Football Cat’s Week 11 NFL Picks

I would have probably picked the Stripey Cats for Thurrsday’s game. Good thing I didn’t make a pick. Hey Burrow, cats land on their feet, not on their wrists.

SUNDAY LUNCHTIME

Cowboys (-10.5) at Panthers

Big Blacks Cats get their ninth loss. To correspond with the nine lives cats have.

Steelers at Browns (-1)

Trickster Browns edge their way by Pittsburgh.

Much better than a stupid ‘dawg’ mascot.

Bears at Lions (-7.5)

Lions too tough on their home field turf. Which just happens to be FieldTurf.

This might be Photoshopped.

Chargers (-3) at Packers

Tundra insufficiently frozen for the Pack to beat the Plugs.

Cardinals at Texans (-5)

Is Matt Houston on PlutoTV? Season 1 Episode 13 – The Purrfect Crime – When a cat food mogul is found mauled to death by a domesticated tiger, his four ex-wives retain Matt’s services so they can receive proceeds from the will. That sounds entertaining! The same can’t be said of this game, which the Texans will win.

L-R C.J. Parsons, Esq., Matlock ‘Matt’ Houston

Titans at Jaguars (-7)

Spotted Big Cats get over on Coach Vrabes squadron.

Raiders at Dolphins (-13.5)

Porps might not win by two touchdowns but will indeed win.

SUNDAY SUNSET

Giants at Commanders (-9)

Not sure if any Giants QB can toss the pigskin over the Potomac. Washington all the way.

What a dignified feline.

Buccaneers at 49ers (-12)

The Bay Area is running out of sports teams. The Prospectors are staying, and winning.

Jets at Bills (-7)

Bills are the best.500 team in the league. Jets are aiming for .500. Bisons prevail.

Seahawks (-1) at Rams

False Seabirds and Horned Sheepies tie.

SUNDAY PROWLTIME

Vikings at Broncos (-2.5)

Vikings gonna Viking.

We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow. The hammer of the gods.

MONDAY NIGHT

Eagles at Chiefs (-3)

Eagles get the unsatisfying ‘Super Bowl rematch during the regular season’ win.

Football Cat’s Week 10 NFL Picks

The Patriots play when???

Big Black Cats has no luck Thurrsday. Tough for them, not so much for me.

SUNDAY BREAKFASTTIME

Colts (-1.5) at Patriots

Pats are undefeated in games played outside the USA. That will continue.

EM 50 Urban Assault Vehicle. Perfect for jaunts into and around Germany.

SUNDAY LUNCHTIME

Browns at Ravens (-6)

Evil Black Birds too tough at their home rookery.

Texans at Bengals (-6.5)

Stripey Cats have no natural fear of Texans. They win.

49ers (-3) at Jaguars

Spotted Cats have no use for gold, silly Prospectors and Brock Purrrdy. Jaguars win.

Saints (-2.5) at Vikings

Saint Gertrude of Nivelles is the patron saint of cats. But the Vikings will make with the marauding.

Can’t say I’ve ever met a Gertrude.

Packers at Steelers (-3)

What a great game! Thirty years ago. Steelers prevail.

Titans at Buccaneers (-1)

Real Stoppable Force meets Movable Object energy here. Go Tits!

SUNDAY SUNDOWN

Prediction: Pumas pummel Plugs.

Giants at Cowboys (-16.5).

Fewer people will watch Dallas demolish the Pituitaries than watched the “Who Shot J,R.?” episode

Commanders at Seahawks (-6)

Last week was the Commanders Super Bowl. False Seabirds win.

SUNDAY PROWLTIME

Jets (-1) at Raiders

This game, this will be the tie. I’m sure of it.

Jets? Raiders? Vaught F6U Pirate! Not pretty. Much like how the game will be.

MONDAY NIGHT

Broncos at Bills (-7.5)

A loss would put the Bills at .500. But they will win.

Football Cat’s Week 9 NFL Picks

NFL Football in Germany, Ja!

First off, I did not make that Thursday pick. Only an idiot would bet against the Steelers at home. Someone is going to pay.

SUNDAY SECOND BREAKFASTTIME

Dolphins at Chiefs (-1.5)

Porps haven’t beaten a good team yet. Chiefs are good. Figure it out.

SUNDAY LUNCHTIME

Vikings at Falcons (-4.5)

4-4 vs 4-4. Fine. THIS game will be the tie.

Seahawks at Ravens (-6)

Evil black birds take down the false seabirds.

The Steller’s sea eagle kind of looks like a Seahawk. But it isn’t

Cardinals at Browns (-8)

Trickester Browns pull one over on the pretty birds.

Rams at Packers (-3.5)

A hot seat sounds like a lovely place to take a nap. Rams win.

Texas has wildcats. Works for me. Houston will not have a problem.

Commanders at Patriots (-3)

The path to 6-6 starts by landing on your paws. Pats get the necessary win.

Giants show Vegas it wasn’t all on McDaniels.

Do the NFC East teams play each other three times a season? Feels that way. Eagles prevail.

SUNDAY PROWLTIME

Bills at Bengals (-2)

Stripey cats win, unless Buffalo convinces the league to move the game to a neutral site.

MONDAY NIGHT

Chargers (-3.5) at Jets

Prediction: Plugs pound Planes.

Football Cat’s Week 8 NFL Picks

Football Cat had a birthday this week! A year older, possibly a little wiser. We shall see.

No byes this week. Just games. Let’s go:

THURRSDAY NIGHT:

Buccaneers at Bills (-9)

Way to win but not cover, Bisons.

SUNDAY LUNCHTIME:

Texans (-3) at Panthers

Did the Big Black Cats break a mirror and earn six games of bad luck? If so, that continues to seven.

Rams at Cowboys (-6)

Pokes too tough at home for the Rams.

Vikings (-1) at Packers

Vikings liked having cats. This cat picks the Vikes.

Viking is a job description.

Saints (-1) at Colts

Two teams of indoor cats. Sad. Go Horse, I guess.

Patriots at Dolphins (-9.5)

Pats need this win more than the Porps do. Porps prevail.

Jets (-3) at Giants

Imagine the indignity of having to use the visiting locker room in your own facility? Giants win.

Diverted to Newark? Nooo!

Jaguars (-2.5) at Steelers

Jacksonville continues to roll.

Falcons (-3) at Titans

Tians in the Oilers throwbacks. Oil prospectors are wildcatters. Good enough to beat a bird team.

Eagles (-6.5) at Commanders

Any NFC East team can beat any other NFC East team. Commandindians win.

SUNDAY SUNDOWN:

Browns at Seahawks (-4)

False Birds ekes out a home win.

Ravens (-8) at Cardinals

Evil Black Birds vs Pretty Birds? Quoth the Football Cat, Ravens.

Tell me more about the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

Chiefs (-7) at Broncos

Broncos can’t beat zebras and Chiefs.

Bengals at 49ers (-3.5)

Stripey cats have had plenty of rest, like all cats like. So they win. Sorry Purrrdy.

SUNDAY PROWLTIME:

Bears at Chargers (-8.5)

Plugs electrocute the Poohs. Then drive them via La Cienega Boulevard to the La Brea Tar pits to dispose of the carcass.

Don’t judge us for falling into the tar pit. We were curious!

MONDAY NIGHT:

Raiders at Lions (-8)

Raiders logo may want to put a patch over the other eye to avoid watching this feline beatdown in Motown.

Football Cat’s Week 7 NFL Picks

Football Cat likes the team but is deeply ambivalent about the Jaguars mascot.

THURRSDAY NIGHT:

Jaguars at Saints (-1)

You bet on the cat team, right? Good.

SUNDAY LUNCHTIME:

Lions at Ravens (-3)

If the evil birds win, it’s due to Halloween trickery.

Raiders (-3) at Bears

I could be convinced to take the Raiders in this game.

Browns (-2.5) at Colts

Cleveland’s fans call themselves the Dawg Pound, but a Brownie is a smallish, mischief-making creature? Say no more!

Bills (-9) at Patriots

Coach Bill needed a cat making his draft picks, not a weird little dog. Bills win.

Commanders (-2.5) at Giants

A hairball of a matchup. Giants.

Falcons at Buccaneers (-2.5)

Same thing. Fruity pirates prevail.

SUNDAY SUNDOWN:

Steelers at Rams (-3)

I could knock so many more things off shelves and tables if I had horns like a ram. They win.

Cardinals at Seahawks (-7.5)

If a Seahawk was a real bird, it would outclass a Cardinal. That’s the expected result here as well.

Packers (-1) at Broncos

There’s usually a tie every season. I say it’s this game.

You call THIS a double-Windsor knot?!

Chargers at Chiefs (-5.5)

Do the Chiefs play ALL their games at home? Chefs win.

SUNDAY PROWLTIME:

Dolphins at Eagles (-2.5)

Porps become Eagle Snacks.

MONDAY NIGHT:

49ers (-7) at Vikings

Prospectors prevail over the Purps.

Football Cat’s Week 6 NFL Picks

(Please disregard the previous post. Football Cat did not submit that post. Football Cat was hacked, and the culprit when found will face the Claws of Death.)

THURRSDAY NIGHT

Broncos at Chiefs (-10.5) The Swifties roll on, capping off the greatest three weeks of movie promotion ever.

Yay Tay Tay!

SUNDAY SUNRISE

Ravens at Titans (+4) The evil birds win and automatically advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

SUNDAY FAMILY FUNTIME

Commanders at Falcons (-2.5) Another win for a bird team, but the real choice here is apple picking.

Fun!

Vikings at Bears (+2.5) If you’re anti-fun go with Da Bears, otherwise head to a corn maze for three hours.

More fun!

Seahawks at Bengals (-2.5) Cats over birds, always and forever.

49ers at Browns (+7) Purrrrdy drops the Browns in the litterbox

Saints at Texans (+1.5) The Texans shut out the Saints just to rile up the Patriots pregamers.

Colts at Jaguars (-4) The Jags spent too much getting reacquainted with their loved ones this week. Colts take advantage of the weak-legged cats.

Mickey knows what Football Cat is saying.

Panthers at Dolphins (-13.5) Tua and the Tunas hit the over before halftime.

SUNDAY SUNDOWN

Patriots at Raiders (-3) The Patriots win and their fanz immediately start complaining about it harming their 2024 draft position.

Lions at Buccaneers (+3) The big cats feast on zesty pirate kneecaps.

Cardinals at Rams (-7) The loser has to move back to St. Louis, and I’m not sure who is more upset about that, the people in Missouri or Arizona.

Eagles at Jets (+7) Jets retake their rightful place in the basement of the AFC East.

SUNDAY NIGHT

Giants at Bills (-14) I thought the teams playing in London didn’t automatically get a bye the following week?

MONDAY NIGHT

Cowboys at Chargers (+2.5) The Plugs zap the Pokes.

Football Cat’s Week 5 NFL Picks

Football cat made his Thursday pick prior to Dick Butkus dying. So stuff it.

Spotted cats stayed in England after playing there week 4. Won’t matter. Bisons win.

Lunchtime Games:

Texans at Falcons (-2)

C.J. Stroud wins this one as a late birthday gift to himself.

Panthers at Lions (-10)

Lions win this big cat fight.

Phins phind a way to win.

Saints at Patriots (-1)

New England wins the rock-booth, tractor-fight, phone-pull game.

Ravens (-4) at Steelers

Supper Games – we will get to these later. Naptime.

Update:

Bengals (-3) at Cardinals

A desperate tiger is a dangerous tiger. Cincinnati wins.

Eagles (-4.5) at Rams

Keep watching these birds until they lose.

Jets at Broncos (-1.5)

Someone is leaving with a win. Unless they tie. So Denver, I suppose.

Chiefs (-4.5) at Vikings

Two teams going in different directions.

Late night snack game:

Cowboys at 49ers (-3.5)

Pokes are a wagon, bro.

Monday Game:

Packers (-1) at Raiders

A desperate one-eyed pirate in a maskless helmet is a dangerous one-eyed pirate in a maskless helmet. Da Raiders win.
