Philadelphia Eagles 34,
Arizona Cardinals 9
|
 |
I think I have a tendancy to do well early on, but then I
fall apart. Anyway, the Eagles walked away with this one
as I said they would, they just did it mo' better than I
thought.
|
|
(Prediction:
Eagles 27,
Cardinals 14)
|
|
Buffalo Bills 21,
Kansas City Chiefs 17
|
 |
Not only did I get this one right, but I came close on the
score. Hey don't knock me, I gotta get the victories where
I can. Rob Johnson was able to pull this one out. That
doesn't change my mind, Doug Flutie is the better QB.
|
|
(Prediction:
Bills 27,
Kansas City 21)
|
|
Minnesota Vikings 31,
Carolina Panthers 17
|
 |
Robert Smith, 23 carries for 103 yards. The Vikings are not
only looking good, but they are making it tough for a road
to the Super Bowl to not go through Minnesota. Home field
advantage looms large for the Vikes. It is a prize they can
obtain if they keep playing good ball.
|
|
(Prediction:
Vikings 35,
Panthers 20)
|
|
New England Patriots 16,
Cincinnati Bengals 13
- Dennis Miller Bowl
|
 |
Patriots beat the Bengals. Foo Rah, my excitement is reaching
epoch proportions.
|
|
(Prediction:
Patriots 20,
Bengals 10)
|
|
Tennessee Titans 24,
Cleveland Browns 10
|
 |
Although the Titans appeared to be trying to loose this one,
they pulled it out. But how about that score? I hit this
one on the nose! Skeptics rub your nose right here for a
while. Show some respect for the great prognosticator.
|
|
(Prediction:
Titans 24,
Browns 10)
|
|
New York Giants 21,
Detroit Lions 31
|
 |
This was a good game, and the team that showed up to play
won. The Giants couldn't get going until late in the game
and that wasn't soon enough for them to win. The Lions seem
not to be hurting after loosing their coach, so watch their
playoff hopes keep them strong in the next few weeks.
|
|
(Prediction:
Giants 21,
Lions 18)
|
|
Indianapolis Colts 24,
Green Bay Packers 26
|
 |
Farve started and so did the snow. Funny that the safety on
Indy's first possession was the difference in the game. Goes
to show what a little cold weather can do.
|
|
(Prediction:
Colts 27,
Packers 21)
|
|
New Orleans Saints 22,
Oakland Raiders 31
- Big Dog Bowl
|
 |
Now Ricky is out and Blake is out. But the Saints are not.
Call me crazy, but I still think they can beat the Falcons
and the 49er's. That will give them 8-8. The key game now
is against the Broncos. Fortunately it is in the Dome.
Brooks is a tough kid and I think he can fill the big shoes
at QB and lead the Saints to a wild card berth. Kudo's to
the Raiders, they are a top ball club.
|
|
(Prediction:
Saints 24,
Raiders 21)
|
|
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10,
Chicago Bears 13
|
 |
Who would've thought Chicago had a third string QB who could
win in the NFL against the Buccs. Well, this is another one
to chalk up to the temperature. I just hope the Buccs don't
ask for a recount.
|
|
(Prediction:
Buccaneers 35,
Bears 10)
|
|
Miami Dolphins 3,
New York Jets 20
- Game of the Week
|
 |
Wow, I didn't expect this to be a dud. I really hope that
Miami doesn't let this game dishearten them. They are a
good team, but the Jets really seem to have their number.
And they didn't even need over time.
|
|
(Prediction:
Dolphins 21,
Jets 20)
|
|
Denver Broncos 38,
San Deigo Chargers 37
|
 |
Denver tried everything they could to loose this game. Good
ole' Gus almost made himself into home town enemy number one.
Of course, the Broncos did give the Bengals their first win
of the season, so this would've been appropriate.
|
|
(Prediction:
Broncos 27,
Chargers 14)
|
|
San Francisco 49er's 16,
Atlanta Falcons 6
|
 |
Well, the 49er's won. I'm not sure that it means anything,
but they won. Atlanta is really struggling this year. I'm
not sure what the problem is, but they need a major overhaul.
As to the 49er's, they won't reach Montana or Young
proportions, but given a year or two, they will be a tough
team again. Their offense is still potent.
|
|
(Prediction:
49er's 28,
Falcons 21)
|
|
Baltimore Ravens 27,
Dallas Cowboys 0
|
 |
Not only did the Ravens score a touchdown, but they blanked
the Cowboys. That's not an easy task even though the Cowboys
are not very solid this year. I mean, I don't think I'll
ever be confused as a fan of the Cowboys, but even in the
midst of their struggle, to blank them is quite a feat.
Kudo's to the Ravens defense.
|
|
(Prediction:
Ravens 20,
Cowboys 10)
|
|
Pittsburgh Steelers 24,
Jacksonville Jaguars 34
|
 |
Well, I think the Jags really surprised the nation. They
were, by all counts, out of it all. The Steelers were a team
on the up. What a difference a game can make. After all the
praise Slash was getting, I heard the gripes starting again
last night. A loss was not what the Steelers needed in their
chase of the Titans. Next week will tell whether they can
overcome.
|
|
(Prediction:
Steelers 21,
Jaguars 14)
|
|
St. Louis Rams 20,
Washington Redskins 33
- Scoreboard Bowl
|
 |
The Redskins pulled this one out. I'm surprised. I would
have liked to have gotten this pick correct, but at least it
keeps the Saints close to the Rams. That's a good thing.
|
|
(Prediction:
Rams 35,
Redskins 28)
