The Weekly Muck: NFL Picks from the Black Lagoon Week 12

Hello everyone and once again welcome to the Week 12 edition of The Weekly Muck. Last week your favorite slimeball went 3-1-1 on the Mucky 5. The three wins consisted of the GMEN covering the spread in a rout while the Phins and Bucs both pulled the upset and won outright! The sole loss was when the Skins forgot to come to play in Philly and despite the terrible start, did make a game out of it in the end but it wasn’t enough to cover. The 49ers ended up in a push when they were robbed for hitting Drew Brees too hard and the Saints squeaking a win out via field goal as a result. My god how soft is the game getting today when a hard earned sack fumble can be called against the defense as a penalty? Back in the day that hit on Brees would have been glorified and replayed on the highlights as a great play instead of a controversial penalty. Sheesh, sometimes this patty cake version of the NFL we watch today makes the SwampMan sick, which is hard to do! As we head into the home stretch of the season we are starting to see the playoff picture take form. I don’t know about you, but as a fellow football freak I am pumped for these next couple of weeks! Without further ado, I bring to you this week’s five winning picks straight from the sleaze, deep in the heart of the swamps. Enjoy!
