Swami:
With the Bears and Packers both taking the week off, I need something to hold my interest when it comes to the NFL. This is where gambling comes in. Please advise (despite your repeated and obviously phony insistence that you don't advocate sports betting).

Dear S.S.:
Despite another successful week picking NFL games, The Swami was a little upset upon realizing there is an increase in raggedy, washed up and no-name NFL quarterbacks leading teams. So this week we're sniffing them out and letting readers know who's legit and who they should avoid:
-- Washington Redskins at Detroit Lions: The Lions have a young man named Dan Orlovsky starting behind center. The man has more career sacks (10) then touchdowns (2). Even he's confused as to why he's a starting QB. Swami's pick: Redskins.
-- Kansas City Chiefs at New York Jets: Following an injury to the marvelous Brodie Croyle, the Chiefs' quarterback depth chart reads like this: Tyler Thigpen, Damon Huard and Ingle Martin. Something tells The Swami they might be better off with this trio. The Swami's pick: Jets (you know -- despite the fact that they have a liar at quarterback).
-- Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers start J.T. O'Sullivan, a career backup who played for quite a few professional teams (that would be five separate teams/links, for those keeping track) before landing in San Fran. Anyone with that many miles can't be too good. The Swami's pick: Seahawks.
-- Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys: Jeff Garcia and Brad Johnson are once again starting quarterbacks in the NFL. In other news: make sure to update your computer to avoid the dreaded Y2K virus. These guys are both eligible for free rides on the CTA and PACE, but someone has gotta win (even a tie is a moral victory for the desperate). The Swami's pick: Cowboys
