To celebrate the premiere of the new lineup of FOX’s “Animation Domination,” with the season premieres tonight of “The Simpsons” (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), “The Cleveland Show” (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT), “Family Guy” (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) and “American Dad” (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT), FOX had first-string fathers Homer Simpson, Cleveland Brown, Peter Griffin and Stan Smith tackle the NFL with their picks for this Sunday’s games.

Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders

Homer Simpson (“The Simpsons”): Denver will lose, but the team will be winners if they’re not beaten up by Raider fans on the way home.

Miami Dolphins vs. San Diego Chargers

Homer Simpson (“The Simpsons”): Dolphins versus Shamu. I predict I’ll be eating the loser with a bucket full of slaw.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Arizona Cardinals

Homer Simpson (“The Simpsons”): Two great battleships, two great football teams. Frankly, you should pick the Japanese Navy to beat either one of them.

Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens

Cleveland Brown (“The Cleveland Show”): I go for the Cleveland Browns. That’s my name. Next.

Washington Redskins vs. Detroit Lions

Cleveland Brown (“The Cleveland Show”): And as I said every week last year: “They can’t lose again.” I’ll go with the Lions.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Houston Texans

Cleveland Brown (“The Cleveland Show”): Jaguars versus the Texans. When did they start the WNFL? Just kidding. I’ll pick the Lady Jags.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Minnesota Vikings

Cleveland Brown (“The Cleveland Show”): I never bet against the gun-slinger, the riverboat gambler, the guy who just has fun out there, the Kid, Madden’s favorite player of all time: Shaun Hill. 49ers in a romp.

Tennessee Titans vs. New York Jets

Peter Griffin (“Family Guy”): This match up sounds more like the plot to “West Side Story” than a football game. I hate musicals, but I love gang movies. Have you ever seen CAPTAIN RON? I like that movie. My pick: Titans

Chicago Bears vs. Seattle Seahawks

Stan Smith (“American Dad”): People may not know that Dennis Franz is from Chicago. But even fewer people know that Dennis Franz enjoys mild Seattle winters from his lake house–in Chicago. My pick: Bears
