NFL Week 10 Picks/Cotto-Pacquiao Fight

Sorry this is coming out late, but I got caught up in the monster performance Manny Pacquiao put on display tonight in Las Vegas.

I thought the fight would be alot tougher than this. The first four round were epic action, with Cotto early hitting PacMan with some bomb left hooks, but the little guy has a chin that is as granite as the handwraps Antonio Margarito used in his gloves.

Pacquiao dropped Cotto in the 3rd, then again in the 4th with a vicious uppercutt. Cotto started backing up instead of being the aggressor. When this happened, the fight was all but over.

I will give Miguel Cotto all the credit in the world. He has always went toe to toe with the best of the best, unlike some other loudmouth Welterweights that TheSportsTown has ripped apart in the past. Cotto came in prime shape, and looked great early, but Pacquiao I do not think is human.

Cotto started bleeding in the latter rounds like Rocky Balboa fighting Drago, adn to his credit again, he kind of wanted to go out on his shield.

In the 12th round, Referee Kenny Bayless stopped the fight in the first minute of the round when Cotto was getting pounced with combos and backing up constantly. It was the right call by the offical, unlike most BCS Conferences.

Next for the inhumane freak we call PacMan? It has to be Mayweather. I just do not think after Mayweather saw this fight, he would want any part of Pacquiao. I do not blame him, but if he does not take the fight, it will taint his career. Undefeated or not.

Now, onto the NFL Picks. We already are 1-0 for Week 10, as we somehow won that God awful game on Thursday Night. The Degenerates Corner (A special section of SportsTown), had the house riding on the 49ers -3.5.

Did they flinch at the end when the Bears were 10 yards away?

Not for a second. That is how predictable and bad Jay Cutlet is.....


Miami Dolphins 31, Tampa Bay Bucs 13 - The Dolphins are getting a trend that they run the Wildcat like mad men early in games (NO, NE), then slow down as the game goes on. The Bucs rushing defense is so dreadful that Fantasy owners of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams will be quite smitten.

New York Jets 24, Jacksonville Jaguars 10 - I do not want to be the team that has to face a Rex Ryan defense after their Bye week and a loss. That defense is going to go nuts.

Kansas City Chiefs 20, Oakland Raiders 13 - I am on record, that this might be the worst NFL ever played in my lifetime. The Raiders are a joke. Their QB looks like a contestant on The Biggest Loser more than a pocket passer. The Chiefs, well just play like (Larry Johnson slur).

(I wish the Browns did not play on Monday Night, otherwise, the last game would of been a good introduction to THE worst franchise in the NFL)

I will have to settle for...

Minnesota Vikings 45, Detroit Lions 10 - Megatron is shooting blanks in Detroit this season. Rumor has it that Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford do not see eye to eye. Meanwhile, the fresh off Bye week Vikes are their opponent. Hide the women and children from this game. Maybe even putting the Direct TV on block for the channel.

Atlanta Falcons 23, Carolina Panthers 16 - How great was it that a Head Coach wants to yell and fight with opponents as much as the players do? I love Mike Smith. I could of played for Mike Smith for sure. Carolina keeps this close, but the always Delhomme Picky 6 awaits, followed by the MMA sanctioned fight between Steve Smith and whoever gets in his way.

Washington Redskins 14, Denver Broncos 10 - UPSET SPECIAL! Yes, I know the Redskins are a bigger mess than Jessica Simpson at the end of the Tony Romo relatonship, but their defense is nails. What has Kyle Orton done against very good defenses? The Steelers in the 2nd half are the blueprint.

Tennessee Titans 24, Buffalo Bills 20 - Chris Johnson already has 125 yards and a TD in this game.... kickoff is not for hours. The Bills have given up a few 300 rushing yard days, and now they have to face Ussain Bolt in pads? Lonnnnnnnng Day coming up.

New Orleans Saints 63, St. Louis Rams 10 - This is more of a mismatch than me setting foot in a boxing ring with Mike Tyson circa 1987. At least I beat Mike Tyson in the Nintendo game. The Rams have a better shot at finding an eskimo to sell ice to.

Arizona Cardinals 31, Seattle Seahawks 21 - I want to pick Seattle, but all I see in my head is the beating the Cards gave the Hawks a few weeks back in Seattle. It was 14-0 before Matt Hasselback got one snap. I cannot see the outcome any different.

Philadelphia Eagles 34, San Diego Chargers 27 - Phillip Rivers, meet the blitz that willmake you not get out of bed Monday morning. The Eagles are due for a big game by their defense. Brian Westbrook will be back, so him and Tomlinson can star in Grumpy Old Men 3: I can still run for 4 yards a carry. Remember, it is a fiction.

Cincinnati Bengals 20, Pittsbrugh Steelers 17 - Kind of an upset, except for the fact that the Bengals won round 1. Big Ben is passing like a wildman, but he is facing maybe the best CB tandem in the league now, consisting of Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph. This would be a massive win for the Bengals and would all but assure them of the divison with the tiebreaker and their remaining schedule.

New England Patriots 34, Indianapolis Colts 31 - The only reason why I am picking The Brady Bunch is because the Colts are on their 13th and 14th DB's this season. If 6 DB's are the dime, then what the bumbleclot is the 13th and 14th? The Peso? Peyton the MVP keeps it close, but finally takes defeat this season.


Last Week: 9-4

Season 81-47
