Well, another weekend of football action full of upsets and let downs. My record for picks this weekend is 2-3...I was only right about Penn State and the Giants. My gut was right about State shitting the bed, Peyton is definitely not back to his old self (picked off twice) - last week was just a trick, and I should have known better than to pick against my sleeper team of the year, the Buffalo Bills. You can take everything you know about football - injuries, trades, weather conditions, who's on a roll - and throw it right out the window when it comes to making picks. None of it matters because whatever you think is going to happen...doesn't! For example, St. Louis - where did they come from? Last week they made fools out of a hot Washington Redskins team. This week, they came out of nowhere and taunted Dallas on their way to a 34-14 victory.
On to the Lions. As I suspected, the Lions managed to defy my rollercoaster theory and have continued their losing streak. They are now the proud owners of an 0-6 record - for the 5th time in their franchise history. However, in spite of their best efforts to be the worst team in NFL history, they have been out done by the Cincinnati Bengals (currently 0-7) who have started a season at 0-6 for the 8th time in their franchise history. Don't worry Lions, keep up the good work and in 3 more years you could take a stab at the Bengals record!
Being a Detroit sports fan is often very depressing. The Tigers were a huge disappointment this year, the Lions are consistently disappointing and the Pistons have crushed all hope by not living up to their regular season greatness in the post-season for the past several years. However, there is hope for the Detroit sports fan. Let's take a look at the best thing we have going...The Detroit Red Wings. They had an exciting OT win against the Rangers in which Marian Hossa scored his first goal as a Red Wing. The Wings have had some trouble with turnovers early on, but at a 3-1 start, the Wings have nothing to worry about. Once this team works out the kinks and gets their chemistry down...watch out! I don't think anyone will be able to stop them.
