Well, it's not often a blind squirrel finds a nut - but ole DLT found himself 2-0 in his upset specials thanks to big wins by the Washington football team with a racial slur for a name and Cleveland.
But as our beloved Buccaroonies look to get off "O" this week against the Miami Vices, I like to consider the possibilities that this could be a week of upsets.
So, here we go!
Last Week: 9-4 69% Upset Specials: 2-0 100%
Season: 88-47 65% Upset Specials: 8-8 50%
Byes This Week: Browns, Chiefs, Patriots, Jets
Thursday Night
Redskins 30, Vikings 10 - Another brutal TNF game. I'd rather watch Honey Boo Boo than this horror show.
Sunday
Seahawks 30, Falcons 20 - I almost went with my rule of west coast coming east in this one but the Flukins are in such disarray and I think the Seahags have had their wakeup call the last couple weeks against the Scams and the Yucks.
Lions 23, Bears 20 - DABEARS got a big break when Aaron Rodgers went down, allowing them to pull out a win they had no business getting and destroying the hopes of fantasy football league owners throughout the country. How will my team, the Supreme Daleks, recover? I signed Mike Glennon. Yeah, it's that bad.
Upset Special #1: Eagles 30, Packers 10 - Injuries have finally caught up with the Meat Packers. Meanwhile, Foles has finally proven he can destroy a team not in West Central Florida.
Titans 30, Jaguars 2 - Is THIS the week the Jags get win number one? No.
Colts 30, Rams 13 - The Scams are a mess right now. Colts feast on the weak. That sounded weird, didn't it?
Giants 20, Raiders 6 - Let's see would I rather watch this disaster of a game or be forced to read Ravished by the Triceratops(yes, its really a thing - the link may be a little NSFW)? Decisions....decisions...I'll take waterboarding for $200, Alex.
Steelers 20, Bills 10 - A Mike Tomlin coached team can't possibly fall to 2-7 right? I mean the Raiders have more wins right now.
Bengals 30, Ravens 20 - The Bengals have had a lot of time to stew over losing to the Miami Vices. When will Baltimore win again? Quoteth the Raven - Nevermore!
Upset Special #2: Panthers 27, 49ers 17 - Yes, I am drinking the Panther kool-aid (ooh that sounded gross). Plus I think that defense is going to give Kap fits. It's a long trip but it will be worth it for Carolina.
Cardinals 20, Texans 16 - Hope Gary Kubiak gets well. Unfortunately his team won't.
Broncos 30, Chargers 17 - Also get well wishes to John Fox. Peyton's got this.
Sunday Night
Saints 36, Cowboys 26 - Never pick against New Orleans in a home nationally televised game.
Monday Night
Upset Special #3: Buccaneers 24, Dolphins 13 - Yep, I'm doing it. I think the Bucs come out on Monday Night Football and bully the Dolphins. Yeah, I know...it was bad. But we win, DAMMIT!
