Scoop will be extra generous with the sugar cubes if he wants to get back into the good graces of the talking horses who help him in the pick 'em game. He had a rough week, going 4-10 overall with an 0 for 1 in the best bet department. Rowdy made a move with a 9-5 overall and 3-1 best bet performance. Bones now leads after a 6-8 overall, 3-2 best bet weekend. The totals now read Bones 79-65, Scoop 78-66, Rowdy 75-69, and Bones 25-20, Rowdy 30-24, Scoop 13-13.
Looking ahead, I see that week eleven looks like the first round in some mega-playoff tournament. Only one game features two teams with records better than .500: 7-2 Atlanta will play in 5-4 New York, where the Giants, evidently suffering from Big Ben envy, look for their own lightning-in-a-bottle from Eli Manning. Good luck with that, Tom Coughlin. Elsewhere, the better teams in the league are playing lower seeds. The 8-1 Steelers go to Cincinnati to play the 4-5 Bengals. The 8-1 Eagles host the 3-6 Redskins. The 8-1 Patriots travel to Arrowhead to face the 3-6 Chiefs. It's a whole day of such games, and there aren't many division matchups so many of them have a weird novelty. San Francisco at Tampa Bay. Miami at Seattle. Arizona at Carolina. Should be fun. Maybe. Or maybe not. We'll see.
The Bengals will challenge the Steelers, who were not challenged last week by the truly weak Cleveland team. Pittsburgh at Cincinnati may be one of the best-played games of the weekend, too, as both teams are executing and riding win streaks.
