The games for late afternoon are repeat matchups from early in the season. NY squeezed out a win against New England the last time. Kind of an ugly win but they pulled it off. Denver was proving themselves against doubters and won the SD game. Let's see if this will be a win for our favorite team. NY Jets @ New England Patriots I'm going with the Jets again as the Polynesian connection is really doing well in NY. Lots of coverage in the last few weeks on NY Jets Sione Pouha. He's continuing to develop his game and at times is inconsistent but in time I believe he'll get better.

New England Patriots - *#47 Jake Ingram

New York Jets - #78 Wayne Hunter, #91 Sione Pouha & #79 Ropati Pitoitua
Game on: 11:00 AM HST (KGMB7) San Diego Chargers @ Denver Broncos This one will be a "who-you-want-to-win" for islanders in the Pacific Northwest. Although, my choice would be the Chargers. SD has the advantage with their late season momentum. Although SD beat one of my favorite teams last week, the Eagles, Denver has no island players!! So I say, Go Chargers!!

San Diego Chargers - #86 Brandon Manumaleuna

Game on: Portland 1:00 PM PDT (KOIN6) Seattle 1:00 PM PDT (KIRO7)

Byes: None

This will hopefully be a redemption game for Hawai’i Warrior, Colt Brennan, who had an awful outing in the Redskins last game. He’ll meetup with his old Warrior teammate, Jake Ingram, who has official duties as the longsnapper for the Patriots. Fellow Polynesian, Mike Sellers, is slated to play but still nursing a previous knee injury. Mike will be a gametime decision.

Unfortunately, we lost DT Vaka Manupuna (Colorado) who had been put on waiver by the Redskins in early August.

Let’s hope the remaining players get some playing time. Especially, Colt Brennan, who is contending for the 2nd or 3rd backup quarterback position. IMUA to all the players!!!
