Sporting News predictions for all games this week

[PatsWin2002]

Sporting News has analysis and predictions for all games this week.

Here's two:

RIVALRY OF THE WEEK

San Diego at Denver. Few teams can say they have LaDainian Tomlinson's number, but the Broncos do in Denver, where he has rushed for a total of only 212 yards and no TDs in four career games. Where the Chargers have a shot is against Denver's running game, which is undergoing a transition in personnel.

The combination of Tatum Bell and Ron Dayne won't be spectacular, but it will be good enough to open up some nice play-action opportunities for Jake Plummerto exploit the Chargers' secondary downfield with Ashley Lelie. No Champ Bailey will give Drew Brees some chances, but slowing down LT will put San Diego in must-pass situations, when Denver can go into full-attack mode. Broncos 31, Chargers 23.

SHOOTOUT OF THE WEEK

Kansas City at Oakland. See the Chiefs run. See the Raiders pass. See the scoreboard operator get a workout. Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson will gash the Silver and Black, but you can bet Al Davis can't wait to unleash his new flying machine, Randy Moss, on his archrivals. While KC tries to turn this into a grinding road race, Oakland will pick up the pace in track-meet style. Sunday prime-time fun for the whole family, unless mother-in-law likes the Chiefs and daughter-in-law likes the Raiders. Raiders 37, Chiefs 34.

WE NEED FIRE IN THE BELLIES OF THE DENVER BRONCOS THIS WEEK.

otherwise, its gonna be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong season.

[elsid13]

This is the kiss of Death. 0-2 here we come.

[GreatBronco16]

I'd be thrilled to score 30+ points, but I just don't see it happening.

[Bronco LB 59]

Until somebody comes up with a 100% success rate, I couldn't care less about a pregame prediction.

Last Sunday, the Los Angeles Times picked Denver over Miami as the "lock of the week".

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the lock of the week, I can't say I have ever watched a Donk game where they came out as flat and actually got worse as the day went on.

Maybe Saban actually has something down there in Miami, they will be much better when the Pothead gets off his suspension.

Dude, as much as I hate the raiders, that is a funnyass avatar! :stupid:

Yeah, but the Pats will still finish 8-8 right? :)

[Bronco LB 59]

I never thought I would see a Raider fan use the term "pothead" to clown on another player.

Well I had Bucky in that avatar but alot of pouting took place so to keep peace I changed it to Plummer because I know yall hate him this week and won't be whining about it.

Now if Plummer has a 300 yard game next week, they will be out in groves for me to change my avatar or be banned again :)

Nah, I am pretty sure I am one of the few here who actually likes Plummer. Yeah he's inconsistent, but he's better than the last douchebag we had in there (SOB).

[Raiders Rock]

Haven't smoked any weed in like 15+ years, but I don't think it's any worse than alcohol

As far as Moss is concerned, I don't care what he does as long as he catches that ball

Just put Trint back there, and you'll never have a problem. Beside it not like the KC fan base haven't seen something like that before.

[Raiders Rock]

Personally, I thought SOB would be a Donk for a long time....

I thought he was a real good qb for your team

I am working on a trINT avatar

Its all in fun, I don't take stuff too serious on a messageboard, I am just here to have fun, take my digs and dish em to those who can take it.

He reminds me a lot of Kerry Collins as a matter of fact. _i_O_i_

[Raiders Rock]

To be honest, Plummer is basically a Kerry Collins with a weaker arm that scrambles better.

Neither are much to brag about to be honest and both teams will be needing one soon.

Anybody know much about our 3rd string QB? Walter

that's who I was talking about, sorry, I should have clarified.

[ludo21]

I like Walter, too bad hes a raider. Im an ASU fan, so wathcing him break all of Plummers records was fun to watch.

Too bad hes a Raider (Had to say twice caz im that upset)

[Boogerboots]

Dude, as much as I hate the raiders, that is a funnyass avatar! :stupid:

Yeah, but i don't think that Tom Nalen would like to be depicted as a sheep wearing a thong. :nono:

[OrangeShadow]

i knew i liked sporting news. They are usally pretty credible

Think he is NFL QB material or a career backup?

[footstepsfrom#27]

This is the make-or-break game. Win and we're in good shape. Lose and it's going to be a huge up hill climb. We find out what they're made of this Sunday.

I suppose I should have some sympathy for your handicap. You are obviously paralyzed from the neck up and its disturbing. Rumor has it that you are almost incomprehensible in person (as revealed by your desperate urge to babble nonsensically on message boards.) No doubt, this rumor is true.

[TheReverend]

That is the funniest avatar I've seen in a long time. It really looks like his arm is all the way up there.
