The Fryguy Invectives: Frey's NFL Picks: Week 12

Sadly, while enjoying tables laden with food, surrounded by the love of family members and the good cheer of friends young and old, we often forget to offer thanks for the force that keeps us strong and secures our preeminence among the nations of the world.

Yep. I am talking about football. The REAL football. You know, the one where you don’t use your feet. American football.

So with humble heart and clear mind, let’s pick some games and remember to pity all those foolish foreigners who can’t possibly understand the coolness.

Green Bay Packers @ Philadelphia Eagles (-4)

Back in the 17^th century, the Swedish army under Gustav Adolphus was the envy of Europe.

Green Bay used to be good back in the 17^th century as well.

I’m betting on neither the Swedes nor the Packers to kick anyone’s ass going forward.

I’ll take the overrated upstart in Philly over the overrated decrepit carcass of Green Bay.

Tennessee Titans @ Chicago Bears (+4 ½)

Lots of teams in the NFL suck.

But in order to Chicago suck you have to start winning games late in the year to thoroughly jack up your draft position for next season.

I think it’s about time for this to start up.

Answer: Who are the Bears?

Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos (-3)

This game looks pretty trappy to me on paper but my apprehension is mitigated by the fact that while Denver is coming off a bye and healthy as an ox, the Chiefs are coming off a home loss to the dog-butt Buccaneers and are as healthy as that chick from Sixteen Candles with the neck brace.
