Last week’s record: 9-7 2009 record against the spread: 122-84-2 (.592) Saturday, Dec. The offense hasn’t been able to score consistently and will need to score 30 to compete against a Saints team that is dominant at home DeMarcus Ware is iffy with a sprained neck Somehow, Cowboys' kicker Nick Folk still has a job. Wonder who he’ll blame this week when he shanks another kick Dec 10, 2006: a defining moment in Dallas Cowboys history. It was that night that the New Orleans Saints, under rookie head coach Sean Payton, handed the Cowboys their first December loss of the Tony Romo era, a 42-17 blowout on Monday Night Football. Payton was Romo's position coach and an Eastern Illinois graduate who helped convince Bill Parcells to take a flier on Romo. And to think what could’ve been if Payton had stayed in Dallas as the offensive play caller one more year and Parcells had left…Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Sean Payton Instead we got Wade Phillips and his bag of nothing I’m starting to get depressed now. 
Drew Brees should be able to pick apart the Dallas secondary with ease, and the Cowboys will quietly fade to 0-3 this December. Start getting that resume ready, Wade, because you are out! I felt an Alec Baldwin moment from Glengarry Glen Ross coming up inside of me. "Coffee is for closers only." This would be one of the three games this week (Indy having been one that's already covered) I would say to bet on. I know this Dallas Cowboys team too well. At least after the massacre, Wade will be gone. Pick: New Orleans Sunday, Dec. 20 Miami at Tennessee (-3) This should be a good match-up between Ricky Williams and Chris Johnson. Vince Young is likely to play as of now, but will be hampered by a hamstring injury. Call me a Longhorns apologist but I believe in Vince Young even at less then 100 percent.Pick: Tennessee New England at Buffalo (7) Wonder if any Buffalo defensive players will call out Randy Moss this week Brady is hurt (listed as probable), Moss could be mailing it in the rest of the season and the Patriots have been shit on the road this season This is Buffalo’s Super Bowl right here I want to take Buffalo so badly here, but I just can't This just feels like a Patriots statement game Stay away from this.

Pick: New England Arizona at Detroit (10 ) Thank you so much Arizona for those seven turnovers Monday night That cost the Liver a shot at a nice, juicy steak. The Liver convinced a personal fitness trainer buddy of his (yup, you read it right ) by the name of Mahnik to take a three team parlay that included Indy minus seven (cover), San Diego plus three (cover), and Arizona minus three (loss ). Historically, Kurt Warner has a great bounce-back game after throwing out garbage like he did Monday night Detroit is just a walking IR unit right now. Laying this on Arizona might be insanity, but then again you saw what the Ravens did to Detroit last week. By the way, The Liver did get that steak back with Indy covering Thursday night.Pick: Arizona San Francisco at Philadelphia (-8) San Francisco did an excellent job of deep-frying the Liver's steak last week. Still, this 49’rs team has been resilient for Mike Singletary.
Jets (OFF) I could not find a line for this all week due to injuries for "The Sanchize" , Matt Ryan, and Michael Turner. The Jets are hanging around in the wild card hunt and can’t afford a screw-up here to a Falcons team whose season ended weeks ago. The Sanchize has been cleared to play while Matt Ryan and Michael Turner are questionable game-day decisions.Pick: N.Y. Jets Chicago at Baltimore (-10) Baltimore has been able to feast on bad teams this year and should be able to pound a bad Bears team all day.Pick: Baltimore Cleveland at Kansas City (-2) I can’t wait for this one. Does anyone know that the Browns beat the Steelers last Thursday night Pick: Kansas City Houston at St. Louis (10) What did I say about the Lions being a walking IR unit You can throw the Rams in there as well. Rookie QB Keith Null is probably your Rams starter and judging by what happened last week, that’s not a good thing.
