Average Forecasted Score: Lions 0 Vikings 0
Daunte Culpepper’s season is over and Brad Johnson takes over at QB again. The last time he was the QB in Minnesota was Randy Moss’s rookie year (remember him Vikings fans?) and he went down with an injury early on opening the door for Randall Cunningham. Seems like a long time ago, especially with all that’s happened this year for the Vikings. Detroit’s excitement over their stellar receiving corp has to be seriously dampened. Injuries, suspensions and subpar play have not only killed a lot of fantasy league owners, but also led to Detroit’s offensive struggles. Charles Rogers is back from suspension and Roy Williams will hopefully come back sometime. He seems to have a low tolerance for pain — not good for NFL players. As Detroit gets its full complement of players back and Minnesota suffers the loss of Culpepper, Detroit is going on to win a majority of the simulations to get a much needed road win.

Average Forecasted Score: Colts 0 Patriots 0
This is the game the entire Universe has been looking forward to. It looks like it will be a balmy 58 degrees and no precipitation. The Colts are well-rested and rearing to go. Given all the injuries to the New England defense, especially their secondary, one would think the Colts would win by 10 pts. But this is the Patriots. The Colts are winning a majority of simulations on the road. There are just not enough statistical reasons to think the Patriots can keep up with the Colts offense, especially if the Patriots get off to a slow start, something that they’ve done most of this season. You never pick against the Patriots when everything is on the line, but everything is not on the line this game. This is a big statement game but it’s not a do or die game. Both teams’ playoff position is secure and it looks like home field advantage is going to the Colts no matter what happens.

Average Forecasted Score: Eagles 0 Redskins 0
Teams fought hard last week for the coveted title of “Biggest Disappointment of Week 8.” While getting beat down by 36 is embarrassing with all the emotion surrounding the Giants last week you can understand how a team just gets overwhelmed. The Eagles are supposed to be a Superbowl threat. How does a Superbowl caliber team give up over 550 yds passing and running? How does a team hold Ladainian Tomlinson to nothing and give up 250 yds rushing the next week? Consider Philly the champ for biggest disappointment. That said, they are actually winning a slight majority of simulations on the road. After several notable decimations, it looks like StatShark is giving Philly one more chance to show it is a legit Superbowl threat.

Average Forecasted Score: Steelers 0 Packers 0
As predicted by StatShark, Brett Favre would have no choice but to force passes downfield against Cincinnati and as a result would throw multiple interceptions. He threw 5. Things won’t get any easier against Pittsburgh. Maybe an interesting bet Vegas should take is the odds on whether Favre will actually want to finish this season. Even if the NFC North is weak, how can this team really expect to win with the injuries they have? Is there any chance that Brett Favre would accept a trade to the Ravens for Jamal Lewis? Green Bay gets a RB and can groom Aaron Rodgers. Baltimore gets a QB who could do special things with Derrick Mason and Todd Heap as weapons. C’mon Packers, throw the Ravens a bone. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh should cruise big time at Green Bay. NOTE Graphic Above is based on initial simulations while Game Analysis and Forecasted Data below is updated throughout the week.

Ok I know this is supposed to be about love and dating. But I’ve been around a few bends in my life as I’m sure many of you reading this have. Love and lots of it between the couple, but a straight shot of realism is too often missing. From both sides.

Average Forecasted Score: Ravens 11.3 Steelers 28.4
It’s almost amazing how you can take a great rivalry, NOT significantly change personnel and one year later have one of the most lopsided matches of the season. It gets even worse when you realize that Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are likely out. There is almost no need to even analyze the game — how can the Steelers NOT demolish the Ravens. With no need for analysis, let this StatShark Analyst (someone born and raised in Baltimore) rant at random about the state of the Ravens. First, I think the players actually wear their Superbowl ring, Pro Bowl jewelry, and stuffed wallets during the games. The extra weight from all that gold and cash ends up slowing them down. Coach Billick, please quit. If you don’t quit, at least try to be somewhat amusing. Maybe try showing people how many crabcakes you can shove in that big mouth at one time. Maybe wrestle with your own ego in a pay-per-view special. Jamal Lewis is running like Herschel Walker (in Minnesota). There may be 9 men in the box, but anytime anyone even touches his shoulder or thigh it looks like he’s getting hit by a bullet and just goes down. He also stands straight up in the air, unlike an Edgerrin James or Priest Holmes who run low to the ground and dart through holes, even when there’s not much room. He’s running like a Ballerina dances - with tiny little twinkle toes steps. Where’s the 2000 yd rusher, how did he become Tinkerbell? Since the Ravens do not have a pro offense, let’s run the Wishbone. Put in Kordell Stewart at QB or sign Eric Crouch, who cares. If you’re going to have an undisciplined team and run the wishbone, let’s get Barry Switzer for a coach. Send Todd Heap straight down the field and try to draw at least 1 defender. Instead of 9 men vs. Jamal Lewis, you have 10 men vs. the Wishbone. Sure, we’d still lose every week but it has to be more entertaining to watch then that Bears game. Considering the team didn’t get a single first down in the first half against the weak Tennessee Titans, can the Wishbone really be that bad an option? All Ravens fans should feel justified in criticizing the team. The fact is they are ruining an entire year of sports for some of the most dedicated fans in the league. They are taking 1 year of our lives!!! If I knew this would happen I’d rather smoke, at least you’d get a little high from that. Please check out other games for a more professional take on the NFL.
