1st and 10 (Week 6)

thoughts of from Week 5

- they call it the Culpeppocalypse or Daunte's Inferno. aside from destroying fantasy teams in the last 21 NFL weeks, Daunte Culpepper seems to have lost his mojo in real life, and gets benched in favor of Joey Harrington (yes, that Joey Harrington). i remember the Florida newspapers back in '99 trumpeting their native son when he was drafted by the Vikings. this season was supposed to be a great homecoming, playing for the Miami Dolphins. now its been a nightmare.
- T.O. has B.O.!
- Yeah, why are you in Dallas anyway? You should be out of the NFL!
- Philly fans showed real restraint last Sunday. I commend you.
- one-time Paris boytoy Matt Leinart impressed in loss last weekend, throwing 2 TDs for the first 2 the Chiefs allowed all year.
- Damon WHO(ard)? KC, 2-0.
- 0-41 Jets loss. Bruuuuuuuuuuutal.
- Reggie Bush! Reggie Bush!
- methinks i should read Michael Lewis' The Blind Side. In fact, am standing up right now and heading over to Borders.
- with my eerie success rate on predicting game-winners straight-up, i should start betting on NFL games. good thing i have no clue about over/unders.

Week 6 Prognostications
Buffalo at Detroit ... Go Tigers! *lol*
Carolina at Baltimore ... Ravens get taken down one more notch
NY Giants at Atlanta ... Jints better stop the run
Houston at Dallas ... Kubs would like to win this one
Tennessee at Washington ... Titans almost-win. again.
Cincinnati at Tampa Bay ... Bucs won't make playoffs
Philadelphia at New Orleans ... Iggles won't be sympathetic
Seattle at St. Louis ... finally proves if 2006 Rams are for real
Miami at NY Jets ... duel of branches of the Belichick Tree
Kansas City at Pittsburgh ... Steelers are out of sync
San Diego at San Francisco ... not this week, Mike Nolan
Oakland at Denver ... wouldn't it be great if Raiders upset the Broncos?
Chicago at Arizona ... Leinart better keep sliding


last week: 12-2 (whoooaah)
Overall: 50-24 (a 67% clip? whoooaah)
