Things really got down to the wire this week. Balki and Larry have been so relaxed they're letting things slide to the last minute. Which led to this exchange in the apartment of Balki and Cosin Larry Appleton.
Larry: Balki wake up. It's Sunday morning and we haven't made our football picks yet.
Balki: Don't be ridiculous, it's Saturday. We turned the day back last weekend.
Larry: Balki, we only roll the clock back an hour for daylight savings.
Balki: Get out of the city!
Larry: Balki this is serious, our whole income depends on Sunday afternoons.
Balki: Okay, don't get your sheep in a panic...dis will be as easy as bibby bobka. You don't worry about a thing Cosin Larry Appleton.
Larry: (shoves newspaper in the balki's face) You look at the games. I'll call the bookie.
Balki: I don't see want called a man who likes books has to do with it.
Larry: (gives angry misunderstanding face) Just make the picks and I'll handle the arrangements.
Balki: Okay Cosin, I do it.
END SCENE
Game 1
Texans at Giants
The Texans always get lost in any other place than Texas.
Pick: Giants
Game 2
Saints at Buccaneers
The Saints come into the Bucs home on somewhat of a religious mission. Unfortunately, the only religion the Bucs care about involves Rum and the High Seas.
Pick: Bucs
Game 3
Packers at Bills
The Packers are packed up and ready to go to Buffalo but they only brought fall attire. However, the weather can be unpredictable in Buffalo this time of year. It can be sunny and 50 or it can snow 2 feet on you. There's no way to pack for that.
Pick: Bills
Game 4
Cowboys at Redskins
The white man forced the native americans from their homes and forced them to move into a small stadium in our nation's capital so that they could keep an eye on them.
Pick: Cowboys
Game 5
Dolphins at Bears
There is no way a Dolphin could go into a bear cave and make it out alive. I mean besides the fact that there is no physical way the Dolphin could actually make the trip, the Dolphins has no water to swim in. Poor Dolphin.
Pick: Bear
Game 6
Titans at Jaguars
I couldn't really see Harry Hamlin facing off with a Jaguar and making it out alive.
Pick: Jaguars
Game 7
Falcons at Lions
When a Falcon visits the King of the Jungle at home he must be a respectful guest or risk winding up as dinner...or lunch depending on the time.
Pick: Lions
Game 8
Bengals at Ravens
Ravens have been known to feed on berries, eggs, insects, and rotting flesh. Bengals have been known to at times prey on a hippo or elephant making the Bengal more fearsome. Plus, they've been known to be able to drag things that up to 13 men can't move. That's a lot of strength. Sorry Raven.
Pick: Bengals
Game 9
Broncos at Steelers
I can see the Broncos making it to steel town, but I can't see them getting into the factory where the steel making magic happens. Horses are all legs and no opposable thumbs.
Pick: Steelers
Game 10
Chiefs at Rams
Chief Running Water feels at harmony with the land and all of it's animals, including the Ram. He is a man of nature and respects all of its creatures.
Pick: Chiefs
Game 11
Vikings at 49ers
The Vikings are known for conquering and the 49ers are known for looking for gold. I say the Vikings come into 49er territory, and do some conquering as well as some stealing of 49er gold.
Pick: Vikings
Game 12
Browns at Chargers
Chargers electrical current versus the color Brown. I go with the electrical current. Cleveland should of thought of this before naming their team after a color.
Pick: Chargers
Game 13
Colts at Patriots
The Americans vs. The Horseys. Well, hmm...Paul Revere rode a horsey to warn everyone that the British were coming so I'll go with the Patriots because they can ride Horseys.
Pick: Patriots
Game 14
Raiders at Seahawks
The Raiders come into Seahawk land only to realize that them pesky Seahawks are all the way up in the sky and kind of hard targets with all of that moving around and flying they do.
Pick: Seahawks
Okay folks there you have it. We're ready for another week of football. After a 7-7 week last week Balki and Larry are looking for another big week to sate their thirst for extravagant things. Let's hope it works out.
