I don’t think either of today’s games will be as good as yesterday’s down-to-the-wire Pittsburgh-Bengal matchup. BTW, I was rooting fro the Bengals until I began to see that certain key players looked and acted like a bunch of thugs and low-lifes and the coach seemed unwilling or unable to control some of those guys. Their low-life abuse self-destructed in the end and I’m glad Pittsburgh won. We don’t need football turning into a low-life sport the way hockey seems to have gone IMO.

Here’s my match-up analyses and predictions for today’s games.

Seattle vs. Vikings
Seattle: Seattle’s big weapon is actually a shield - their top-ranked defense which should stop the Vikings who may be able to score some running the ball. Look for Seattle interceptions against the Vikes’ low-tier passing offense.
Seattle’s tough scoring offense is met by an equally tough Viking scoring defense which is strange because the Vikings have allowed mid-to-lousy yardage. The Vikes defense must be really good in the red zone
Vikings: The Vikings’ 5th best defense is their main hope against Seattle, The Vikes’ defense allows mid-to-lousy yardage, so the Vikes defense must be really good in the red zone.
On offense the Vikes are hurting in their passing game but may make some headway in their running game.
Projected winner: Seattle

Packers vs. Washington
Green Bay: Their mediocre offense may be able to move and score running the ball against Washington’s 2nd worst run defense.
Their mediocre defense may have some trouble with Washington’s passing game.
Washington: Washington may have a chance with their 6th best passing offense against Green Bay’s mediocre defense. Washington’s sad 3rd worst running offense is matched only by the equally bad Green Bay 4th worst run defense.
Their lower-tier defense may not be able to stop Green Bay’s running game.
This looks like the least exciting game of the bunch.
Projected winner: Green Bay

Re: Purple people eaters lead by 9 but it kind of feels like they’re up big, weird.

Now you know I haven't asked... for much--

Okay, okay-- I've not asked for much... since Tony went down the second time--

But now I only ask that the Seahags... don't score more than 8 points.
