Oddity: Visiting Teams Favored to Win In Week 9

NFL INJURY REPORT HARD TO BELIEVE

NFL - Week 9
$20 Pick Four

Texans (+13) over JAGUARS
Houston is liable to give up massive amounts of rushing yards, but the Jags can't score. Thirteen points is lot to give for a team that hasn't scored more than 30 in years. Also, the Texans also have a mysterious hold on Jacksonville; beating them four times in their brief history.

Panthers (-2) over BUCCANEERS
If the Bucs could be so severely stuffed by the Niners, what will they do against Carolina's defensive line? If Chris Simms doesn't get the ball downfield, RB Cadillac Williams will go nowhere. Really, Tampa should be getting more than two points in this game.

Falcons (-2) over DOLPHINS
The Dolphins haven't allowed 300 yards passing in 37 games, but how long has it been since they allowed 100 yards rushing by the quarterback? Miami's duo of "Ganja" Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown is too inconsistent right now.

Raiders (+5) over CHIEFS
I always get on the Raiders bandwagon a week too late. But, here goes. Randy Moss' injury has allowed the team to find the right mixture of Lamont Jordan and Jerry Porter. Nevertheless, this might be one of those games where the favorite fails to cover the spread.

Last Week: 0-3; Season, 13-13. Lost, ($40.00)

Fantasy Football - Week 9

Team Wonderbread (6-2-0) vs. Bruisin' Contusions (2-6-0)

Depending on your point of view Team Wonderbread is in the midst of a rash of injuries or the victim of the common NFL practice of over-publicizing the correct severity of injured players.

Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Santana Moss and Stephen Davis all missed various days of practice this week. The injuries to Randy Moss and Owens seem to be the most dubious of the four. Moss has played the last two weeks despite reports as late as Saturday night that he wasn't available.

Owens' injury also is hard to read. His injury was not known to the Eagles during last Sunday's game in Denver and may be a part of a new round of artillery fired over his contract situation.

On the trade front, nobody in the FFL Tator Tots league has made a trade offer for either Carson Palmer or Tom Brady. Amazingly, in a league that favors the point totals of quarterbacks, nobody is willing to acquire the number one point-gainer in the entire league.

Lineup: QB Carson Palmer, WR Randy Moss, WR Santana Moss, WR Terrell Owens, RB Rudi Johnson, RB Stephen Davis, TE L.J. Smith, K Rob Bironas, DEF Washington.
