Woodhead has averaged 12 touches and 68 total yards the past 4 games, plus he has a rushing and receiving TD in that span (for a 50% scoring rate). His team is favored by 4 on the road against my Browns. On top of that, Belicheck will probably look to school his former student, Manweenie.
MIN is favored at home over the Cards (who usually stink on the road) by 8, despite Favre's and Harvin's condition and the Moss loss factor. To me, that smells like a heavy dose of AP, uh... "all day".
Berrian has caught more than 2 balls or broken 24 yards just once each this season, and the game he was over 24 yards, it was just barely, by 6 (30). He's also yet to find the end zone.
Of course, Berrian could revert back to his ways of a few years ago and get behind the coverage for a bomb TD; but I wouldn't count on it. I agree w/ Billy and would expect Shiancoe and Camarillo to dominate targets.
I don't think this call is even close. It's not like Berrian has enough upside to warrant chasing over a likely steady, consistent 10-12 PPG from Woodhead. Oops. I didn't see 9 for 89 coming from Berrian after he'd been so useless all year. I'd put the odds of that at about 20%, tops though. Woodhead delivered 10 points, as expected, w/ about 80% certainty.
Hope you don't lose by 7.
I would almost go Williams. That could be a high scoring game and surely Kitna will start looking his way every one in a while. Harvin has upside here if he plays the entire game.
