OUCH

Rough week for the Bucs. Rough week for a lot of teams and players. My prediction was for the Bucs to hand the Lions' their arsses, but instead, the Lions handed the Bucs theirs. There's always that "a W is a W" phrase, one phrase I never agreed with whatsoever. Sure, the Bucs are now 4-0, a record shared only by three other teams. But seriously, if we play like we did last Sunday, we wont stretch that winning streak any further.

I also predicted that Cadillac Williams would rush for over 150 yards. Pretty cocky you might think, but right online to do such a thing before the game started. He was benched in the game because of a hamstring injury. That still wouldn't have mattered. Injury or not, the Lions defense shut him down. Very well, I might add. I really hope he is OK for next week's game in new York against the Jets.

Other teams embarrassed or debacled this past Sunday include the Buffalo Bills who went to 1-3, even though they played a decent game. New England was handed their own arss by San Diego, and what a GREAT game that was to watch! I love the fact that the "superhuman" Pats were proven to be just that... HUMAN. The New York Giants CLOBBERED the Rams on Sunday, and Minnesota was handed, yet, another loss. (I sit here and laugh in sweet silence). Arizona whipped up on the 49ers in front of a huge Mexican crowd and brought their way out of a winless season thusfar. But, we all know the most shocking event of the week: The fact that Green Bay STILL has yet to win a football game.

The Packers, in my opinion, are still a great team. I absolutely LOVE the amount of respect that opposing teams and their players show Brett Favre. A lot of times right after a sack! It just represents what sportsmanship should be like everywhere, all of the time. Terrence Murphy got smacked so hard he left the game on a stretcher. I pray to God that he's OK, because that was an ugly hit. I am really surprised the Packers haven't won a game yet. If you would have told me that in the preseason, I would have laughed at you, and probably lost a lot of money! Oh well, I think they will do fine in week five. Here are my predictions:

Green Bay 24, New Orleans 20
Baltimore 17, Detroit 31
Chicago winning at Cleveland 21-10
Miami losing to Buffalo at home 28-27
New England beating Atlanta at home 35-28
Seattle beating St. Louis (in StL) 14-10
Tampa Bay @ NY Jets.... see next post!
Houston losing another one, this time to Tennessee 31-21
Indianapolis in San Francisco, Indy 38, SF 20
Carolina losing to Arizona at home 21-17
Philadelphia losing to Dallas 30-14
Tough call of the week: Washington at Denver: Wash: 20, Den: 27
Cincinnati at Jacksonville. Bengals win 24-14
Game of the Week (in my opinion), MNF: Pittsburgh in San Diego. SD wins 34-17

Good week coming up! Hey, at least the Vikings wont botch a game this week. :)
