeff Blake on your fantasy football roster, you may want to play him this week because he�s going to get some playing time and he�ll be throwing because they�ll be behind. Finally, this is a matchup of 2 of the most over hyped coaches in the league: �Boy Genius Grudog� vs. �The Man who Invented the Game�. First of all, I got news: I�m a middle-aged genius. Second, my granddad, Samuel T. (the �T� stood for Touchdown!) invented the goddamn game. What a couple of egotistical windbags. They deserve each other so much they should be queer for each other.
Anyway, take the Bucsa and give the 3.5 pts. I�ll be back next week to give you another pick to cash.
Til then�
