Wow, are we really half way through our fantasy football season? It seems like only yesterday I was telling everyone how I was going to beat their butts with the fantastic team that had drafted. I sure am glad they have short memories, because this season isn’t turning out so hot. Anyway, last week I was 10 - 4 which made my overall record 75 - 41, about 65% winning percentage, you know about a D grade. This week seems to be pretty challenging as well, so lets see if maybe I can’t pull an upset or two out of my pocket. I’m still in search of the perfect week.

Vikings at Packers: Packers. It’s pretty hard to route against Peterson, with the week he had last week. But this isn’t the Chargers and remember, a certain Hall of Fame candidate is still playing QB for Green Bay.

Broncos at Chiefs: Broncos. This is my upset of the week. Playing in Arrowhead Stadium is tough, and Denver has looked terrible the last few weeks. But for some reason I still can’t get behind Kansas City, even though I want to. Come on Travis Henry, put up some numbers, PLEASE!

Bills at Dolphins: Bills. Remember this is a team that should have beaten the Cowboys, and the Dolphins shouldn’t haven beaten anyone. Miami just sucks, and there is no nice way to put it. Wouldn’t in be funny of the Dolphins went 0 - 17 and the Patriots went 17 - 0. Boy that would piss off that arrogant Miami team from the 70’s.

Rams at Saints: Saints. Saints are on a winning streak, and the Rams are on a loosing streak. Well something has to give and I’m giving it to the home team. Brees has looked really good and as long as he and Colston like each other, I like the Saints.

Browns at Steelers: Steelers. Don’t be surprised if Cleveland pulls this one off. The Browns really aren’t that bad and they seem to have a pretty good offense. However Pittsburgh seems to have a good defense and just as capable offense.

Eagles at Redskins: Redskins. Eagles look like the team in that movie with the guy that was in Little Miss Sunshine and the other guy that was a rapper. Well whatever, Redskins really only looked bad against the Pats, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of, everyone else has as well.

Jaguars at Titans: Titans. Again I like the home team, but Vince Young needs to figure it out a bit. Please someone name three receivers that Vince Young throws to. Ok, too late, even Young didn’t know their names.

Falcons at Panthers: Panthers. I just don’t like the dirty birds, with or without Vick. So I’m expecting Steve Smith to catch at least 9 and go for 100+ yards.

Bengals at Ravens: Ravens. I think Baltimore was pretty embarrassed by their performance Monday night. I mean come on, 5 TD’s in the first half, and it wasn’t like they were playing against a good QB. But they still need to find an offense.

Bears at Raiders: Bears. Raiders stink and so do DA Bears. Bears at least have a few bright spots. Raiders have Justin Fargas, please.

Lions at Cardinals: Lions. Hey, Detroit actually has another sports team besides the Red Wings. Lions D looked really good last week and this week they have the opportunity to play against an even worse offense. Let them have it guys.

Cowboys at Giants: Giants. Hey if Ohio State can loose to Illinois, then the Cowboys can be beat by the Giants. Giants are on a winning streak and their D looks really good. Cowboys are high powered on offense and defense, but they go as Romo goes. We’ve seen what happens when he plays a defense that’s charged up. I think this is the game of the week.

Colts at Chargers: Colts. After last weeks lose, I think they will be ready to play. Charges haven’t done much of anything this year, especially scoring.

49ers at Seahawks: Seahawks. Boy oh Boy, ESPN has really put together some super Monday Night Football games this year, and here’s another one. This one’s going to be a dandy. Lets see the worse offense in the league is going against a mediocre defense and stalling offense. This should be a barn burner, good thing basketball season has tipped off.

So there you have it, another week for me to dream of the perfect week. If there is a week that you have to miss some games, I say this is the week to do it. If you really want to kiss up to your lady, then this is the week you lie to her and tell her that she is more important that football. You get one of these per season so I would take the opportunity this week. Good Luck and don’t let her know who gave you the advice.
