The play-off races are heating up. Hopefully you’re still in the running. Lot’s of tough decisions this week.
Your byes this week:
Broncos, Jaguars, 49ers, Rams, Titans, Redskins.
Comedian Al Madrigal joined us this week on the podcast to discuss the 49ers potential QB controversy. He brought in surprise special guest Kevin Christy who hosts a FF show on Direct TV channel 101. Be sure to check out Al’s new YouTube video.
On to week 9:
I’m not looking for Tom Brady to have a big in Cleveland. Maybe 200 yards and a TD. This of course means he’s going to go nuts on the Browns secondary and I’ll be reposting these words next week. The trend is he’s been doing o.k. on the road this season.
If you’re all about the emerging Lions offense hold off a week. The Jets roll into Ford Field. The Jets offense? Hmmm. Step lively, but they should recover against a suspect Detroit D.
What a mess for San Diego. Playing a week Houston pass defense, but having almost all of their top receivers, including TE Antonio Gates. WR Patrick Crayton may be an option, and may be available in your league. I’m going with Indy TE Jacob Tamme for now, unless I see that Gates will play before kick-off. Still…
Chicago visits Buffalo and the improving, yet still winless Bills. Buffalo’s offensive players are probably a safe a start, same with the Bears. Don’t see either set of players piling up tons of points.
Arizona at Minnesota. The Viking defense ain’t what it used to be, though the Crads aren’t a great road team. Still it’s an indoor game which helps their offense. A banged up Brett Faver is suspect, though a Randy Moss-less offense brings everyone’s value back up.
Tampa Bay at Atlanta in a battle for first place. Should be a high scoring affair. This is one where I expect lots of players to put up double-digit stats. But probably not as I am starting QB Matt Ryan (over Tom Brady).
New Orleans at Carolina. The Panthers D hasn’t been horrible, it’s their O that’s killing them. QB Drew Brees, an obvious must start, is a bit banged up. The rest of the Saints offense is a roll of the dice as usual.
New York Giants at Seattle. Both teams can play flawlessly, both can underwhelm. Start your big starters; look elsewhere for back-ups.
Indy Colts at Philly Eagles, in what should be a pretty high scoring game. The Colts D is tough, but they are on the road, and do give up big plays, only to come back and stuff the opposing O, and sack the QB. The Eagles are coming off a bye and should be in good shape al around.
Kansas City at Oakland in the surprise bowl. Both teams doing well, but not putting up huge offensive numbers. Oakland has been rushing well, but it’s the special teams that’s been doing it for them. The Chiefs just hang in there every week until they win.
Dallas at Green Bay. This one speaks for itself. Start Miles Austin for the Cowboys and all Packers.
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. I actually think the Bengals will win this game. Poorly as they have been playing, they seem to have the Steelers number. That being said offensive players on both sides should have a solid game.
