I’m deciding to be grateful this week. As a New York (City) franchise fan I’m grateful for the strong play of Vick and Manning this week. I’m grateful that the joint team win total (4) exceeds that of several NFL franchises. Seriously. Semi-clever sarcasm aside, at least I’m not infatuated with pirate-themed franchises. The Buccaneers and the Raiders have combined for one win. So, I have a great deal more to be thankful for. In truth, both my franchises are hobbled by injury and bad O-lines and flush with cash for the next season. They likely both will get high draft picks–well the Giants might, providing they don’t make the playoffs, which is still an amazing possibility. Winning this week is far less of a possibility for either team, but (spoiler) I’m going to go ahead and say they both win.
10 minutes on the clock, here we go!
CLE over CIN
Thursday Night Showdown! I’m expecting this to be a high scoring affair that comes down to the CLE running game and CIN’s reliance on a receiver that will be completely locked down by Joe Haden. I’m starting Sanu at WR. Worked so far.
BAL over TEN
No comment.
MIA over DET
I’m completely surprised by the Dolphins. They play awesome D and have a passable offense. They are who the Jets thought they were.
DAL over JAX
If Dallas gets beat in London the season is over. O.V.E.R.
SF over NO
Even in a tailspin, SF still has a legit run defense. NO has a rusher who suddenly gets 100 yds a game after sucking for years. I see the Niners getting it together.
NYJ over PIT
yeah, I know.
ATL over TB
no need to comment
DEN over OAK
Really?
STL over AZ
Here’s the deal. The Rams are like kryptonite to NFC West teams. I cannot understand it but it is a real thing.
NYG over SEA
Yeah, REALLY. (That’s a brick joke right there.)
GB over CHI
Wait for the locker room rant. It is going to be EPIC.
CAR over PHI
Mark Sanchez really ain’t good. Jeremy Maclin is, and will get a lot of balls thrown his way.
