NFL Week 9 Preview: Halloween Edition

For the dozen or so of you who visit our site, you might have noticed that each week the games are compared to something else (Guitar Hero, sports movies) in order to, um, gain greater insight into the matchups. This week, we're comparing games to people you may run into on Halloween, in honor of the upcoming holiday. For the full preview, check out the URL. New England Patriots (5-2) at Indianapolis Colts (3-4) Halloween Comparison: The people who give out health food instead of candy Colts! Patriots! Manning! Brady! Hell yeah! Wait...the Colts suck, and Tom Brady has about 1.4 knees right now. What is supposed to be the annual "game of the year" has lost a lot of its edge, and has been getting almost no hype this week. It's the kind of feeling a kid gets when he's all pumped up to go trick-or-treating, and the next-door neighbors stiff him with an Apple or Kashi or whatever other organic BS is passing for food these days. In our "disappointment of the week" game I'm taking Cassel and the Pats, but I could see it going either way; the Colts are desperate for a win right now, and could play their best game of the season. Prediction: Patriots 17, Colts 13 For the rest of the preview check out the URL below.
