With your help, the busing crew made some picks for the weekend’s NFL action. How did we do? Pretty dang awesome! Here’s the match by match rundown:

The Bills put on a Wild West show and ran roughshod over the Jets. CALLED IT!

The Bears cast Earthbind on the Ravens. They were wizard bears, we should have mentioned that. OOPS!

The Bengals earned their stripes and mauled the Browns. CALLED IT!

The Eagles soared over the, uh, other team. CALLED IT!

The Steelers showed their mettle against the Lions. CALLED IT!

The Buccaneers made down comforters of the Falcons. CALLED IT!

The Cardinals proved why they are the state bird of seven different states and embarrassed the Jaguars. OOPS! (Why did we bet against the Arizona team? Isn’t that kind of like the Desert Bus home side?)

The Raiders dared to Mess with Texas, and somehow got away with it. CALLED IT!

The Dolphins swam circles around the bewildered Chargers. OOPS!

The Saints gave the 49ers a stern lesson in proper theology and geometry, then helped themselves to a few celebratory hot dogs. CALLED IT!

The Giants trampled the Packers and scarcely stopped to check the bottom of their shoes. CALLED IT!

The Seahawks swashbuckled their way to victory over the Vikings, spurred on by a rousing Korngoldian score. CALLED IT!

The Broncos overcame their lack of opposable thumbs and managed to defeat the Chiefs. OOPS!

With all of the Sunday games done, we’re sitting pretty at 9 and 4, two games better than ESPN’s so-called “experts.” Now, as far as the spreads go, things were not quite as good, but even still, as of now, our Desert Bus football pool has netted a tidy $29.24 for the children!
