, 8-8 for the week, 25-23 overall, ... I'm providing an invaluable service here ... somebody's gotta' bring up the rear for all you overachievers to have something to brag about,

That's cold when even the die hard picks against his own team, then again it is Detroit

Well, it was 48-deg this morning ... the Lions haven't won @ Arizona since forever, but I thought I'd think outside-of-the-box and pick them to win last week, and true to form, they found yet another new & exciting, unconventional way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, ... the more things change, the more they stay the same in the "D" ... sad to say, but it's the "same ol' Lions" once again this year, .

They haven't won @ Washington since god-knows-when either ... I won't be making that mistake again, ... plus, I gotta' start putting some picks in the "win" column, 'team loyalty' is gonna' have to take a back seat for the moment, .

It's another hard week to pick, I bet about half those games are going to be decided by one score or less ... again.

Loyalty can only take you so far......... Payton has a hard time with that too.

"So you're telling me I'm a lot like Payton ... " ,
