Usually, I look forward to posting this blurb about the PFT game picks for the coming weekend.
That’s because, usually, I can boast about a near-perfect mark or how I did better than Rosenthal in the prior slate of games.
This week, however, Rosenthal came up with a better showing, and I was far from perfect. He was 4-2 for the week, and I was 4-3.
As I told him yesterday, “Every once in a while, a blind squirrel . . . can kiss my ass.”
I’ve always been a good loser. (Or, as the wife would say, just a loser.)
Anyway, here are the Week Eight picks. For amusement purposes only.
The link doesn’t work. All it does is bring you to your last week pick of the monday night game of the Eagles vs the Redskins.
Your blatant bias regarding the Eagirls and Cowboys is as amusing as your retarded preseason pick of the Redskins to go to the Super Bowl. Seriously, why do you mention those generation-long chokers in your pick for the Cowboys/Seahawks game? They haven’t won anything of significance in your entire life, Florio. The Eagirls are going to have to beat the Giants for the Eagirls/Cowboys game to even mean anything at this point. You and I both know that the Eagirls have beaten SOME of the tomato cans and NONE of the winning teams they’ve faced.
13-9.
For amusement purposes only?
Wish you would have told me that before I used your advice to bet the farm on the Redskins taking the Lombardi.
Florio, you insensitive bastard.
Then again, you did pick the Vikes over the Pack. That should help start the healing between us.
how many superbowls can the jets possibly play in one year i wonder?
Nice job on the Vikes pick, Florio. Cue the dooshbag Packer fans talking about categories in which the Packers lead the Vikings other than the only two important ones – record and division standing.
I for one am anxious to see the look on the drunken faces of the sea of obese Packer enthusiasts when that ol’ gunslinger leads the purple to a victory in his former home stadium. Will they still cue up the “I don’t wanna work” song for him when he throws his first touchdown and runs down the field? I hope so.
Giants-Eagles will be an evenly matched contest.
The PFT pick was for the Eagles, as the Giants 4-game losing streak in Philly comes to an end? That doesn’t make sense, PFT.
I believe Westbrook will sit, or will not be effective. I will pick the Giants in this one.
But here’s the best reason for picking the Eagles. The Giants are riding a four-game losing streak in Philly. And it’s time for that run to end.
Pick: Eagles 20, Giants 17
________________________________
I dont get it? If the Giants are going to end the run of losing 4 straight games in philly wouldnt that mean there going to win?
So I dunno if you or Greg messed up by picking the Eagles to win or by saying the Giants are going to end there losing streak. It would be appreciated if you would clear that up.
i’m not even an eagles fan, and i have to say the “eagirls” nickname that gets used is pretty damn lame.
can’t you guys think of something better?
“No one doubts the Broncos any more. They may not have recognizable names on defense, but you also can’t recognize where their blitzes are coming from”
are you kidding me? Champ bailey is one of the best shut down corner’s in the entire game…
c’mon now…
“The PFT pick was for the Eagles, as the Giants 4-game losing streak in Philly comes to an end? That doesn’t make sense, PFT.”
Neither did picking the Eagles over the Cowboys in his Seahawks/Cowboys pick. I’m convinced that Florio’s emailing it in on his Palm Pre from a Wheeling, WV day spa.
“i’m not even an eagles fan, and i have to say the “eagirls” nickname that gets used is pretty damn lame. can’t you guys think of something better?”
What’s the point? Can’t please everybody. Couldn’t you think of a better name than texasPHINSfan?
And another thing, regarding your NYG/Eagirls pick…
“The winner steps into the driver’s seat in the NFC East”
Seems to me that if the 5-2 Giants win, they’ll have at least a half-game lead. If the 4-2 Eagirls win, they’ll be tied with the 4-2 Cowboys (assuming the Cowboys beat the Seahawks) and both teams will have a half-game on the Giants. The only way the Eagirls can get the division lead is if they win and the Cowboys lose.

That is funny coming from someone whose name means General Goddess of Truth, and you are so delusional when it comes to your cowgirls.
Florio there is no way the Lions lose to the Rams at home. The Rams are worse this year than last years Lions. The only thing the Lions are decent at stopping is the inside run and thats the only way the Rams move the ball.
Lions – 21 Rams – 6
I don’t need to point to stats as to why GB will beat Minny. They just will. Although it is a little early in the season for the vikings to start really falling on their faces. They typically start that a bit later.

Gotta talk about the Cowgirls sometime.

13-9.

And to that I reply, 44-6.
Also, just as damning is the 33-24 loss in the last game at Texas Stadium at the hands of the Ravens, whom Jerry Jones hand-picked for the final game.

since i don’t use the internet much, and i was (at the time) a dolfan living in texas, it seemed the order for the day. i’m open to suggestions if you have something valid to propose.
way to deflect the issue, though. what does my screenname have to do with “eagirls” being a lame insult? you can do better than that, even with your blue-colored glasses vox.

OH Cry me a river, you whiny little Bitch !!
VoxVeritas – come on you’re not that stupid are you?
What’s the cowboys’ divisional record? 0-1
you lost to the giants
What’s the Eagles’ divisional record? 1-0
They beat the Redskins
If the Eagles beat the Giants and you beat the Seahawks they’re still 2-0 and you’re still 0-1 which means they’re in first place… idiot.
once again, broncos picked to lose…underestimated….overlooked. can’t shake the rodney dangerfield complex…”we get no respect”. nonrecognizable names? dumervil, bailey, dawkins doesn’t ring a bell?? that’s o kay, though, we’ll just continue earning our respect on THE FIELD…. week after week.
13-9
I love how Vikings fans talk tough when they lose on the road to the only legitmiate road team they have played….they struggle against Cleveland, Detroit and Baltimore. They beat the Packers in a game that was much closer than anyone, especially the sawed-off douchebag webmaster of this site would have you believe and they hold a one-game lead in the same division they are already claiming a title for. Laughable, but typical of Vikings fans who have NEVER seen their team win ANYTHING….They can’t even sell out a home playoff game and they talk shit. Hilarious….as for obese fans at Lambeau Field, I have been to the ugliest stadium in the NFL…the Metrodome, and it is pretty clear that obesity is not exclusive to Green Bay. Douchebag Vikings fans are a goddamned riot.
“If the Eagles beat the Giants and you beat the Seahawks they’re still 2-0 and you’re still 0-1 which means they’re in first place… idiot.”
Seriously, you’re employing tiebreakers with less than half the season played? You’re an idiot. 13-9.
