Cincinnati over San Diego
I’m not doing this on purpose Eddy. I think the Bengals are going into San Diego pissed and ready to go. They first lose in Minnesota and now today they lost one of their teammates. The last time the Bengals had a part of their family pass away, they won against the Ravens 17-14. They need this win to prove to everyone that they are a playoff team. On the flip side, a loss might hurt the swagger of Cincinnati. Losing two straight and one of their teammate will most likely have a negative affect on the team morale. Or maybe this is because I’m a Bengals fan. Either way, I pick the Bengals to win.
Indianapolis over Jacksonville
The Jaguars are at home but I have a feeling it won’t make a difference. The Colts are the better team in this matchup by far. However, Jacksonville did make it a tight game in their first meeting with the Colts. Expect this one to be close but the Colts will most likely win.
New Orleans over Dallas
Dallas can’t buy a break in December. Now they have to go into the Louisiana Superdome and try to win against an unbeaten team. I’m not picking the Saints because Dallas has a poor record in December. I’m picking the Saints because they are the better team. New Orleans has beaten better teams. If the Saints continue with their successful passing game, they’ll be at an advantage.
Tennessee over Miami
The Titans were dynamite against one of the league’s worst teams last week. The problem is Vince Young pulled a hamstring after a long run. Hopefully the Titans have him on the field next week so that they can have their two-headed rushing attack back. I think the Titans can tear through the Dolphins defence with that rushing attack and win this game. Miami will keep it close. Of course, both teams are (barely) in the hunt for the playoffs. We’ll see how this game turns out.
Pittsburgh over Green Bay
Now I know that the Steelers are almost out of the playoffs but I think that they win this game. Pittsburgh is at home and I think that they can come together and end their losing streak. Amazingly, the Steelers are actually favoured in this game. I’ll go with the consensus and say that the Steelers win this game by seven.
Other picks:
New England over Buffalo
Arizona over Detroit
Kansas City over Cleveland
Houston over St.Louis
New York Jets over Atlanta
Philadelphia over San Francisco
Baltimore over Chicago
Denver over Oakland
Seattle over Tampa Bay
Minnesota over Carolina
New York Giants over Washington
Hopefully I do better than 8-8 this week
After getting into a dispute, Chris Henry’s fiancé took his truck and started driving away. Henry decided to jump into the trunk and later fell out. His injuries were deemed “life-threatening” and he was put on life support. Less than 24 hours after being admitted to the hospital, Chris Henry was pronounced dead.
As a Bengals fan, this news was a bit more disturbing than it is to others. We all know about his troubles with the law. But ever since he resigned with the Bengals, he stayed out of trouble and focused more on football. He got a tattoo under his left ear that said ‘Blessed’. His teammates noticed his difference in attitude. He was turning around his life. Cincinnati plans to wear a patch on their helmets with the number 15 on them. Here is an image from NFL.com:
Now, all we can do is remember the man that had his life, his new life, taken away. I think I speak for everyone on this site when I say that our condolences go out to his family. This must be a devastating time for them, especially his fiancé and Henry’s three children.
RIP Chris Henry, you will be missed
Patriot Problems
Wow it’s amazing what can happen when your team loses two straight for the first time since 2006. Tom Brady calls out his team, Adalius Thomas gets benched and now people are speculating that Randy Moss is giving up on his team. Moss made one catch that he fumbled. After the game, Chris Gamble said he knew that Moss would shut it down and give up. But the thing is the Patriots won the game so maybe we should delay the talk of the dynasty crumbling until after the season. The question I’d like answered: Who is more important to that offence, Wes Welker or Randy Moss?
Monster Receiving
Andre Johnson: 11 Catches, 193 yards, 2 TD’s
Brandon Marshall: 21 Catches, 200 yards, 2 TD’s
Enough said right? It’s clear that these two receivers are two of the best in the league. For Marshall, it’s a bitter sweet feeling. He’s 9th in the league for receiving yards and 3rd for receptions even though he only started 11 games. But for Johnson, this was just another day at the office. In my opinion, Andre Johnson is the best receiver in the league. He is also one of the quietest receivers in the league. He’s currently 1st in the league for receiving yards and 7th for receptions. We could see some more great numbers out of these two guys as they both face average pass defences this week.
Cleveland Steels a Game
Yes, the Browns beat the Steelers. Now who is to blame? Well we can’t blame the Steeler defence. They did allow some big runs but they kept Quinn to only 90 yards and the Browns put up only 13 points. The blame should be placed on the execution of the offence and the sacks giving up. Pittsburgh was in position a number of times to score yet they wouldn’t be able to get into the end zone. Plus, Ben Roethlisberger was sacked eight times. Everyone blames the offensive line for the sacks but if you watched that game, you would see that some of the sacks could have been avoided. Roethlisberger had time to pass yet he constantly hung on to the ball for too long. For each of the last four years, the Steelers have been one of the most sacked teams. I don’t think you can continue to place the full blame on the offensive line. Roethlisberger needs to get rid of the ball faster instead of hanging in the pocket hoping for a big play.

Browns Win SB!!!!
After years and years of being buried in the pile of the suck, Coach MJ led the Browns to the franchises first ever SB.
Very good game here. It started with a pick 6 for me on a pass attempeted to colston. He then got the ball and got a FG 7-3 me. My next drive I drive all the way downfield but get forced to a FG. I kick the ball off and give up a KO return to Henderson 10-10. I get forced to punt. He gets ball and gets to the goalline but as Brees tries to find the endzone he fumbles. We then go into half my ball coming out.
I get ball and get picked off on a Rocket attempt to Robiskie. He then drives downfield and punches it in with 1:26 left in the third. I get ball and regroup and drive down to his 26…i then throw a Rocket to Brain Robiskie in triple coverage, he get hit, flipped over and STILL holds on lol. 17-17 with 3:15 left in the game. he gets ball and starts drivins, he’s at my 44 under two minutes remaining its first and 10. First down he runs gets nothing. Second down he runs gets two…he is on my 42. Third down..incomplete pass. 4th and 8 on my 42 he decides to kick a 59 yarder. The kick is up and accurate but hits the crossbar and its NO GOOD! I then get the ball at my own 47 and manage my way up in easy FG position and kick a 2 yd game winning FG as time expired.
