Week 6 Prediction Games - If you forgot to pick any of the games, you can always just predict the later ones to get any points you can.  If you miss all of today's you can just pick MNF if you want.

Injuries
49ers: Probable - SS Michael Lewis; Questionable - LB Roderick Green; Doubtful - LB Manny Lawson; Out - CB Shawntae Spencer, OT Jonas Jennings

Eagles: Probable - DE Victor Abiamiri, S Quintin Demps, DE Darren Howard, RB Dan Klecko, QB Donovan McNabb, TE L.J. Smith; Questionable - WR Kevin Curtis, DE Juqua Parker; Out - G Shawn Andrews, S J.R. Reed, RB Brian Westbrook, WR Reggie Brown

Inactives
49ers: QB Jamie Martin, CB Reggie Smith, CB Shawntae Spencer, LB Roderick Green, LB Ahmad Brooks, C Cody Wallace, T Jonas Jennings, LB Manny Lawson.

Eagles: QB A.J. Feeley, S J.R. Reed, RB Brian Westbrook, DE Bryan Smith, G Shawn Andrews, G Mike McGlynn, WR Kevin Curtis, WR Reggie Brown.

And so we reach another important game for the 49ers.  It doesn't get any easier in the coming weeks, so holding serve at home would be huge.  Who cares if it ends up an ugly win...just get a win.

3-2

I hope there’s absolutely no more scoring in the Detroit – Minnesota game. A 3-2 finish would be really awesome.

I am an idiot

In my non-NN fantasy league I have Peyton and Cutler. Peyton has sucked so far. Cutler has been good. On ESPN they have fantasy rankings each week. Everyone said that Cutler was a better play than Manning. Manning has 3 TD passes already. I benched him.

manning

In one of my non-NN leagues I have Manning and Garrard. Sometimes I’m tempted by Garrard but Manning is just too capable of blowing up. Of course I’m 2-3 thanks to his less than stellar performances to date.

I dunno

I’m not sure it can even work that way. I guess you would be betting 1001 after I bet 1000 if you think everyone else was under… at least in terms of the point differential. Or something. I don’t know, we both picked the same point total.

I wish Alex Smith was still the QB

But, it’s for selfish reasons. I live in Utah, and during his tenure as QB they showed almost every Niners game on TV here. Now, I have to watch “good” teams play. I’m sorry, but a bad Niners game is still more fun than a good Cowboys one.

Peckerwoods is beating me 39.3-33.6. I only have 2 guys left today and he has only started 2 guys so far. He got a big day from Clinton Portis and a solid performance from the Jets defense.

That wasn’t alligator arms, but they were right in that he’s gotta fight for that. He short armed one in the end zone against Seattle as well.

according to MM he is
Patrick Willis will indeed be wearing the green dot in today’s game. It’ll be his first game wearing the radio device in his helmet for direct communications from the sideline. Mark Roman, who held the responsibility the first five games, is the backup green-dotter.

Okay, what's the over/under

on the Niners holding the ball for over a minute; or,

the Niners getting two first downs; or,

the Niners scoring a touchdown.

or in the game as a whole? (I think I’m only somewhat kidding on that)
