Football Cat is less than 100%, but is going to gut this one out.

Pats at Pittsburgh on Thurrsday, hope you knew what to do. Easy money.

Buccaneers at Falcons (-1)

Bucs vs. Birds. Shades of Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Not really though. Falcons win.

Trickster Browns have the Kevin McCallister home advantage. They win.

Panthers at Saints (-5)

Cool jazz cats over the bad luck black cats, daddio.

Lions are 12-13-1 all time versus the Saints. They get to .500 Sunday.

How very ferocious of them.

Football Cat’s Week 12 NFL Picks

Football Cat has room for more leftovers.

Lions played like they had a thorn in their paw. The other Thanksgiving favorites Cowboys and 49ers did their job and won.

BLACK FRIDAY

Dolphins (-10) at Jets

Porps are a wagon, bro.

Porp Wagon!

SUNDAY LUNCHTIME

Saints at Falcons (-1)

Prey birds at their home rookery? Doesn’t matter. Saints prayers are answered.

Burrow-less Stripey Cats win, and Pittsburgh can’t blame Canada.

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)

49ers (-3) at Jaguars

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

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)

SUNDAY LUNCHTIME

Vikings at Falcons (-4.5)

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

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.
