The Hoser's NFL Picks, Week Fifteen: NFL picks that have been busy looking for old acetate records at garage sales.
You know, I have always agreed with your Packer picks, and as I have said I live in G.B. & am not a fan, but this time I have to differ. Detroit has a very distinct advantage this week. My in-laws are in town to see the game. They love the Packers and think they are the best team there is. They are from the U.P. of MI., what do you expect. Very weird thinking there. Anyway with them in the stands it puts a hex on the Packers and gives the Lions an edge. I say Detroit anything over the Packers. Besides, lets let the Lions have a win, the Packers aren't going to the playoffs anyway.

If the Lions do win they blow their lead in the Pay a Ridiculous Amount of Money to Some Guy We'll Cut in Less than Five Years Sweepstakes! Besides, you know you can't wait to see what Matt Millen would do with the number one overall pick.

You guys're still in the market for wide receivers, right?

No Monday night pick?

Oops. Pantheon, if you can tack this in somewhere: Cincinnati @ INDIANAPOLIS (-3): We swear, it's not our continuing hatred of Peyton Manning that makes us doubt the Colts in this game. Well ... not completely. Cincy 26, Indy 24.

I have never stumbled upon this before, but, I consider the Hoser a quality Source for NFL humor, not realistic advice when actually picking a sheet! The Colts have their backs against the wall and will prove themselves, finally they get a patsy opponent to do this against! By the way, your remarks about Cleveland were NOT funny!

My Dad lives in Indianapolis and swears by the Colts (and the Pacers, so you know, well....) He is really sweating it now, especially after last week. Yeah I live in G.B now, but yes I was born and raised a Hoosier, please don't hold it against me. I love looking in the paper to see any Indy loss. All Indy has that I care for is the racing. I don't know what is going on with Manning, maybe he and Favre have been hanging out.

brownindian: I don't think that frazier actually means his picks to be taken serious.I myself enjoy reading his weekly picks.Since I'm not him,maybe I should let him speak for himself.I think it puts a little humor into the football season here at SpoFi.Cleveland isn't the only city that he has made remarks about.Since this your first time reading it,don't be taken aback by what he wrote.Cleveland isn't the first city he's quoted about.Just a little fun in his picks.

Everybody keeps blaming Matt for the Lion's troubles. He is partially to blame but the real problem is the owner ,William C.Ford. Hell, he can't even run his damn car company. A Ford has owned the team since Christ was a corporal and Detroit has done zip since '57.

Psycho: "I say Detroit anything over the Packers. Besides, lets let the Lions have a win, the Packers aren't going to the playoffs anyway." The Lions aren't going anywhere. Come on, don't you want to see the Lions getting a high draft pick? Don't you want them to get a chance to draft Calvin Johnson from GT? Psycho: "I don't know what is going on with Manning, maybe he and Favre have been hanging out." What are you talking about? That cannot be. If that were true, Manning would be way better.

I hope the Browns take T. Smith

As an update, 9-5 ATS and 10-4 SU going into the Sunday night game, plus got the Lock but blew the Trifecta. Oh, yeah, and ... *puts hand to ear* Yeah, that's what I thought. The Dolphin fans are awfully quiet, huh? I just registered bringbackdave.com for you. :)

Several years ago the Buccaners built a pirate ship in their endzone. The raiders should put the Hindenburg in theirs.

Man, Hoser's got it in for the Phins again! No love coming off the shutout video-aided win over the Patsies? Against Buffalo? Oh come on, man, jeez!
