8th Annual Weenie Dog Football Challenge

Bad break for me last week with that Falcons pick! I missed a win by 2 points...oh well...moving on to week #6.

This week I am taking the Denver Broncos -4 over the Cleveland Browns.

The Broncos looked a little shady vs the slightly improved Raiders last week, but they did pull off the win. Their defense is rock solid, and is keeping them in games till the end. All Peyton has to do is throw a pair of TD's to win the game.

The Browns offense will struggle, and broncos will win again.

Good luck to all of those who are making these weenie wagers.

Here is my tail-waggin' pick of the week. I am taking the Minnesota Vikings minus-3 1/2 points at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. KC's loss of Jamaal Charles is going to hurt, both physically and emotionally especially this week. The Vikings defense is pretty decent and should keep the Chiefs in check. Let's go with KC minus-3 1/2 points.

Roscoe, I tried to give you a winner last week. Let me try again. You have about 25 minutes to back out of your pick and take the over-50 1/2 points in the Green Bay-San Diego game. You can thank me later. Woof!

Roscoe, bad dog. You missed it by a point there little weenie.

Results from Week #6

Roscoe's Bronco's pick was a winner, but Denver did not cover the spread versus the Browns by a single point. Damnit!


Blackjack's pick was confusing, as he took both sides of the same game, he started his post with "taking Minnesota", and finished with "take The chiefs" I guess I'll give him the win, since one of those two picks happened. KC lost against the vikes, but the Vikes beat KC by more then 3.5

****Standings After week #6 ****

1st place Blackjack Pooch with a record of 4-2

2nd place Roscoe with a record of 2-4



Better luck next week boys!

Boy was my post confusing last week. I'm glad I went out of my way to explain why I was picking the Vikings. But geesh! That's what I get for waiting until 4:36 p.m. on Friday to make my pick and chicken-peck my post on a cell phone.

I won't procrastinate this week. I will get my pick in on hump day. I am taking the 6:30 a.m. (Pacific time) morning game from London. Yep, a kickoff before my first pee on Sunday morning. I am taking the Buffalo Bills minus-5 1/2 points over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's true the Bills are dinged up, but Lesean McCoy is getting healthy and quarterback Tyrod Taylor is expected back. Buffalo is simply better than Jacksonville and will win by at least a touchdown. Look for the Jaguars to lose their fifth straight game.

Now I am going to practice my British bark the next three days so I will be ready for the game.

(Edited to correct the kickoff time.)

This week, I am going with the San Diego Chargers minus 4 over The Oakland Raiders!

Chargers have played tough teams pretty close this year, and their record should be a lot better then it is now. The Raiders coming in to town is like an early X-mas present!

Raiders suck! Chargers win big!

Good luck to all of those making these weenie wagers

Results from Week #7

Both weenie dogs took dumps this week.


Roscoe's Chargers pick was a smelly loser, as the Raiders whipped that ass in San Diego!


Blackjack's pick was also a loser as the Bills lose to the Jaguars on foreign land

Hello dogs and humans (but not cats)

Time to weigh in for Week 8. But first I must declare that I suck at picking games in Jolly Old England. Something about the travel and time changes. That's my excuse anyway. So I will be laying off the early morning game this week after the Jets ate too much Bubbles and Squeak the night before their pitiful performance last week. And a little too much Newcastle Brown Ale and Old Speckled Hen, too, I might add after watching the Jets' awful performance against the woeful Jaguars last week. But I distress.

I'm getting back in the win column back in the good old US of A this week with an over pick. I like the over-46 point line between the Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The Cards have one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, averaging 33 points and more than 400 yards offense a game. Cleveland has wisely benched Johnny Football and Josh McCown, the grizzled veteran, will run the offense within then system. Cleveland is sixth in the NFL in offense. In other words, this game has offense written all over it.

Let's go with the over 46. First Energy Stadium will live up to its name on Sunday.

This week I am taking the Atlanta Falcons -7 at home over the Tampa Bay Bucs.

The Bucs are banged up, they lost a pair of key wide receivers, and their running game is not up to par.

On the other hand, the Falcons are playing good ball, and they love dominating at home. Running back Davonte Freeman, is a fantasy footballers dream, and Julio Jones is a wide receiving monster.

This should be an easy win for Atlanta!!

Good luck to all of you that are making these weenie wagers this week!
