Clay's Ova/Unda of Da Week

Folks, with the 2nd half of the National Football League officially upon us, there are many thing that we now know that we could only speculate on a few weeks ago like how much Geno Smith sucks or even though Russell Wilson isn't black enough he's still a pretty good player.  BUT, but, but, there are some things that never change and the fact that Tom Brady welcomes in old pal Peyton Manning to Gillette with both teams scalding hot is something that we all expected.  
Brady's been an absolute MONSTER in October not throwing a pick and tossing 12 touches while leading the Pats to a 4-0 record.  I mean he might have had a shaky start to the season, but no one is stupid enough to give up on Mr. Bündchen, am I right?  Fitzy?
Peyton has been Peyton so far this season and when Peyton is Peyton he's Joe Montana, ok?  Basically what that means for all of you not apart of #MongoNation, Peyton is killing it.
So, with the Broncos putting up 32 a game and Tom's Brady Bunch getting just under 30 a game there is no question which way I am going for this huge game on Sunday at 4:25pmEST=UNDA
Yea that's right I said UNDA.  
This game is going to be an old time slobberknocker where the defenses control the game.  It's going to be cold, windy, and muddy up there in Foxboro, and the last I checked neither Manning or Brady are mudders.  They hate the mud.  
Final= Broncos-28 Patriots-21 UNDA 53.5

To piggyback on what I was alluding to earlier, all us us fans know the the next big thing in the NFL is Andrew Luck, ok?  He's what us in the biz call a "Gunslinga".  A "Gunslinga" tosses the rock around  the field with zero fear.  If a "Gunslinga" throws a pick they don't care.  They keep throwing it up for grabs.  Luck is the new age while Brett Favre is the O.G.
This "Gunslinga" title may seem like a bad thing, but to be successful in this league you got to have no fear and that's exactly what this kids got, zero fear.  The guy's fearless and he loves the big spot.
That's why he is drooling over the thought of heading into the big city for Monday Night Football to take on my 2 time Super Bowl MVP Easy E and the New York Football Giants.  
With the Giants #1 RB, Rashad Jennings, still on the shelf with a bum knee, Eli will be throwing the ball all over MetLife Stadium because Andre Williams has proven he's not ready to shoulder the load.
So, with the young up and coming "Gunslinga" facing off against another QB that's going to be throwing all night we are going to be seeing A TON of points.  And that's why we are taking da OVA
Final= Giants-35 Colts-31 OVA 50.5

WHAT ABOUT THE DOGS? - Fitz's Dog of the Week

Fitz's Dog of the Week....New York Jets +10 



For my first ever What About the Dogs? pick I have to go with one half of the pair who inspired the section. Mike Vick (Cris Collinsworth Voice) makes his first start for Gang Green this weekend in the always tough on a visitor Arrowhead against Andy Reid's Chiefs. The Chiefs are somewhat rolling as of late after winning their last two games over their divisional foe Chargers and the St. Louis Rams. 

So why the heck do I like Vick and the Jets as my dog of the week? Well I firmly believe that after a full week of practice and preparation as the starter Mike Vick is able to make enough plays for the offense to keep this thing within a touchdown. He'll get help in doing so from the Jet's defensive front four who should be able to slow down running back Jamaal Charles and the "game manager" Alex Smith, who is nicked up with a shoulder strain. Also, this could be the first time all season that Idzik and Rex's make-shift secondary faces a group of wide receivers that they actually  should be able to cover. Sure the group is led by Dwayne Bowe who's made a few plays as of late, but we all know Bowe is much more focused on Smith passing him a dubbie instead of the pigskin. 

When Vick entered the game after Geno's pick party in the 1st quarter this past Sunday it may not have changed the outcome of the game but it did seem to ignite an energy through the team. It's the type of energy a legitimate NFL QB brings to a team. While I loved the Sanchize,  this was the type of energy that I haven't seen since the old Jet "Gameday Host" Jenn Sterger was getting dickpics sexted to her from the ol' gunslinger Brett Farve. Although last Sunday was a complete disaster I do think it afforded the Jets an opportunity to officially name their only legitimate NFL starting quarterback on the roster as the starter with a full week to prepare for their opponent. Give me Sexy Rexy and the best QB who's ever started for him with 10 points given to them.
