WHO’S HOT: ND40 (W4)
WHO’S NOT: BUTTA (L2)


GAME OF THE WEEK
MONTREAL (3-2) -11 vs ND40 (4-1)
LAST MEETING: MONTREAL 145, ND40 135
2008 SERIES: MM 2-0


What in the name of Jimmy the Greek is going on with this Guest Butta pick? According to the Yahoo! matchup, ND40 oz. wins by three. Don’t be fooled, folks. ND40 at -3 is a sucker’s bet. It’s the kind of bet that causes FLC to give $20 to his co-worker heading to Vegas, confident in an ND40 oz. cover. It’s the kind of line that the I-O-W-A Hockeyes were getting the last two weeks. Seriously – Iowa – 21.5 against Arkansas State and -9 against Meatchicken? ND40 wishes he was in Vegas the last two weeks. He sucks at betting – just ask T who had to listen to him bitch and moan in St. Louis after losing very quickly in blackjack. But, ND40 oz. would have put money on both Arkansas State and the Cheatin’ Rodriguezes to beat the spread. And, he would have won.

But, back to the game analysis. ND40 oz. is very, very nervous. Serena has been placated the last four weeks with two low-stress wins and two games pulled out of the fire by Pimples Manning. Her love-making has been gentle, and she’s even been willing to cuddle afterwards. But, it ends this week. ND40 oz. is about to get exposed by a very solid Montreal Machine, and it’s going to suck coming home Sunday night. I’m thinking that Serena starts with the yelling, smashes a few tennis rackets on the floor, and threatens to jam tennis balls into areas of the anatomy not intended for such things. Then, she’ll call sister Venus, who will come at ND40 oz. like a spider monkey. It’s not like ND40 oz. can even soothe the sisters with highlights of the Miami Dolphins game and those wacky Wildcat plays – it’s a friggin’ bye week.

I think that Big Ben and Braylon Edwards make the difference in this game, as the other matchups are pretty even. Yes, ND40 oz. has Santonio in for the Steelers, but Big Ben loves his Hines, his Heath, and he’ll distribute the ball enough to keep Santonio from helping to dent MM’s score. The Braylon pickup is solid. How would you like to go from a horrible Cleveland team, where the winning quarterback just went 2-for-17, and A.J. Hawk’s wife’s brother is apparently selling his house. I don’t think that Braylon-to-the-Jets has exactly the same stature as when Randy Moss went to New England, but that’s going to be a very solid play for MM for the rest of the season.

ND40 oz. is playing with backups, who will probably have okay, but not great games. One wild card could be MJD against a terrible St. Louis team. Yahoo! is projecting big points, which generally don’t come to fruition unless you’re Pimples Manning this year. ND40 is intrigued by the first start of Kevin Jones. It’s not that he’s expecting greatness, but who knows?

It’s been a fun ride for ND40 oz. so far this year. ND40 oz. is hoping that the fans (and Serena) will remember the fact that the team is assured of a winning record in the first half of the season, and has managed to get through the first two weeks of October with W’s. Hopefully, the return of Pimples, a healthy Frank Gore, and Witten in Week 7 will mean good things in another huge game against KC.





BUTTA (2-3) -4 vs FLC (2-3)
LAST MEETING: BUTTA 137, FLC 118
2008 SERIES: BUTTA 2-0

Kanye is conflicted. He really likes Butta and the way he rolls. He has nothing really bad to say this week. There was one problem though. On the flight back to Chicago, Kayne and FLC both flew first class together. Northwest Airlines with 6 connections if you must know. The flight attendant (airline waitress) was passing out hot towels after their terrible meal. The flight attendant proceeds to say, “Here is your towel, Mr Skerf.”. Kanye went off. Both FLC and Kanye verbally abused her like a Jim Hasslett/Aaron Brooks domestic situation. Both BUTTA and FLC have really had an up and down campaign this year. Its a battle of 2 and 3’s. The winner goes to .500 and still has eyes on the SB playoffs. The loser has some digging to do and has one foot in the TB playoff grave. Kayne went off on the step-dad last week as he had his FLCs back. The step-dad is defeated but has takin a liking to the East Coast rap scene. Step-dad has a new name . They call him ,“Ol’ Dirty Wanna-B Skerf Dawg”. Kanye is not sure what to think of that development. FLC QB Eli vs BUTTA QB Aaron is going to be the difference. Both RBs and WRs are really even in this matchup. This one rides on BUTTA TO wanna-be WR Marshall on MNF. Butta by 4.





KC BEES (3-2) -8 vs ROSS (2-3)
LAST MEETING: KC 129, ROSS 105
LAST SEASON SERIES: KC 2-0

The Red Oak faithful verses the SOFTWARE. How bout ROSS? A huge victory last week. Eye of Tiger. ROSS is at 2-3 and a win this week would create havoc in Red Oak. KC had yet another come from behind victory. They are sitting pretty and the SOFTWARE has really turned into quite the celebrity this year. TMZ.com is reporting that there is a XXX video circulating that shows Paris Hilton and The Software on vacation in Mexico. The two taped themselves having relations. The video is being dubbed, “Software Download In Paris”. KC is now in the middle of a public relations nightmare. KC is without TE CLARK and RB RONNIE. KC RB BENSON will be just fine though. KC WRs are dominate and will hurt ROSS like Clubber Lang hurt Rocky in the first fight. ROSS has a chance in this game though, folks. They just need to click on all cylinders. KC RB Phat Jacobs vs ROSS RB Ahmad “Don’t call me Rashad” Bradshaw. We love RB Ahmad and it’s a very interesting matchup verses the hefty KC RB Jacobs. Then, you have HEFTY ROSS RB Phat Turner, who we feel is turning the corner. How much can RB Jacobs, RB Turner and Oprah collectively eat? A lot. KC wins by 8 but ROSS is sneaky play here with a pissed off QB Tom.




GUT PICK OF THE WEEK
TLIC (1-4) -1 vs JOE (3-2)
LAST MEETING: ROSS 184, TLIC 152
LAST SEASON SERIES: SPLIT 1-1

TLIC in the GUT PICK again. Its like Captain with Coke, Peanut butter with da jelly, ND40 with Serena, Ol Dirty Wanna-B Skerf with an argument. The TLIC basement has the George Foreman heatin up every night. He even signed his name on it. JOE LOUIS has a little QB contro going on. QB Brees and QB Donovan arguing like school girls. Folks, believe it or not, GUT is having trouble with this one. The GUT thinks the JOEs look flat this week and TLIC is hungry…like the GUT at a Kansas City area BBQ. GUT says TLIC wins and causes a possible basement lease fiasco.
