Hey Swami:
Do you really think people don't pay attention to how your "crystal ball" picks the NFL games? You were 1-3 last week! My 2-month-old kid knows not to pick the Lions! Maybe you should give this gig up.
Doubting Thomas
Dear Tom:
Thank you for noting that the crystal ball correctly foresaw the Vikings nipping the Packers by a single, lonely point. That took some daring insight. And now on to this week's forecast that is not advertised for purposes of wagering:
-- Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers: The storied rivals meet in a rare example of their game meaning something more than just another chapter in the storied rivalry. Lovie Smith's Bear teams are undefeated at Lambeau. Something's gotta give. Maybe in 2009. The pick: Bears.
-- Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars: Last week, the crystal ball did indeed foresee the undefeated Titans becoming defeated - and also the winless Lions becoming one-win. Upon further review, the Titans will remain perfect and the Lions imperfect until their otherwise pointless matchup on Thanksgiving Day. Fate demands its due. The pick: Titans.
-- Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins: The return of the immortal Tony Romo, the most unlikely thing to come out of Eastern Illinois University since John Malkovich. The pick: Redskins.
-- Cleveland Browns at Buffalo Bills: This is what they call "Monday Night Football"? Somewhere, Howard Cosell searches for a narrative thread. The pick: Bills.
