NFL Week 3

Vikings look like they’re ready to beat up on SF. Good, sick of hearing all the love for a mediocre 49ers team. Wonder if a blowout loss would affect their stand on Crabtree?

sigh, two sacks in one quarter for the Pack. Rodgers is showing happy feet, which I really can’t blame him. So far so ugly.

Next week: bag over head.

Thank God we’re playing the Rams.

Lions up 10 to 0. A 14-2 season is there for the taking.

The golden boy who could do no wrong. The next Joe Montana. 36 yards, int. Wonder if they can keep it within 20.

From NFL.com:

“Anderson in at QB for CLE”

:wink:

What, seriously? You’re mad at the NFL for not scheduling around your needs?

Can I just say how pissed I am at the NFl’s bizarre blackout rules? I live n New England, the Pats are playing at home, and yet I get the Giants game because for some reason most of Vermont is parts of the Giants market? Fucking crazy.

Also from NFL.com:

“D.Anderson pass short right intended for M.Furrey INTERCEPTED by B.Ayanbadejo at BLT 47. B.Ayanbadejo to BLT 47 for no gain (M.Furrey). Penalty on CLE-J.Thomas, Ineligible Downfield Pass, declined.”

:smiley:

Could someone please explain these predictions that Omniscient posted? I’m coinfused about the numbers posted. Example: Washington 6 DETROIT 38½ … then below that it says The Pick: Lions 30 - Redskins 17. I’m assuming that"the pick" is Omniscient’s prediction, but what are the first numbers?

The favored team is listed first, the number following is the point spread, the last number is the over/under.

Ooooh ok. I’ve never been a gambler. I’ll have to look those terms up so I fully understand. Thanks

Washington 6 DETROIT 38½

This means Washington is favored to win by 6 points. If you take that bet and Washington loses or Washington wins but by less than 6, you lose the bet.

The over/under is the total combined points in the whole game. So, if the final score is 20 to 17, that’s a total of 37 points scored, which is under 38½.

ahem.

Jesus Senor Beef, you’re in for a long year. A combined 4 INT’s now? Yikes.

I’m happy.
I shoulda played Flacco and Mason together. I knew it! :sigh:
At least I have Rice and the Defense.
Why yes, I pretty much drafted my favorite team*.
Actually, I just picked them all up after the draft sans defense. Maybe now people will start to talk about the birds more :smiley:

Why? I could bring back the benchwarmers from my high school team and they could put up a better effort than the Brownies. Maybe when the Ratbirds beat a team that the Lions couldn’t beat you’ll have something there.

Anyway, I don’t get to see the game this week. I need to get to sleep and AFN isn’t showing it anyway, so I’ll be back tomorrow to celebrate or eat crow (most likely the former), talking smack the whole way as usual.

Pittsburgh 23, Cincinnati 10.

IIRC, don’t they make you sign some kind of a special waiver to get into the Air Force if you’re a Steelers fan? Some kind of “mental deficiency” exception? I knew it was like that in the Army.

:smiley:

:09 seconds left. Can the Lions pull out a loss?
