Dobiebowl Week 14 - for the Birds

Hey Everybody,

Thanks for playing the Dobiebowl! And a Big Congrats to my man chicken who won week 13 with a solid 14 correct picks. Way to go Bird-Man!

Some have said that I’ve become too Jaguar-centric in my weekly rants. Specifically that I failed to mention the Monday Night 42 – 0 blow out of the Eagles and the following rout of San Francisco 41 – 3 last week by the Seahawks… (who were beaten by the Jags 26 to 14 in week 1)

Due to that omission, I am compelled to mention the remarkable win by the New York Jets who beat the Oakland Raiders 26 to 10 despite playing without Curtis Martin or quarterback Chad Pennington… (who went out due to injury in their crushing defeat to the Jags in OT of week 3, 26 to 20)

Chicago’s 8 week winning streak was finally broken on Sunday in a snow-bowl featuring a 100 yard game for ‘The Bus’ of the Steelers… (who lost in another overtime defeat to the Jags 23 to 17 in week 6)

And yes, even after scoring a 4^th quarter touchdown, recovering an onside-kick, and scoring another touchdown followed by a 2 point conversion by back-up QB David Garrard, Jacksonville lost last week to the Indy Colts… (a team who has yet to be bested by any opponent to face them this year)

So, now that we’ve gotten that into perspective, let’s move on to the upcoming week’s games. Remember, in lieu of college action, there are 3 games this Saturday including:

Tampa Bay at New England
Kansas City at N.Y. Giants
And Denver at Buffalo

So get those picks in early.

Also, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve tripped over backwards into tickets to Sunday’s Jags game against the ‘49ers. That coupled with the fact that our illustrious winner chicken will be easy-ridin’ it down to Miami to watch N.Y. lose again means that we should have a hefty batch of photos for the Dobiebowl Hall of Fame/Shame next week!

Thanks again for playing. Now Keep it Up!
