I know I said that I was not going to talk anymore until the game, but I must respnd to this laughable ****.
As if Dr. Z is the final word on everything.
Does anyone remember this from his week 9 column?
I do.
Check this idiot out:
Teams that played in an overtime game haven't done well the week after. Their record is 4-15, not counting games against opponents who were also coming back from OT. Fatigue, mental strain, typical letdown -- any of them could be contributing factors, or maybe all of them. Two teams have come back from overtime games to play an opponent coming off its bye -- the Browns, who against the Steelers went into overtime again before losing, and the Titans, who got clobbered 52-25 by the Raiders.
These are the statistical handicaps Oakland faces when it plays in Denver on Monday night. What's worse is the nature of the Raiders' overtime loss to San Francisco on Sunday. Their defense was worn down after the 49ers ran off the last 30 plays in the game. How long the effects of the fatigue will last, especially against the rested Broncos, who are coming off their bye week, remains to be seen.
Here are some more bad statistics for Oakland fans. In his seven years as Denver coach, Mike Shanahan has made the game against the Raiders, who fired him once upon a time, a personal crusade. He has never lost at home in seven meetings.
This, of course, will all be well-documented during the week, and the Broncos will read it. If they take it too seriously, they could lose some of their edge. I'm groping here. I'm trying to find a way the Raiders can squeeze out a victory. But I don't think they're going to stop Denver, not with the way their secondary looked against San Francisco. Cornerback Charles Woodson, coming back from a broken right shoulder, struggled. The Broncos will put him to the test, and they'll put up points. Defensively, I think Denver will use a minimum of nickel and dime coverages against Oakland's three-wide package. The Broncos' linebackers are quick enough to lock onto the short crossing routes, and they're better equipped than defensive backs to inflict punishment. Denver's the pick.
Gee, I guess Dr. Z always knows exactly what he's talking about and everything that he predicts always comes to pass.
Anyone who interprets what this guy says as the last word is a ****ing dip****.
Period.
This is the same guy who picked the Dolphins, Patriots, Bears and his pick to win it all, THE RAMS to make the playoffs this year.
He picked THE RAMS TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL!!!
Does anyone take this clown seriously?
LMFAO.
