:: Miami has the passion and fire of Jay Cutler ::
I’m surprised Impy didn’t fall over dead. I simply thought you were being sarcastic.
Jay Cutler saw my post and it made him almost smile but then he just shrugged instead.
Al's already picked them for the upset. ;-D
Impy's pickz, some tough calls this week, after a couple of good weeks I'm worried I'm about to screw the pooch, here goes
I wish the Cowboys luck but I can't bring myself to pick them
Denver and Miami, who would have thought that would be close call? Broncos racked up another loss.
Lions nab some prey on the road
Titans
Jags had a boner last week against my Olde Chi Cards, but they'll TCB against Indy
Ugh, I wish I picked against the Chiefs last week, they can't lose 4 in row can they? They can. But...they..won't? Won't.
Vikes koolaid tastes pretty good, I'll have glass
Al's on his own, Pats
Let me pick 1 Bears win correctly, please? If not I might defect to Green Bay myself.
Speaking of which, they are hard to predict since Rogers has been out. Get shutout by the Ravens at home then almost win in Stoolerville? Winston is back for Tampa. He hasn't been great but....eh, I say he wins this one.
Chargers were the Browns one win last year, won't happen again
Not a lot of respect for the Panthers here, they may will win, but I'll take the Saints
Rams ram my Old Chi Cards
I won't make any more fun of Geno Smith but, he'll lose
Will the Eagles lose again this season? Not this battle of the birds.
Stoolers
I saw the correction first, it saved my life.
Full disclosure: I despise Jay Cutler almost as much as I despise Jeff George.
Hmm...I don’t think Dallas loses 4 straight. Do I change my pick and take them tonight or stay with the Redskins?
Thursday, Nov 30, 2017 (All times Eastern)
Washington at Dallas 8:25 pm NFLN (& NBC) AT&T Stadium What has happened to the Cowboys? They have totally fallen apart. While the Redskins are not the Redskins of the halcyon Gibbs days, with Kirk Cousins they still have an outside shot at the postseason. Redskins.

Denver at Miami 1:00 pm FOX Hard Rock Stadium Denver made a game of it last week, and even threw in a near-riot against the Silver-and-Black. Miami.... who can figure? Now that the season is a write-off for the Broncos, maybe they'll actually play better? Broncos.
Detroit at Baltimore 1:00 pm FOX M&T Bank Stadium The Ravens have won two in a row, against an Aaron Rodgers-less Packers, and a Deshaun Watson-less Texans. The Lions on the other hand have Matthew Stafford and can definitely put up points, which the Ravens have a problem doing. Lions.
Houston at Tennessee 1:00 pm CBS Nissan Stadium Tennessee does just enough each week to win against lesser opponents - see last week versus the Colts. But the Texans are just too depleted. Titans.
Indianapolis at Jacksonville 1:00 pm CBS EverBank Field The Jacksonville D, the Colts anemic offense... Jax dines on Indianapolis. Jaguars.
Kansas City at N.Y. Jets 1:00 pm CBS MetLife Stadium The Chiefs.... 5 - 0 start and 1 - 5 since then. Normally I would say a trip to New York to play the Jets would be just what the doctor ordered, but I said that two weeks ago when they played the Giants. And lost. But this time they get it right. Chiefs.
Minnesota at Atlanta 1:00 pm FOX Mercedes-Benz Stadium Minnesota is rolling. And the Falcons seem to be getting back on track too. I'm still not sold on Case Keenum, whereas Matt Ryan is more of a proven winner and a known quantity. Plus Julio Jones. Plus paying at home. Plus Minnesota can more afford a loss... Falcons.
New England at Buffalo 1:00 pm CBS New Era Field Way back when New England was 2 - 2. Now they are 9 - 2. Buffalo has been the very definition of inconsistency, and while they have been good at home that won't be enough against Tom and Company. Patriots.
San Francisco at Chicago 1:00 pm CBS Soldier Field San Fran with Garrapolo.... hmmm.. Yeah, even though the Bears have been trending slightly up, I like the Niners here. Niners.
Tampa Bay at Green Bay 1:00 pm FOX Lambeau Field Can Green Bay get one win with Bret Hundley? They can this week at home against the Bucs. Packers.
Cleveland at L.A. Chargers 4:05 pm CBS StubHub Center The Chargers will continue their playoff run against the woebegone Browns. Chargers.
Carolina at New Orleans 4:25 pm FOX Mercedes-Benz Superdome The home field advantage gives the Saints the edge here. Saints.
L.A. Rams at Arizona 4:25 pm FOX University of Phoenix Stadium Rams righted things after the Minnesota loss against the Saints last week. And the Cardinals... nah.Rams.
N.Y. Giants at Oakland 4:25 pm FOX Oakland Coliseum Geno Smith.... Eli Manning... it doesn't matter. Raiders.
Philadelphia at Seattle 8:30 pm NBC CenturyLink Field A big test for Carson Wentz and the Iggles. Seattle ain't the intimidating bunch they use to be. Eagles.
Monday, Dec 4, 2017
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati 8:30 pm ESPN Paul Brown Stadium The Steelers have been playing just good enough to win.... see last week's fifty-something yard FG to win at the last second against the Packers. Cincy... Will Pittsburgh blow it? I don't think so. Steelers.
And as for the college games this week...
Auburn beats Georgia.... again.
Ohio State beats Wisconsin.
Clemson beats Miami.
USC beats Stanford.
Oklahoma beats TCU.
I'll leave the playoff choices to the committee.
Question...
Is Dallas QB Prescott a victim of...
A. A sophomore slump
B. Lack of a running game with out Elliot
C. Defensive Co-ordinators league wide figured him out like they did Krappy-dink
?????
Jeff George... franchise killer. Million dollar arm, ten cent head.
Winners
Skins
MIAMI
Det
Tennessee
Jax
Jets
Minn
Pats
SF
TB
Chargers
Carolina
Rams
Oakland
Philly
Cincinnati
OT:
Did you finally stifle that concern troll on the “sex abuse” thread?
Well they had no running game even with Zeke. I think the problem is the offensive line, receivers and coachng.
Yes....
A. A sophomore slump
B. Lack of a running game with out Elliot
C. Defensive Co-ordinators league wide figured him out like they did Krappy-dink
All of the above?!
Do you? You have 20 minutes to decide.
I stuck with the pick because Dallas really did not look encouraging last week. But they are up 17-7 now.
Garrett probably saved his job tonight.
Really? I’d think the absence of Zeke and Sean Lee would mediate any notion of bad coaching. Of course, Jerry has a history of throwing babies out with bath water, hut I thought Garrett was in pretty solid.
