Hope you enjoy the show, everyone!

Saved by the buoancy of Cherilus!

The Lions saved themselves from themselves by being themselves. When Gosder Cherlius chop blocked Allen to rile up the Vikings, it was ON. Suddenly, the once hapless Vikes flicked the switch and beat the Lions the rest of the way. Final score: Vikes 20, Lions 16.

The Lions quest for 0-16 continues. Now they're 0-13! Only three games remain for them to achieve the ultimate infamy. They've been playing with such amazing heart, though, I can't see it happening. Coming up on today's "Dave in the City" podcast, I'll go over how the Lions' energy will put a dent into a perfect season.

A slight bummer, but the Lions truly deserve a win after these last two games.

Special note: A big preview of the BCS bowl games awaits you, also on today's "Dave in the City" podcast.

Oof and 3

Love those LOCKS of the Week!

Nothing across for any of my LOCKS of the Week. When will I learn my lesson and just pick the opposite of my gut instinct? I said "Lions win"... they blow it. I said "Packers cover"... they blow it. Then... I had the audacity to actually expect the Broncos to cover a Chiefs game. Well done, Denver. You have once again put yourselves on the "Dave's Wall of Shame."

Really, Denver? REALLY?!?!?! The Chiefs? Ugh... if you don't want to waste money, never, ever, EVER bet anything on the Chiefs. You cannot rely on them to do anything right. I thought I'd learn my lesson. Nope! Geez, louise!

Week 14: Dave's BLOCKS of the Week

Dave's (swish!)
LOCKS (fwish!)
of the Week (splish!)

Dave's LOCKS of the Week
Week 14

No big introduction this week, as we get right into the thick and the skinny! Ever notice how folks will say "we'll get to the thick of it" or "here's the skinny". Imagine, two opposite terms describing the same thing!

This is going to be a big week of desperation... TO THE PICKS!!

First let's go to Detroit, where the Lions have been tamed to play like little pussy cats. Oof... not good times for Detroit Fans... that is until they go to Joe Louis or the Palace. The Lions are at home to play the Vikings, and I think Vegas knows something we don't know. How is there no line for the game?? The game has been taken off the board!! Wow!!!!!!!!! All I can say is, if anybody's losing to the Lions it's the Minnesota Vikings. They have to be the most inconsistent team in the NFL, they have almost no passing game, and they really should have lost the first meeting with the Lions. That game was played in the Metrodome... THIS ONE will be played in the motor city. Take the Lions to win outright baby (no line)!!!

From cold and windy Detroit we go to... cold and windy Green Bay. The Packers are getting (-5.5) against the usually lousy Texans. The Packers really need this game. It's as simple as this: if they lose here, they're out of the playoffs. You can bet Green Bay will play the game of its life. No defense? No problem! The Texans will turn the ball over for them. Pack to cover (-5.5).

Now we fly from the Green Bay to the Rocky Mountain High in Denver, CO. The Broncos, having dominated the Jets last week are home to host the Chiefs. The Broncos got torched in the first meeting over in Arrowhead. This time, the Broncos, and the elusive to pick against the spread Chiefs, go at it again. Nothing here would surprise me. If the game was decided by a field goal, I'd almost expect it. I could even see the Chiefs winning 58-10. But today is gut check time for the Broncs.

On Thanksgiving Night, the Cardinals really needed to make a stand and go out and CLOBBER a struggling team. They folded like the big wusses they are, but the Broncos will fare much better. Denver is favored to win by (-9.0), and I'm gonna give it to them. The Broncos better not blow this one... they need to really dominate in order to build credibility. And I think they're gonna do it. Broncos cover the whole (-9.0) yards.

All three teams are on their way to Building Block wins... here on

Dave's (trickle)
LOCKS (boink)
of the Week (fwip!)

Here's to a big time Week 14!


Recap: Lions win at home (no line), Packers (-5.5) cover at home, Broncos (-9.0) cover at home

Taking one for the team

I couldn't help it. I had to pick against my Steelers last week. It just seemed too delicious not to taste, and look at the results! The Steelers completely dismantled the Patriots, all at Gillette, 33-10.

I know it blew LOCKS of the Week, but man, I was so happy to see the Steelers win one for the Willie! ...Parker, that is.

Poor Willie. He's been out for a good portion of the season, and as a result, the Steelers running game has been shaky at best. Maybe they DO miss Alan Faneca. My, oh my.
