"Mean" Josie Greene
Maybe it's just the changing weather, but I feel my luck beginning to fade. Or maybe I'm just feeling really nervous that special brand of nervousness brought on by two weeks of glorious and somewhat suspicious levels of success. Anyway, after racking up more wins than the boys in the office (heh heh heh), I feel like I'm picking on borrowed time. But, here goes nothing: You'll notice that I'm clinging to the idea that the Steelers will win (or at least cover) someday soon. And by that flaw no matter how well I do at this football pool thing you will know I am, in fact, only human.

L.I. Slim
Like Charlton Heston in "Planet of the Apes," I've returned to a world turned upside down. Two weeks in Korea, and Mean Josie Green has become our premier pigskin prognosticator. It's a madhouse a madhouse! but of course I'm happy for her, and also for the fact I wasn't around to be put to shame. Herewith, L.I. Slim's humble, tentative picks, from this stranger in a newly strange land. (You know, it was Earth all along.)
BUCS (-6.5) bring Jets back to earth
Redskins (+1) do same for G-MEN
COWBOYS (-6.5) roll over 49'ers
Titans (-7), alas, step on STEELERS
DOLPHINS (-4.5) douse Pats
Bengals (+11.5) stay with RAVENS
BEARS (pick) nudge Lions. Oh my!
Eagles (+1.5) beat SAINTS for some reason
Rams (-7) take FALCONS
CARDINALS (-1) plumb Pack
BRONCOS (-7) bury Chiefs at Wounded Knee
RAIDERS (-11.5) plunder Browns
CHARGERS (+2.5) hang with Seahawks
COLTS (-4) continue Jaguars' woes
