1. Brees will throw more interceptions than Rivers. Weddle/Jammer are that much better than Jenkins/Robinson (but Brees will still set the record). 2. Franklin will have more combined sacks/tackles than Bunkley. In the battle of weird free-agent names, Abrayo ranks higher than Brodrick. Or the bird that got away is always greener than the one that’s dead on your lawn. Or something like that. 3. Meach-around will get more yardage than Morgan-Stanley, er Henderson-Morgan. Despite everyone’s attempt to stretch the field, it will still measure 100-yards by the end of the game. |
