Hondo scraped together a solid performance last week, posting an 8-6 mark that included a sweep of the Sunday and Monday nighters. The late surge is expected to provide Mr. Aitch with genuine momentum that will lead to a huge Week 7.
Giants over Cards: Last week’s Giant disgrace in the Big Difficult turns this into a Big Blue Bounce Back Special. That means statuesque Kurt Warner, who has no ground game to lean on, pays a painful price with a nasty case of turf butt.
Raiders over Jets: Mercifully, Rex is dumbing down the game plan for Sanchez. Joe Girardi doesn’t understand why Ryan doesn’t just go to the bullpen.
Chiefs over Chargers: What a shocker, another Norvelous Norv team is underachieving. That makes the Chiefs look like a lock against the dead Bolts.
Colts over Rams: Gotta hand it to Ms. Charleen, the former Post Sports Department secretary and Native Canadian known as Typing Bear. She goes 2-12 last week but somehow still is able to maintain her lead in the Bettor’s Guide Women’s Division. Way to go!
Bears over Bengals: Wonder what Charlie Weis did with that timeout he didn’t use in last week’s loss to Southern Cal, even though the game ended on a third-down pass play. Guess he just had to eat it.
Browns over Packers: According to Ed Buckmir, junior half of the Brothers Buckmir, this is the Larry Craig-Barney Frank Game Of The Year.
Vikings over Steelers: Steve Phillips no doubt likes the Vikes. Judging by all the photographic evidence, Studly Steve’s definitely a ‘dog player.
Patriots over Buccaneers: It’s a big number, but the Man in the Ratty Hoodie reiterated in last week’s 59-0 blowout he still enjoys humiliating an opponent. Bucs coach Raheem Morris knows a London broil is coming — sources say he had his players working all week on their stiff upper lip.
Texans over 49ers: From Mick Buckmir, elder half of the Brothers Buckmir: “Not until he apologizes on live television will Studly Steve receive his Letterman’s jacket from the Pitino School Of Putting Your Family Through Hell.”
Panthers over Bills: Speaking of Letterman, nobody could have been happier to see the headlines taken over by Balloon Boy (and now Steve Phillips) than Intern Man.
Dolphins over Saints: Barking Mutt, who’s well-versed in all matters canine, woofs in with a suspicion that Studly Steve was unaffected by his gal’s paucity of pulchritude during their moments of passion because he had her wear Bobby Valentine’s old Groucho glasses.
Falcons over Cowboys: Sad to see that Rosie O’Donnell is splitting with her wife Kelli, but she won’t be on the open market for long. Rumors are flying Rosie already has someone from the other team in hot pursuit: That’s right, Studly Steve Phillips.
Eagles over Redskins: If nothing else, the last two days have proven to ailing Hondo he’s bowl-eligible.
BEST BETS: Falcons, Giants, Eagles.
