WEEK 10 PICK ME UP
Go figure.
Last week, I was 7-7 (.500).
But I did get my upset of the week correct, Buffalo. Not to mention I also got my lock of the week right as well, New England. No way in hell were the Patriots going to lose 2 in a row. Thanks, New England. Not just for making me look good last week, but for helping the Seahawks out as well.
So we're now at Week 10 of the NFL season. The contenders start to separate themselves from the pretenders. It should be a fun second half of the season, no doubt about it.
Here they are, my Week 10 picks.
WEEK 10
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14
EARLY GAMES
Seattle at St. Louis (FOX, televised in Arkansas)
(I expect Shaun Alexander to have a big day against the awful Rams run defense)
Baltimore at New York Jets
(No Chad Pennington? Uh-oh.)
Tampa Bay at Atlanta
(The Bucs will win in a close one)
Pittsburgh at Cleveland
(UPSET OF THE WEEK. I still like Ben Roethlisberger, but this looks like a trap game to me.)
Detroit at Jacksonville
(Who knew? The Lions are better on the road.)
Chicago at Tennessee
(The Titans have no business losing this game)
Houston at Indianapolis
(Hoo boy, this could get ugly)
Kansas City at New Orleans (CBS, televised in Arkansas)
(The Chiefs should still win this one despite the loss of Priest Holmes)
LATE GAMES
Cincinnati at Washington
(Chad Johnson will show up this week)
New York Giants at Arizona
(Again, thanks for playing, New York Football Giants)
Carolina at San Francisco
(The Panthers may have to bring Tim Biakabutuka out of retirement)
Minnesota at Green Bay (FOX, televised in Arkansas)
(This could go either way. But I'll go with the Moss-less Vikings.)
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Buffalo at New England
(LOCK OF THE WEEK. Yeah, those Patriots, they're pretty good...)
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Philadelphia at Dallas
(Too bad that this game couldn't have been played on Thanksgiving. T.O. is a turkey.)
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
For those of you who are wondering who's going to call the Seahawks-Rams game on FOX on Sunday, it will be Dick Stockton, Daryl Johnston, and Tony Siragusa. Seahawks fans are Curt Menafee-free for a few weeks (the 'Hawks won't be on FOX again until Dec. 12 when they play Minnesota).
And I'll get to watch the 'Hawks this weekend. It sure beats having to find audio links on the internet so I can listen to the game.
For the 545th time, this is a must-win for the Seahawks Sunday in St. Louis. Win and the 'Hawks go 6-3, 2 games ahead of the Rams. But lose, and both the 'Hawks and Rams are tied at 5-4. The Rams would be leading the NFC West by virtue of their 2 wins over the 'Hawks.
So it's pretty simple. The Seahawks must win on Sunday.
And they will.
Enjoy the games.
