Well the awesome start came to a halt last week. I went 11-5 last week which brings my season total to 37-11. Still holding strong but not strong enough. I have to admit though, Arizona looked very bad against the Indianapolis Colts defense; Houston lost another game at home to someone they should have beat down; Pittsburgh lost in Ohio for the first time in Roth-less-burger’s career; Oakland looked like…um…well crap to say the least. I am guessing that the Raiders are wishing they still had Garcia on the sidelines, oh wait, he could be since he was just cut by the Eagles. *ring ring* “Hello, this is Jeff Garcia speaking…nope sorry Al Bundy, I mean Davis, not coming back. I am heading to Miami where they will need a mobile QB and actually only use the QB about 40% of the game anyways.” *click*
This is the last week before the bye weeks kick off so some teams are scrambling to hold strong and keep people healthy. Here we go!
Detroit Lions (1-2) at Chicago Bears (2-1) - Chicago
Detroit may have one a game finally but they will not make it a winning streak. Chicago is going to be too much to handle this week. Cutler is getting warmer and I feel a game from Forte finally.
Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) at Cleveland Browns (0-3) - Cincinnati
Cleveland, seriously??? Mangina (new name for Mangini) is a fool and has no idea of how to get his troops ready for battle. The players have zero trust in him and the QB situation is a joke.
Dallas Cowboys (2-1) at Denver Broncos (3-0) - Denver
Very tough game to call but with Dallas’s running game on the brink of falling apart at the wheels (injuries) I cannot see Romo picking apart the Bronco secondary.
Seattle Seahawks (1-2) at Indianapolis Colts (3-0) - Indianapolis
No question. manning looks great this year and he is leading one of the greatest machines this season. It amazes me how well every WR looks when they have Manning as their QB.
New York Giants (3-0) at Kansas City Chiefs (0-3) - NY Giants
The G Men will roll all day long. Look for a 225+ yard rushing attack from Bradshaw/Jacobs. Also look for every single KC QB to be half dead at the end of this game.
Buffalo Bills (1-2) at Miami Dolphins (0-3) - Miami
This is tough with the Dolphins losing their QB but at the same time the Bills are without 6 starters. Look for Miami to run every single running play/wildcat play they have and do not have. They will wear down the Bills in this game.
Baltimore Ravens (3-0) at New England Patriots (2-1) - Baltimore
I hate this pick because I went against the Patriots last week but I am not sure anyone has an answer for the Ravens yet. Their defense flies around and their offense looks very good with a 2nd year QB leading the way.
New York Jets (3-0) at New Orleans Saints (3-0) - New Orleans
Sanchez looks great so far this year but the Saints have way too much fire power for the Jets to keep up. This will be the Jet’s first loss but it will not slow them down. Brees is just better than Sanchez.
San Diego Chargers (2-1) at Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2) - Pittsburgh
Another tough game actually. After watching Mike Tomlin last week after losing to the Bengals…I would not want to be the Steelers players right now. I am willing to bet some folks got their @$$ handed to them and the coaching staff got a huge chuck of @$$ removed as well. Look for the Steelers to play some serious smash mouth football.
St. Louis Rams (0-3) at San Francisco 49ers (2-1) - San Francisco
The Rams have been searching for a new identity for their team this year. They found it, the St Louis Lambs. Even without Gore, the 49ers will roll over the Lambs with ease.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3) at Washington Redskins (1-2) - Washington
Who cares, you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t in this game. Next.
Tennessee Titans (0-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) - Tennessee
The Titans are awful but I think they pull out a close victory against an even worse Jaguars team.
Oakland Raiders (1-2) at Houston Texans (1-2) - Houston
Houston defense sucks but playing the Raiders will make them feel a little better. Long day for the Raiders secondary this week.
Green Bay Packers (2-1) at Minnesota Vikings (3-0) - Minnesota
I am calling this the game of the week. Not because of the over played and blown out of proportion Farve -vs- The Packers, but because of the division title on the line. The Packers want to prove they deserve it and the Vikings want to prove they earned it and are not ready to hand it over yet. Everyone is calling for an all out air attack but I think Peterson/Taylor will own this game. Rogers will look good, but not good enough.

Wow what a week of football. The Sunday night and Monday night games were amazing to say the least. Farve -vs- Rogers was everything it was hyped up to be and more. Neither team could get their running game going but neither defense could slow down the air assault. Well I went 12-2 for the week bringing the season total to 49-13. This is shaping up to be an incredible season folks!
