It is good to have the wire back in play. Not as good to be the guy who is in 3rd in one league (5-2) and 9th in the other (1-6). The problem stems from QB play and a really rough start in both leagues. While the 5-2 team is on track and leading in points most every week, the 1-6 team continues to struggle to crack 90 pts while having scores nearly twice that posted against us week to week. The league has, as one southern associate is fond of saying, ‘stomped a mud hole in my chest and walked it dry.’
This is not the end. I have a (very) outside chance of making the playoffs and have been making moves all week to shore up a shaky team. Presently there are 6 qbs on the roster and I start two. The others have been keeping me alive the past few weeks while I wait for the real starters (including Romo) to heal and play. This is what I get for starting a Cowboy. Lesson learned. Next season will be different.
This week offers a thin slate of NFL games, 14 in all. The results shall be as follows:
MIA over NE
This team is on fire and the Campbell-lead bunch will burn out their engines beating the Patriots this one time. Why? Because Bill B. doesn’t know what they are gonna do. If you don’t know, you cannot scheme.
DET over KC
The Chiefs are a shell of themselves without their lead RB
ATL over TB
Battle of the #1 receivers here and won, handily, by Julio Jones.
SD over BAL
Another QB dream. I wish I could play Woodhead this week…
MIN over CHI
AP all day.
AZ over CLE
The Browns are slipping back into mediocrity.
TEN over Hou
I am starting Dexter McCluster out of necessity, and I think that move is going to pay out this week.
NYG over NO
Giants are back and looking to take their energy and grit to the dome…
CIN over PIT
CIN might not go undefeated this season, but they won’t lose this week.
STL over SF
I cannot figure out who SF is trying to be. You know what I think? Neither can they…
NYJ over OAK
Jets need a win here and they’ll get one. Amari Cooper will get the Revis treatment and there isn’t anyone else left to carry the catching load.
SEA over DAL
Sorry Cassel, no chance here.
GB over DEN
In the first serious battle of unbeatens, the GB D proves to be the difference with a shaky Manning under center.
CAR over IND
Superman is definitely in the building these days.
