Weekend tips
I hope nobody is depending on a big game from Peyton Manning or the Colts receivers. If you are, I suggest taking a look at Manning’s numbers against the Jaguars earlier this year: 14-for-31 with 219 yards and one touchdown. Although he did bounce back with a nice game, last season against the Jaguars Manning went 13-for-28 with no touchdowns, an interception and a season-low 122 yards. In other words, Manning has completed less than 50 percent of his passes against Jacksonville two out of the last three times he has faced them. Making matters worse, I expect the Jaguars to give Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew the ball all day Sunday which will stretch the clock and give the Colts offense fewer opportunities.
*There is opportunity for some great offensive production in San Francisco. Ahman Green and Frank Gore should both top 100 yards and each quarterback is in position for their best game of the season. Both defenses are weak and that’s also good news for Dave Raymer and Joe Nedney owners.
*Javon Walker owners who were cheering the benching of Jake Plummer are nowhere to be seen now. It will be very interesting to see what Walker does against a good defense (San Diego) Sunday. If he struggles again, you may want to consider benching Walker in the playoffs.
*Another game that should be full of offensive production and fun to watch is the Sunday night game between New Orleans and Dallas. With or without Joe Horn or Marques Colston, I expect the Saints to be throwing deep all night and the Cowboys should have plenty of success running. Once again, I expect another good day for both kickers.
