Posting early this week due to vacation. Home team in caps:
Denver (+3.5) over BALTIMORE
There’s something to be said of the sight of a man on horseback wearing a rooster hat carrying a raven. Despite the raven’s best efforts to free himself, he remained tightly in Maxwell’s grasp. Though the bronco was far from bucking, at least he could move around.
BUFFALO (+3.5) over Houston
As you could guess, a steer and a buffalo are hardly mortal enemies. These guys were quite content grazing in each other’s presence. For some reason, however, the buffalo was always in front of the steer no matter how hard I tried to change this layer order. PhotoShoppers know this means the buffalo is always on top.
Cleveland (+13.5) over CHICAGO
CHICAGO (-13.5) over Cleveland
Oh boy. I confused my cities again. I originally gave this to Cleveland thinking they were the Bengals for some reason. That tiger mauled the bear with ease. When I corrected myself by placing a fresh conjured brownie in front of the newly resurrected bear, well, do not feed the bears.
DALLAS (-9.5) over Seattle
Unfortunately, the well-romanticized image of cowboys vs. birds of prey wasn’t realized in Scribblenauts, so I had to stir the pot by handing the cowboy a fish. Sure enough, the seahawk did everything in its power to steal the meal away. The cowboy never relinquished his prize, however.
DETROIT (-3.5) over St. Louis
Who’s not excited for this game? Seriously, when was the last time Detroit was favored to win anything? In the world of Scribblenauts, the lions won easily. The only thing left of the ram was the haunting memory of its anguished bleating.
GREEN BAY (=2.5) over Minnesota
Let’s face it, this is really a battle of Brett Favre vs. Aaron Rodgers. “Favre” summoned “fiacre” a small 4-wheeled carriage. Rodgers, however, invoked the mighty power of Ra, who quickly hopped into the Fiacre and anxiously awaited his slaves and concubines to cart him away to glory. You do not mess with the Sun God.
INDIANAPOLIS (-11.5) over San Francisco
No “Forty Niners” so I went with “fencer” instead. He rode around the colt, but nothing special happened, so I conjured up a lance and jousted the mounted warrior. Despite being well armed, the fencer died well before the colt.
N.Y. JETS (+3.5) over Miami
The last time these two teams met up in Scribblenauts, the dolphin humped the jet until it was reduced to a pair of tires. Quite easily the most remarkable result yet. Not so on the rematch. This time, the jet was dropped from a great height onto the screaming dolphin. Credit to the dolphin, however, who spent the last few moments of its life fighting back.
SAN DIEGO (-16.5) over Oakland
Egypt isn’t done with us yet. The sun god Ra made yet another appearance, this time as a suggestion for “Raiders”. You know when I said “do not mess with the Sun God?”. Well, when you’re an opaque, lightning-filled cloud of sun-blocking power, you can mess with him.
TENNESSEE (-2.5) over Jacksonville
The Titans could really use the Scribblenauts Titan on their squad because he’s the only one that’s winning. Though it took 2 swift kicks to the jaguar’s ass to put him down, they were still quite swift.
ARIZONA (-8.5) over Carolina
As hungry for poultry as the panther was, that Cardinal just wouldn’t die. Look for the Cards to lose, but still cover the spread.
N.Y. Giants (+2.5) over PHILADELPHIA
1 kick to the plumage. Why are the titans and giants all about kicking in this game?
Atlanta (+9.5) over NEW ORLEANS
“Saints” summoned “sights”. I couldn’t quite make out what they were, but I’m guessing a pair of binoculars. They were quite useless, even when thrown at the falcon. The sights passed right through the bird like Kitty Pride.
Last week: 7-6
Overall: 47-40
