Week 8 jetsjetsjets' Crystal Ball Quickie

I wanted to get this week's edition of the Crystal Ball in before another crazy/busy weekend gets in full gear.  Last week was a solid performance as all of our Game Predictions came true.  We are now 5-2 in Upsets of the Week...which is pretty impressive indeed.

Now let's get to the picks...

Game of the Week:  Monday Night -- San Fran 23  Arizona 20 -- the 49ers take control of the NFC West.  (YTD Record - 4-3)

Lock of the Week:  Green Bay 38  Jacksonville 13 -- the Packers are hitting their stride & the Jags are a mess. (YTD Record - 5-2)

Upset of the Week:  Miami 20 NY Jets 17 -- Miami coming off a bye & playing solid football.  The Jets coming off a heartbreaking loss to New England.  I believe the 2 1/2 pt underdog Dolphins get it done on the road.

Fantasy Stud of the Week:  Peyton Manning (against a bad Saints D)
Fantasy Dud of the Week:  RGIII  (just a feeling that Pittsburgh shuts him down this week)
Fantasy Sleeper of the Week:  Reggie Bush...has a good recent history vs. the Jets

Enjoy the games everyone!

  1. Agree with everything you picked except RGIII. I actually mention Manning as the stud of the week in my post.

    Enjoy the weekend!

  2. Thanks for the comments.

    I got most of these right this week...Reggie Bush didn't do as well as I expected. RGIII was indeed a bust by his standards. For some reason, I thought the Steelers would give him trouble...maybe it was those ugly uniforms. :)

    My Upset Picks are now 6-2...not too shabby.

    We'll see if the 49ers get it done tonight...
