I think your diehard football fans, especially from the northeast, would love to get a snowy superbowl day like the Eagles played in this past Sunday!!

George, where you at? I'll give you the Chargers and 10 points! What, do you want to give me the Discharges and 10 points?! If so, I'll take the Chargers.

It's my turn to be dumb, right?! hmm

Hoo Boy!!!
I get back and sort the pile of newspapers and there on todays fishwrap is Chargers 27, Broncs 20, exclamation point. They beat the wadding out of that spread.
They might just have enough life with some luck to squeak in and they sure are looking like the team we'd hoped for. smile

Re: The NFL - National Football League

And the Bears have confirmed they will start Jay Cutler instead of the guy that's thrown for over 1000 yards in the last three games and is carrying a gaudy QB rating of something like 119.6.

I actually like Cutler and  think this is the best path....love McCown and he has been spectacular considering his history. At 34 (35?), he is not the future of the Bears franchise. Cutler may not be either, but they need to find that out before re-signing him this offseason.

Re: The NFL - National Football League

Whatever I do with Sandy Eggo and Oakland, they always **** me up. Every time. My loathing is increasing by the week....everybody knows RG3 has been benched and that Cousins will start. I still can't pick my team, even against this season's poor Falcons. Very depressing.

WSH@ATL – I can’t, even though Cousins might do something.
CHI@CLE – Bearzz.
HOU@IND – Colts at home.
NE@MIA – Pats will enjoy the sun.
PHI@MIN – Grr, have to pick Iggles.
SEA@NYG – Hawks way too good.
SF@TB – Niners must be too good.
BUF@JAX – A home win!
KC@OAK – Chiefs continue to roll.
NYJ@CAR – Looks a banker.
GB@DAL – Should be un-Romoable.
ARI@TEN – Cards just better…maybe.
NO@STL – Brees & Co should breeze this.
CIN@PIT – Could easily go either way. I’ll take Bengals.
BAL@DET – Nobody gives the Ravens a chance. I do.

Re: The NFL - National Football League

Man am I late dragging buns outta bed today!  These picks are without looking at scores at all, especially since some are probably decided on third quarter, so I can really have some embarrassing ones, and regrettably without comments except in a few cases. 
THU, DEC 12
San Diego at Denver- the ploy was a baiting, George, I was taking San Diego straight up!

SUN, DEC 15
Washington at Atlanta
Chicago at Cleveland
Arizona at Tennessee
Houston at Indianapolis
New Orleans at St. Louis
New England at Miami
Philadelphia at Minnesota
Seattle at NY Giants- if the Giants win this one, I have to say I know dang well they rolled over this year by design
Buffalo at Jacksonville
San Francisco at Tampa Bay
NY Jets at Carolina
Kansas City at Oakland
Green Bay at Dallas
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

MON, DEC 16
Baltimore at Detroit

Man, where's the remote and where's my morning (by all of 3 minutes) coffee???!!! yikes tongue Bah! It's December football, who do I care wins any game! roll

Re: The NFL - National Football League

3rd string running back with only 3 carries for 9 yards EVER going into the game, WOW, Matt Asiatia scores 3 TD's, and the Vikings prove the Eagles are not likely to go far in the playoffs. Vikings beat the Eagles by my favorite strategy- rushing, convert 3rd downs, defense, clean play, minimal turovers, and time of possession...

Re: The NFL - National Football League

It has to be said: The NFC West is the best division.  No team in or out of the division is safe from one of them, predictably or not. 

I have to laugh at the Yocal sportsies discussing Charger playoff and hopes, in the same sentence, as stories.  Fables, but why waste sports chatter on the useless.  Sports chatter is useless enough as it is much too much already.  Better to have video of them appearing and signing for kids.  Lots of it.

Re: The NFL - National Football League

watched all of it, great game by the Fish, Tannehill was impressive for the most part. and who is the new guy in the secondary, Thomas? The ending pick wasn't all that big a deal, it was 4th down. But the tip he had on Brady's corner endzone throw was some amazing coverage. I loved seeing Brady march it down the field one last time, and blowing it ala Romo.

I think the AFC West is a match for the NFC West, and I think everyone is expecting the Super Bowl to be a match-up between teams from those two divisions. Nobody would be shocked to see a Seahawks-Broncos or 49ers-Chiefs game for the ultimate prize...

Would you rather have the Chiefs face the Chargers and Raiders or the Cardinals and Rams (on any given Sunday this year)? neutral Not any of them playoff bound.  Be honest.  I'll be shocked to hear you say Rams and Cardinals.  But then again, you are a Chiefs fan, and their banner is soaring deservedly high this year...

Always been a fan of all 4 AFC West teams, same with the NFC West teams, but the AFC West could take the Super Bowl and I'll still feel the NFC West is better as a division this year. wink Good Luck to the Chiefs this year.  We'll see. big_smile

NE@BAL - Ravens are squeaking into form
CHI@PHI - Must win game for both, toss up

Bolts are on the way to the playoffs with a bit of luck. Ya shoulda checked the line which is 10!  Chiefs are resting the first team for the playoffs so that is a walkover. Fins will bumble again we trust and Ravens will play with clipped wings. So,

Carolina
Falcons will play with wings fully feathered
Da Pack. Bears are going to hibernate early.
Titans
Little horsies will kick up their heels
Jets, Jets, Jets! Phish will phlounder.
Vikes, gotta make the wife happy.
Giants
Steelers, Browns got nuttin.
Broncs in a runaway.
Pats
Saints will be rolling
Zonies in a squeaker
Peaking Boltz  get in and the bookies readjust playoff spreads.
Seahawks. They could be best in the league.
Eagles, lots of flying winners today with one exception.
