I did pretty horrible the last week while Risse capitalized on my deadly combination of blind faith and risky picks. Will I shape up this week? ….. Probably not. This is too much fun.

SD @ BUF

Chuck: I know Buffalo is generally regarded as the better team, but San Diego looked impressive against New England last week. Is it possible that they’ve finally hit their stride? I’m going to roll with SD for the upset.

Risse: Last week was last week! I love me some L.T. but the Chargers suffer from chronic inconsistency. Plus, at least in my mind, they can never win when it really counts. So I’m going with the Town’s Marshawn Lynch & the Bills big baby!

SF @ NYG

Chuck: Did you think I learned my lesson last week when I picked the Niners to beat Philadelphia? Hell No! Frank Gore is a god damned truck. J.T. O’Sullivan has the arm of a golden centaur straight from the gates of hell. San Francisco shocks the world.

Risse: Chile, puh-leeze! Gore is a beast but he doesn’t play defense too, now does he? O’Sullivan has a great arm, especially when he hits the defensive backs for the other team. And the Giants are coming off a MNF loss and the Niners are on the road? It won’t be pretty: G-Men!

NO @ CAR

Chuck: Drew Brees is on pace to break Dan Marino’s single season passing record for total yards, I haven’t seen one defense shut him down yet. Reggie is coming around with his playmaking skills, so I’m taking the Saints.

Risse: I love Muhsin Muhammad, but well, that’s just not enough. Saints got it.

MIN @ CHI

Chuck: This is probably one of the toughest games to pick this week, Minnesota is slowly but surely gaining their stride, and Gus is making plays in the passing game. However, I’m just not sold on the Vikes just yet, I’m going with super Orton and Da Bears.

Risse: This should be a hard-hitting affair. I haven’t seen much from Adrian Peterson this season, and I am just loving the rookie Matt Forte. He is too damn cute! Call it shallow if you must, but I will roll with the Bears just because of him.

PIT @ CIN

Chuck: Carson Palmer is out with an elbow injury, and Pittsburgh is Pittsburgh. Even with Milwelde Moore playing halfback, they’re going to run the ball almost 20 times and control the clock. Easy win for the Steelers.

Risse: Mewelde is still playing? Why the hell did I drop him from my fantasy team??? *in my Florida Evans voice* Damn, damn, damn! The Steelers win.

TEN @ KC

Chuck: Tennessee is the last undefeated team in football. Kansas City is a horrible team who just suspended their star running back. The Titans win.

Risse: Don’t even get me started on Larry Johnson. He is fine but he smells himself way too much for my liking. Plus, I have a hard time getting over that Jay-Z roommate thing. Now he is mushing chicks in the club? I don’t care who dumped who, I am glad Julissa came to her senses on ole boy. Anyway, back to the game. The Titans get another ‘W.’

BAL @ MIA

Chuck: THE WILDCAT IS AN UNTAMED BEAST, WE WILL NOT BEND, FOLD, OR BREAK. CHAD PENNINGTON IS LIKE JOE FUCKING MONTANA BABY. RONNIE BROWN IS A MONSTER. RICKY BE ROLLIN THEM FAT HERBAL BLUNTS SON. Dolphins win.

Risse: Simmer down, Chuckie. Don’t be typing in all caps because my Texans worked the Dolphins last week! And how dare you invoke the mighty Joe Montana’s name in comparison to Chad Pennington? I will whoop your ass for that alone. Ronnie Brown is deadly–and some sexual chocolate, ladies– and Ricky to be sparking mad izms like Channel Live. But what will Ray Lewis do? And can Flacco and the offense please put up some points? ‘Phins win.

DAL @ STL

Chuck: I’m not buying into the Dallas hysteria. Pressure either busts pipes or makes diamonds… now is the time to see what the Cowboys are made of. I think they’ll win no matter who’s taking the snaps. Boys win.

Risse: Hysteria my derrierre! Pacman is trying to salvage his career by toying with the idea of entering alcohol rehab and they traded for Roy Euguene Williams? Tony Romo is changing his tune after talking to ole Brett Favre, and now he is trying to play. That could be risky long-term. The Cowboys are lucky it’s only the Rams this week but there are still lingering doubts in Big D. Cowboys win.

DET @ HOU

Chuck: I LOVE picking against the Houston Texans… they’re a wack team…and nobody in their right mind would pick a trainwreck team like Detroit to defeat them. You know that means I want to pick the Lions right? But they just traded away one of their best players.

I’m choking on my words … I …. pick…..t….he….Texans… (gag)

Risse: It’s okay, Chuck, you better pick the Texans because you need the overall points punk! Nah, but for real, the Lions are bound to win a game at some point and all I have to say is IT BETTER NOT BE THIS WEEK!! My Texans get another win!

IND @ GB

Chuck: Peyton and Marvin partied like it was 2005 last week against Baltimore, if they keep playing like this its gonna get real interesting. Indy wins.

Risse: That big-headed Peyton is starting to get back into his rhythm. I hope Aaron Rodgers can put up big numbers but I just don’t have that feeling about this one for the cheese head fans. Colts gallop away with the win.

NYJ @ OAK

Chuck: Favre is gonna eat this soft defense alive. If Drew Brees threw for over 300 yards I’m expecting Bretty boy to do the same… the Jets win.

Risse: Well, well, well. Look who is playing to win this week? What happened to your ‘Town loyalty, Chuck? Where’s that blind faith now, huh? Just like I thought. You cut off the Cable! J-E-T-S win.

CLE @ WAS

Chuck: A very tough game to pick…. Washington underachieved last week by letting St. Louis beat them. Cleveland overacheived by making the New York Giants look like a horrible team. So whats going to happen this week? I’ll be a rebel and pick Cleveland.

Risse: The Browns were fired up on MNF and the fineness of Braylon Edwards was on full display, back flips and all. The ‘Skins let the Rams come into their house last week and get their first victory. That’s just unacceptable. I need some get back this week, Jason Campbell! ‘Skins win.

SEA @ TB

Chuck: Tampa Bay is going to tear Seattle up, I’ve seen nothing from the Seahawks that indicate they’ll get it together.

Risse: I hate everything about Seattle, except TE John Carlson. He’s my Fantasy guy. Bucs win.
