several teams facing do or die games this week.
pitt, at 2-4 needs to finish out @ 9-1 (games against denver, new orleans, carolina, cincy, baltimore x2) at worst (8-2 finish with lucky results from other teams might draw a wildcard) to have a legitimate playoff shot... fortunately draws oakland to start it
dallas-carolina, with the loser probably missing the playoffs (4 losses @ the halfway point).... how will romo handle his first start? can anyone contain steve smith? can jake delhomme NOT throw a ridiculous pick to lose a game at the buzzer?
vikings-pats in a battle of 2 under-rated defenses against 2 meager offenses... vikings might be the toughest opponent left on the pats schedule
kansas city, with the shocking upset of san diego last week can actually pull ahead of san diego in the standings IF st louis can beat san diego today... which san diego team will show up? of course, having 'roids in the lineup while he appeals his suspension should help the chargers out.
2 supposed playoff teams (indy, cincy) with arguably 2 of the 4 worst run defenses in the league match up against 2 teams with good running games (denver, atlanta)
can denver's d live up to the hype against peyton and co ? can indy put the game in turnover jake's hands? can cincy stop ron mexico and the throbbing red herpes march?
can brian billick actually do a worse job with the ravens offense? is this team done? playing in the superdome against the improving saints isn't going to help. does bush have the speed to beat ray lewis and co. to the edge?
can andy reid coach away another victory? the jags after starting the season hot are in must-win situation after the humilating defeat to texas last week. mcchunk inexplicably threw rookie-like picks last week, and it should be a better defense this week...
i smell another bad week in the pickem pool
