WEEK 1
Game of the Week: Jets +9 @ Buffalo
This one could be for all the marbles, people. Two Doormat contenders face off in Week 1, and both have been purging players for draft picks, though the Bills really stepped it up in the last month. Should be a real excited crowd by kickoff. Says here the Biffs will not survive the home town push and the determination of the Jets. May be the last game they win for two months, or until the next time they play the Jets. Bills by a touchdown.
FALCONS @ DA BARES +7
Let's just see how flat the Falcons are after the greatest collapse in Super Bowl history, and faced with playing a Doormat power with a coach on the hot seat. FALCONS by 21

STIFF OF THE WEEK: JAGS +6 @ TEXANS
Jags have every reason to suspect that Texan defense will not be perfect, yet, and Texans don't really have a QB. On the other hand, the Jags have a pair of twos and nothing else. 15 punts. TEXANS...barely
FEEBLES @ DEADSKINS +1
Another reason why you can't depend on anybody from the NFC East to contend for the Moldy Carpet. They can all lose to each other any day of the week. pick 'em.
STEELERS @ BROWNIES +9
Oh dear. Steelers cover the spread, and Blank Helmet Football gets rolling in a big way. Steeler offensive line smothers Browns, Steeler passing game in torch mode. STEELERS
COLTS @ LAMBS +3.5
Lambs are still terrible. But the Colts know how to play down to the competition. COLTS by a point. COLTS
CHARGERS +3.5 @ DENVER
If you are not a Broncos fan, and you can name the starting quarterback...you need to find more things to do. Broncos...I'm not convinced. CHARGERS win.
CAROLINA @ WHINERS +5.5
The Whines showed flashes of a total swiss cheese secondary during the preseason, laying a groundwork that could give up huge plays early in games, during the middle of games, and late in games. Carolina has a tendency to coast in the 2nd half, if not just give up entirely. Let's see if the Niners can get them in the end zone right away. PANTHERS.
aaaAAAAnd That's the View from the Basement!!!
great predictions and looks like a lot of crappy Foosball this weekend! def. need to "watch" the bronco and the niners, and their opponents! 4 teams that could be possible doormat champs, of course brownies will have something to say about that and letting the steelers kick them to the carpet is step one.
ReplyDeleteone more prediction: Once the Raiders move to Vegas we welcome them back to the basement with open arms. think of all the trinkets they'll be binging. I mean bringing. oooh just the thought of Vegas gives you typos like binging
ReplyDeleteI'm typo binging!! I played a slot machine at the Vegas airport the other day. For some reason, I didn't win thousands of dollars. Yes, it's REALITY week this week, though at least 2 teams will have wins that have nothing to do with how their season is going to turn out. The Bills candidate #1, but the Cardinals, Ravens....there's potential for mighty falls this year.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Falls, what ever happened to Tony Romo?
ReplyDeleteHe's working for CBS as an analyst on the broadcasts. Jim Nantz and him, I think, are paired together.
DeletePhil Simms is out?
DeleteJust saw Phil on some sports chat show the other day, so he's not GONE, but I think he may be gone as announcer. Dunno.
DeleteYes, he's out and is now doing CBS's NFL TODAY show.
DeleteBrownie rookie DE Myles Garret, the #1 pick, has a high ankle sprain and is out for, probably 3-4 weeks. Browns go back 3 squares.
ReplyDeleteNyet/Nils may be the worst game of the year, or the most exciting. They are both so bad it might get close and lost in the last moments. Looking forward to that game. Kittens are not in the mix--yet--but they might have the worst defense in the NFL, and the only way they can win is to score a lot of points, and they lost two receivers from last season. If Stafford gets injured in the first four games, expect a 0-12 swan dive.
ReplyDeleteare you riding with the Lions in this years doormat league?
Deletethe Lions are 'Doormat Free' at this time.
DeleteI see Grant has Da Bares, so he won’t be needing the lions. I will keep an eye on them because well, the Saints play in a division with Tampa and carolina. There’s no guarantee that they will lose a whole bunch.
DeleteNo, I dumped the Lions, and no matter how bad they get this year, I am not taking them. I got the Bears, baby! However, I would keep my eyes on the Kittens. A few key injuries, especially Stafford, could make them impossible to lose to.
