Every
Week! |
|
Welcome! Each week, Reid's Weekly casts a humorous, yet
critical eye on this week's pro football matchups. Here you'll find many informative, entertaining insights as to why we think the winners will win, and the losers will lose. What you will not find is nudity, obscenity, nor hate messages of any kind. No, just the hows and whys of what you really want to know: Who's gonna win? |
|
Reid's Weekly (RW) uses a time-tested, results driven
approach to our analyses and conclusions. We do not use traditional "power rankings", other people's opinions (including sports publications), or the Vegas "Line". Rather, we approach each contest from a more traditional, pragmatic perspective. RW looks carefully at, among other things, team discipline, leadership, concentration, and which players are more likely to knock the stuffing out of the guys on the other side of the line. After five years picking winners on the Internet, we are most pleased with our results. We know you will be, too. |

Raiders-TITANS: Could be big for Tenn QB
McNair, who plays for a team that knows how to pass block. The Oaks get it done on the ground, and with WR Tim Brown getting respect, they'll get it done again. Oaks pull the upset in Tennessee. PS- With Tenns' Thigpen out, golden opportunity for Raiders to rejuvinate their pass rush. |
|
DALL-Phil: Eagles have shown some spunk,
but don't have the talent up front. Philly will run it up the middle, to keep the ball out of Aikman's hands, but it won't work. Problem here is Eags' fumble-itis, and the pass is no relief either, with various Philly QB's hitting the turf 43 times this year. Look for Aikman to have a big day, even without Irvin, as Cowboys move up in NFC East. |
|
CHIEFS-Vikes: Chiefs try to keep up with
the Seahawks, while Vikes scratch and claw in logjammed Central. K.C.'s plan is to run up the middle, an area reaping big rewards this year. Vikes should throw, throw, throw, and why not? K.C. is prone to giving up the big play, and Reid sees QB George moving the chains all day long. Minnesota stalks Lions for lead in NFC Polar, beats Chiefs on the road. |
|
HAWKS-Bolts: Without Means & Seau,
Chargers don't have the punch. But SanD's big problem is run blocking, which translates into Seattle having the ball most of the time. With improved pass blocking, and, frankly, better coaching, look for Holmgren's Hawks to win at home. PS- Reid sez CoffeeTown drafts high for a running back next year. |
|
Rams-SAINTS: Ricky Williams or no Ricky
Williams, you have to wonder if New Orleans has packed it in. Besides, the way RB Marshall Faulk has been playing, especially on the rug, the Rams can control the ball, the clock, and the game. Rams win. PS- St. Louis is averaging 33 pts. per game and is converting almost half their 3rd downs. |
|
Balt-PITT: Steeler D has been carrying the
load for two years, but the real load falls on QB Tomzak, who's trying to revive a pathetic offense. Raves' main goal in this is to control Pitt's run, and pretend they know how to pass block. Look for Balt to throw it deep for the upset win at Three Rivers. PS- Stat nerds tell Reid Ravs have best rush defense in AFC. Who knew? |
|
Cards-D.C.: Very big for both. Arizona still
thinking playoffs, while Washis aim to lead NFC East. Problem for Cards is weak running game. Too many 3 & punts gives D.C. too many opportunities to score. The point here is Wash has almost 1500 yds in the air this year, and RedBird Pro Bowl CB Williams can't hold back that dambust, especially with Wash's excellent pass protection. D.C. wins in AZ. |
