I have to pick two winners this week in my pool, and New Orleans, San Diego, Denver, GB, Philly, etc. are off the board for me already.
Right now, I'm planning to go with Washington and Pitt. I really wish Chicago was playing someone other than Minnesota, because that could go either way. Likewise, Detroit and Arizona, who are both available to me, but no idea who wins that one at Arizona. I haven't used Indy, but they are obviously not an option. Likewise, I could use Carolina or Atlanta, but how the hell do you pick either of those teams against each other, especially with how bad Carolina looked this week. And why the fuck does KC have to be playing Seattle this week. Uggh.
I think literally the only other games that seem to be an option for me is Miami/Buffalo or Houston/Cleveland, but man, those are really hard to call, IMO. The Buffalo defensive line is playing as well as anyone, and I could see them forcing Tannehill into some bad throws and pulling that one out. Houston/Cleveland is a game between two of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL. They are basically both completely schizophrenic. I have no idea which version of either team would show up. If I was forced to pick one, it would be Cleveland, especially if it got announced that Aryan Foster wasn't playing, but he says he is, and that alone gives Houston a chance.
I guess there is one other game out there that I haven't considered much. San Francisco at the Giants. Obviously, I'd go with the Niners if forced to choose, and I've done pretty well so far going against the Giants, but something about San Fran and Kaepernick scares the shit out of me. Fuck me, this is a hard week to find two fucking winners.
Come on folks. Someone talk me into something. I'm actually more concerned about Pitt than I am Washington for some reason. I know Pitt is coming off a big loss, and they have to win this one to stay in a good spot for the playoff hunt, but I don't know. Monday night football, on the road, always a dicey proposition.
With respect to Washington who I hate, absolutely hate, Tampa is really, really bad. I think the Redskins defense is good enough to shut them down, and unless RGIII is really all done, he should be able to make something happen
