Last week was my first truly bad week. After posting a 40-29 record through eight weeks, I went a brutal 2-6.
The bad week is inexplicable, from a statistical standpoint. The girls last week were just as hot, if not hotter, than the girls behind my picks earlier in the season. This leads me to believe that it was clearly an aberration.
Luckily, I have found a new group of girls that force me to keep the faith in my system.
Here are my eight picks for this week:
Jacksonville Jaguars AT Baltimore Ravens
PICK: Jags +5.5
Call me crazy, but with Andrew Luck out for up to six weeks, we might be able to see some #JagsPoolBooty in the playoffs.
Miami Dolphins AT Philadelphia Eagles
PICK: Eagles -5.5
This is how Eagles cheerleaders get ready for games. Good enough for me.
Carolina Panthers AT Tennessee Titans
PICK: Panthers -5.5
Yup, Brooklyn Decker is from Charlotte and is a big Panthers fan.
She also has this picture with Kate Upton, so this is a lock.
Dallas Cowboys AT Tampa Bay Buccaneers
PICK: Cowboys +1.5
Only one more week till America's team gets its quarterback on the field again. I bet this Romo fan can't wait.
Detroit Lions AT Green Bay Packers
PICK: Packers -11.5
The Lions haven't won in Lambeau Field since 1991 and Aaron Rodgers just lost two games in a row. He wants to blow the Lions out.
New England Patriots AT New York Giants
PICK: Patriots -7
I never take the Patriots because they are cheaters, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
It also gives me the chance to post a bunch of gifs from my favorite video on the internet, Gisele Dancing (the song is great, so you really should watch the whole video).
It's a damn shame that she married an Ugg model, because she really is great in every way.
Literally, every way. Look at this move.
And look at this one. Stare really, really closely at this one.
New Orleans Saints AT Washington Redskins
PICK: Saints pick'em
Everybody thinks this is going to be a high scoring shoot-out. Yes, if by "shoot-out" you mean, "one team scores all the points."
Arizona Cardinals AT Seattle Seahawks
PICK: Cardinals +3
We are going back to Arizona State for this one. Why?
Because why not?
There is no place better than Tempe, Arizona, obvi. Go Cardinals.
