..It looks like I am going to be 6-2 in the early games this week (if Chicago hangs on.) In hindsight, I could have easily been 8-0 in the early games if I had just followed my own advise. In my two losses, I picked Miami to beat Baltimore and New Orleans to beat Carolina. I don’t know what I was thinking because both Baltimore and Carolina are top three defenses in the NFL. The Ravens took a tough loss against Indy last week, so I went with the Dolphins at home. I learned that Miami ain’t no Indy on offense, and for that matter, Baltimore ain’t no Houston on defense.
Secondly, I was impressed with New Orleans showing against Oakland at home last week and conversely, I wasn’t impressed with JD and Carolina’s offense. Again, I learned that Carolina ain’t no Oakland on defense, and New Orleans ain’t no Tampa Bay on defense.
Surprise, surprise…my three upsets came through: St. Louis over Dallas, Chicago over Minny, and Buffalo over San Diego. The Cowboys are starting to look like the Bungles on the field and the Raiders in the front office. Kyle Orton played steady enough and the D came up big for Chicago. Buffalo game managed the heck out of San Diego at home and Trent Edwards played solid in his return from a concussion.
Ok gotta run, tune in for a brief MSB tomorrow @ 9AM EST.
