Look like the NFL scorer has it as a 4 yeard fumble recovery.

What a great play:)

[hipaatwo]

Great screen shots!

[GLDNGUN]

No, I don't believe it's a TD pass. Recovered fumble for TD

Moss is such a whiny little baby... Aw... didn't like being tackled... too bad.

Now for today's games. Philly is giving 8 to the Vikes. Philadelphia will cover. The Vikings secondary is sub-par and very exploitable for McNabb, even without Owens.
The Patriots are 1.5 point favorites. Give it to the Pats. Outdoor conditions will slow down the Colts high-powered offense. The Patriots running game will also keep Manning on the sidelines. In this post I predicted a Pats victory by the score of 23-17.

I took the other side of both games. After watching Philly play the AFC North teams I am just not impressed at all. Not that the Vikings are a prize, they aren't but the line seemed big to me especially when the favorite has had a month off.

Indy is a strange play. Typically I would like the hometeam with the history of winning but the Pats are so injured that Erthwyn(sp?) Meyer will be playing nickel back for the Pats. Meyer has spent the last two years on the Cleveland Browns practice squad.

The public seems to agree with me as the line is now Indy as a one point favorite. I got in at a pick 'em.

Amazing what plays the Egos came up with in their time off ! ;-)

[thoughtomator]

Yep. Minn has the ball, Vikes time out.

[budman_2001]

Yuppers.

Moss doesn't want to mess with Trotter.

Now for my prediction for the SECOND half....

[GOPRaleigh]

It's difficult to pull for any of the remaing NFC teams - they're all pretty average.

[ohioWfan]

Philly fumbled with a fantastic hit, the ball bounced forward in the air, and was caught in the end zone for a Philly touchdown.

I've never seen anything like it!

[thoughtomator]

Vikes are driving, not out of the game yet.

[GLDNGUN]

The public seems to agree with me...

The absolute WORST wager in sports.

[Peter Jennings]

Typical Eagles touchdown.

Their first touchdown was a result of a penalty after they failed to get a first down.

This last drive was all penalties and then this.

Still waiting for a conventional touch down drive by the Eagles without the benfit of penalties and fluke plays.

[ohioWfan]

WOW! Great screen catches! Did you do that??

[rdb3]

The line has moved. Now it's Pats -2.5.

[marajade]

Yes, they are.

[csvset]

A fluke !
