Alright, I know this is late... so you can quit bugging me about it. I am also aware that there is no movie review this week. The only movie worth watching this week was Boondock Saints 2... and they aren't even showing it my fucking area. I even live in a big metropolitan area... but nope, we are good enough. I blame the local NFL team. It is their fault. In fact I am going place of play and boo them tomorrow.
And yeah, I sucked it up last week... and fell further behind San Antonio... and Baby Girl is catching up. Lame. I really have to step it up like Mike Tyson's acting in the Hangover.
Sunday's Games
Texans @ Bills
The Texans are looking pretty good recently... and the Bills, not so much. Bills remind me of a stripper over $40. It isn't that great, but you will take it for the discounted price. Texans should wrap up before they take the plunge, but they will come out with a clean win.
Browns @ Bears
I still don't think the Bears are that great, but the Browns are worse. Bears should have no trouble.
Seahawks @ Cowboys
Alright, the Hawks are really inconsistent... but so are the Boys. Yeah, the Boys beat the Falcons, but that doesn't mean shit. This year has been the year for former players to kill their opposing teams. Shockey to the Giants... Farve to the Packers... Benson to the Bears... I think Julius Jones will kick the crap out of the Boys. Sorry Cowgirls, come back next Sunday.
Rams @ Lions
Rams still suck... Lions do too. But the Lions have a win. But the Rams have Steven Jackson. I am actually going to pick the Rams. I think they can muster one out... but just one.
Niners @ Colts
The Niners have been the most disappointing team of the year. They do a great job of making baby Jesus cry. Do they stand a chance against the Colts.... I think so. Why? Because of the new faith in an old flame. Alex Smith will give the Colts their first lose. Laugh if you want, but I think I will be right on this one. Upset Special!
Dolphins @ Jets
Dolphins have put up a great fight against the greatest teams in the league this year. The Jets are not one of those teams. In fact, they beat the Jets already. I expect a sequel.
Broncos @ Ravens
The Ravens seem to be falling apart in my eyes. The Broncos are so hot, you need tongs to touch them. Ravens will figure this out pretty quick.
Giants @ Eagles
Eagles are coming back strong. Giants are on the down hill. The NFC is starting to look competitive within. I am taking the Eagles. Giants need to find some way to start playing better. This week is not there week. That is what Marvin Gaye and I heard from the grapevine.
Jaguars @ Titans
Titans look like shit. Except white and baby blue shit. Jags don't look great either, but they should be beat the Titans. All they have to do is tell Vince Young he sucks. He will break down and it will be smooth sailing after that.
Raiders @ Chargers
I picked the Raiders and it cost me. I am not making that mistake again. Chargers going to run over them like the Jets. Car crash they are probably going to play on CBS just because they have a knack for showing the worst possible game on.
Vikings @ Packers
A sequel I see ending the same. Farve will come out with some cool toys, save the world with the help of a friend. There will be smoking hot girl and the world will be saved. Maybe that is how all the Bond movies are, but this one should go along the same lines. Same shit, different stadium.
Panthers @ Cardinals
Cardinals looked good last week, and I don't see those looks changes. They didn't even shower. Kept all their makeup on. I look for a repeat performance and a standing ovation from a red sea.
Monday's Game
Falcons @ Saints
The Dolphins had the best shot at beating the Saints. They are showing to be unstoppable. If the Falcons lost to the Cowgirls, then they are weak sauce. Saints are doing some Cajun cooking where weak sauce is tossed out for the spicy shit. Falcons don't stand a chance, 35-10
Birddogger Out.

Week 7 NFL Picks
So, in case you were wondering... there was no movie review this week. No that is not an accident. I did not see a flick this week due to an interference with plans. Reviews should continue next week. Besides, I needed a break from movies... they all start to become one in my mind after some time.
San Antonio had a huge week! He is now furthered himself away from Baby Girl and myself. This is no good. I must redeem my pick 'em manhood.
Sunday's Games:
Packers @ Browns
Browns are still trying to figure out what the hell they are going to do. They did just win last week though, and I did not see that one coming. Packers are a better team than the Bills, so I don't see a streak happening for Cleveland.
Chargers @ Chiefs
Chiefs are gaining confidence each week. I don't think the Chargers are that great of a team. I think this one should be close, but I don't see the Chargers choking again. I look for them to pull this one off.
Niners @ Texans
The Niners have been disappointing me lately. I know they are a decent team. The Texans are the best mediocre team in NFL history. They are so inconsistent. I think the Niners will take it to them as the begin to make a run for a division title.
Colts @ Rams
Colts aren't a great team, although their record begs to differ. However, the suck fairy is with the Rams (hmm... maybe having a suck fairy isn't so bad... ;). So, I expect Jackson to try and carry the Rams to victory, but he won't succeed. I like the Colts.
Vikings @ Steelers
Alright, I still think I am the only one who believes the Steelers are not that great. I am sticking to it as I am picking Minnesota to win. Pittsburgh still has a lousy running game and the defensive line of the Vikes is going to give Big Ben hell. Hey, I was right about the Giants-Saints game, don't be surprised if I am right about this one.
Pats @ Bucs
So Tom Brady made the crappy Titans look worse. Now everybody is saying Tom is back, and the league better be ready again. And this week will fuel is ego even more. He is going to sink the bucs. They don't stand a chance. But don't buy into the Pats stock just yet. My left testicle puts up the kind of numbers that Tom did against crappy teams too.
Bills @ Panthers
Panthers hands down. The Bills looked good at the beginning of this season, but they have unraveled faster than Saturday Night Live. They just plain suck right now. And the loss of their QB isn't going to help either.
Jets @ Raiders
I want to see the Raiders play again. I have only seen it once and they looked like crap. I think they have a fire in their ass and gaining confidence in themselves. Is it enough to stop the Jets? Sanchez is starting to struggle, and starting to look like a rookie. I am going to go on a limb and say I think the Raiders have shot. Not a great one, and they could easily get killed.
Bears @ Bengals
This is one of the better games this week. The Bengals have been red hot and the Bears haven't looked bad either. I think the Bengals take this one just because I have a feeling that the Bears are about to wake up from their happy dreams.
Falcons @ Cowboys
This game is a joke. The Falcons are a legit team and they are going to kill the Cowboys. It is going to be sad and Tony Romo might cry in his helmet. There will be no happy times in Dallas this week.
Saints @ Dolphins
The Phins are a great team. They play like a team. They are a team. The Saints are really f-ing good. This is going to be a great game to watch. The Saints better get ready for a rumble. I think the Dolphins and Vikings are the only two teams that really stand a chance against these Saints. I say the Phins can pull off the win. Don't be surprised if they do.
Cardinals @ Giants
I still have doubts against the Cardinals, but I still the Giants are not that great. I am going to say the Cardinals are going to win this one. Warner better not fuck it up for me.
Monday Night Game:
Eagles @ Skins
Neither team is very impressive right now. But since I have to choose, I am picking the Eagles. I don't see the Skins pulling out any time soon. It will be a blow-out and the Eagles will be the team we thought they were.
Eagles win 33-14
So there we go. My road to redemption begins here. San Antonio look out. The Birddogger is coming

Week 6 NFL Picks
The Birddogger has came on top last week with 8 correct predictions. Two of them being Denver over the Patriots and the key one, the Dolphins over the Jets. However, it wasn't enough to put me over the lead of San Antonio who is till one game up. Baby Girl is still a few games behind, and is waiting for his time to jump ahead of us.
Without further ado, lets get into this weeks match-ups.
Sunday's Games:
Texans @ Bengals
I think I am going to start taking sips of this Cincinatti kool-aid. Ochocinco still impresses me and this team keeps getting wins. The Texans have been real inconsistent and I think this time will be no different. Bengals add another win to their streak.
Lions @ Packers
Alright, I got a lot of shit last week for picking the Lions over the Steelers. People thought it was ludicrous, until the saw the score. The Lions held their own. It was not a blow-out like so many people thought it was going to be. The Packers are well rested coming off their bye week, but I don't know if that offensive line needs any rest, they get plenty of that on Sunday when they let the defensive linemen by them. I think this game will be close too, closer than the Steeler game, but I think the Packers are going to play harder for the divisional win.
Ravens @ Vikings
I haven't heard a lot about this match up this week I am not real sure why. I think these are two high caliper teams that bring a lot to the table. The Ravens have something to prove after the Patriot loss and I think they will get to the Vikings. I don't think the Raven defense is what it was from back in the day, but as long as Ray Lewis is on that team, they will not lose intensity. The Vikings are equally talented on both sides of the ball, but I feel the Ravens want this, and need this more.
Giants @ Saints
Now hear is a game I am sick of hearing about. Let's get one thing straight, the Giants are not who they were two years ago. They are ok, and should make the playoffs. I haven't seen anything that shows a championship team. They are very well coached, but the talent level is lacking. The Saints are also well coached, and the talent level is high.... very high. Pot heads wish they were this high. The Saints are real, and I don't even expect this game to be close.
Panthers @ Buccaneers
Tampa Bay is still win-less. They are having identity issues. The Panthers are trying to live up to a hype and haven't done so well recently. Both teams are struggling and are in need of a re-building year. I am going to say that Tampa Bay is going to win this one. If they don't win, they will get blown out. But if they play decent, they can put down the Panthers.
Chiefs @ Redskins
The Redskins suck. The Chiefs suck. Kansas City did almost beat the Cowboys who suck as well. I think KC can beat the skins. A little sign of hope against an over-rated team should lead to enough confidence to beat the Skins.
Rams @ Jaguars
The Rams, in my opinion, are the worst team in the league. At least the Raiders have shit-load of talent, Rams have Steven Jackson. Jaguars should win this game pretty easily. Rams are having a hard enough time with Rush Limbaugh.
Browns @ Steelers
Browns are having issues. The Steelers had a tough time with the Lions. Lets not forget that. I think the Browns know they need to rebuild, and have accepted that. For that reason, I think the Steelers will still struggle a little bit, but they will come up with the win.
Cardinals @ Seahawks
Alright, I can't figure out these Seahawks. One week they suck, the next they rock. The Cardinals are a talent based team with mediocre coaching. I think the Seahawks will pull this one off. Something tells me they have some steak in this one and are in need of proving they are a threat in this division.
Eagles @ Raiders
To I really have to talk about this one. The Raiders are hurting, especially the coach that got punched. Unless the Eagles don't even bother to show up, the Raiders are in for an ass kicking.
Bills @ Jets
Miami stopped the Jets and the need this win for divisional purposes. The Bills are hurting, but I don't think they will pull this one out. The Jets will be to motivated to come out with a win.
Titans @ Patriots
If Hanyesworth was still wearing the T on his helmet, I would say that could beat the Pats. Since this isn't the case, I think the Patriots will put a good fight. However, I don't think it will be enough. The Pats are still trying to put together a defense that will stand a fighting chance. I don't know what it will take for people to finally admit the Pats are on a downhill slope. Apparently much more than a lose to Denver. I think this will be the one that shows the dynasty has come to an end.
Bears @ Falcons
The Falcons are heavily favored in this one. I think they are good, but they aren't great. In fact, I think these two teams are on the same level. This should be a good game. As for who is coming out on top? Man, it's a tough choice. I will have to consult the magic eight ball on this one... shake shake shake.... It says "Don't count on it." hmm... damn ball ain't magic at all. So I will go with the Bears.
Monday's Game:
Broncos @ Chargers
Chargers have to readjust their game plan. It isn't working. They need to come up with one that takes advantage of the talent they have. Until they do that, they will not be the team they were not that long ago. People are finally jumping on this wagon. I think they are the real deal. Determination fuels their fire, and their confidence is going through the roof. I expect them not to fall here. They will win 24 to 13.
So I hope this picks will force the fall of San Antonio and his Alamo fortress. The Birddogger army is coming. You better get ready.
Birddogger out.

Birddogger is a fan of the Law Abiding Citizen
That's right. The title of this post should say it all. The rest is just details. If your interested, just follow along. One you hear the chimes, turn the page.
Law Abiding Citizen is a story of a man who loses his family, takes the bad guys to trial, and one gets away on a deal and the other gets the death penalty. The deal pisses Gerard Butler off and then shit hits fan. I am not talking any fan either, it's like one of those big ass box fans that sprays a mist while it blows. The huge ones that football teams use to cool off their players.
The setting is Philadelphia, which is ironic because it is the city of brotherly love. Ha... ask any football team that goes and plays the Eagles if they get the brotherly treatment while they are there.
Okay, so the setting isn't what makes this flick, and I need to get off the football analogies.
From the very beginning, this movie takes you on a roller coaster of events. I am not talking little kiddy ones, I mean like the Texas Giant size. Last week, I talked about how Couples Retreat tried to pull at my emotions, but failed miserably. This movie had no problem getting at me in the first five minutes. And it doesn't stop there.
The movie has so many twist, you are constantly looking for something to go wrong. Because of this, you are forced into the story line. Forced to watch, forced to find a conclusion. Jedi's don't even use this kind of force.
The acting helps this force. They did a great job. I can only think of one actor who did kind of piss poor, but he doesn't play a significant roll or anything. Butler and Foxx do such a great job, you really don't know who to cheer for. It's awesome.
This flick is truly unique in the fact that it takes you on a thriller ride like the Saw movies, gives you the suspense similar to the movie Seven, and adds a little bit of Shawshank Redemption into it.
I honestly can't find anything wrong with this flick. I thought the preview may have given to much away... but it didn't. It was very well done. When I got out of this flick, my breath was taken away. What a rush. Ohh yeah... it was that good ;)
This flick gets the whole Cherry Pit (5 out of 5). This one is going into the private collection when it gets to DVD. Yeah, I don't have a blu-ray player yet. Stop hating, I'll get one soon.
Birddogger out.
Ohh yeah, Brrrinng.... (chimes)....

Week 5 NFL Picks
San Antonio is still in the lead by two, but I plan on overtaking him shortly. Baby Girl is still trying to make up ground.
I have to say, I did a lot better last week.word. I am just taking it one week at a time, giving a lot of thought into each prediction and sticking to my guns 110%.
Alright, so lets go around this weeks match ups.
Sunday's Games:
Browns @ Bills
This one is going to be a tough one to call. I originally liked the Bills at first, but after getting their asses handed to them by the Dolphins, they seem to be in a little rut. Will they come out of it? That is the question. The Browns have problems though, but I think they are further on the suck meter. The Bills will have a tough time, but I think T.O. may smile after this is said and done.
Steelers @ Lions
Steelers still don't look that great. They look ok, but that is it. I may be the only person saying this, but I think it is time for that team to begin to panic a little bit. Should they be scared of Lions? I think so. I think the Lions have already made this season successful by winning one game. They have nothing to lose now as the suck fairy is making an appearance in St. Louis. I think the Lions are going to put up a fight, and I think they are going to win. Steelers won last week and I don't think they are going to take Detroit seriously. I think this will be an upset.
Cowboys @ Chiefs
Speaking of upsets, wouldn't this one be great. I have said the Cowboys are over-rated, but are they so over-rated that they lose to the Chiefs? I am not feeling this one. The Chiefs suck way more than the Cowboys. Don't be surprised if the Cowboys run-a-way with this one. The running of the Boys should but KC in a bind and it may even open up the passing game to make Romo look good and give Cowboys fan hopes that the is still the second coming of Jesus.
Vikings @ Rams
I think I already mentioned the suck fairy is under the Rams pillow right now. I don't see the Vikings having any trouble in this one. If you have Farve as a back up fantasy player, you might want to start him. Him and Peterson are going to have an elementary field day with the Rams.
Raiders @ Giants
Oakland has a problem, they have no passing game. Yup, they are near the same boat as the Cowboys and their running game has suffered because of it. McFadden can't carry that team alone. Giants still look like a decent team. I think they are going on the decline a little bit, but they shouldn't have any problems at home.
Bucs @ Eagles
Eagles are still doing well, and they are going to get Mcnabb and Westbrook back. The Bucs are still drowning and looking for that life persevere ring. To bad they got rid of their lifeguard on duty Jeff Garcia. Eagles should have no problem.
Skins @ Panthers
The Redskins have had a hell of time recently. The Panthers are a decent team and they are coming off a bye week. I like them in this match up, esp. against a Haynesworthless Washington team. haha
Bengals @ Ravens
Ravens are a team that I believe are at the top of their game. Bengals are playing well and this is a divisional rivalry game. Should be good, should be close, and Ochocinco will make it interesting. But I see the Ravens coming out on top.
Falcons @ Niners
Falcons are coming off a bye week too... but they need that rest for the hard hitting Niners. I like the Niners, they are legit. Smash mouth, well coached, beat your face football is what they bring every game. Falcons better be ready for an ass kicking.
Jaguars @ Seahawks
People are on Seattles boat, and I don't know why? Maybe it was the uniforms they wore last week. Jaguars still have some problems of their own though, but I think they will beat the Seahawks.
Houston @ Arizona
The Cardinals are struggling and a 1-2 record shows it. I think they are going to struggle with this one too. The Texans young team just needs a little more direction and they should be solid. The Cards are running on a talent driven team that isn't delivering at the moment.
Patriots @ Broncos
Am I the only one seeing the Pats as only a decent team? Is it going unnoticed that they just signed Junior Seau? They are struggling, and they are trying to keep a winning team intact. Denver on the other hand is probably the least respected team in the league right now. An undefeated record and they are still the underdog in this match up. They are talent driven, and they are have talent. Brandon Marshall won the game for them last week, and I called it! I say they will keep it close and they will win! How could I say this? I think the Pats defense is just as bad as Dallas' defense and they won't be able to make the key stop.
Colts @ Titans
The Colts won't be able to stop the run, but that hasn't stop them from winning yet. Tennessee is in a hole and I don't see them coming out of it this week.
Monday's Game:
Jets @ Dolphins
This division rivalry is second to none. Some of the best Monday night games star these two teams, I and believe me if you watch the game, that statement will be made. It will get old fast, but know you heard it here first. But anyway, the Phins are coming off a commanding win. They look like the Phins of last year. Well coached, good game plan, nothing fancy except some wildcat here and there. The Jets learned they are human last week as the Saints schooled them. The Phins are no Saints, but they weren't last year either and won the division. I think the Phins will continue the momentum and stop the Jets 27-23.
I feel I picked a lot of upsets this week, but that is what my gut tells me. Most of the upsets I picked last week were correct. I think this week should be more of the same.
Birddogger out.
I have to say, I did a lot better last week.
Alright, so lets go around this weeks match ups.
Sunday's Games:
Browns @ Bills
This one is going to be a tough one to call. I originally liked the Bills at first, but after getting their asses handed to them by the Dolphins, they seem to be in a little rut. Will they come out of it? That is the question. The Browns have problems though, but I think they are further on the suck meter. The Bills will have a tough time, but I think T.O. may smile after this is said and done.
Steelers @ Lions
Steelers still don't look that great. They look ok, but that is it. I may be the only person saying this, but I think it is time for that team to begin to panic a little bit. Should they be scared of Lions? I think so. I think the Lions have already made this season successful by winning one game. They have nothing to lose now as the suck fairy is making an appearance in St. Louis. I think the Lions are going to put up a fight, and I think they are going to win. Steelers won last week and I don't think they are going to take Detroit seriously. I think this will be an upset.
Cowboys @ Chiefs
Speaking of upsets, wouldn't this one be great. I have said the Cowboys are over-rated, but are they so over-rated that they lose to the Chiefs? I am not feeling this one. The Chiefs suck way more than the Cowboys. Don't be surprised if the Cowboys run-a-way with this one. The running of the Boys should but KC in a bind and it may even open up the passing game to make Romo look good and give Cowboys fan hopes that the is still the second coming of Jesus.
Vikings @ Rams
I think I already mentioned the suck fairy is under the Rams pillow right now. I don't see the Vikings having any trouble in this one. If you have Farve as a back up fantasy player, you might want to start him. Him and Peterson are going to have an elementary field day with the Rams.
Raiders @ Giants
Oakland has a problem, they have no passing game. Yup, they are near the same boat as the Cowboys and their running game has suffered because of it. McFadden can't carry that team alone. Giants still look like a decent team. I think they are going on the decline a little bit, but they shouldn't have any problems at home.
Bucs @ Eagles
Eagles are still doing well, and they are going to get Mcnabb and Westbrook back. The Bucs are still drowning and looking for that life persevere ring. To bad they got rid of their lifeguard on duty Jeff Garcia. Eagles should have no problem.
Skins @ Panthers
The Redskins have had a hell of time recently. The Panthers are a decent team and they are coming off a bye week. I like them in this match up, esp. against a Haynesworthless Washington team. haha
Bengals @ Ravens
Ravens are a team that I believe are at the top of their game. Bengals are playing well and this is a divisional rivalry game. Should be good, should be close, and Ochocinco will make it interesting. But I see the Ravens coming out on top.
Falcons @ Niners
Falcons are coming off a bye week too... but they need that rest for the hard hitting Niners. I like the Niners, they are legit. Smash mouth, well coached, beat your face football is what they bring every game. Falcons better be ready for an ass kicking.
Jaguars @ Seahawks
People are on Seattles boat, and I don't know why? Maybe it was the uniforms they wore last week. Jaguars still have some problems of their own though, but I think they will beat the Seahawks.
Houston @ Arizona
The Cardinals are struggling and a 1-2 record shows it. I think they are going to struggle with this one too. The Texans young team just needs a little more direction and they should be solid. The Cards are running on a talent driven team that isn't delivering at the moment.
Patriots @ Broncos
Am I the only one seeing the Pats as only a decent team? Is it going unnoticed that they just signed Junior Seau? They are struggling, and they are trying to keep a winning team intact. Denver on the other hand is probably the least respected team in the league right now. An undefeated record and they are still the underdog in this match up. They are talent driven, and they are have talent. Brandon Marshall won the game for them last week, and I called it! I say they will keep it close and they will win! How could I say this? I think the Pats defense is just as bad as Dallas' defense and they won't be able to make the key stop.
Colts @ Titans
The Colts won't be able to stop the run, but that hasn't stop them from winning yet. Tennessee is in a hole and I don't see them coming out of it this week.

Is Couples worth the Retreat?
Let's get this straight. Did I laugh, yup. Was I entertained, Yup. Did I get emotional, not really but they tried.
The movie seemed self-explanatory if you have seen the previews. A group of couples end up going to a resort for couples therapy without them really expecting the therapy part. The story line seems like it can be promising, but the problem is it takes you on a roller coaster. One minute your laughing, but in the next minute things get real serious. It flip-flops more than politicians and it gets kind of annoying.
The acting is phenomenal though. I wouldn't have guessed it either. I thought they were going for the whole lets put all the apples in the basket and hope one might shine more than the others. This was not the case. They all shined like ripe ass fruit. Like see your reflection in the bitch shine. Like you might reconsider eating it and try to frame the mother fucker but you can't because it is in an odd as shape you already took off the top stem out of habit.
The set was well done. The movie was well done. There was some good lines, and not everything was spoiled by the trailer. In fact, there was a different problem with the trailer. You have to see the trailer or you will be lost in this film.
Why would I say such a thing? In the trailer it shows Jon Favreau hitting on a waitress and getting it on in the bathroom with her, and his wife played by Kristin Davis getting it on in a SUV with a guy she met at the gym. The point of that scene is to show what kind of marriage they have and the adultery that goes on. However, that part is cut out of the flick. Which is okay by me, but they expect you to know that there relationship is full of cheating anyway.
The point is that is movie is a good time, and a good date movie. If you are looking for something amazing, this isn't it. I am giving this flick a threesome out of a cherry pit (3 out of 5).

NFL Week 4 Picks
So, I sucked it up last week. San Antonio took the lead in the standing, but I am pulling a strong second. Baby Girl forgot to make his picks so he fell behind. To bad, so sad.
You smell that? I smell a comeback!
Sunday's Games
Lions @ Bears
The Bears are starting to prove they are a true threat. And they do not have Urlacher and they are still finding ways to win. I think they will find a way to win this one too.
Bengals @ Browns
The Browns are in a horrible spot. They just changed quarterbacks and the team does not respect the coach. The Bengals have been on fire. I have gained a lot of respect for Ochocinco recently, and I think he will have no problem making the Browns look foolish in pink.
Seahawks @ Colts
So the Colts beat the Cardinals last week. Why? I am not so sure. Probably Peyton Manning. Can he beat teh Seahawks. Ohh yeah, especially without Hasselbeck.
Giants @ Chiefs
Still no contest. Chiefs have no real chance.
Bucs @ Skins
Finally a game worth talking about. The Buccaneers aren't doing well this year, and I hear they are pulling out Leftwich. Team definetly has some issues. The other side of the coin is really no different. Jim Zorn is really on the hot seat. I mean, come on, they lost to the Lions last week. I actually like the Buccaneers in this one. I really have no idea why, but I think they are going to expose a Haynesworth less Skins for what they are... a joke.
Titans @ Jags
I think the Titans are the real deal. They have come to close to winning all to often. I think they will finally get their first win here.
Raiders @ Texans
I have just about given up on the Raiders. I don't even know why I believed in the first place. Such a dissapointment. Texans should slaughter them like cattle. Raider Jerkey, coming up!
Ravens @ Patriots
I heard the argument that the Patriots are prepared for the Ravens after playing the Jets because they run similar defenses. I don't buy it. Patriots are not who they thought they were. I thought the Falcons would put up a fight, but they didn't... However, I think Ray Lewis likes Brady Sandwiches for breakfast.
Jets @ Saints
The Jets look good, but so do the Saints. This one is a tough one to call. I think the Saints are for real though, not to say the Jets aren't. This will be a close game. I think the Saints have a slight advantage being that they are not only the home team, but they have played together longer. I think this small edge is all it takes for me to pick them as the winner.
Bills @ Dolphins
The Dolphins are in trouble with the falling of Pennington. However, the lack of players has not stopped this team from competing. Buffalo was looking good, till last week. I think the Phins will get their first win here.
Cowboys @ Broncos
Alright, Denver is still doing their Sunday prayers and it is working. Dallas is struggling without a passing game, and there fabulous running game is running dry as their backs are wearing down with injuries. I think Denver has something to prove and will come out on top.
Rams @ Niners
Niners are still for real. The Rams not so much.
Chargers @ Steelers
The Steelers finally put a decent running game together last week. However, it wasn't enough to beat the Bengals. I think the Chargers want to win just as bad. I think they need to prove that they are a decent team. Steelers better watch out.
Monday's Game:
Packers @ Vikings
Vikes are at home. The Vikes are clearly the better team. I think they are going to show everyone this on Monday. It will be a good game though. Not great though. I am guessing 24 to 14 Vikes.
Alright, I got to do better than last week. Hopefully things will go my way.

Zombies Everywhere.
Ohh yeah, Woody Harrelson is a bad-ass.
I am not sure how to start this review, so I figured the above statement was appropriate.
Zombieland is exactly what the previews made it out to be. Some virus infects people and then a great majority of the population become flesh eating Zombies.
The story line has you follow this square kid and watch him go through the troubles of survival. Along the way he meets Harrelson, and he plays the bad-ass you want him to be. Other than that, there really isn't much to story line.
The acting is really good though. Did I mention Harrelson is a bad-ass? Jesse Eisenberg plays the same roll he did in Adventureland, and he plays that role pretty well. Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin are supposed to be sisters, but they really don't do so well at making me believe that. There is a fake sense of love there, but Harrelson and Eisenberg steal the show so it really isn't that bad.
The set of this movie couldn't have been any better. They really nailed the costumes and the scenery. If such events were actually do to take place, I am sure it would like the what the film portrayed. Very well done.
However, two things really hurt this movie in my opinion. The previews show to many favorable parts so as one approaches, you already know what to expect. My second issue is with the dialog. It seemed like they were trying to go for witty punchlines, but they tried to hard. You know what I mean. We all know the guy who is trying to be cool, but he tries so hard it is freaking annoying. The dialog is that guy.
I thought the movie was funny, but it could have been a lot more funnier if the two issues mentioned weren't a problem. Since that is the case, this film gets an orgy out of a cherry pit (4 out of 5).
