Each week the Pro Football Realist will pick his premiere matchup, a game that he deems to be the top pick of Sunday. There are several intriguing matchups, Brett Favre returning to Lambeau as the enemy, Philly and New York trying to mimic the excitement of the World Series. However, in the spirit of Halloween let’s talk about a game that everyone will agree is so scary and terrifying, it will be hard to watch if the game should happen to appear on your screen: St. Louis at Detroit. On one side you have a team in disarray that has gone 2-25 in their last 27 games fielding a team with virtually no offensive firepower, led by a once great quarterback that nobody wants. On the other side, you have the Lions.
But seriously we are talking about 2 of the worst ever teams going head to head to probably determine the number 1 pick in the draft, although Tennessee and Tampa Bay will have something to say about that. These teams are ranked in the bottom quarter of the league in offensive yards per game, and just in case you wonder if anyone will score they also rank near the bottom of team defense as well. Let’s say you want to throw the stats out the window on this one (and both teams will thank you for it). It also features 2 rookie head coaches with a combined 1-12 career record, a half full Ford Field and virtually no marketable stars or highly valued fantasy players. In other words, this game has it all!
If you dare to tune into this frightening matchup (those in Detroit will not be watching as the game will be blacked out on local television) you will likely see a game marred by turnovers, sloppy play and lack of offensive execution. Expect a lot of flags for false starts, holding and the like while Daunte Culpepper and Marc Bulger battle to see who can look worse throwing the ball to the other team. The announcing team of Ron Pitts and John Lynch will be stifling their laughter searching for positives to discuss. This will easily be the worst game you watch all season, and will not help your upset stomach after all that candy you ate last night. Consider yourself warned.
