GO PATRIOTS... well you stick with your team.

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Going with the Cha Cha's tonight. This time I picked all the Yahoo favorites, checked it twice from two different browsers, and plan to make adjustments later.

Pretty even match, look for lots of punts.

Glad to hear it !

Do ya think the Broncos are going to miss the playoffs ?

[Rummyfan]

Chargers surprised me. Oh well....

[mware]

I surprised myself. Thought I picked Denver. When I checked after the game I had actually picked Chargers.

(Rest to be posted on Saturday)

Okay, pleasantly surprised by the Chargers last night as that helped in my fantasy league (in the playoffs yay!) but I picked Denver. The rest of my picks::

Chiefs, even with a diminished or missing Mahomes, have enough to down the Texans.
Ravnes handle the Steelers. It's basically a must -win for the Ravens, and if Lamar and Company play to their strengths it should be easy. Although there's no denying Tomlin and the Steelers are in Lamar's head.
Falcons and Michael Penix handle the Giants.
Lions thrash the hapless Bears.
Bengals and Joe Burrow dismantle the Browns. In any other season Burrow would be the MVP... but Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and Saquon Barkley ...
Colts beat the Titans.
Rams down the Jets.
Eagles keep on rolling and beat the Commanders.
Cardinals beat the Panthers.
Vikings beat the Seahawks. Can't the Vikings get any love?!
Bills beat the Pats. No let down after the win over Detroit.
Jaguars over the Raiders. The Game of the Week! I don't know whom is QBing either team.
Niners beat the Dolphins. Hoping the Niners have not quit on the season.
Bucs beat the Cowboys. I believe in the Bucs after they dismantled the Chargers last week.
Packers take down the Saints.

Good Luck Everyone!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

And finally.... Congratulations to Navy on a well-played game and a great win over Army. Next year for the Cadets!

Do ya think the Broncos are going to miss the playoffs ?

I think the Broncos will still get in. Their remaining two games are Bengals and Chiefs. They should certainly win one of those games, maybe both.

[Rummyfan]

Good for you!

Feels weird having the 2 of the 3 big College games tomorrow in competition with the 2 NFL games. They’ve never scheduled games on the same day like this until now. Gonna wear my clicker out!

[Rummyfan]

If you love football of the college and pro variety tomorrow is the day for you.

[Rummyfan]

Notre Dame seems to be handling IU ... not quite easily but comfortably. Almost the end of the first half.

[chuck allen]

Yeah I’m loving all the football, wife not so much. 😝

Wouldn’t mind seeing IU eek one out tonight.

[Rummyfan]

Wouldn’t mind seeing IU eek one out tonight.

Would love to see that too.

[Rummyfan]

I just don’t think IU is in ND’s class. IU had a great season, perhaps it’s best ever. But I don’t think they’re advancing tonight.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Going into the game, Notre Dame is a 1.5-point favorite, despite Georgia being the higher-seeded team, while the total has been set at 46.5 points

FanDuel projects the Nittany Lions will be favored by 11.5 points over Boise State if the schools play one another on Dec. 31

TEX -13.5 over AZ St.

Oregon -1.5 over OH St.
