raiders-fansThe two late afternoon games I’m being treated to are Jets-Raiders and Falcons-Cowboys. Both games are must see, but for different reasons. Matt Ryan and Michael Turner lighting up the board on Jerry’s big TV is alluring in many ways, and being able to watch SidFarkus Russell play the role of quarterback for the second time in two weeks (L 7 – 44) will be awesome.

Buffalo (2-4) @ Carolina (2-3) — Thanks to a humorous barber, Jake Delhomme continues to carry the spirit of Lloyd Christmas. His 4 TDs and 10 picks play host to Ryan Fitzpatrick, who’s averaging 4.6 yards per pass attempt to go along with an interception. Enjoy.

NY Jets (3-3) @ Oakland (2-4) — JaMarcus Russell can throw a football 73 yards while sitting on a toilet. In the complicated world of the NFL, that tidbit of information is about as useful as John Clayton’s sex swing.

Chicago (3-2) @ Cincinnati (4-2) — The Cutler face. Chad Ochocinco de Duffy. Should be a fun one.

Atlanta (4-1) @ Dallas (3-2) — Surprise, Troy Aikman presides. He’ll be wearing a Babe Laufenberg jersey and Thom Brennaman will probably be wearing a Florida Gators nightgown. [Buck is in New York for the ALCS.]

drew-brees-roy-munsonNew Orleans (5-0) @ Miami (2-3) — Expect another big game from Brees. Completely forgot Miami passed on him in favor of Daunte Culpepper back when Saban was there. New coaches, new faces, sure, but Roy Munson never forgets.
