Urrutia goes from worst to first to capture Week 3

By The Swami Football guru

Big Al Urrutia must not have enjoyed his week as the cellar dweller. Al turned things around in a big way going 13-3 and getting right back in the Swami race.

He bested Mindy "Steelers Fan" McCormick, Louis "First" Class, Jeremy "Shockmeister" Shockley and the entrant who, much like Prince, goes only by the name of "Symbol" who all posted sweet 12-4 records. Be sure to check back next week as we get our first look at the top 10 four weeks into the season!

I usually take this time to bash the Cowboys, but thus far I have been very respectful of their undefeated start. However, I have taken some flack from their fans this week but will remain impressed with their play so I'll focus on their arrogant, way-too-early Super Bowl celebrating star-spangled, pinhead fans! There! I feel so much better now.

The Swami thinks the Rams and Raiders have a legitimate shot at going 0-16 while the "Boys," Titans, Bills, "G-Men" and Broncos remain perfect.

This week's "Cellar Dweller Dunce" award belongs to Kevin "my wife did way better than me this week" McCormick who put together a dismal 7-9 mark earning him a free copy of my new book titled "I am a Football Super Genius so shut your cake hole!"

Now, without further delay, I'll unveil my Week 5 stone-cold, steel-pipe, bet the five bucks grandma gave you for your birthday, fearless, soon-to-be-world-famous, guaranteed winning predictions. Please send picks to 437MXS.Swami@charleston.af.mil prior to the early kickoffs on Sunday, Oct. 5.
