What to watch for in this weekend's biggest picks.  Home team in ALL CAPS.

PACKERS over Seahawks — I don't expect the Seahawks to beat a better team in an away game.  I'm already coming to grips with a Packers win, in part because I feel so sorry for anyone who has to live in Green Bay.

Giants over COWBOYS — Eh, one of the away teams has to win this weekend, right?  Right?  Hello, anyone? 

The Daily Northwestern over The Lantern — Oh sure, Ohio State has superior sports teams, but you can't compete with Wildcat journalistic integrity!  Especially when you inadvertently compare your football team's loss to 9/11.

COLTS over Chargers — San Diego fans can seek comfort in going outside and realizing they don't live in Indianapolis. 

Stand-up comedy over JAGS-PATS — Her: "Hey, wanna see a comedy show on Saturday night?" Me: "Yeah, sure!  I got nothin' else going on!"  Dammit.

UFFORD over Neiswanger – I'm gonna remember this poor journalist every time I think my last name sucks.

Thanks for hangin' out, everybody.  I had a lot of fun this week.  Be sure to check in this weekend, and I'll see you back here on Monday morning. 9:30 sharp.  Well, more like 9:45 … ish.
