I know I missed the Thursday game. Probably luckily I did because, as you can read under fantasy football section, I thought Vince Young would have a nice day and yet he threw four interceptions. He still ended up with 7 points which shows that he has fantasy potential.
Anyway, here are my predictions. Purely based on winning and losing. Let me know what you think.
Carolina versus Tampa Bay- We are not starting off easy folks. Two teams that defences are poor and should allow for a lot of running the ball. The Bucs (4-7) have not won for 5 games while Carolina are 3-8 and coming off a win against the Colts. Although I enjoy Newton, I think Tampa Bay have enough to win being at home and having LaGarrette Blount on their team.
Cincinnati versus Pittsburgh- The Steelers have too much at home. Although rookies Dalton and Green are having brilliant seasons, they have never seen anything like this before. Expect a Steelers' win but the Bengals will fight and it could be tighter than expected.
Atlanta versus Houston- If Matt Schuab was playing then I would give it straight to the Texans. However, Matt Ryan and the Falcons are showing some serious class. With only one bad loss this year and not having lost on the road since week 4, you have to say Falcons will win. T.J. Yates under centre should be successful but he also will be afraid and nervous; especially with the Falcons being 2nd best team in limiting running backs.
New York Jets versus Washington- Although Rex Grossman has offered the Redskins a new life this season, Darrelle Revis and Cromartie as corner backs has to worry Rex. He has limited recieving options and it will allow the line backers to focus upon stoping Roy Helu Jr. Even with an inconsistent Jets' offence, the Jets win.
Indianapolis versus New England- NOT EVEN WORTH DISCUSSING. PATRIOTS WIN
Oakland at Miami- Well this pits my team (Raiders) against a team that a few of my friends support so I'm going to give logical information and then personally say OAKLAND WILL WIN. Raiders run the ball well, the Dolphins stop the run well. Dolphins have a poor pass defense, Raiders have limited receivers. The Dolphins offence is a on a roll and doing well while the Raiders defence had a huge game last week. I am saying Oakland wins purely based on my feelings rather than logic, sorry has to be done. Go Raiders.
Denver versus Minnesota- Adrian Peterson is out. I like Ponder as a QB and what he is doing. However, the Broncos are playing awesome and really have Tebow playing the way he did in college. With a great running game and a strong defence, Denver Wins.
Tennessee at Buffalo- What can you say about this game. The match-up of two teams that looked to have great seasons and yet have struggled. The Bills' defence is in such disarray that you have to think that players like Chris Johnson, Nate Washington and Damien Williams will be enough for the Titans to win. However, Buffalo are good at home and looked a little better last week. Titans win due to a better defence.
Kansas City visit Chicago- Even with Hanie at QB, Chicago wins. Matt Forte will have a nice day against a poor Chiefs run defence (26th). Kyle Orton at QB might look like a save but I do not see it, sorry Chiefs fans.
Baltimore at Cleveland- The Ravens should win. I mean they are clearly the better team. Then again the Ravens lost to Jacksonville and Tennessee so it should be a comfortable Ravens win. If they lose their concentration, give the ball to Ray Rice like 4 times again, then expect the unexpected but logically the Ravens have a lot more than the Browns.
Dallas versus Arizona- Cowboys win. Romo should take this defence apart and with DeMarco Murray running the ball so well, too much fire power. The return of Kevin Kolb will help the Cardinals, but not enough I am afraid.
Green Bay at New York Giants- Nothing seems to be able to stop Aaron Rodgers right now. Even with no running game, I do not see Eli Manning being able to do enough to win; especially after seeing what Drew Brees did to this defence on MNF. Green Bay wins again.
St. Louis at San Francisco- 49ers are on fire this season. Alex Smith and Frank Gore on top of a great defence will equal another win for Jim Harbaugh's impressive first season. St. Louis cannot compete at their level, maybe next year. 49ers win.
Detroit at New Orleans- After seeing what Drew Brees can do on Monday Night Football, you have to start to take the Saints serious. Even if their defence is not playing as great, that amazing win will allow confidence to flow strongly through the veins of each Saints player. Detroit have a hurt Kevin Smith and a suspended Suh, Megatron should have a huge game through. Saints win.
San Diego at Jacksonville- Two teams that are having problems. The Jags have no Head Coach while Norv Turner's job looks a little shaky as well. I think the Chargers will win this. However, expect a high dossage of MJD and him to easily top 100 yards rushing.
That is what I think for this week. Check back on Wednesday for a review of Week 13 and we will see if I am right. Good luck to everyone on fantasy football.
