SLICKRICK

Eagles – Ricky runs rampant. Despite a lacking offense (other than the running game) they continue to win because of a league low 16.3 ppg allowed.



Bengals – Shows how unpredictable Madden is. A very much lacking team with a bad draft compared to the rest of the league = one of the best records in the league.



Steelers – Farve isn’t playing at expected level, relying too much on QB and not enough emphasis on running game and a decent D but definitely underachieved.



Bills – Are a team that drafted incredibly wrong on the defensive side. With a 31 + ppg allowed don’t expect to win that many games. Fortunately he will fair better in our next league and learn from his mistakes.



Texans – Bottom line they own me. They are a very dangerous team but then go ahead and lose to no name teams. Defense is great but underachieves at times and gets burnt for big yardage. With the amount of points that the team puts up there is no reason for such a sub par record.



Jags – Not much you can say. Bets team overall. Good draft and management coupled with a bit of luck ( you only beat me by 3 =p) and you got the top contender in the league.



Raiders – For me they are the surprise of the year. Suspect players but a great overall. I don’t expect this record to continue but you never know.



Tennessee – Sorry Harrington at QB wont’ get it done. With that O-Line you needed more of a power runner like Dillon, Ricky, etc than Portis.



St. Louis – don’t understand the trade for Alstott too much and with no playmakers at the defensive side it may be hard to make it to the big game. Should be happy with the record he has for his team.



Chiefs – Overall pretty solid team. Should have no problem making it to the playoffs if he keeps playing the way he is.



NYG – They are one defensive player away from a much better record. Brady and LaDain are great but with a lacking D its too much pressure.



Seattle – Lint nice D man…. I can’t be mad at you. Expect to see him win the division and make a run.



Lions – good D but lack of playmakers of Offense make it hard to pull away. Lucky to be where he is and can accredit it to the play of his D.



MIAMI – well despite a mediocre O-Line I expect better play from Manning. His awareness is great and there is no reason for him not to get rid of the ball more. He has great receivers in Troy Brown, Rod Smith and Hakim to throw too. Don’t know why Dillon’s stats are so low despite my run oriented offense but I expect a rebound for part two of my season.





Prediction = Seattle over Jags 20-14
