As the weeks roll by in this fine institution we call the NFL, my greatness shines much like the gold around Deion's neck.
This week's games will present new challenges for the psychic to confront and vanquish.
Dallas at Oakland
The Cowgirls are still dazed after losing to the American
Mafia's official football team, the 49ers. This should be an interesting battle, Troy "I'm very brittle" Aikman wants to play and may. On the other side, Raider's quarterback Jeff
Hostetler is back and should play well. Look for Tim Brown and Deion to do battle all day.
Look for the men in black to make the game as interesting as
Al Davis' hair. "King Switzer" wins.
Dallas 24 Oakland 17
Kansas City at Houston
KC has the best record in the NFL. But what amazes me is that
Head Coach Marty Shotenheimer hasn't out coached himself yet.
Houston Head Coach Jeff Fisher looks like a former porn star but seems to be coaching OK. Look for KC to roll with quarterback Steve Bono and fledgling superstar Tamerick Vanover.
Kansas City 28 Oilers 17
Green Bay at Cleveland
Green Bay, what a franchise! The Pack is coming off a big game against the Bears. But the one thing I always think of when I see the yellow and green colors of the Pack is how good Barry Sanders would have looked in those uniforms.
But he plays for Detroit. The Packers brass could have drafted him in 1988 but they drafted a guy by the name of
Tony Mandarich instead. Six years later, Sanders is a dominant running back, and Tony's delivering pizzas.
What does this have to do with the game you might ask? Well, a lot. The Pack will lose this game for the same reason they have lost a lot of games since 1988; they have NO running game, and Brett Farve has the consistency of cream corn.
Cleveland 17 Green bay 12
Indianapolis at New England
This game shapes up to be a battle of the "What Might Have Beens" in the AFC East. The Pats have suffered all year because star quarterback Drew Bledsoe has no targets to throw to.
For Indianapolis, the problem has been what would it have been like if they had an offensive line that could block at least one hole, on one play in one lousy game for Marshall
Faulk to run through.
New England is on a roll that will last long enough for them to finish with a good enough record to keep them from getting a decent pick in this year's draft.
New England 26 Indy 19
New Orleans at Cincinnati
Everyone likes to talk about how bad a coach Dave Shula is.
But would a bad coach steal players like Carl Pickens or
Darnay Scott in the second and third rounds of the draft? What coach would have the intelligence to pick up a quarterback like Jeff Blake off of the waiver wire and turn him into a starter?
The answer - a very good coach that has a team with average talent in second place in the AFC Central. On the other hand, the Saints have lame duck coach Jim Mora and little else.
Bengals roll.
Cincinnati 28 New Orleans 10
