Observations and Predictions... Week 4

Last week was a strong week predicting games for me. I went 14-2 with only the Texans and the Steelers letting me down. Dallas and a very safe Romo (mostly handing off) looked good in the second half against the struggling Panthers. The Patriots proved to be too big for the finesse Falcons. Kevin Kolb had another big day passing leading the Eagle past Chiefs. Ravens killed the Browns and in my eyes hold the mantle as the best team in the league. The Bears snuck past the Seahawks with a deep pass to Hester.

Here were the top performers of the week

QB-Peyton Manning: Huge day lighting up those Cards.
WR-DeSean Jackson: Continues to impress. 3 consecutive weeks with TDs over 60 yards.
RB-Maurice Jones Drew: Almost 150 total yards and 3 TDs.
TE-Vernon Davis: Best day as a pro 2 TDs and almost 100 yards in a well played game against the Niners.
DEF-Dallas Cowboys: 7 points allowed to go with 3 sacks, 2 INTs, 1 fumble recovery and one TD.
Special-New England Patriots: Gostkowski's kicking proved the difference.

On to Week 4. My beloved Cowboys travel to Denver, where I expect them to give the Broncos their first loss in what should be a close game. I also expect the Patriots to knock off the Ravens as well. They still have a little championship fight in them. Tennessee finally gets their first win in knocking off the Jags. The Saints attack Lito's replacement in defeating the Jets. The Steelers right the ship at home against the Chargers. On Monday night Brett leads the Vikings over his former squad the Packers.

The rest of the schedule should look like this... Chicago over Detroit (my lock of the week). Cincinnati over the Browns in the battler of Ohio. Colts over the Seahwaks (more throws to Garcon). Giants destroy the Chiefs in KC. Redskins keep the Bucs winless. Texans big over the Raiders. Miami gets the win at home over Buffalo. Niners beat the Rams.

Fantasy Picks of the Week
QB-Jay Cutler: I expect the Bears to throw a lot against a poor pass defense (start Knox, Hester and Olsen if you got em)
WR-Andre Johnson: Raiders defense is a little banged up. Schaub to Johnson should be a recurring tandem.
RB-Cedric Benson: Never thought I would recommend Benson as my pick of the week. He's been great for Cincy, nice matchup against the Browns this week.
TE-Jason Witten: Romo's favorite target should be the target of many passes.
DEF-New York Giants: The potential for a shut out exists here. Cassel better briing his running shoes.
Special Teams-Chicago: Gould's kicks and Hester/Knox returns should be a big part of this game.
