Week 15: Guru, Chief & Co. Head To Battle My friends, the Guru is home in the Midwest with Chief Redskin, preparing to visit Indianapolis Sunday. The whole world loves the Colts in this ballgame but, in a huge surprise, I think the Mighties will get a big win to cement their stronghold on the NFC East. Two keys will be Washington's ability to run the ball and its ability to contain the Colts' Edgerrin James but the biggest factor of all is this: the Guru and the one who sired him, the Chief, are 7-0 all-time on the road, including a 1994 win vs Indy. Over the years, the Chief and I have experienced big victories in other cities, such as St. Louis and New York, trips which involved the old fella calling his trusty sports bar to let the establishment know that someone could use his stool for a day. The Chief and the Guru will be accompanied by my sister, Miss Sixpoints, and the incomparable Mother Guru, the fine lady who allowed yours truly to read the sports section while being breast fed as a youngster. Prognosticators, bear in mind that the presence of Miss Sixpoints is generally worth six big points to the Mighties. Elsewhere, I like KC over Pittsburgh, Carolina over San Fran, Miami against San Diego, Chicago against Detroit, Philly in an upset against New England and the Rams over the Giants. Other winners: Baltimore over New Orleans, Jacksonville at Cleveland, Tampa at Oakland, the New York Jets against Dallas, Denver over Seattle, Tennessee vs the Falcons, Minnesota over the Packers and Arizona against Buffalo. This Dallas pick may be shocking but remember that the Jets have played very well in four of the past five weeks and the ailing Cowboys have been anything but consistent. As much as it hurts me, Dallas loses. Apologies for the abbreviated version but look for more soon as we head into the final two weeks of the 1999 campaign. Have a different opinion?
