Three games tomorrow! Let’s see, pick of the week…you’re looking at that Browns line and going, “they’re favored?” Yep, Flacco’s out, Schaub’s in. Manziel has been given a desk in the basement of the warehouse, where hopefully everyone will forget about his existence. Give 'em the points! Browns to cover. The Carolina line looks out of whack, too, I don’t care of Tony Romo \*is \*back. ---

I think he Lions make it a three game winning streak tomorrow against the Iggles. Chip Kelly seems like he’s lost that team, and the Lions are all playing for the opportunity to still have a paycheck next year. ---

Patriots roll to 11-0. No. 1 AFC Seed is in their hands by Week 14. AFC goes through Foxboro. ---

The Eagles don’t want to play for this schmuck anymore. The schmuck keeps insisting his system works. Here’s hoping his “system” requires him quitting tomorrow. ---

Is it too late to call the color rush uniforms a terrible idea? ---

> [@Ike\_Witt](#): > > Is it too late to call the color rush uniforms a terrible idea? I really wonder how many fans buy all these silly alternate jerseys. I can kinda see it for hockey, since it’s a longer season and the jerseys are a bit more colorful. I don’t know many NFL fans who have a large collection of jerseys. Of course, I could be wrong and there might plenty of diehard fans snatching up each new jersey. ---

Does he pull a Bobby Petrino? That had to be the most classless thing I’ve seen from an NFL/major college coach. Unfortunately, if Kelly quits tomorrow, he’ll have a major college job immediately. ---

Romo is back alright. Back to throwing interceptions… In other news, as great as JJ Watt is, Luke Kuechly is the best defensive player in the NFL. ---

A few weeks ago I thought at least the Eagles defense was decent. Guess not. ---

Bears beat the Packers at Lambeau during Favre’s number retiring ceremony, as ten point underdogs. Best Thanksgiving ever. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > That was a great game. I was sure Rogers was going to pull out the win in the last minute. Glad he didn’t. I am annoyed they the Bears just tried to run 3 times the drive before. Yes, an incompletion would’ve stopped the clock, but there isn’t a huge difference between 3 minutes with no timeouts and 3 minutes with one timeout when you’re playing against Aaron Rogers. ---

Skins up 17-0 which looks like they will be 5-6 and then 6-6 since they playing the Romoless Cowboys next week Tampa Bay looks like a scary matchup for any team in the first round Atlanta looks to be a Joke Bills look ready for a playoff push Houston look ready for a playoff push Dolphins stink Rams stink ---

Not that you’d expect them to win anything, but still. But you know they are losing to the Pats next week and the Cardinals 2 weeks after that. I’m not sure about the Bills. So they should be 5-9 in 3 weeks. ---
