American Football

Panthers got lit up by the Saints offense just like the Giants did, but the key is if local boy Olsen plays or not. Giants will have a big shot if he is out. I mean who scares you on the Carolina Offense other than Cam if that big TE is out? Ginn? He drops as many as he catches. Really cannot understand how this team is 13-0. The starting RB is Stewart right?

Must acknowledge my sad disappointment that none of you are up for the college bowl pool. maybe next year. We could have argued for the next 3 weeks...

Stewart is out now for CAR too...some guy named Fozzy Bear is running the ball or something. Giants have a big chance.
Sidebar: 3 first place teams have a QB starting this week that made 0 starts last year...Broncos, Bengals and Eagles. First time that has ever happened this late.

Holy War today. Byu vs Utah. All players are married already. First game was in 1893.

Some game this! 35-0 to 35-28 still 3 plus mins left. You always get these mental games during bowl season

The second half curse continues for us.

I assume you on about Denver?

The giants - carolina was great but Cam pull it out of the fire - was great to watch. I cant believe it but the Redskins are 7-7 - i know they not a great team but are a hell alot better than they have being over the last number of years and no crap coming out of the organisation this year - what have they done with RGIII - taped his mouth!

But it must be mad for teams like the Jets that are 9-5 and not in the playoffs - to see Houston and Redskins in it - so far ....

The Jets best shot is winning out, KC winning out, and DEN losing this week...Steelers win out...so KC wins the Div, and Steelers and Jets are wild cards. Jets owning the tie break over DEN...DEN would be out. Osweiler got hurt yesterday too...and with Peytons foot acting up again...DEN is in trouble.

More injuries for the Pats with Chung and Amendola again. I think the Jets can beat them.

People are going crazy about Beckham yesterday...I dunno. He is suspended. The Giants need an overhaul. Will be interesting what they do.

How about Buffalo? they kill the Jets twice last year with RR coaching NYJ. So then they see fit to give him a freaking 5 yr deal. they had 57 sacks or there abouts last season and they have like 18 now, with players complaining. Hard to see Rex being there much longer except his deal makes him kinda unfireable. Stupid.

Whatever happens next week there is no way Denver will lose to San Diego surely?

No but they could lose to Cincy....that's my point. Jets beat NE, (Hightower another walking wounded now for Pats) and Cincy plays well enough in Denver to eek one out?

So...this Beckham thing. This has taken a bad turn. What's happening is it SEEMS like he is of a certain persuasion every normal human being has no problem with, since its you know, 2016, but the NFL is a different culture and so of course that's what started his behavior, Panthers players mocking him. This could blow up on feckless Goodell if he doesn't stay in front of it. ESP if some audio appears of what they were saying to him to get him all crazy.

On a lighter note, I figured out the perfect place for Peyton Manning to go next year. DEN doesn't want him to play again this year bc they don't want to switch the offense back from where it is now. He is going to try to practice tmrw and Osweiler says his shoulder is OK. So let's assume Peyton is healthy enough to play next year and the foot thing isn't chronic and he has improved velocity and manageable neck pain. DEN wont want to pay him, he becomes a FA. What is an example of a team with weapons on Offense but horrible QB play...and a defense that is stout?
The Houston Texans. It's perfect. They say listen, get us 24 points a game. Weather is perfect for him. He's from Louisiana. It's a perfect fit IF he is healthy.

Now they are saying they WANT Peyton to play this week if his foot holds up...I hope he plays and throws picks! Jets O line is going to stuff/maybe knock out Brady... then it's playoff city.

Hightower walking wounded at Pats?

First is he injured (planning on playing him in the Championship game this weekend) and second I hope he is still with the Saints?

Donta Hightower, the LB.

Yer man has 187 total yds on the season and you are starting him in your super bowl, stu? Uh oh.

In 2 games dude! Yeah, I trust him over Eddie Lacy tbh. RB has been a nightmare position this year throughout fantasyland. Also drafted Luck. Luckily for a PPR league I know my WRs and I played the waiver wire like a champ.

QB: Bortles (Fitzpatrick)
RB: Hightower, West (C. Michael, Lacy, Ka. Williams) (could start Williams instead of Charcandrick West)
WR: Hopkins, Robinson, Bryant/Landry (haven't decided on my WR3)
TE: Gates (Thomas)
K: Gano
DST: Seahawks

He should win though...

QB: Brady,
RB: Joique Bell, David Johnson (Yeldon)
WR: Julio Jones, Odell(lol), Lockett (Floyd, James Jones, Moncrief)
TE: Delanie Walker (Witten)
K: Santos,
DST: Panthers (Cards)

I really think the Jets D will play well. You need them to harass him all day.

Im taking the Jets +3.5. There are some big spreads this week. 13 pts in an nfl game. 12, 11.

Patriots have Edelman, Amendola, Chandler, Chung, Ebner, Hightower, Kline, LaFell and McCourty all either questionable or doubtful!!!! I'd be finding out how many of them are going for play before I'd be having a bet.

The line might be about right. The Patriots will be all out to get a food performance and wrap up the 1 seed. The Jets simply must win. A cracker in prospect.

Edelman, Amendola, Chung, Kline and McCourty all OUT. Tough to see them winning in New York with all those injuries.

Redskins are in the playoffs - the worst team in it .... but at least we are in it! It's not bad considering we were the 32nd team at the start of the season!
