Maybe the following parody never went national because the Skins lost to the Raiders in the Superbowl 18.

But does anyone besides me remember the Billy Joel parody of Uptown Girl that came out saying that the Skins would repeat after beating the Dolphins the prior year. I cant find it on the net anywhere.

It went something like this.

"Superbowl
The skins are going to win the Superbowl
They will win just like they did last year,
They'll make the Raiders want  a new career."

Damn it. I intended to pick the eagles rather than the giants. That blows.

The NFC East outside the Skins has been pretty even and SUCKY since the 80s, the Skins have been sucky more than the rest of that division since.. Back then the NFC East was the division to beat. I wouldn't worry about it, and I don't care what the odds makers say, it is a division game so to me in this case it is a crap shoot. You might win. 

Division rivals are more of an unknown regardless. I've seen the Skins beat the Cowboys when they should not have, and this Eagles Giant's game would not surprise me either way.

I needed one or two questionable picks that, if they win, will help me regain some traction.

That said . . . Brian, I need you to sacrifice a goat or something so the Redskins pull it off against the Raiders.

Yea, I need advice from someone whom buys into symbolic human sacrifice. Thanks for the offer, but I have my hands full with the Skins sucking huge donkey balls already. I have already resigned myself to the fact that the Skins are the Saints of the 1980s.

That sucks, I have to look at the our spreadsheet but if I am remembering correctly everyone picked the Ravens. Chiefs beat the Patriots in week 1 and nobody expected that.
