And a wee bit of soccer, no doubt.

To The Games!

Chargers/Falcons:

ATL has been surprising, ranking 5th in rushing (mostly without Cordarelle) and 29th in passing. When they do go long they turn to Damiere Byrd, of all people, who has racked up 142 yards and a couple of TD’s the last two weeks. Tight end Pitts has finally started to break loose from the binds of this offence, totaling 80 yards and a score last week.

Fins/Bears:

Hill and Waddle are 1st and 4th respectively in receiving and should do well vs the Bears corners. A win would make Miami 6-3 for only the second time since 2001. Tua has only lost one game against an NFC opponent.

Panthers/Bengals:

A Big Cat fight! Also, there’s a footballer by the name of Walker that isn’t a national embarrassment! P.J. beat Brady two weeks ago and did his part by getting D.J. Moore into the end zone but then the latter did a stupid thing and, oh well…

Packers/Lions:

Many thought there would be a timeshare in Green Bay’s backfield and it did start out that way. However, Jones has begun to assert himself (5.8 ypc and 142 yards vs Buffalo) as Dillon’s usage has fallen off.

Raiders/Jags:

One of these reeling teams is getting to three wins on the season today. Unless a tie is in the offing, which would be lovely. Just don’t leave any skid marks on the field, okay?

Colts/Pats:

Indy could make life difficult for Mac Jones, who was laid out 6 times last week. The Colts have nine guys that have at least one sack and a ballhawk in Stephone Gilmore.

Bills/Jets:

Call me a whack job but I think the spread is too high in this tilt. Although the Bills are a rolling juggernaut Saleh (peace be with you) will have his team ready. They won’t win but they’ll be tough.

Vikings/Commies:

Minny’s going to 7-1? Minny’s going to 7-1. A very unassuming 7-1 though.

It’s all yours.
