I’m going to be able to cover about half the games tonight. Some situations aren’t in doubt while others are clearly up for grabs. For example, the Giants game is a big deal for both teams. Still, Frazier feels okay starting a QB in a new system against their pass rush. Maybe Coach Frazier feels like the Vikings D is good enough to hold down Eli. I mean, everyone else has. That’s cost me a few picks this season. Yet I continue to believe. I’ll believe again this week.
NYG over MIN
The Giants can’t suck that bad, right? I mean, right? At least this latest ‘I’ll start the dude off the street’ nonsense ought to give them enough bulletin board material to give a damn.
SD over JAC
SD won’t see this as a trap game so much as an opportunity to get their offense on track and they could be very daring in the run game. This doesn’t bode well for me from a fantasy perspective, as I’m relying heavily on Rivers in the absence of Vick.
KC over HOU
In the land of not having hope, Houston is king…
DEN — IND: TBD
SF–TEN: TBD
CAR — STL: TBD
WSH – CHI: TBD
BAL over PIT
PIT is better than the Giants. Not the Ravens. Although the running game is in straits, the team still has a defense that can keep them in games if not win them outright. Pit, on the other hand, gave up pressure to the G-Men. NOBODY does that.
GB over CLE
I don’t see the value in explaining this…
MIA over BUF
BUF is starting your mom at QB. Seriously. They have NO ONE. Practice Squad guy was hurt last week and now its up to the walk-ons, like some bad college film.
NYJ over NE
Jets don’t win back to back. They don’t really lose that way either this season. Maybe the Pats will. Brady has no weapons.
DET over CIN
This will be a shootout, especially now that the NFL is fining Suh for clean hits. This week he was fined over 30K for a hit to the chest of the QB. It wasn’t late. It wasn’t deemed dirty on the field. Still, since his helmet made contact with the QB’s chest, he owes 30K. Where are you supposed to tackle? They claim he lowered his head when he delivered the blow. Sure he did, because if he held his head up, he’d have made helmet to helmet contact and likely been ejected. Play your game, big man. Go get me some sacks.
ATL over TB
America’s team is a terrible reflection of the state of American politics: Finger pointing, backstabbing, and poor performance. Still, if we reach back into where all of this started to go wrong in American politics, we find Florida at the center. Beat Florida and good stuff is sure to follow. ATL does that this weekend behind an epically bad Bucs defensive outing from a coach who doesn’t know how to use his players–especially Revis.
SEA over AZ
Sorry, AZ. No hope.
Some Thoughts:
- Proof that sex sells: The Fiat commercials are actually selling those terrible automobiles. I bet the Yugo creators are slapping their foreheads in disgust right now.
