Woo! That was a humdinger this morning, wasn’t she? (he writes at 8:20am EST) But there’s more where that’s from! Let’s dig in.

To The Games!

Giants/Bears:

Who saw Chicago becoming an offensive juggernaut after the first three weeks of the season? Since then they’re a top five offense and have gone 5-1. It didn’t take much time at all for Ben Johnson to make an impact. The Bears D is a different kind of animal though-they have the knack for both generating turnovers and giving up explosive plays which for the neutral fan makes them interesting. Thank god the Giants upgraded their wr room at the trade deadline. Wait, they stood pat with their thumbs up their ass? Huh. At the very least we’ve got a battle between two zesty young QB’s.

Bills/Fins:

Buffalo has lost a few d-linemen so can they get pressure on Tua? Kidding! It doesn’t matter at all. The Bills offense is going to steamroll a Miami D unit that is primarily composed of green flags, turnstiles and daydreams.

Ravens/Vikes:

I call this game Prince’s Mansion because there’s nothing but purple as far as the eye can see. Baltimore’s D is slowly, ever so slowly turning around and McCarthy looks like he might just be getting comfortable with all the weapons he has on hand. But I think the Ravens have a sense of urgency that their opponent lacks and that will carry the day and the score.

Browns/Jets:

Take the under and back away slowly from this one.

Pats/Bucs:

Game of the Week or Game of the Formerly Weak? These are two teams that are ascending far faster than anyone (outside their fanbases) could have anticipated. The QB play in this game should be the decider and as well as Maye is playing I think Baker is the last-minute difference-maker today.

Saints/Panteros:

Carolina is most likely to be 6-4 when the clock has run out. You heard that right.

Jags/Texans:

Will either of these teams be able to move the ball? Houston’s D is going to make Prison Girlfriend wish he was on parole. But then again, how much do you think Davis Mills is going to accomplish? First team to 150 yards of offense wins.

Do your thing.
