Week 6 Preview: Somewhere The Boz Is Smiling

By Brett | Permalink | No Comments | October 13th, 2006 | Trackback

A quick aside before we get to this week’s predictions: wtf on the mohawk/faux hawk making a comeback in th NFL? We figured that this was just another Chad Johnson attention deficit thing in the pre-season, but it seems to have really taken hold. Shawne Merriman jumped on the bandwagon as well, looking even more like a badass than he did before. Clinton Portis got in the act too, sometime after the filming of the “you didn’t see me….on Sunday, but can see me….on Tuesday, and Wednesday!” NFL Network commercials. Our personal fave, though, is that of Broncos CB Darrent Williams, if for no other reason than it reminds us of one of the most ridiculous players in recent memory: The one and only Fred Ex.

Buffalo vs. Detroit
In the battle of teams that have had their asses handed to them by the Bears, the Lions prove to be the suckier of the two. We’re taking Buffalo.

Carolina vs. Baltimore
Baltimore seems to be one of those teams that will beat up on the crappy teams, but can’t run with big dogs. Same old story…great defense, not enough offense. We’re going with the Panthers in this one.

Cincinnati vs. Tampa Bay
Between suspensions and injuries, the Bengals are losing players left and right. But they do get Chris Perry back this week, which will be the difference in this game. Not really. But we’re still taking Cincy.

NYG vs. Atlanta
Atlanta. Because we’re becoming more and more convinced that the Giants are a pretty bad team. We don’t count the win last against Washington, because it had more to do with the Skins’ inconsistency than it does with anything the Giants are doing.

Houston vs. Dallas
David Carr deserves better than having to play for the Texans. Drew Bledsoe, on the other hand, is a guy that probably deserves to play for a shite team. Any possibility of getting these two guys traded for one another? We’re taking Dallas in this one, but only because they’re playing the Texans.

Philadelphia vs. New Orleans
When it’s all said and done, Philly could end up being the team to beat again in the NFC. Well, that might be a stretch, but we still think they’ll take it to the Saints this weekend.

Seattle vs. St. Louis
If this were in Seattle, we’d take the Hawks, but we’re going with St. Louis at home.

Tennessee vs. Washington
We can’t really see Tennessee winning this one, or even coming close for that matter, after they almost won one last weekend. It’ll probably be another few weeks before they threaten to win another one. Washington it is, then, but which Skins team will it be? The one that dropped 36 on Jacksonville, or the one that could barely get on the scoreboard against the Giants. We’re still trying to figure that one out.

Kansas City vs. Pittsburgh
Seriously, who cares? It’s amazing how quickly these two teams have become irrelevant.

Miami vs. NYJ
Call us crazy, but we like Miami in this one. They look like they’re thinking about winning a game one of these weeks, and the Jets have come crashing back to earth.

San Diego vs. San Francisco
It would take a minor miracle for the 49ers to win this one. Or maybe, just maybe Marty Schottenheimer puckers his cornhole extra tight, goes ultra-conservative, and gives the plucky 49ers a chance. We don’t really care either way. We’re just stoked we found a way to use the words pucker, plucky and cornhole in the same sentence.

Oakland vs. Denver
Did you hear about the high school team in Michigan whose coach cancelled the season because it had become physically unsafe for his overmatched team to be on the field with the competition? That’s what Oakland needs to do. Just end it.
