OK, the Oracle overslept or something and the game is half over already but I really would have predicted the Jags to beat the Toxins--come on the Toxins have to win eventually--but the Jags are beating them down right now.
So here are the predictions, but this time, without the empty Retsina bottle, this week the Oracle will live and die by the ultimate stat: Net Yards Per Play:
Texans- 28
Jaguars- 23
Lions- 36
Eagles- 42
Chiefs- 17
Redskins- 9
Falcons- 18
Packers- 21
Browns- 17
Patriots- 21
Raiders- 12
Jets- 16
Dolphins-10
Steelers- 50
Bills- 10
Buccaneers- 9
Vikings-17
Ravens-14
Broncos- 40
Titans- 10
Rams- 3
Cardinals- 33
Gentlemen, make your predilections!
Oh, and special bonus game between two one-time doormats....
Seattle-3
San Francisco- 17 Smash mouth!!
And that is the start of the 49er run to the big game.
ah! it's doing that thing where it's all a big glob again.

ReplyDeletegreat commentary
DeleteRAIDERS at JETS. Could this be any more unwatchable? Geno Smith is setting records for bad. Raiders should win, but they play terrible back east. Like, whew. RAIDERS
ReplyDeleteLIONS at EAGLES Playing outdoors in the cold in December. Not the Lions shtick. What with the rest of their division completely imploding, what's the motivation? Foles finally throws an INT, though. EAGLES.
CHIEFS at REDSTINKS The Chiefs may have lost 3 in a row, but the Redskins will make them look 9-0 again. CHIEFS
FALCONS at PACKERS Mother God of Holy Mercy who would have though, back in the preseason, that this game was going to be, after the Toxins-Jags, the marquee stink fest of the week? In Fact, this IS the Marquee Stinker of the Week. Unless Rodgers is back. No Rodgers? FALCONS. Rodgers playing? PACKERS
BROWNS at PATRIOTS. Jason Campbell is still trying to get the cobwebs vacuumed out of his brain, but he might play for the Blank Helmets. Does it matter? Only if you are betting on the point spread. Otherwise....PATRIOTS
DOLPHINS at STEELERS Steelers seem to have remembered they really aren't atrocious...are they? STEELERS...by a hair.
BILLS at BUCCANEERS Wow! Doormat Special. I don't think you can stop the Bills late in the season, once 10 losses are in the crosshairs. BUCS
VIKINGS at RAVENS. The Ravens will look like Super Bowl champs in this one.
RAVENS
BRONCOS at TITANS Ryan Fitzpatrick. That's all I gotta say. BRONCOS
RAMS at CRUDINALS Toss-up. Flip a coin. Roll some dice. .....CRUDS. I think I'll be sorry I said that.
