Man, is it ever dreary/rainy in this neck of the woods. What that means for me is that the piling of more firewood will have to wait for some other time. Ah, well-I’ll make the best of it somehow. [light bulb appears over noggin] I know what to do! Let’s go… TO THE GAMES!

TB/Ari: AP got his wish (sorta) and ends up in Arizonatown. Indications are that he’ll be fed the ball early and often although I can’t see the Cards straying too far away from ultra-dependable Fitz and his 32 receptions.

LAR/Jax: I like the look of this tilt. We’ve got two young-ish teams that seem to have their respective futures in front of them. That suggestion I made last week about stashing qb Goff at the bottom of your fantasy roster? I’m glad you didn’t take me seriously. [stares at Goff at the bottom of his fantasy roster] SHUT UP! HE STILL HAS VALUE, DAMNIT!

Pit/KC: The only team that’s been able to come within seven points of the Chiefs was Philly and that was way back in week two. Rb Hunt has piled up 609 yards on a mere 96 carries! This has allowed our favourite spaghetti-armed quarterback to toss the ball further downfield than anyone but his mother thought possible. Alex Smith has gone for 1400 yards already and has 11 scoring balls to go with nary an intercept. Everything’s coming up ribs and roasts and buttered-on-both-sides-toasts down Kansas City way. On t’udder side, Big Ben was recently enrolled in an Interception Aversion Program at the team’s urging after last week’s travesty.

LAC/Oak: Raiders fans are shouting hosannas from the tops of burnt-out cars over the fact that qb Carr and his “out for 4 to 6 weeks” prognosis was discovered to be a load of hooey. He and Marshawn and Amari and Khalil should be more than enough to put the one-win Lawnclippers to bed early.

Do that thing that you do.
