[RikaStrom]

Nothing majorly new. Working my patootie off. Uggg.

The pooch decided that I shouldn't be asleep at 3 this morning, so she jumped on the bed and tried to behead me. Puppies ... goodness they're energetic. lol

And how are you doing??

[MeekOneGOP]

You bet.....enjoy !

[NeoCaveman]

[Bella_Bru]

it's the ones they SHOULD win, that make me nervous.

But the Bears have two banged up quarterbacks and are coming off of a Monday Night slaughter.

[hobbes1]

I pray the same thing happens to Miami w/Oakland coming to town and and NE @Tenn this Monday night.

[SeaDragon]

But of course...........

[NeoCaveman]

I developed a primitive handcapping system that was pretty accurate last weekend, college and Pro. It says (straight up) the winners of those 3 games are NY Jets, Miami, and Tennesse wins huge over New England.

[hobbes1]

As much as I would like your cash flow to be on the Upswing, I hope you have to settle for 2 of 3 ...lol

[NeoCaveman]

I hope you have to settle for 2 of 3 ...lol

Understood. LOL. I just don't see how the Raiders can stop Ricky Williams, he's getting stronger as the year goes on, rare for a runningback.

[NeoCaveman]

Heck I'd take 2 of 3 everyday. After a while, I wouldn't have to work....

[hobbes1]

Conversely, I fear the Evil Genius vs. McNair, but i think tht Miamis over aggressive defense is suceptible to what Oakland does on offense.

Not only are their throws short, and quick, but what they like to do best is use one or two guys to clear out a spot, leaving one defender, then make him choose between two targets.....(Like a back and a TE...)

I can see Miami's D wearing dwon late in that game if they dont hold the ball

[hobbes1]

stopping ricky williams, means putting 8 upfront, and not allowing a passing game.

[NeoCaveman]

means putting 8 upfront, and not allowing a passing game.

8 up front means a wideout is open, normally.

[xsmommy]

gee, i felt like i needed a nap and you two are about making me doze off.

i have 3 kids here today that are on my very last nerve..... watch the nightly news for a murder/suicide situation....

[NeoCaveman]

I knew the football talk would get your attention...

[xsmommy]

hope you are beating the pup, as you advised me to do! ; )

xspup is cooling his heels in the freezing rain out on the deck, just bc he was p'ing me off. so i have 3 kids on my last nerve and one dog on the very last nerve and a hub that just left for the office, THANK THE LORD!
