Ravens over Bucs
Texans over Titans
Chiefs over Seahawks
Dolphins over Raiders
Broncos over Rams

And I’m giving myself pick-ups for the Thanksgiving day games. Take it with the pound of salt, as always, and if you’re betting money consider the polar opposite of all these selections.
I do feel better that many of my choices agree with JeffG’s.
Football sundae? Can I get that with non-dairy whipped topping and organic free-range chopped walnuts?

*Fisher has a meeting tomorrow with Bud (Got Aricept?) Adams RE: his future. Fish can’t stand Vince (#6 Wonderlic) Young, never could; Adams wanted VY as a pawn in the forever-I-hates-Houston game he’s playing. Adams thinks VY is still worthwhile as, say, a Rook. Fish knows he’s a crybaby pawn with yellow diapers who is not a Leader of Men. If Tennessee loses to Houston by over 24 points, then he’s sacrificed the game to anger Adams so’s he can move along. But Rusty might surprise: what other Florida Atlantic player has ever played in the NFL? None. So he’s motivated. And so is the rest of the team: OC Heimerdinger, diagnosed this week with cancer, starts his chemo tomorrow, so this is his last game calling the offense. Houston 38 TN 9
NE, NO and Jets, all in the can. Going forward, Atlanta, Pitssburgh, Cleveland, Giants, Washington, Houston, Chiefs, Oakland, Denver, Philly, Baltimore, Indy and San Fran.

Don’t bet against the Colts today. Their record is crazy good coming off a loss with a prime time home game. This tip was free.
Atlanta hosting Green Bay is an excellent battle so far.
– SD is a 2nd half of the season team. Just the way we roll.
PW-ers should stay off any Redskins bandwagon re: the Vikes.
Forget Minnesoooooooota’s turmoil–when healthy, th ‘skins O and D suck. And they ain’t healthy.
Cordially…
How about some love for them Birds, y’all? Great game.
– Atlanta did good.
– And the Raiders just scored a TD run on the opening kickoff against the Floridians.
If Chicago and Green Bay lose almost every game from now on, the Vikings… still won’t be able to go anywhere. At least they won today, for a change.
It’s official. The Broncos’ defense is the worst I’ve ever seen.
Fire everyone. I don’t much care anymore.
I sure hope you folks took my advise and bet on the Colts.
I wonder what the over/under line on this game was.
Never mind, it was 50. Shoulda took the over…
We could easily be down by 14+ right now.
If I ever met Collinsworth, I would kick him in the teeth. Wayne has the drops recently.
Bad bad bad no call on the pick 6, but we are playing like crap, so it really does not matter.
I believe that was the first touchdown scored by the Chargers offense in this game.
Yes, it was. Fuckers.
This is remarkable. We cannot do anything. Reggie cannot catch tonight. Pick 6 twice. Unnecessary fumble. Cannot block. Cannot run. The Bolts own us.
Tell me about it.
– Rivers had an off night.
The Chargers are my home-town team, and for a good portion of my life there they were not very good, so it’s nice that they’ve had a decent team for a while now. On the other hand, the Colts are just falling apart here and I don’t know why.
I really like Sproles. I like it when there’s a player who on paper just shouldn’t be able to play the game and excel, and yet there he is. I think he’s so comparatively small that he just slips past a lot of those guys.
Who is leading the NFL in passing?
That’s right: Kyle Orton, the guy Denver “fans” want to see benched in favor of Tim Tebow. 3370 yards. On pace for nearly 5000 yards. 20 TDs and 6 picks. A rating of over 96. And he’s done it with the worst rushing attack in the NFL.
Like it’s his fault the Broncos aren’t winning…
I don’t think I’ve seen more than one Denver game, but stats like that mean the defense is not showing up. That is a great QB record for any quarterback.
I meant this year, of course.
Yeah, he did. Me too. I was 8-1 just a few hours ago.
I remember Dan Fouts and “Air Coryell”.
=^D
Orton’s the only reason to watch them, sadly.
Sure, the did okay with Air Coryell, but Fouts couldn’t run to save his life, and they obviously didn’t have a running game either. You cannot win the playoffs without a running game.
Eh, I didn’t even watch much back then, and I probably don’t know what I’m talking about. Whatevs. Pay me no mind. I’m tired, though not from drink this time.
Stan Humphries was the man. Until he ran into Steve Young.
True, Humphries took them to the Super Bowl one year, where they choked like something that really chokes. I guess you were referring to that game. We all knew they were going to lose, but we didn’t think it would be by that much. “They’ll beat the spread,” we all kidded ourselves.
Good times.
Yeah, like the Padres in the World Series. Lots of fun, very little payoff.
– Yes, that one play was a bad call, but hell, we’ve had so many bad calls go against us over the years I’ve lost count.
For that, the blame lies with the skinflint ownership at the time. They were infamously stingy, and a top flight running back earned big bucks even then. As did pass rushers for that matter: I like this bit from Fred Dean,
Regardless of his limited playoff success, I think it is criminal negligence on the part of the NFL that Don Coryell is not in the Hall of Fame. The man invented the modern offence, fercryinoutloud.
It’s also criminal that Rogie Vachon is not the NHL Hall of Fame, but Coryell’s case is more egregious.
The Seahawks blow goats.
Da Bears won?
God indeed has a sense of humor, and it is dark.
