Two frickin’ games? Two? For the whole goddamn country? Why not throw the Minny/Atlanta game into this slot? What about Fins/Jets? But noooooooooooo. Two games! I’m SMGDH over here!
Ari @ SF: One of the biggest questions surrounding this game is “Why?”. Another question is, “Can the Cards top the 47 points they hung on the San Fran back in week three?”. This looks like a good game for RB Johnson to get back on track. Them Niners gave up a 200+ spot to Seattle’s Rawls just last week. There’s yakking going on about this being a trap game for the Cards what with the Rams next up. Huh? Palmer is running on all 12 cylinders and I just can’t see it. The big news in Niner-land is that Gabbert will be wearing an alternate black uni while he gets sacked numerous times/limps to the sideline/chases after the DB that got the intercept/demands a trade at half-time/posts a low-teen QBR rating.
Pit/Sea: Ben is back and so are the chances of the Steelers grabbing a wild card berth. They do have to steal this game plus one other vs. the Bengals or Broncs. They should beat the Browns, Colts and Ravens. It seems that if the D is right then so are the ‘Hawks. In their last 3 wins they gave up an average of just over 8 points a game. Their last two losses had them surrendering an average of 33 but in fairness that was against the Cards and Panthers.
A rocket? More like a Brocket, right guys?
