Artie Lange is one of our favorite comedians. He’s hilarious on the Howard Stern show, and even if you don’t have Sirius, then you’re probably familiar with his work on Letterman, Conan, Beer League, or, perhaps most famously, the Joe Buck Show. We spoke to him in August about an idea that would blend two of his great passions: Sports and picking games. So each Friday this season, he’ll pick three NFL locks.

Last week: 0-3 (mired in for 1-8 funk)
Season to date: 12-12

Philadelphia Eagles -3 at home against Dallas.
Green Bay Packers -9.5 at Tampa Bay.
Detroit Lions +10 at Seattle.

Artie will be at the Beacon Theater in New York for the New York Comedy Festival Nov. 6th.

We’ll end this post with a line Norman Chad always applied to his picks column: These picks are for recreational purposes only and should not be used as the basis for any actual cash wager.
