...not too mention an early post from DaKine (aka Arnie). Hello semi-pro football fans as we all can see the board has been very busy in regard to a specific game resulting in 99-0 score. Things are so crazy on this board people are resulting to writing in German for their posts! Ay Caramba! All I can say is that I've sold the rights to this board to Fox and they plan on making a reality TV show about it kind of like CNN's Crossfire. Also, I am working on a new television series called "Hangin' with Hoopsberg." It will be about a clinical psychologist and a midget (played by Jose Moreno, you know I got nothing but love for ya bro! HA). It will be about the analysis of the other's misadventures with a love story only Oedipus Rex could love (female star later to be named). Okay, enough with the stupid BS I'm here to put what we all want...misguided attempts to create predictions!!!!
Game of the Week (Us scientists enjoy acronyms therefore GOTW) Jags/Bucs.
Jags 21 Bucs 20
In all honesty I was somewhat nervous to put a score down because this one can go either way. Both teams are very physical and very tough. The Bucs showed true guts and flat out desire to win when they played the Saints. A QB who moves well and isn't afraid to run the rock when a breakdown occurs and two big play receivers who don't wear cleats they wear track spikes (please don't take that comment literally). The Jags on the other hand have the tough running of DeWalt and as Tony Colyer(sorry bro couldn't resist
) knows, give him a head of steam and he'll go X button on you (for those who don't play Madden that is speed burst button, if there's a new one sorry I only own 2003)! Traditionally each have a defense that like to attack and if you let those backers turn the corner or penetrate the gap it doesn't take a mathematician to see poor execution 
good execution = a loss. But like I said this one can go either way because it's in Portland, it could mean a playoff spot, and both teams are competitive. 'Nuff said.
Bengals 13 Raiders 30
Coach Walker and the silver and black host the cats from t-town that may equate into a not-so-stellar game. I'm not saying the Bengals are a bad squad I just don't think they have the firepower to take these swashbucklers head up. I defend my point by stating this simple observation: The Raiders play good D. Giving up a measley 49 points through six games is a great and tough accomplishment. The Bengals have a competitive offense but D wins championships, O puts you in the stands. This is also an important game when looking at the playoff bracket because an upset could result in and opportunity for a 5 or 6 spot sneak in. Hey if the game doesn't work out for the Bengals they can always check out the The Seventh Annual Celtic Lughnasadh Fair & Games, they have a pie baking contest!
Hawks 35 Bolts 21
Both teams are undefeated, both teams are coming off shutout victories, the difference? One team scored 38 the other 99! As we all know compliments of Dr. L Hoopsberg (by the way, how come there are alot of -bergs and -villes in OR?) they birds of prey are being scrutinized for running up the score against the Panthers, well my two cents are 1 cent)It's over 2 cent)Lets now focus on this much more exciting game. That score may be to the Bolts' benefit and any overlooking this squad may result in the biggest upset since Godzilla lost to Biollante (he beat him later). The Hawks have gotten a key acquisition in Lance Westendorf to compliment greater depth then the Mariana trench (for you O-lineman Mariana is not the red sauce on spaghetti). The Bolts are playing solid and disciplined football. As with other predictions I was thinking this one would be a walkover but after a talking with a friend (SHOUT OUT) and some critical thinking I have come to the conclusion the Bolts aren't the sissies everyone accuses them of being for having a "weak" schedule so far. They're at home, they're hyped, and they're playing a playoff game at week 7. Unfortunately the birds will soar above the clouds.
Ravens 21 Viks 7
Both teams are enduring disheartening seasons and just have not seemed to put it together. The Ravens played a great preseason but their game with the Saints seemed to set the tone for the season. In every league their must be a first place and last place. Unfortunately the Viks have a last place record, but they have first place class. I'll root for the orange and blue but the numbers tell me this game will be vanilla at best.
Cavs 14 Panthers 7
The French bodyguards head south to figure out how many ways they can skin a cat. After the Panthers' last game they don't appear to have any hide left. Hopefully since they're a non-profit organization they can use all those points as a tax write off! This one will probably be the equivalent on watching a Detroit Tigers' game or the weather channel. Once again there's always the Seventh Annual Celtic Lughnasadh Fair & Games, did I mention the pie baking contest?
Bucks 9 Avz 21
There must be a glitch in the matrix because this game has occured about a million times. Both these teams are virtually on a first name basis and send each other Christmas cards. There's nothing left to be said but have a ton 'o fun knocking the snot out of each other and travel safe.
Okay, that seems to be it for this week. Hopefully I've covered the point spread or else I'll be making these from an undisclosed location via the witness protection program. Week 7 should prove to have a balance a ho-hum and exciting games. Nevertheless there should be enough bells rung this weekend to make Quasimodo jealous. As always feel free to leave messages of disgust and hatred in my inbox or put them into public forum. By the way remember to vote Jose Moreno (Ho-zay, Josey Brown, or Hose) for president in 2004
