For those of you who didn't get it, Spencer and Heidi are "characters" on the "show" The Hills. Katie watches it semi-regularly, but can't really explain why. Most of the "characters" from it have become "celebrities" and have been appearing on talk shows and on MTV things. Spencer and Heidi have no value to this world and I feel it is a waste of time to pay any attention to them... look I just spent several minutes trying to explain something I feel is worthless.
Once again, I underestimated the Cardinals and they punished me. The way they are playing has me really thrown off. At least the Ravens haven't surprised everyone. Before I continue with my picks, I would like the record to show that I have no earthly idea who will win on Sunday. NONE. With that in mind, here is the best I can do:
Steelers over Ravens... Here's the problem with this game: it's always hard to tell whether turnovers/penalties should count against the offense or for the defense. Meaning, are turnovers and penalties that kill team's chance to win (Titans last week) the fault of those commiting them or those creating them. Penalties could easily fit into the former category, especially dumb personal fouls, but is an interception a mistake by the quarterback or a good play by the defense. Was the Ravens defense on point or were the offenses they played having bad games? It's a question that should probably never be answered. I'll say the Steelers defense is a bit better than the Dolphins and could force some mistakes, while their offense has the capability to do the things the Titans had success with last week.
Eagles over Cardinals... A similar problem with this game: The Cardinals defense has played lights out the last two weeks with great game plans. But some thing about last week's game is still sitting with me. Why did the Panthers abandon the run so early? They were ahead, they had the momentum and Jake Delhomme blew it. Worst coaching strategy ever. So again, was it the Cardinals good game plan or the mistakes made by the other team? I say McNabb is capable of staying away from mistakes and the Eagles defense will prepare a game plan to keep the Cardinals offense down.
