The Root of the Week XIII

In this, the Week of Marino, one conclusion can be reached in sorting through the pithy commentary lobbed by the surviving participants as they submit their picks: no one is confident in their selection.



And yet, equally true is the fact that no one can look away.

We enter the home stretch of games, just a fist left before playoffs--which would be an absolute catastrophe if we got there, since everyone has thrown all playoff caution and strategy to the wind in hopes of survival.

This week, the action spreads around once again: the Cowboys, 49ers, Patriots, Broncos, and Bears. Additionally the magnificent El Doctor continues to ride his streak of default picks, now as actual official strategy instead of absentminded lethargy. It should be noted that this week his default pick is not Jacksonville, having used them already once this season. He therefore rides the Chargers on the road, which has been the downfall of so many over the years.

Will it be another "open the gates" week or our third round of utter devastation? Watch, if you dare.

That is all.
