To The Games!

Raiders/Broncos:

This Rikki/Hippo Darby is brought to you by that “Gloom, Despair and Agony on me, Deep Dark Depression, Excessive Misery” song from Hee Haw. A very young scotchy did not like country or western music but you know what he did like? Curvy women hanging out in corn fields telling jokes and batting their eyelids. Both coaches will be standing all game, not because that’s what coaches do but because that coaching seat is getting Hot, Hot, Hot no matter what Mark Davis says. Denver’s D is incredible but the O is like Wilson before marriage-not able to score.

Cowboys/Vikes:

I’m grateful for this game just for the fact that it should provide some clarity to the pecking order of the jumble of teams in the upper echelon of the NFC. Despite just the one loss Minny is having some trouble getting respect-many folks thinking that Allen gave the game to the Vikes through his generosity with the ball, like a cowboy drunk on too many sarsaparillas. Still, their point differential is +35 which is tied for third in the conference. (only 7 teams sport a positive number. Ugh.)

Bengals/Steelers:

Cincy slew the ghosts of many, many Steelers losses last year and then laid down and lost again (by 3) the first week of the season. But that was back when a certain qb was fresh off an exploded appendix. The o-line is playing better and the Bengals have scored 30, 35 and 42 in their their last three wins which have been without Chase. Pitt’s rookie qb Pickett is going thru the usual adjustment phases that first year guys face-learning to recognize schemes and the speed of the game. Tomlin won’t really know what he has until the rook goes through the league a second time.

Type that thing.
