After proving last week that he can indeed fix the economy with his football picks, The Swami is back to with another quartet of NFL selections that could fetch you a dollar or two. (You know, if this site condoned or encouraged gambling ... which it doesn't):
-- Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears: While squeaking by the hapless Lions last week, fans in Minnesota began chanting for the firing of head coach Brad Childress. This week Vikings receiver (and former Bear) Bernard Berrian is expected to be on the brunt end of fan displeasure. That's a lot of boos awfully close to Halloween. Edge: Bears.
-- New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers: Reality TV starlet Kim Kardashian is apparently a good luck charm to the Saints and her beau, running back Reggie Bush. The Swami is concerned with any team that needs luck from someone best known for a brief "Dancing with the Stars" career and for being Paris Hilton's BFF. Edge: Panthers.
-- Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals: The Swami can't decide if he's more excited about the hairdo of Cincinnati's Chad Ocho Cino or Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu. Picking a winner in this one is a lot easier. No team in NFL history has ever won a game with a player named "Ocho Cino" on the roster. Don't expect Cincy to crack the win column this week. Edge: Steelers.
-- Indianapolis Colts at Green Bay Packers: The State of Wisconsin continues to live and die by the day-to-day updates on quarterback Aaron Rogers' sore shoulder. Meanwhile, the Packer's former quarterback, Brett Favre, is calling Cowboy's signal-caller Tony Romo to offer encouragement on his most recent injury. Without encouragement from God himself, Rogers and the Packers don't stand a chance. Edge: Colts.
