My Jack Torrance pick for this week is the Dolphins over the Pats (or at least I'll wager that they'll cover the 42-point spread). Speaking of the Dolphins, how bad can things get for this team? Have you ever seen a group of people have collectively such crappy luck? I heard someone mention the other day that as a Dolphins fan, they were actually hoping Miami lost every game this season. And the thing is, the Dolphins just might oblige. And as a fan who likes it when other teams don't do well (pulling for the Steelers made last year especially difficult), even I feel sorry for Miami -- and maybe moreso for their coach (who incidentally, is the only coach in the league still sporting the moustache/feathered hair combo -- always a nice touch).
And maybe that's why I'm picking them to cover a six touchdown point spread, because I see better things for this team -- oh wait, I almost forgot -- I also really dislike the Patriots (and yes, it's for no other reason than they are so good) and I enjoy watching them lose almost as much as I enjoy watching the Steelers win -- as you can imagine, I still require massive amounts of therapy to combat what I had to go through last season (in case you forgot, the Pats were 14-2 and won the Super Bowl; the Steelers were 6-10 and beat San Diego).
Anyway, enough with the babbling. Here are the week 5 picks:
