The Slant is a weekly article written by japf
Well, it’s another week, so here is another attempt at picking the games. I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. However, I should emphasize that these picks are for entertainment only. Well, they aren’t even for that….but don’t use them for betting purposes.
Last Weeks Results: 10-6
Week 2
SUNDAY 12:00 Titans at Bengals
Titans 23 Bengals 13: In a defensive battle the Titans come away with the victory. The Bengals suffer 22 false start penalties due to the fact that their team doctors incorrectly set Carson Palmer’s broken nose. Every time Palmer takes a deep breath his nose whistles. In the game, the o-line keeps thinking that an official has blown the whistle and they get out of their stances to see why…resulting in penalties. Later in the game, when the linemen finally learn to ignore the whistle, they are called for 8 late hit penalties.
SUNDAY 12:00 Bears at Panthers

The Slant (2)
by japf on Sep.03, 2008, under Opinion
Hi everyone. I decided that I would make an attempt at prognostication this year. After looking up what prognostication means, I decided to do so by picking each weeks NFL games. I will continue to do this all season, each week, until the powers that be decide I shouldn’t or until I start having a real lousy record or until its not funny anymore (don’t say it!!!).
Last Weeks Prediction Results: 23-0 (and there’s no proof to the contrary)
NFL WEEK 1 PREDICTIONS
THURSDAY NIGHT 6:00 Redskins at Giants
Giants 21 Redskins 17: Giants come from behind when Eli Manning completes a desperation pass to David Tyree who catches it no handed..between his butt cheeks for the game winning TD. Newly unretired DE Michael Strahan records 12 tackles and 3 sacks and makes informative yet interesting sideline reports throughout the game.
