Last week’s stellar 12-4 might call into question the proven strategy of betting the opposite of my picks. I almost had 13-3 as the Titans almost upset the Texans. But almost only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and KC Royals playoff aspirations. I’m confident that I can restore your hopes in my idiocy this week:
KC over Philadelphia
Houston over Baltimore
NYG over Carolina
Cincinnati over Green Bay (upset of the week)
Dallas over St. Louis
Minnesota over Cleveland (closer than you’d think)
New England over Tampa Bay
New Orleans over Arizona (I’m feeling an Arz upset though)
San Diego over Tennessee
Detroit over Washington
Atlanta over Miami
Buffalo over NYJ
Seattle over Jacksonville
San Francisco over Indianapolis
Pittsburgh over Chicago
Denver over Oakland
Fantasy Stud of the Week: Matthew Stafford
Fantasy Sleeper of the Week: Jacquizz Rodgers
Other Crazy Picks:
That Stafford thing is just wishful thinking—but 450 and 5 TD’s
With Steven Jackson out Jacquizz goes for 150/2
Vick is turnover prone against a stout KC defense
The Giants running game returns, 2 TD’s for Jacobs
Starks is shut down, AJ Green has a big day
A botched snap inside the 20 with only seconds remaining gives NE the win
Jay Cutler returns to form with 3 INT’s and less than 50% completions
Thanks to Special Teams play that Denver game is close
