DID ANYONE HEAR THAT?????
That was a few booms that shook through survivor pools in a big way for the first time this season...LAR, BAL and INDY went down like the Hindenburg...Sorry for the pickers that frequent this sewage ladened thread that were on any of those teams, as at least 50% of players went out on pools. Yep, the easy- drew breezy days of summer, have now gone bye-bye after the first three weeks of easy pickings...UNLESS YOU ARE ME!!!! I only find solace in the fact that I probably would have been on INDY, as I had no idea OAK would muster the energy to win a 2nd long road trip game in-a-row. Chucky must have had them knocking on redwoods all week to get them motivated to play ball, and play ball they did. LAR just looked like a college team in playing bad defense and then just throwing, throwing, throwing vs a TB team that I said was just good enough to give them a game. Maybe the SB hangover is still a possibility, as GOFF is not earning that fat contract, unless he gets bonuses to throw as many picks as td's, which total 11. CLEVE could have beat LAR last week, and then proved they are not dead yet going on the road and beating the crap out of BALT on their home turf. BALT schedule was soft up until now, and it showed. KC and NE were on the ropes and some unusual plays/turnovers kept them from big upset losses....BOTTOM LINE...NO SUCH THING AS A LOCK! Just ask the guy that mtheller pointed out down below...
Many of you are still in a Week 1 pool, and Adam has a 2nd chance one ready to roll Week 6...Sooooo, you're saying there's a chance!
Let's look at Week 5 and what games will give us ulcers or euphoria!
GAMES ON THE RADAR....
Not many obvious choices, but we all gotta make a pick...Well...I don't, except for LIZZZZY!
NE @ WASH...This is a road game that is probably worth considering if you have NE left. WASH put their rookie Haskins in the game, and that was a mistake, but Chucky's brother Gruden might not have a choice, or a job for much longer. NE could have easily lost to BUFF, but they didn't...Good teams have a few games like that a year, and NE usually bounces back with a strong performance after a loss, or close call. As long as they aren't super over-confident and lay an egg, they win.
NYJ @ PHILLY...JETS off the bye, but that doesn't make them much better...They are just a rested bad team with QB issues. PHILLY has looked decent in their wins, and to be at home for this one helps a bunch. They should be getting some players healthy, and should take care of business at home. They are the #1 pick in pools, so that might have you look elsewhere.
INDY @ KC...KC got out of Kitty-City by the skin of their tomahawks, and INDY just sucked vs an average OAK team. INDY has to bounce back hard to get a W at arrowhead, and will give maximum effort. I'll bet on the MVP QB almost every time, including this one. KC D is ranked 30th but the offense is #2, but not the brown kind!
DEN @ LAC...LAC played down to MIA's level for a half, but got the beach sand out of their eyes long enough to take down the team that along with WASH, could be 0-16. DEN just keeps playing close games, and keeps losing close games. I have a feeling they are gonna get it together enough to find a win soon, and LAC isn't a tough team right now at 2-2.
ATL @ HOU...ATL is just in a nightmare, and it probably continues at HOU where every team in the AFC South is 2-2 and is coming off a loss to CAR. HOU isn't showing signs of a SB team, but home-sweet-home helps. ATL has a lot of talent,and they've gotta get it going fast or there will be a coaching opening there in-season. Probably better options out there.
MINN @ NYG...Cousins continues to steal those big paychecks, and NYG is getting some confidence as Danny Dimes is helping people go 'Eli who?' Hard to have supreme confidence in MINN as they lost at CHI. CHI D is the real deal, and Compass Roses Giants are lacking in the that department. Cousins might be able to look like a real QB vs the New Yorkers...New Jersians?
Tougher week than most, with only one big favorite that most people don't have left to use in NE. I don't blame you for going on PHILLY vs a sub-par team. BUT, as we all know...NO LOCKS boys!
Throw out your thoughts on who you like, and don't like, and any gut feelings you have besides the bad lasagna you had last night for dinner that you are still burping up!
