Is it murder, is it rape, is it the Watergate tapes
Or a mere hallucination caused by folks from outer space
No, it’s a skinny little boy from Cleveland, Ohio
Come to chase your women and drink your beer

These Week 6 NFL Picks have been quarantined in Cleveland with Yee-Hoyer Disease. It is contagious, and deadly for opponents.

brian hoyer winsThe symptoms start with the grittiness to take any punch. Actually, the symptoms seem to start with taking punches. But then, after a good ass-whipping and pummeling, when you catch Yee=Hoyer Disease, you don’t care what mean people do to you. You fight on. You don’t care what stupid people say about you.

My heroes at FOX News have told me that I should be afraid of Yee-Hoyer Disease, just like I should be afraid of pretty much everything else. The only I don’t currently fear is fear itself. All other things have me terrified.CDC Yee-Hoyer

That’s what’s so freaky about this Yee-Hoyer Disease. I love this disease! Is it a flu, a virus? I don’t know, but the symptoms rock.

I am a Browns fan, so I know how it all ends. There will be heartbreak. It’s just a matter of when, what kind, and to what degree.

But this Yee-Hoyer disease causes fever and weird hallucinations of a Super Bowl parade in Cleveland. Get that doctor away from me! I like this version of whatzgonnahappen.

COLTS AT TEXANS – It’s mid-October and Andrew Luck is getting better, while Ryan Fitzpatrick is getting even more Fitzpatricky. Colts 26, Texans 21

PATRIOTS AT BILLS – Until further notice, Tom Brady’s good game is the aberration in the pattern. More importantly, so is the good game of the Patriots offensive line. Plus, with new owners, this is the biggest game in the history of Buffalo. Yep, Week 6 in Buffalo – epic. Bills 27, Patriots 20

PANTHERS AT BENGALS – The Bengals are who we thought they were, afraid of bright lights. Not to worry. No bright lights for this game. Bengals 31, Panthers 20

STEELERS AT BROWNS – Brian Hoyer has the best day of his NFL life, profoundly flipping this rivalry. After he wins four or five Super Bowls as quarterback of the Browns, it won’t be better than beating the Steelers. Can it be? I mean, I have no idea on either. Browns 37, Steelers 36

PACKERS AT DOLPHINS – I don’t trust the Dolphins more than I don’t trust the Packers. Packers 30, Dolphins 20

LIONS AT VIKINGS – Teddy Bridgewater will always be pretty good whenever he isn’t injured. Vikings 27, Lions 19

BRONCOS AT JETS – So the Broncos fly in on Mountain time, right? That gives Geno Smith a two-hour head start, which seems like a logical reason to pick the Jets to win. Jets 24, Broncos 20

RAVENS AT BUCCANEERS – The Buccaneers are not collapsing, Just losing a lot. Ravens 38, Buccaneers 23

JAGUARS AT TITANS – As great as the NFL is, it’s the middle of October and this game is irrelevant. Jaguars 20, Titans17

CHARGERS AT RAIDERS – This is the kind of stupid game that the Chargers from past years would lose. I think they have turned that page. Chargers 40, Raiders 20

BEARS AT FALCONS – The Falcons confuse me. The Bears stupefy me. Falcons 33, Bears 30

REDSKINS AT CARDINALS – The Cardinals are banged up. The Redskins are bad. You can replace banged up. The Cardinals have. But you can’t fix bad any more than you can fix stupid. Cardinals 26, Redskins 16

COWBOYS AT SEAHAWKS – What? I can’t hear a word you’re saying if you are talking about the Cowboys winning this game in that loud stadium. Seahawks 28, Cowboys 20

GIANTS AT EAGLES – The Giants have looked better lately but this game will slow that momentum. Eli and the Giants are good at grinding. This game proves the season is a grind. Meanwhile, the Eagles aren’t grinders, they’re lucky. Eagles 27, Giants 24

49ers AT RAMS – Every year, I like a good fairy tale. This year, I like the legend of Austin Davis. Rams 22, 49ers 21

BYE AT CHIEFS – Andy Reid gives Jamal Charles the carries he meant to give him in last week’s game. He’s on my fantasy team this week.

BYE AT SAINTS – Rob Ryan gets a haircut, weight-loss surgery and a sex-change operation, but his defensive philosophy of “give up a lot of points” remains steady.
