Paranoia strikes deep
Into your world it will creep
– Buffalo Springfield
—
These week 4 NFL picks are on high terror alert because of an ideology that scares the 
crap out of me. Every week, well except this week, there is an NFL team that wants to beat the Cleveland Browns.
You can’t even pinpoint where the threat comes from. Week to week, it is a different city that is trying to take down the Cleveland Browns. It morphs. Scary, very scary.
Who are these people? Why don’t they believe what I believe?
Ah screw it. Starting next week, my team will be launching bombs and putting boots on the ground. (Note to FOX, my favorite news network: the word is “boots”. You guys crack me up. Literally. I am cracking up.).
And as you can surely guess, that’s whatzgonnahappen.
GIANTS AT REDSKINS – For some reason, I am at my best at picking these Thursday games. Giants 45, Redskins 14
PACKERS AT BEARS – When Aaron Rodgers refused to throw towards Richard Sherman in week 1, the Packers season ended. Bears 33, Packers 24
TITANS AT COLTS – Charlie Whitehurst? That’s the punchline, but you already knew that. Colts 27, Titans 20
PANTHERS AT RAVENS – The Ravens, like the devil, feed on bad news. Not enough bad news this week. Panthers 24, Ravens 18
BUCCANEERS AT STEELERS – The Buccaneers, last week, looked like the worst team in the history of football. The Steelers looked like they fixed their season. So of course, I am picking the Buccaneers. Buccaneers 22, Steelers 21
DOLPHINS AT RAIDERS – Derek Carr is already better than David Carr, and Joe Philbin is soon going to tell you that he thinks you could use a good life insurance policy. Raiders 27, Dolphins 10
BILLS AT TEXANS – It’s hard to pick this game because I don’t follow high school football. Texans 17, Bills 13
LIONS AT JETS – Geno Smith buys Michael Vick a dog. Lions 33, Jets 7
JAGUARS AT CHARGERS – Blake Bortles proves he is better than Chad Henne and Blaine Gabbert, so that’s a good thing, right. Chargers 40, Jaguars 20
FALCONS AT VIKINGS – Teddy Bridewater plays as if if he doesn’t have gloves. Matt Ryan doesn’t need them. Falcons 33, Vikings 17
EAGLES AT 49ERS – Which coach could you like to run your team for the next ten years? My answer: Eagles 31, 49ers 21
SAINTS AT COWBOYS – Rob Ryan is capable of making any quarterback look like Johnny Unitas. Tony Romo obliges. Cowboys 34, Saints 31
PATRIOTS AT CHIEFS – By the time this year is over, Tom Brady will look like Willie Mays at the end of his career. He may be pretty, but this is sad – and it’s the offensive line’s fault. Still, Gisele begins thinking that Jimmy Garrapolo is cute. Chiefs 23, Patriots 16
BYE AT CARDINALS – Just like Yoda, Bruce Arians is.
BYE AT BENGALS – Can we just play the playoffs in the regular season?
BYE AT BRONCOS – Peyton Manning buys a Russell Wilson jersey..
BYE AT RAMS – Shaun Hill is the starter and Austin Davis is the backup. Okay, why?
BYE AT SEAHAWKS – Russell Wilson enters the elite quarterback club, learns the secret handshake.
BYE AT BROWNS – Brian Hoyer doesn’t throw an interception, as usual.
