I try to always listen to criticism. As long as it’s constructive. I received several similar feedbacks from readers so far and the consensus was that the posts are too long.
That’s why I will try something different this week. Along with the usual ODS picks there’ll be a one-liner (sometimes a two-liner) for each matchup. It can be a prediction (bold or not), a particular stat or just a (hopefully funny) remark. So let’s cut right to the chase. (home teams in caps, ODS numbers in parentheses)
Houston (5,883191971) over BUFFALO (3,085159192) – Nothing interesting here other than the fact that the second best pass offense (Houston) is going up against a middle of the pack pass defense (Buffalo).
CHICAGO (4,451214313) over Cleveland (1,748557182) – The sole purpose of this game is for Forte to run Cleveland into the ground so his fantasy owners can sell high on him.
INDIANAPOLIS (8,822142857) over San Francisco (4,564257417) – Colts’ opponents combined record so far: 11-26. F-A-R-C-E
ARIZONA (7,269920389) over Carolina (3,04416516) – Still kicking myself for not putting money on the Cards last week.
DALLAS (7,248545417) over Seattle (4,989383532) – Miles Austin: great name, great receiver, great waiver wire pick-up by me.
DETROIT (2,815325126) over St. Louis (1,328366808) – Anybody who is going to watch this without gambling, fantasy or rooting interest needs to have his head examined.
GREEN BAY (9,298598322) over Minnesota (6,338079151) – Look for a boo fest the likes of Bush’s inaugural pitch in Washington. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-knYMTK4AEk
NEW YORK JETS (9,10356734) over Miami (6,610681115) – Please evacute the Jets bandwagon immediately. This is not a test.
Jacksonville (3,215534713) over TENNESSEE (2,194199597) – How the hell are the Titans favored!?
New York Giants (9,673527808) over PHILADELPHIA (5,357117826) – As soon as there is wind of more than 5mph all bets are off on the Giants.
Denver (14,15084175) over BALTIMORE (8,06621994) – Time for Baltimore to get back on track…that is next week of course.
SAN DIEGO (5,661695752) over Oakland (1,38461094) – Buying somebody a Russell jersey is now officially either an insult or a really, really mean prank.
NEW ORLEANS (12,40415098) over Atlanta (5,258823529) – Either the Saints get upset here or they go into the Monday Night Football game against the Pats on Nov 30 undefeated. Both options are intriguing.
Last week: 12-1
Overall: 29-12
