Each week I have been highlighting the stories of this year’s NFL season and one story remains the same. The New York Giants still haven’t won a game. I won’t continue to criticize the team because at this point it is useless. Instead lets get started with week 6 and the games of the week. At week six we start to realize which teams look like they will be playing after the season ends. And after looking at the schedule I have decided which games I will consider the GAMES OF THE WEEK. I only pick three because why waste time on the games that will be essentially boring or even worse blowouts. ( JAX vs Denver)
NOLA vs Patriots – This game features two of the greatest QBs in the game in Brees and Brady. Nola has one of the most high powered offenses with Brees behind center, they get the job done. Brees has Graham who is arguably the best TE in the game and a nightmare to opposing defenses. So you can count on Brees looking to go his way early and often. Brady a three time champion has found a way to get wins this year. The team plagued with injuries and off season issues don’t have an all star receiver corp like usual but one piece remains and that is TOM. The team was expected to have Gronk back this week but reports have stated that won’t be the case. However he will have Amendola who he can count on to make plays and move the chains. The Saints (5-0) will defeat the Patriots (4-1) today and I say this because of the injury to Wilfork. He provided defensive pressure on the quarterback and I don’t think Brees will get rushed and the last thing you want to give him is time.
Packers at Ravens – The Packers are 2-2 this year, go figure. They will travel to Bmore and face a stingy Ravens defense. Granted the defense isn’t the same anymore with the loss of Ray Lewis and Ed Reed but they are still one of the elite physical teams in the league. I look to see how they will defend the Packers against the pass because this is no secret, they like to throw. On the other side of the football , Superbowl MVP Joe Flacco will be at the center of attention. With a huge extension during the summer, the Ravens turn to him to lead them to victory each week. Especially because they have not been able to establish the run like they have in previous years. And if this turns into a shootout with Rodgers the Ravens might have to pass way more then they want to. I think the Ravens win this game because it will be won on the defensive side, and at home I think they cause turnovers.
Redskins at Cowboys – After watching Romo have arguably the best game of his life and still lose it will be very interesting to see how he bounces back against Washington today. This is a divisional game which adds drama from the beginning. Also the Redskins are coming off a bye week so they have had time to prepare for this game. The Division is very weak this year (Giants) so each win can help these teams at a birth for playoffs. I am looking to see how RG3 and Morris perform this game. Last year the two were a force to reckon with but not so much this year. RG3 is recovering from an ACL injury and quite frankly the scouting report is out on Morris who rushed for a 1000 yards last year. I think the Cowboys win this game, they have a freak of nature at WR in Dez Bryant. I think Romo has another great game and the Cowboys will score enough points to win. Neither team has a great defense so expect a lot of offense this game.
FANTASY TIPS FOR WEEK 6
Last week I said to start Blackmon – This week I am telling you the same. Yes they are playing the Broncos …..but Garbage points count
Moreno – Moreno is the RB for the team that has Peyton and they are playing Jax – Have him in your lineup has been consistent all year
Sleeper Alert- Hankerson of Redskins – I will keep an eye on him for weeks to come. Granted I am saying this expecting RG3 will start to play like RG3 again.
