Ah, the late-in-the-season Saturday games begin! Love it.
Houston at N.Y. Jets 4:30 pm NFLN MetLife Stadium Slight hiccup by the Texans last week, but the Jets are still the Jets and no way the Texans lose to Gang Green. Texans.
Cleveland at Denver 8:20 pm NFLN Broncos Stadium at Mile High Was high on the Broncos till they somehow managed to lose to the Niners. And the Browns are surging. Yes, the Browns! Browns.
SUNDAY, DEC 16, 2018
Dallas at Indianapolis 1:00 pm FOX Lucas Oil Stadium Hmmm... Is that Cowboys defense for real? Guess we'll find out! Cowboys.
Miami at Minnesota 1:00 pm CBS U.S. Bank Stadium Despite the Miami Miracle last week, I still can't get on the Dolphins bandwagon. But... the Vikings are one of the biggest disappoints of the season. Nevertheless they'll win this one just to tease their fans. Vikings.
Oakland at Cincinnati 1:00 pm CBS Paul Brown Stadium Somehow the Raiders managed a win last week. Against the Steelers! And the Bungles... they are having one of their most Bungles-est seasons. Raiders.
Tennessee at N.Y. Giants 1:00 pm CBS MetLife Stadium The G-Men are making a strong second half run (now that their season is basically over). No OBJ ... doesn't matter. Barkley will carry them. Giants.
Washington at Jacksonville 1:00 pm CBS TIAA Bank Field Josh Johnson is starting for the 'Skins, who improbably are not mathematically eliminated from postseason play. Who's starting for Jax (the most disappointing team in the league)? Redskins.
Arizona at Atlanta 1:00 pm FOX Mercedes-Benz Stadium Arizona put up a measly three points against Detroit last week. Therefore, obviously, they will win Sunday. Cardinals.
Detroit at Buffalo 1:00 pm FOX New Era Field Gawd there are a lot of horrible match-ups this week! But I gotta figure Matthew Stafford will find a way to win this one. Lions.
Green Bay at Chicago 1:00 pm FOX Soldier Field The Bears are rolling.. well, not really as that loss to the Giants (?!) is troubling. But the Pack is in confusion.... Bears.
Tampa Bay at Baltimore 1:00 pm FOX M&T Bank Stadium A must-win for the Ravens and Tampa Bay is bad, and even worse on the road. Ravens.
Seattle at San Francisco 4:05 pm FOX Levi's Stadium Big win for the Sea-Hags on Monday. This could be a classic trap game, but I dont think Pete Carroll will let that happen. Seahawks.
New England at Pittsburgh 4:25 pm CBS Heinz Field Three weeks ago - four? - the Steelers dismantled the Panthers. Since then... well, let's just say a loss to the Raiders is the nadir. Now they get the Patriots in pretty much a must-win match-up. And the Patriots are gonna be hot after blowing that game against Miami... Patriots.
Philadelphia at L.A. Rams 8:20 pm NBC Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Carson Wentz is done for the season. Can Nick Foles do it again?! Not with a start on the road against the Rams, who a loss to the Bears notwithstanding are about the most balanced team in the league. Rams.
MONDAY, DEC 17, 2018
New Orleans at Carolina 8:15 pm ESPN Bank of America Stadium The Saints are rolling to the playoffs, and right now would be the Number 1 seed in the NFC. I don't see them jeopardizing that with a loss to the rapidly sinking Panthers, who have lost five in a row. Saints.
Good luck everyone!
Have always been a big Rivers fan too. I remember seeing him in a bowl game of his senior year where he absolutely destroyed the opposing team. Congrats to him and his wife and his seemingly-ever-growing family.
On Sat, winners:
Hous
Cleve.
is it too early to talk dynasty?
Haha. That's a new one.
Amazing.
My Chargers won? Beat the Chefs????
WOOOHOOOO.
That's it.
The bolts awesome season and these nasty trolls have inspired me to return to football after an almost two year layoff.
Count me in, fellas.
Bagster the traitor and whore.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHARGERS!!!!
Thanks, you nasssty trolls.
Cause Manning said he would refuse to play for the Chargers. My Manning hate lives on. The Chargers had Drew Brees, but drafted Rivers anyway, then got rid of Brees to the Aints.
Brees is still going strong, so either one woulda been fine with me. I did then and still do, love me some Drew Brees.
Is Melvin Gordon out and for how long? How long does it look like Keenan will be out. I got some catching up to do.
If its not too late, here's a pic.
That's my number one son. Another Charger fan.
Ha!
How do you like them apples, boy!?!?
Man, that’s what I am TALKING about!
San Diego is not the team of yesterday... no #1 RB, no #2 RB, lost your #1 WR during the 2nd quarter? No problem. We’ve got a guy who is a #1.. he’s raw, but he’s a #1, too.
Ouch. Just crazy!
I’m loving it...
The NFL’s worst nightmare, an All LA Super Bowl.
Booo. Thanks.
I love his fire.
80s, eh? Youngster.
John Hadl/Lance Alworth/Speedy Duncan days for me.
Since I was 10 years old.
I saw Hadl run the statue of liberty play from the ten once, and score. Off the Raiders I think, but not sure.
Only been to one real season game, though. But saw Fouts beat the Raiders 10-7 at the Murph.
I have vowed to not die until the Chargers win the Super Bowl. This could be my last year on earth. Bittersweet.
Hahaha.
