Well… how ’bout that Lions pick last week, eh? That sure backfired thanks to Steven Jackson, the only player on the St. Louis Rams worth a damn this season. Of course, being a Lions fan I couldn’t even watch the game so I got to watch the much more competitive San Francisco at Indianapolis game. Anyways, NFL grief aside I was still able to finally pull ahead in the overall season standings:
| MAN | WINNER | MADDEN |
|---|---|---|
| YES | Houston | YES |
| YES | Chicago | |
| YES | Dallas | |
| St. Louis | YES | |
| Baltimore | ||
| YES | Indianapolis | YES |
| Miami | YES | |
| Philadelphia | YES | |
| YES | Tennessee | |
| YES | San Diego | YES |
| Carolina | ||
| YES | Minnesota | |
| YES | New Orleans | YES |
| Man’s Record | Madden’s Record | 8-5 | 7-6 |
MAN: 45-23
MADDEN: 44-24
Week Nine, from afar, looks like an open and shut week. That’s because for the most part it is. There will surely be some competitive games, and I think the Sunday Night/Monday Night games are exceptional, but for the most part these games all heavily favor one team — specifically the home team. In fact, the only particularly competitive game I can imagine during the day on Sunday (not Sunday Night or Monday Night) would be Houston at Indianapolis.
Sadly, I’m stuck watching Detroit at Seattle.
