Week 3 Predictions:
Thundering Herd (1-1) has Psychos (0-2) outmatched at almost every
position. Randy "Real Deal" Moss has thus far proven he's a bigtimer.
Too much firepower at QB and WR to be stopped this week. Lack of
consistency and depth is hurting Psychos. With Mitchell out, no kicker,
and only 2 starting RBs, Psychos are hoping WRs and Eric Green will carry
the team. Not gonna happen with Redskins defense holding the fort.
Look for T&A (1-1) to have a breakout week and return to the champion
caliber team they were all last season. Plummer and Sanders could post
extraordinary numbers vs. an injury plagued Eagles Defense. Midnight
Mauraders (0-2) failed to win a game with Brad Johnson at the helm. I
find it hard to believe that Kramer and Manning will do better. George
and Kaufman have been struggling. Things won't change against top NFL
defenses this week. T&A's WRs continue to dominate even without Rice.
Expect Moore to be praising Batch in the locker room after this week's
game.
***UPSET GAME OF THE WEEK***
Rage (2-0) has been the suprise team of the season thus far, due largely
to the dominant defensive play of the Seahawks and Packers. Both defenses
take on weak offenses this week, however Seattle's defense has used up there
td's for the year...so expect a slight drop. Shannon Sharpe is on fire,
like having a fourth WR, or better. Nothing special about the RBs or
WRs though. Tree Huggin' Hippies (0-2) have two top QBs and three good
WRs. RBs can be just as good as Rage's. Defense is suspect, but enough
power elswehere to make up for it. The winless Hippies will finally taste
victory and exploit the imperfections in the Rage in my upset game of the
week.
The JV Experience (2-0) has taken over as my favorite to go the distance
this season. Depth at nearly every postion makes him the favorite.
Miller Time (1-1) is without Young, Jamal Anderson, and Levens this week.
O'Donnell will fill nicely, but faces a tough Packers defense. Denver
should finally get on pace this week & solidify the Miller Time defense.
WRs will still be tough along with Brunell. RB is woeful this week with
Bennet, Lamar Smith, Skip Hicks, and Jerald Moore. JV is forced to sit
the dominating Hearst. WRs are solid along with Dudley. KC is tough, and
Tampa should recover this week vs. Bears. With Frerotte benched, QB could
turn out to be a trouble spot if Elway sits. Expect Miller Time to
receive an "Experience" this week that will end with JV sitting atop as
the lone undefeated team.
***FEATURED GAME OF THE WEEK***
ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT (1-1) vs. TOIN COSS (2-0)
Toin Coss is second only to JV in depth and it is needed this week with
the absence of Walls and Aikman. Tampa's running game should get on track
this week vs the bears which only means less for Dilferblows. McNair
coming of an injury could hamper his running yards. Duce Staley gets the
start over means, but the Eagles offense has yet to scare most collegiate
teams. WR's are outstanding but plagued by injuries. Coach McHugh elects
to chance the probable Alexander instead of going with Lewis. Jags are
tough on D but the overachieving Dolphins won't have any room to swim
against a high powered Steelers offense. Attitude Adjustment pulled
out a squeaker last week vs. Psychos. Davis is the backbone of the team
and Bettis turned it up last week. The search for a third back may
have ended if Greg Hill can repeat his 20 point performance from last
week. WRs are nothing great, but are consistent enough to support the
running game. Bobby Hoying gets the start as chandler rests on the
bye. Defense could make or break AA with the broken and dying Eagles.
Rams give up points, but not yards. The direct matchup of Bettis and
Johnson vs. Dolphins def and Mare should add to the excitment of this game.
All picks are Vin-A's opinions and in no way, shape, or form do they represent or intend to represent the opinions of the entire league.
