Last Week
Peyton Manning 24.4 beat Drew Brees 21.6 WHICH I GOT WRONG.
If you subtract points for INTs, I'm right.
Willie Parker 11.3 beat Adrian Peterson 5.9 as I predicted. I won't even count the 3 points I was spotting myself.
Cedric Benson 15.7 beat Priest Holmes 7.9WHICH I GOT WRONG.
Terrell Owens 24.5 beat Larry Fitzgerald 19.4 WHICH I GOT WRONG.
Braylon Edwards 7.6 beat Santonio Holmes 5.1 WHICH I GOT WRONG.
Super Stretch
Greg Jennings 6.3 beat Steve Smith 6.1 as I predicted.

This Week's Picks
Ben Roethlisberger over Peyton Manning
Peyton beat me last week since I didn't deduct for INTs. I think next year I'll start doing that. Anyway, I think Big Ben is going to light the Jets up. Manning should do fine against Kansas City, but there will probably be a couple QBs that put up numbers. Ben will be one of them.
Brian Westbrook over LaDainian Tomlinson
Why not take on another big gun? Westbrook should be in line for a monster against Miami. LT may be slowed a bit by Jacksonville.
Brandon Jacobs over Willie Parker
Jacobs should have a field day against Detroit. Parker is a little banged up so I think Pittsburgh will be relying on the pass against the Jets.
Larry Fitzgerlad over Terrell Owens
I'm calling for a repeat. Fitzy had a great game last week. MeO just did a little better. This week, I think Larry tops him in his matchup with Cincinnati. MeO faces Washington, which has been bad lately, but I think their safeties will keep him somewhat in check.
Andre Johnson over Steve Smith
He's back. Why not trot him out on a limb right away? New Orleans is about the perfect team to return against. If Delhomme could return for Smith, maybe he could pull it out, but I just don't have faith in Carolina QBs.
SUPER STRETCH
Chester Taylor over Clinton Portis
With Adrian Peterson out this week, Chester gets a chance to put up solid numbers against a bad Oakland team. Washington will be playing catch up with Dallas so Portis will be limited.
What did you think of my predictions? Do you have any fantasy upsets in mind? Please leave your comments.

Post a CommentSorry about the bad info re Chester or MB3. Henry was solid, but DJ would have been better.
Chester dominated. Nice stretchy picks.
Without Harrison again this week, I think your Roethlisberger is a completely solid choice. Indy probably stands to lose another game this week.
I think I ride Favre's hot hand. Like Marion the Barbarian over Chester. Gotta play Fitzy. Gotta play Plax against Detroit even with the bum ankle. The third one is tough. Hackett plays the Bears, Jericho plays Pitt. Henry doens't have a bad matchup with Arizona, but it's a little tough to have faith in a 3rd WR this time of year. I guess I'd roll the dice on Henry.
yikes. no line, breaks! whiggity whack.
Big Chester gonna light up that weak OAK D?
Who do I start?
Warner @ CIN or Favre @ CAR
I am starting Chester @ OAK
over Marion the barbarian @ WAS
Which 3 should start at WR:
1. Plaxico
2. Fitzy
3. DJ Hackett
4. Chris Henry
5. Jericho Crochtery
