Hippie, Rich Gannon threw 22 completions in a row so when that happens it make it hard for Denver. Griese got picked off by Rod Woodson at the 3 yard line when it looked like the Broncos were going to score early. That kind of let the air out of their tyres early. Jerry Rice is a freak of nature too!!

How about the Atlanta v Pitt. game? Maddox threw for 473 yards!! (And Marc Bulger threw for over 450 yards in the St.Louis game). First time ever that 2 qb's have thrown for over 450 yards in the same round. I don't think either qb threw an INT as well as Michael Vick in the Atlanta v Pitt. game. Amazing.

The Packers always lose at the Metrodome. So I picked them anyway. The Packers know this though, are a very good team, and Minnesota doesn't appear to be very good. So I think history takes a year off, although I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Vikings win anyway. I've seen it happen too many times.

I would think the Raiders want some serious blood for the infamous snow-bowl last year in Foxboro.

Crummy game of the week: Browns-Bengals. Or Texas-Jaguars. Or Jets-Lions. Man, there are some BAD games this week.

College update:

Last week: Nebraska 45, Kansas 7. Not much news to report here. Eliminated from Big 12 North title contention after Missouri choked in OT against the hated Buffs.

This week: at Kansas State. Huskers are 11 point dogs. There would be few things better to salvage a lousy season than to beat this Johnny-come-lately mob in their place.

#1 Oklahoma was beaten at Texas A&M. Ohio State and Notre Dame both pulled close, come-from-behind wins out of their behinds against vastly inferior opponents.

Hippie, it's cool. We tried. This week KC can do it. Bills have Bledsoe and not much else. That doesn't get it done at Arrowhead. As far as it goes with our loss to the 49'ers, well I'm not one of those guys who complain bitterly about abysmal rip-off gyp favoritism umpiring. So I'm not saying anything.

Oakland's win was a surprise. They tend to play hard on Monday Nights. In this case they far exceeded that. They put on a magnificent show. By comparison, Denver didnt' show up. Oakland will now go back to what they were doing so magnificently before - choking.

Stealth, I'm working the weekend of the Nebraska/K-State game. What's worse, I know someone who could get me a ticket if I was off.

MOOSTER PICKS WEEK 11:

Pittsburgh
Indy
KC (this is a real pick, and not just me being a homer)
Baltimore (Ray Lewis is back, Fiedler ain't)
Green Bay (they struggle at the Humpty Dump, but not this year)
NY Giants (watch this only if you're scouting)
Philly
New Orleans
Cleveland
Tampa Bay
San Francisco (and not just because I want them too)
Denver (not that I want them to)
Jacksonville
NY Jets
New England - Vengeance vs. Validation. A must see game. I like vengeance quite a bit. Just not Oakland.

TMF: St. Louis
