Week 6 Results

A very anticlimactic finish for the two of us, but it's better than most weeks I've had. At least the NFL was more exciting this week than our picks. Here are some random thoughts on Week 6.
  • The Giants are a legit contender in the NFC. They beat up on a bad Falcons team but their defense has come together and looks very, very good.
  • The Rams are the worst team in football. I honestly think all the injuries could save Linehan's job. Regardless, this hire was a complete and utter mistake. It's never too early to blow it up and start over.
  • With a favorable schedule ahead, the Saints are going to make a run at a very winnable division and contend for a playoff spot.
  • The Chargers are back with a vengeance. The rest of the AFC should be afraid of this team.
  • Why do people keep kicking the ball to Devin Hester? I mean, seriously, I can't think of any circumstance where it would be ok to kick him the ball. Just kick the damn thing out of bounds and be done with it.
  • Adrian Peterson will be, and currently is, the best player to come from the 2007 NFL draft. And, the Vikings have said he will continue to split carries with Chester Taylor. That's why the Vikings will continue to lose. That and abysmal QB play.
  • The AFC is infinitely better than the NFC. We already knew that - NE/Dal helped solidify it.
  • The Jags are the best team nobody knows about. Maybe Garrard was the answer in Jacksonville. Through 5 games he has not thrown a single INT.
  • Vinny Testaverde is better than 75% of NFL quarterbacks....and he's 43!
  • The Bears D is overrated. They've grown old quickly and can't stay healthy. But still, please keep kicking the ball to Devin Hester. A Hester return is one of the most exciting moments in any sport.

Outstanding synopsis of Week 6. I couldn't have said it better myself. How does it feel to beat me ATS for a week?
