Suicide League
Most likely if you were alive in your suicide league Week 10 then you are still there this week. Albeit with a bit of a scare from the Chargers.
Miami at home vs Oakland - Mark it down. I would not be surprised if Oakland did not win a game the remainder of the year. Andrew Walter faired no better than Jamarcus Russell last week vs Carolina. I do not expect Oakland to be able to stop Ronnie Brown and Co especially with how well they are playing. This is also a good pick because I’m gunna go out on a limb and say you probably have Miami as an option this week.
Indianapolis at home vs Houston - Indianapolis is 11-1 vs Houston all time. Although most of those are with David Carr at QB for Houston do you really think Sage Rosenfels is any better?
Carolina at home vs Detroit - I started to type a large paragraph about how I was only off one week with Daunte Culpepper and this will be the week he breaks out and surprises….but I just couldn’t do it. Detroit will not go 0-16 this season but this is not the week they get their first win. Jake Delhomme did his best JaMarcus Russell imitation last week but will recover and Carolina will give Detroit its 10th straight loss.
GAMES YOU THINK MIGHT BE A LOCK……THINK AGAIN
Philadelphia away at Cincinnati - Definite trap game. “Philadelphia needs this win to stay in the playoff race” is what a lot of you are thinking. Did it ever come to any of you that maybe Philly is just not as good as everyone thought they were? Cincinnati hasn’t exactly been blown out all season, except by Houston and Pitt which just happen to be their last two games….erroneous. They are at home and also coming off a bye week and had extra time to prepare for Philly…..not that I have any faith in Marvin Lewis, but still. Don’t do it!
New Orleans away at Kansas City - 1, 3, 4. Those are the amount of points the Chiefs have lost by their last three games. 24, 34, 14, 24 is how much they have lost by the 4 games before that….including a 15 point loss to the Raiders week 2. All this means is that Kansas City has improved. Tyler Thigpen has been not just decent but good.
All the other games are pretty close so I figure you will be picking from these. Any other questions go ahead and email jon@rotodorks.com.
