Football Cat’s Week 7 NFL Picks 2026

Posted on October 22, 2026 by naop Leave a comment

From The Collaborative that brought you the Immaculate Squid and your daily SteveRdle, comes a new brainteaser… Is It, 1789 or 2026?

Today’s clue:
“Following recent events in the Bastille neighborhood, and after careful consideration, we felt it appropriate not to move forward with the planned event in Paris”

Is It, 1789 or 2026?

If you guessed 1789, well sorry 24601, you will not be taking home any fabulous prizes to little Cosette.

The correct answer is 2026!

Since no one won today’s game, all the prizes will auctioned off with the proceeds to be split amongst the interns.

Thank you for being with us today, and remember to please help control the dog population. Have your dogs spayed, neutered or donated to scientific research. Goodbye, everybody!

The calendars may gave flipped to October, but our top scientists at CoCoRaHSS have discovered a strange atmospheric phenomenon, emanating out of One Patriot Place, resulting in all of New England being transported back to Mid-Maye!

The “Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, Snow and Suck Network”, more commonly known as CoCoRaHSS (pronounced KO-ko-rozzzzzzz), is a grassroots volunteer network of backyard football/weather observers of all ages and backgrounds, working together to map precipitation and piss poor quarterbacking in their local communities.

🚨 A Storm Team 15 Weather Alert! 🚨

If that crazy, fat, bald, old man who lives alone in his creepy basement apartment has seemed extra irritable lately, it’s not only because he’s been getting his teeth kicked in on Twitter every day (although that’s 99% of the reason). It’s also because his rheumatism is probably acting up due to the impending Nor’easter (that and his eleven meniscus surgeries).

Nor’easter Preparedness Tips:

Stock Up on the 4 B’s: Beer, Bread, Batteries and Beer
Secure the Exterior: Bring patio furniture, garbage cans, and any small children indoors
Protect Windows: Baseball season isn’t over, but it might be time to install the storm windows
Clear Drainage: Send your wife up the ladder to clean out the gutters and downspouts
Vehicle Prep: Keep your gas tank full. Remember, much like your beer fridge: “half full is empty”
Check on Your Elderly Neighbors: They may have some extra beer

Stay safe, keep your paws dry, and remember: if the house blows away, you still have eight lives left.

Bills short circuit Bolts

Panthers (-2.5) at Browns

Football Cat’s Week 2 NFL Picks 2026

A statement for immediate release from New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium Owner Robert Kraft…

🚨 LOCAL MUSICIANS WANTED 🚨

Are you looking to add fulfillment to your dull, dull life?

Do you possess an instrument, a pulse, and absolutely zero financial ambitions?

Do you know how to keep your opinions to yourself?

Brilliant! Because we have the perfect opportunity for YOU! We are putting together a band to open for legendary singer songwriter and all around mensch, Mr. Ed Sheeran on September 25th and 26th. Our previously booked act, a highly unprofessional meshugener schmuck, tragically canceled on us. That putz’s loss is your golden opportunity!

What We Offer
Unparalleled Exposure: Play for a stadium full of people that was expecting someone else entirely!
The Thrill of the Rescue: Bask in the heroic glory of saving our event from absolute disaster.
Complimentary Air: Breathe all the ambient oxygen you want while on stage.
Free Refreshments: A half-empty cooler of lukewarm Gatorade awaits you backstage, plus one (1) complimentary bologna sandwich after your performance is complete. (NOTE: The sandwich will only be available on night two.)

What We Need
Anyone who can carry a tune, hold a beat, or at least look convincing pretending to do so. Someone with absolutely no opinions on anything, especially regarding an obscure ongoing minor dispute in the Middle East. A performer with a deep, spiritual understanding that “art is its own reward” – because you won’t be getting paid.

If this sounds like you, please bring your gear and your talent down to One Patriot Place. We will supply the mandatory blue square pin.
