TV funnymen Craig Kilborn and Tom Arnold both have ties to sports. Kilborn, now the host of CBS' The Late Late Show, played basketball at Montana State and was an ESPN SportsCenter anchor before moving to CBS. Kilborn has a movie coming out in February entitled Old School. Arnold is currently co-hosting Fox's Best Damn Sports Show Period, and used to be married to Roseanne Barr, who once screamed perhaps the worst rendition of the National Anthem in the history of pro sports. Craig and Tom test their NFL knowledge by picking Week 16 games.
***** Get your Christmas shopping done early or put it off 'til later because you can't miss these.
**** Talk your spouse into shopping somewhere that sells TVs, then ask to test the remote.
*** For these, you can excuse yourself to decorate the TV room for the holidays.
** Shop now, catch the buzz later on BDSSP.
* Fuhgeddaboutit!

Denver at Oakland, 4:15 p.m.
Craig: The Black Hole swallows a great effort from Clinton Portis. Broncos 28-24.
Tom: Those Raider fans are freakin' crazy. That guy who dresses up like Darth Vader could beat the Broncos on his own (in the interest of full disclosure, he was my first wife). Raiders 27-14.
New York Jets at New England, 8:30 p.m.
Craig: Note to Wayne Chrebet: The high hurdles are best run by those over 5-foot-7. The Pats need this one bad. Pats 24-17.
Tom: Both teams were embarrassed Sunday and need a win to stay alive. Just a hunch, Pats 24-21.
Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay, Monday, 9 p.m.
Craig: Can someone page Dr. Phil to referee Warren Sapp-Lee Flowers trash talk? Bucs 20-14.
Tom: Mean old Mr. Sapp will make Tommy Maddox with he were still selling insurance. Bucs 17-6.
****
New York Giants at Indianapolis, 1 p.m.
Craig: My dad loves the Giants. He also has a new hobby; blowing up his TV during the second half. Colts 27-17.
Tom: My Giants rise to the occasion! (or they get their butts kicked). Giants 21-17.
Cleveland at Baltimore, 4:15 p.m.
Craig: Ravens still think they're fighting for a playoff spot, which is enough to scare off the Browns. Ravens 19-14.
Tom: Chris Rose (who?) loves the Browns, but after watching them blow a 16-point lead last Sunday, I think the Browns are done. Ravens 28-13.
***
Buffalo at Green Bay, 1 p.m.
Craig: Both Bledsoe and Favre can throw in the cold, but the Packers have something the Bills don't: a defense. Pack 24-16.
Tom: Favre at home in Lambeau Field. 'Nuff said. Green Bay 31-17. |
