Hondo, looking on the bright side of his 3-9-1 Week 7 disaster, kept his loss total out of double-digits by hanging on with the Eagles for a Monday night Best Bet victory. Other than that, it was an all-day nightmare complete with pick 6s, fumble 6s, back doors and blown 21-0 leads. It can’t get any worse, can it?
Giants over Eagles: Two straight smashes to the mouth should get Big Blue’s attention. Plus, Giants fans expect to see some payback for McNabb’s phone trick on their sideline during last year’s playoff game. A trainer hovering over the sacked Eagle QB saying, “Can you hear me now?” would be cause for applause.
Jets over Dolphins: From Hondo’s Good Book Of Handicapping: Never underestimate the power of the thirst for vengeance. Meanwhile, ex-QB Bob Griese is said to be shocked that Sanchez was caught on the bench snacking on a hot dog last Sunday. Griese figured the Jet QB as more of a taco guy.
Ravens over Broncos: From Mick Buckmir: “Missing an airport by 150 miles makes those two now-unlicensed Northwest pilots eligible to become MLB umpires in a second professional life.”
Bears over Browns: It looks like another long day for Mangenius. Could someone please explain why the Butterball In A Headset has one of the 32 NFL coaching jobs?
Bills over Texans: Peeve of the Week: The midnight traffic backup on the west-bound GW. Hondo would appreciate it if the SLU (Shovel Leaners Union) would take a break from their break and move its base of operations to another locale.
Vikings over Packers: Nell Scovell, an ex-writer for Letterman, writes in Vanity Fair that she left the show after a few months back in the ‘90s partly because of a hostile, sexually charged atmosphere. Maybe she should write a screenplay about the sordid scene and try to sell it to Dave.
Colts over 49ers: Speaking of Dirty Dave, sources say he has offered a job to Phillies superfan Susan Finkelstein, who was busted for offering sexual favors for Series tickets. She’ll make head writer in no time.
Lions over Rams: The NFL doesn’t get any uglier than this, which could explain why Studly Steve Phillips put in for a sex-rehab furlough to go to Ford Field in Detroit Sunday.
Cowboys over Seahawks: Obama reportedly has played more golf in his first nine months in office than Dubya played in his first two years and 10 months. Finally, there’s something to like about the 44th President.
Chargers over Raiders: Someone named Weusi McGowan, who was on trial for a home invasion in San Diego, had a motion for dismissal denied and responded by throwing feces at his lawyer. Evidently good ol’ Weusi decided: No motion for me means a movement for you!
Titans over Jaguars: If Bloomberg seemed a little sluggish at Tuesday’s debate with Bill Thompson, it’s probably because he was worn out from his quadrennial visit to three black churches last Sunday. All that shameless pandering is exhausting.
Cardinals over Panthers: Some dogma from BarkingMut: What does the Obama administration and Panther fans have in common? Both are down on Fox.
Saints over Falcons: WFAN ran a contest this week in which listeners vied for the opportunity to attend a Series game with Mike Francesa. That actually was second prize. First prize was attending a Series game without Francesa.
BEST BETS: Giants, Vikings, Ravens.
