Not just a great day for the NFL, but the exciting wildcard race is going on too. I'm loving the fact that the Birds have a 4pm game. I'll be at my boys house flipping between the 8 early games and the Phils & Astros games too. A whole lotta flippin goin on today.
My bets this week are:
Jacksonville (-4) vs. Denver
Jacksonville (-4) vs. Denver
Seattle (+1.5) @ Washington
Oakland (-3) vs. Dallas
I like that JAX matchup so much that I bet it twice. Once on its own and in the 3-team parlay.
I just noticed your Sig, Phreak. when the hell did Billick say that? haha.
I don't recall but I saw it on one of the Eagle DVDs and Gargano has it in his book. I hate Billick, but that's the smartest thing he's ever said.
I hope Herm and his boy Brooks Bollinger can beat the Ravens today. It'll be great.
man if Bollinger beats the Ravens ill laugh myself into Monday.
So will I.
I think the Jets defense, Vilma in particular, steps up today.
It'll also be interesting to see how the Fighting Belichicks fare today without Harrison & Light.
If they win, I'm afraid of the ball slurpin that King and Co. will do tomorrow.
There will be something like 85,000 fans at an Arizona home game this week.
In Mexico City.

He said that prior to our game last season. Someone asked him something about playing on Halloween, dealing with our fans, Oakland fans with their gay costumes etc.

ahh, is this the game in mexico... forgot about that.
I wonder if the Mexican fans will be trying to lure Brenda Warner into a ring and wave a red flag at her...
How weird will it be that the regular season attendance record will be set at a Cardinals home game? :sly
Definitely needs an asterisk.
That +6.5 Detroit line looked too good to pass up.

Washington has 92,000 seats and they technically sell out.
Joe Horn is not starting today.
But go Brooks Bollinger. Beat stupid Billick.

Gotta disagree with that one. Tampon has been good this year, and the Lions lost to the Bears by more than 30 points.

The Mexico City stadium holds more than 100,000. 85,000 is a conservative guess at how many will be there.

I don't think the Bucs have been that impressive. Minnesota sucks. The Bills have a horrible QB in Losman and they barely beat the winless Packers. The Lions are rested up and comming off a bye week. Don't think they are going to get blown out.
Frank Caliendo's David Letterman skit on the FOX pregame:
Top 10 Ways to Give the NFC North a Chance to Win
10 All players get a B-12 shot from Rafael Palmeiro.
9 Defenses can stop opponents by 2-hand touch.
8 Instead of helmets, Packer opponents wear cheeseheads.
7 Kickers get a mulligan
6 Vikings are allowed to have an actual NFL head coach. :-D
5 New website contest -- correctly spell 'Mariucci'...you get to play QB for the Lions.
4 Schedule is filled with games versus Big East.
3 When you do Lambeau Leap, drunk fans get to call the next play.
2 Bears get to start first drive 20 minutes before kickoff. :-D
1 Detroit gets to use real lions!
Good stuff, but Kimmell was better.
Trotter coming up on Ten Yards with TB....
I'm not sure #9 is going to help too much.
Fargin Plastic-Ho...that sumbitch!! I hate the Gints.
Martz runs a reverse at the Giant's 6 yard line and they fumble and turn it over. The "Mad Genius" is at it again. :-D
Eli Manning is having a career day... 4 passing TDs so far.
Martz is the biggest idiot ever. Who runs trickery in the red zone?
I thought he had a career day last week? The guy blows his nose and the NFL creams it's collective shorts. Give me a break already. ::) The one time they played a decent team they got smoked.
The Chargers are just about done with the mighty Pats. Brady just threw a duck to put a big bow on this one for San Diego.
Saints are about to take a W in the Alamo Dome.
Chargers DB just got booed for running over a cheerleader. Brady is out, they've given up.
Chargers beat the Pats 41-17. :-D
Pathetic Foreskins win. You gotta be fargin kiddin me...3-0? It's a fargin travesty. All those loser fans will think they are actually good and be pimpin their crappy team all week.
Son of a bitch.... this Giants game is so long it'll be the 2nd quarter before FOX joins the Eagles. :boom
They just said that home markets will go to their games...where do u live?

They're like the Giants only without having played a quality team. If Seattle had a defense (funny, people have said that for how many years now) they'd likely have won. Dallas should have lost last week to the 9ers and they only beat San Diego because the Chargers are morons and suspended Gates for week 1.
Cut Woodson!! He just gave up on a play...actually like three of them gave up on a play where they could've pushed Crayton out of bounds and he ends up running for a 63 yd TD. Pathetic!!
Good job on that Jaguars pick :P
Yea I farged up there. And with the Seahawks over the taterskins.
Yes!! Yes!! Farging Cowpukes lose!!!!!! :yay :yay
This time next week it will be 2 in a row

Booing the touchback. :-D
Theres like a billion of em at this game and not one knows anything about football? Did they think they were seeing the Cowboys?

Actually they know more than us. Betting on the NFL is HUUUUGE down there. I bet more than half the people there have money on the game.
SF returns another fumble for a TD. :-D
Jesus...Arizona fargin reeks.
And I bought into the hype too.
I need Fitzgerald & Rackers to score for me, dammit!
The SF offense sucks ass too. Only a matter of time before they put some balls on the ground for Arizona to take to the house.
Reggie Swinton just got blasted...must have had some Sheldon Brown flashbacks. :-D
SF offense has 3 yards.
They lead 14-0. :-D
Come on Larry Fitz & Rackers...help me out, bitches!
The Cardinals really need to put on a better display in Mexico City... they might be moving there permanently soon!
Hochuli is announcing penalties en espanol! :-D
He got booed by some too for his gringo spanish.
Now he's back to english.
Paul Maguire: "You can't let this explosive [Cardinal] offense back in the game."
Watch out for that scary McCown offensive machine.
Good thing Desperate Housewives interupts the game, I cant listen to this hogwashers for 3 hours
Thats 4 weeks in a row where Mcguire said "look at his feet"
4 going on 17.

Oh, no. Tell me you don't watch that.
I'd rather watch the Rhein Fire v. Hamburg Sea Devils than Desperate Chick Show
It's a good show buddy. :-D
I can't wait to read Peter King tomorrow. What will the jerk say about his Pats getting worked over?
Will Clayton call the Chargers heros?
King will probably focus on the Giants and how good Eli was.
They have a moat and a barbed wire fence around the field. That's hilarious.

"This game will be one that the Patriots, when they win their fourth Super Bowl, will look back on as a learning experience."
"They have just so many injuries...they played valiantly regardless and I am damn proud of them"
I've got to say, I felt bad for my poor wife today after the Patriots game.
She's been sick for 10 days with pneumonia- actually spent Sun-Thurs in the hospital.
She had to sit there and watch her favorite football team get totally demolished in the second half by the Chargers.
I didn't have the heart to rub it in her face.
Totally. >:D

Clinton Hart had a 40 yard INT TD. :yay

Technically, Donnie Edwards intercepted the ball, then lateraled to Hart for the score.
Pretty amazing play- it looked almost pre-conceived.
Quote
Roland Williams' injury left the Rams with only one healthy tight end, Jeff Robinson, because tight end and fullback Brandon Manumaleuna was a pregame inactive with a sprained left knee.
-snip-
Martz said the game plan was laden with plays involving two tight ends - plays that had to be scratched when Williams went down.
"I'll never do that again," Martz said. "Once we lost him ... we lost two-thirds of our offense."
Nice, you only have one healthy career backup of a TE and and one part time, faux TE fill-in, and you build 70% of your game-plan around both of them being on the field at the same time.
Genius!!

The Pats will be back. As bad as they looked yesterday, they are still going to be there at the end.

Martz had his press conference today. He said that the Giants are a great team, and will contend for the title (I assume he meant the east, and not the whole NFC). Last night he said that the Giants will win the east.
farger just doesn't get it, does he?
Michaels and Madden are having a ridiculous Favre felacio session. His team is 0-3 and they are losing by 12 and hes still getting verbal head. Sick.
Green Bay 0-4
Everybody's Super Bowl Team 2-2
Team Favre was driving but King Brett made a poor decision in not huddling up before the 4th down. The Next Champs almost blew that game. 32-29 final.
I wanted them to lose, even to the Lord Almighty King Brett. Just funny to see the NFC Champs blow a big home lead to a crap team like Green Bay.
Oh my.
They put Favre AND Delhomo on the horse trailer.
Gay. Incredibly gay.
I was laughing. Oh my god. What a fargin joke. He has to be the first player to ever be on the horse trailer when his team lost. The media being up his ass is so pathetic.
But don't you understand...he's had so much tragedy and tribulation in his life the past three years. It's...well it's just a miracle that he's even still playing the game...i mean with his wife's breat cancer weighing on his mind and...and...and well you know...he is just a hero for the way he still goes out on the field and gives it his all every week. :puke :fire

wtf are you talking about?
I believe that our dear freshman is referring to the fact that Sports Illustrated (and several other experts) picked Carolina to win the NFC this year.
Nobody gets jokes! Yay! That's my favorite thing about this board, if it isn't "you're gay" or "I had sex with your mom" it isn't humorous.
I mean seriously, how often does MDS saying something even a little bit smirk-worthy? And you weirdos can't even wrap our brains around the simplest joke. Ugh.

That's the most PhillyGirl response ever delivered by someone not named PhillyGirl. For shame.
Carolina is not only the NFC Champs but they've already won the Super Bowl which is why I scratch my head wondering why every team continues to play each week. The season has already been decided, so deal with it.
