Let me start off by saying thanks.
Thanks for reading. Because the truth is we know nothing. We
can pretend to know. But we just don’t. In a game that featured 2 explosive
offenses, and poor defences – the Dallas Philadelphia game produced a combined
20 points. 20. As a point of reference, the anemic Titans offense put up 17
points in 1 quarter.
After getting 12 carries inside the 5 yard line last year
converting 7 of those runs into TD’s, Alfred Morris got 1 in Week 7 for a 2
yard gain. His backup Roy Helu had 2 carries, both converted to TD’s from 3
yards out. Much to the dismay of fantasy owners.
But this isn’t just for football. On Monday night in the
NHL, the Sharks played the Red Wings while the Penguins faced off against the
Avalanche. 4 teams dripping in offensive power.... Combined for 1 goal. The
Sharks-Wings game went to the lovely shootout to produce a winner.
This is me lamenting going 5-10 last week.... We know
nothing (and yes I’m dragging you down with me, sorry). So since things are
spirally out of control, it’s time to do the opposite. Yes, I’m channeling my inner
George Costanza.
Onto the Thursday Night Pick. Home team in CAPS:
Panthers (-7) over BUCCANEERS
Every part of me loves the HOME DOG. 0-6 team that needs to rebound in a big way with a chance to do it on national TV. Plus it’s a short week and this Touchdown spread
seems about 3-4 points too high. The Bucs D is the only salvageable part of
this team considering the destruction the offensive side has faced. But I’m
going to stick to doing the opposite. Swallow the 7 points and order the chicken
salad on rye, untoasted with a side of potato salad and a cup of tea.
Rest of Week 7 picks on Friday
Last Week: 5-10
This Season: 46-59-2
