What in the who hell happened on Thursday?! I was engulfed in Omega Psi Phi 100 year founding festivities and unfortunately only saw bits and pieces. The highlights suggest that all that religion Tebow be talking is actually voodoo. However, I'm moving onward and upward. The rest of week 11 is on deck.
First up, we have Carolina v Detroit. I'll actually be AT this game to see the greatest rookie of all times *dances like Muhammad Ali* but unfortunately he'll be running for his life against the Lions' D Line. We can only hope Stafford channels his inner Michael Jackson and becomes one with the glove because the rest of their schedule is roouuuugh. Let's go boys! Lions!
The Raiders go to the upper midwest and take on the Vikes as well. This game will actually be the one I'm most interested in watching. Both of these teams are surging like high tide in Maui, with new QB's becoming acclimated. I'm expecting All Day to have a beastly type performance tomorrow, though. He'll feel challenged by Oakland's top 5 run game. Vikes!
Cincy v Baltimore. Baltimore looks like an old taxi. The boy still runs, but the suspension is giving out and the seats are ripped to shreds. I've said I like this team to go to the Super Bowl, but this could be a loss, in what looks like a mid season slump. Andy Dalton will be without my other favorite rookie, AJ Green, though. That will be a big deal. We see improvement after disappointment, for both teams. I change my mind - gotta ride with my favorite. Ravens!
Jax takes on Cleveland, and I...*yaaaawn* Sorry, I fell asleep for a minute. The bowling ball with legs, that is known as MJD, will roll on Cleveland faster than Lebron James to Miami. The Jacksonville D will humble an ailing offense and we'll all be bored by halftime. Jags!
Next we have TB v GB. I'm going to say up front, that this could be one of only two losses I predict for GB. I know what you're thinking, "Therran you're crazy as hell. Here's another one of your hair brained ideas." Think about this - Rodgers has lost 3 times to TB and the last time they played, TB stopped a 12 game losing streak when they beat the Pack. Hear me now? Yeah, me either. I can't, in good conscious take Tampa. Packers!
Dallas heads up to division rival Washington in our next matchup. Dallas is handling cats like luggage, lately, and I for one can't stand it. There's nothing more annoying than listening to Cowboys fans. However, they look pretty good. My predictions about Shanahan seem to be right as well. He's starting Vex me Rexy and Ryan Torain to prove my soothsaying prowess. Really, Mike, that's what's good? That's what's poppin' in the streets? I don't think so. 'Boys!
Buffalo heads down to the dirty to go put hands on Miami like Chris did Rihanna. What, too soon? Okay, like Ike beat Tina, like Suge slapped up Daz, like Craig knocked out D-Bo. Buuut, hold on a cotton picking minute. The Dolphins have found their sea legs, and are about to start upsetting some dreams in the AFC East. I'm going to call them Inception the rest of the season. I'm convinced the Bills haven't yet figured it out. They'll keep sliding. Dolphins!
Seattle heads to St. Louis in our next matchup. I'm hinging this whole game on Marshawn Lynch and St. Louis' lack of run Defense. Beastmode will be just that, in this race from the bottom. Seahawks!
Ummm, what is a John Skelton and how did he over come two interceptions to beat the Eagles last week? Does he have a Leprachaun chained up in his basement? Well, whatever he has it's about to expire like old milk, because San Fran ain't playing! And by that, I mean they ARE playing - and well. Who knew, old crazy eyes was holding them back last year? Oh, that we me! Even without Frank Gore, this game goes to San Fran.
I'm going with the theory that Atlanta wanted to lose last week, to keep things interesting. That could be the only explanation for such a profoundly stupid decision at the end of the game!! I digress from the point. This week they play an AFC foe, in Tennessee. I'm conflicted, here. The AARP's MVP athlete of the year, Matt Hasselbeck has made some defenses look stupid but the Falcons have a squad that they LOVE to squander. What's the deal, here? Sometimes they look great, and sometimes they look average. I think they come out pissed off at last week's debacle and play with emotion. Falcons!
The Chargers are officially a joke. The Bears are officially back. I can't foresee anything changing this week. I'm sure the Chargers will win now that I'm finally picking against them, but the Bears' defense looks like they've been eating steroid cookies and Jay Cutler is the next best QB after Rodgers the last few weeks. I think they keep rocking like the football U2. Bears!
Sunday night we get the Vickless Eagles versus their hated rival Giants. I'm not one to pile on Philly but the wheels on the bus have flown off the axles and are careening down a mountain towards a valley of self doubt. The Giants are playing well, and should be very motivated after a loss at the hands of the '9ers. Giants! *Over/Under Alert*!! Young throws 1.5 hissy fits after a week of criticism for his poor play?
New England plays KC in our Monday Night Game. KC had us fooled like Kim Kardashian and Chris Humphries for a couple of weeks, but they've proven to be a fraud. New England has doubters yet still are first in the AFC East, after they're competition decided to start to stink up the league like moldy refrigerators. The killer instinct kicks in, I do believe. I'm also predicting an Ochocinco sighting this week. 11 weeks should be long enough for even a fool to learn the offense. New England!
Alright, I'm writing this on an old blog site I'm deciding to bring back. The Fair and Balanced Report lives!! take a look and tell me what you think. I've already written my Thanksgiving prayer around the idea that I win this week so I'm looking forward to this glorious victory.
Get well, Rae Rae!
