Episode 7: Ask The Stars

Science is failing us, y'all.  My four-year-old cousin went 6 for 13.  The hetero male Victoria's Secret employee went 7 for 14.  But if we've learned one thing this season, it's that Scientology is bullshit.  FIVE correct picks??  I want my Thetans back.  

In the name of pioneering pickstars everywhere, we're taking last week's tack even further around the bend and consulting the stars for the outcomes of this week's games, courtesy of Digital Isis.  We're starting at the top, plugging the birth dates of the twenty-six head coaches in contest this weekend, and interpreting the results for gridiron domination or despair.  And if it's not painfully apparent by now--for entertainment purposes only.
 
The picks after the jump...
San Diego @ Buffalo
THE STARS SAY: 
Norv Turner (Taurus):    It's not over but you keep trying to convince yourself that it is. If you handed it over to someone else to solve when it was yours to begin with, it will revisit you. Finish it correctly and it will dissolve before you know it. 
Dick Juaron (Libra):   Underlying your thoughts is the deepest connection with soul. It is what guides you and lets you be strong enough to make a new leap. Prosperity will be a given in this next move. Yes, humans are slaves to whatever their minds lock in on. 
THE PICK: Buffalo

Minnesota @ Chicago
THE STARS SAY:
Brad Childress (Cancer):  Stealing seems to be part of the play this week. A new beginning may be a foil for a vendetta. Sounds ominous but in reality you have the ability to spot this one. Trust your instincts and you won't be taken advantage of.
Lovie Smith (Taurus):  Share your feelings with someone close. They need to hear how you really feel, and you need to explore something that doesn't quite make sense to you yet. It all comes together early today. 
THE PICK: Chicago

PIttsburgh @ Cincinnati
THE STARS SAY:
Mike Tomlin (Pisces):  There are many ways to give birth and many things to birth. This week an old idea has resurfaced and brought with it good fortune. This is enough to motivate you but not enough to hand others cash.
Marvin Lewis (Libra):  It is vital that you are part of a group -- at work, with friends or just holding it together as a family. The strength of your alliances is tested, but you should find that it all works out quite well.
THE PICK: Cincinnati

Tennessee @ Kansas City
THE STARS SAY:
Jeff Fisher (Pisces):  It's another quiet day, but that doesn't mean you can't get anything done! Far from it -- you'll actually find new ways of taking care of tasks and errands that are usually tough for you.  
Herm Edwards (Taurus): Strong and very positive lunar influences give you the upper hand for the daytime. An ongoing or tricky work or school matter can be sorted out with ease if you don�t tarry or hesitate. The evening�s planets won�t be quite so obliging, but a minor clash with a friend or partner can be avoided!
THE PICK: Kansas City

Dallas @ St. Louis
THE STARS SAY:
Wade Phillips (Cancer): You're seeing things in a new way today and may find that others are more willing than ever to cut you some slack. It's a really good time for you to push ahead on some bold new project.
Jim Haslett (Sagittarius):  Satisfied? You seem to be but why the nightmares? Clashing opinions and agendas may have something to do with this. You must find your own direction to move forward and walk away. 
THE PICK: Dallas

Baltimore @ Miami
THE STARS SAY:
John Harbaugh (Libra):  Troublesome evening influences may affect your evening rather than your day. This is likely to become apparent in money related matters, so now will be a good time to curb the spending. Put off any major purchases; the signs indicate that you�ll quickly regret whatever you end up with!
Tony Sparano (Libra):  To get some clarity, get some isolation. Things will fall into place beautifully. 
THE PICK: Miami

San Francisco @ NY Giants
THE STARS SAY:
Mike Nolan (Pisces):  You might be hoping for a nice, easy, relaxing day, but the evening influences suggest that you may experience some particularly intense moments. Relationships will come under the spotlight. Don�t be tempted to ask too many searching questions and don�t push for answers today!
Tom Coughlin (Virgo):  The untraditional response will get you further than going along with everyone else. This is about moving forward with your own path so lighten up on yourself. 
THE PICK: New York

New Orleans @ Carolina
THE STARS SAY:
Sean Payton (Capricorn): And off you go, and in a rapid manner. A new scenario is worth negotiating so jump in. Rearrange your ideas to include a new adventure. Power, force and sexuality are at the surface of your interactions.
John Fox (Aquarius): Once you put the sword down, everything gets easier. But trying to convince you to do so is difficult. Success is in the offing as well as assistance and direction. It's not how you planned it to be. 
THE PICK: New Orleans

Detroit @ Houston
THE STARS SAY:
Rod Marinelli (Cancer):   The accent is on friendships and romance, but the evening may bring some minor disappointments. Attached Cancerians may find it difficult to see their partner�s point of view, while singles will find that the dates they thought would be sizzling turn out to be quite lukewarm!
Gary Kubiak (Leo):  There is eventual triumph and a tossing back into the throws of society. The last few weeks have been quiet in many ways, this will continue for a few more and then whamo! You land at the feet of a new gate and new possibility. 
THE PICK: Houston

NY Jets @ Oakland
THE STARS SAY:
Eric Mangini (Capricorn):  You can keep yourself on track today no matter what,even if there are distractions everywhere and no way to keep yourself locked down. Your amazing discipline attracts notice from the right person.
Tom Cable (Sagittarius):  You should try to focus on helping clients, family members and others with their needs, rather than focusing on yourself. If you project your energy outward, it'll come back to you soon.
THE PICK: New York

Indianapolis @ Green Bay
THE STARS SAY:
Tony Dungy (Libra):  The Moon in your 8th House of Transformation indicates that there's still a lot going on behind the surface appearances. Don't hold on to the current moment; let go and the changes will unfold pretty quickly.
Mike McCarthy (Scorpio): Time to make that decision, the one that has appeared before. Do you stay locked into the past or do you make the leap into the unknown? Could the unknown be any worse that the past?
THE PICK: Indianapolis

Cleveland @ Washington
THE STARS SAY:
Romeo Crennel (Gemini):  Dumped? Don't take it too seriously, there is more on the way. Redirect your thinking. You have the full spectrum of information to do so. Don't pass this opportunity by.
Jim Zorn (Taurus): Don't fret about any small complications or dramas -- they won't mess up your day. 
THE PICK: Washington

Seattle @ Tampa Bay
THE STARS SAY:
Mike Holmgren (Gemini): Take a child or coworker aside and offer some advice free of charge -- they need to hear what you've got to say. Though they may resist at first, your words should sink in tonight and be on their mind tomorrow.  
Jon Gruden (Leo):  Don't be so concerned with status today that you forget common sense. Be yourself. 
THE PICK: Tampa Bay

Denver @ New England
THE STARS SAY:
Mike Shanahan (Virgo): You're not content to just let things happen -- you want to understand their root causes. You won't trace them all the way back to the Big Bang, but you can make some interesting discoveries nonetheless.  
Bill Belichick (Aries):  If you keep thinking about it as a loss, then that is what it will be. Instead, consider it a point in time and transform your feelings. Crying about it won't change what happened and it might just make it worse.
THE PICK:  Denver

I interpret the Bears/Vikings to mean Chicago will take an early lead, but the Vikes will steal it in the end when Lovie gets all lovey-dovey
I'm not sdure about teh KC pick - Herm seems to be just the kind of guy to tarry or hesitate
The GM horoscope seems to be familiar, somehow...
...And if Holmgren talks to his team on Saturday, they just might pull one out Sunday...

I can't even begin to comment on Belichick's prediction - I'm laughing too much

Argg - sorry for the typos in the previous comment.

Also, GM should read GB

I can't tell you how happy I was when Belichick's horoscope popped up. The universe provides.
