Five Games on the Late Slate? Merciful Heavens!

I guess folks on the site haven’t been touching themselves lately and for that I thank you. Now go back to your regular routine.

To The Games!

Lions/Rams:

L.A. is playing quality football (I’d venture that they didn’t shite the bed vs Carolina so much as take them for granted) and Detroit is feeling a bit desperate despite being three games over .500. Dan Campbell will probably go for it on 4th down five times because that’s how his in-game anxiety manifests itself.

Panteros/Saints:

Is this really a revenge game for Carolina? The sports media usually only takes that angle for good teams (no one is calling Washington/New York a revenge game for the Giants, for example) and the yakkers/scribblers don’t acknowledge Los Panteros as such. Shough (pronounced “Sho Nuff” or something like that) is playing like a cromulent rook QB finding his way, as he should. He just needs more weapons at his disposal is all.

Titans/Niners:

One wouldn’t be surprised if 99% of the monies is on the home team here despite Tennessee getting a surprise win last week. This script should feature McCaffrey going hog wild and Ward airing it out in the 2nd half. (he had a mere 117 yards passing the other week. Ugh)

Colts/Seahawks:

“Hey old man that hasn’t played in five years and couldn’t negotiate the pocket the last year you played, what say we throw you out there against a monster defensive line and pray you don’t get killed?” Rivers: “As long as prayer is involved, I’m good to go.” There’s some famous last words for you.

Packers/Broncos:

Love this game-give me more cold weather teams from different conferences that each need this game badly but for different reasons. To me this looks like a low-scoring but entertaining affair and the team with the least amount of turnovers/strongest running game takes it by a field goal.

Give me all your loving, all your hugs and kisses as well.
