This weeks picks didn't go my way. The Raiders and the Ravens didn't do what I expected.
Quarterback - Tony Romo
Dallas is a good football team. I expected Tony Romo to light up the St. Louis Rams. They have big play potential with their wide receiver Miles Austin and Romo always finds a way to get the ball to Jason Whitten. Romo came through and put up 166 years and two touchdowns in a victory. Don't count Dallas out yet.
The one problem that can stop the Raiders running attack is injury. You expect the Raiders to wear down defenses with McFadden and Bush until they holler uncle. But when injuries happen it can change the complexion of the Raiders offense. Too many turn overs can equal a big fat L.
Green Bay has probably the best quarterback in the NFL in Aaron Rodgers. He delivers the ball with crisp accuracy. You could really pick any of the Green Bay wide outs and not miss a beat. This is one area where it is hard to lose in the quick pick challenge. Just pick a green bay wide out. Any of them and you should be good for the week.
I expected Cam Newton to put up good numbers and get the Carolina Panthers past the Redskins but expected Fred Davis to get some good yardage and maybe a score. He came through and almost got a 100 yard game and a TD. Even with the quarterback switcharoo he can still be a factor if the quarterback can get him the ball.
Didn't see this one coming with the Baltimore Ravens falling to the Jaguars. I was looking for Ray Rice to have a big game and lead the Ravens to a victory. Didn't happen, so no points for me.
