Ten & Six With Mike Otto - Week 4 (Thursday Bonus!)

Hmmmmm... Hot shit?

Well hello again, football fans!  Welcome to Ten & Six's Week 4 kickoff!

This Vikings season may be in the early stages of a brutal, season-long shame spiral, but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy a little football.  Week 4 is upon us and Mikey was kind enough to take a break from cursing AJ Jefferson long enough to give us his pick for tonight's NFC West battle between the San Francisco 49ers & the St. Louis Rams.

Who do ya like, Michael?

San Francisco (1-2) at St. Louis (1-2)

The Niners are reeling. A loss in St. Louis will put them in uncharted waters of the Colin Kaepernick Era. Kaepernick has looked like a fish out of water in the pocket the last 2 weeks. He looks like a beached carp desperately flopping around for water- or a completion.

Don't lose to Sam Bradford, Kaepernick. That's the universal sign of complete failure for an NFL QB. Wait... maybe that's losing to the Browns third string QB. Fuck. Niners bounce back with a win.

Final Score:

San Francisco: 24

St. Louis: 20

There you have it, football fans! A big win for the Niners to jump start Week 4!

The Vikings are in London, England this week looking to jump start their own season against the Pittsburgh Steelers.  As always, be sure to stop right back here on Saturday for Mikey's breakdown of that game plus his picks for the rest of the league's slate of games.

Ten & Six With Mike Otto: Week 7 (Thursday Bonus!)

Well hello again, football fans!  Welcome to Ten & Six: Week 7 (Special Thursday Bonus!)

For those of you who haven't been following along, Mike Otto  is a diehard Vikings fan and our resident football expert.  Each week, in his Saturday Ten & Six column, Mike breaks down the upcoming Vikings game.  He also makes his picks for the rest of the league.  Since the NFL has decided to have a Thursday game each week this season we've had to adjust our schedule accordingly.

Mike's been making his predictions for these Thursday games over on our Facebook page.  However, since the column has been such a hit we decided to make a full post of his Thursday pick.

So, without further ado, here we go:

Seattle (4-2) at San Francisco (4-2)

Tonight's game should be a great one and a surprise battle for 1st place in the tightly-contested NFC West. At this point only one game separates the king of the mountain and the cellar dweller. If you ask me about the NFC West, it seems Rams DE Chris Long should always be kept in a cellar and fed a bucket of fish heads each day. CAVEMAN HUNGRY, NEED FOOD, IMPRESS CAVEMAN DAD HOWIE.

Anyway, I like Seattle's chances to keep this game close, which is a safe bet, because they have kept every game close this year (and I'm all about taking risks, people). Much like Alex Smith was all about taking risks in the Niners trouncing last Sunday. Terrible, terrible risks. Stop playing the game of "Risk," Alex Smith, and stick to "Stratego," seems more your style. Face it, you're never gonna take over the world, and if you want to take over New Orleans come February it's time to stop sucking.

All in all I think the Niners bounce back with a 20-16 victory.

Boom!  Niners with the win and sole possession of first place for at least 10 days since the Cardinals are going to be thrashed this weekend at the Metrodome.

For more of Mr. Otto's commentary, be sure to give him a follow on Twitter (@SwervinTaters).  Trust us, he goes off on Sundays.

Mike will be back with the rest of his predictions this Saturday along with his preview of the Vikings/Cardinals game.  Be sure to check back.
