Pickin' & Grinnin': Week 10

Coming at you live from lovely Kansas City (Editor's Note: Not actually lovely), this is Pickin' & Grinnin'. We're actually on quite a roll here, with three consecutive 4-1 weeks bringing our season record to a robust 26-20.

I suppose that The Tradition dictates we make a call on the Broncos-Chiefs game, and here we have a couple concurrent themes going. We've capitalized on the lousy Broncos, who are 1-7 against the spread this year. But as profitable as it's been to take Denver's opponent this year, it seems downright un-American to bet on the Chiefs in this rivalry. So here it is: if you're a man, and you're 40, put your money on the Broncos and take the points. If you like to win money, go with the Chefs. The Pick: Broncos +3

I must have missed something, because the spreads I saw showed Buffalo over Miami favored by a mere four points. That's a joke, right? Is Jim Kelly starting for the Bills? Even if he was, that's about as easy a cover as I can remember. The Pick: Bills -4

It's a two-team league, and Indianapolis is one of those teams. San Diego is not, so this line is way too close for my taste. The Pick: Colts -4 1/2

Detroit takes their traveling carnival of Jesus and football to Glendale, Arizona for a game with the Cards. It's a pick 'em, which is gambling parlance for, well, pick 'em. Select a winner, you fence-straddling fuck. Okay, I go with cauldron of intelligence stirred by Matt Millen and Mike Martz. The Pick: Lions

And, finally, a big dog just for fun. Go with Derek "Horse Balls" Anderson and Cleveland getting double digits in Pittsburgh. The Pick: Browns +10
