Kevin is Embarrassing Kyle on a Weekly Basis – Week 5

October 9, 2011 Kyle

Ok, another week, another round of Kevin v. Kyle NFL Picks. The Cowboys blew a game for me, so I almost made one game up. But alas, Kevin is even further ahead. Here’s our picks for Week 5.

Kevin: Philadelphia Eagles 27 • Buffalo Bills 23

People started buying the Bills as a legit team and then of course they lose to the Bengals. Does anyone really believe the Eagles are going to be 1-4 at the end of this week?

Kyle: Eagles 31 – Bills 20: Eagles get back on track.

Kevin: Cincinnati Bengals 18 • Jacksonville Jaguars 13

Jacksonville’s immense fear of the gingers provides the Bengals with enough confidence to overcome being a bad team. Also, the Jaguars are an even worse team than the Bengals.

Kyle: Bengals 14 – Jaguars 20

—

Kevin: Tennessee Titans 17 • Pittsburgh Steelers 21

I’ve found that it’s normally beneficial to me when I bet against my favorite team to win the game. So… THERE’S NO WAY THE STEELERS LOSE THIS GAME!

Kyle: Titans 20 – Steelers 24

—

Kevin: Kansas City Chiefs 12 • Indianapolis Colts 15

I told you this was going to be the only week I picked the Colts. The Chiefs blew it by picking up that win last week against the Vikings by the way.

Kyle: Chiefs 24 – Colts 13: We’re 2-3 baby!

—

Kevin: Oakland Raiders 28 • Houston Texans 23

The Raiders get back above .500, which is still not enough to bring Al Davis back to life.

NOTE: Kevin wrote these picks two days BEFORE Al Davis died. Proof that he is psychic and I am doomed. HE PREDICTED A DEATH. BEWARE OF KEVIN.

Kyle: Raiders 20 – Texans 23: The Raiders pay tribute to Al Davis by doing what they did most of the last years of his life. Losing.

—

Kevin: Arizona Cardinals 16 • Minnesota Vikings 21

Joe Theismann criticized Donovan McNabb this week. Naturally I want anything Theismann says to be thrown right back at his face because, well… he’s Joe Theismann.

Kyle: Cardinals 20 – Vikings 24

—

Kevin: New Orleans Saints 31 • Carolina Panthers 21

I guess I have to admit that Cam Newton is actually pretty good (reverse jinx alert).

Kyle: Saints 34 – Panthers 20

—

Kevin: Seattle Seahawks 0 • New York Giants 35

Let’s look at the facts here. Seattle is traveling across the country to play a 1:00 ET game in New York. It’s an away game for Seattle, which automatically makes them a worse team than they actually are by about 40-50 times (and they are initially horrible). Even Eli Manning can’t screw this up can he?

Kyle: Seahawks 10 – Giants 25

—

Kevin: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24 • San Francisco 49ers 13

The 49ers cannot keep winning with Alex Smith at quarterback. I refuse to believe it. I won’t. I will NOT do it.

Kyle: Bucs 30 – 49ers 20

—

Kevin: San Diego Chargers 34 • Tim Tebow 6 long chants from the crowd to put him in.

It doesn’t matter what I think Denver will score. It only matters if Tebow plays (according to ESPN). By the way, this prediction means the Chargers will win if that wasn’t clear.

Kyle: Chargers 40 – Broncos 14: The Broncos are worse than the Chiefs.

—

Kevin: New York Jets 17 • New England Patriots: Whatever Rex Ryan’s weight is in points.

Rex Ryan is fat. Hence he weighs a lot. Therefore the Patriots will score a lot of points.

Kyle: Jets 24 – Pats 30: Ryan always plays the Pats close to the belt. Food jokes.

—

Kevin: Green Bay Packers 35 • Atlanta Falcons 31

So Brett Favre was in the news this week (sigh).

Kyle: Packers 24 – Falcons 32

—

Kevin: Chicago Bears 27 • Detroit Lions 30

Eventually the Lions will lose, but I can’t pick it this week because Mike Martz is involved with the team playing against them.
