it's stupid and I hate England and I hope the Queen gets mud on her dress

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-23-2014 12:24 AM

that might be the only game i can watch live this week. :(

Droford 10-23-2014 02:06 AM

Its pretty cool that fox is showing the game everywhere not just in ATL/DET but I'm not sure I'm getting up that early. I'm also not touching Detroit -4.5 with a 10 ft pole but I wouldn't touch Atlanta with a 100 ft pole even ifvthey were getting 2 tds

road doggy dogg 10-23-2014 08:35 AM

I've been staying away from Detroit games because they're all games I could see them losing or not covering, and I still like to think I am too emotionally invested into sports to bet against my own team.

Ruien 10-23-2014 11:51 PM

Now can we get over San Diego is just as good as Denver crap?

Clerk 10-24-2014 07:15 AM

Broncos and Cardinals are the best team in the NFL at this Juncture.

Even tho the Broncos beat the Cardinals, I'd still take the cardinals in the superbowl.

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 08:38 AM

Cowboys are better than the Cardinals in the NFC right now. That can change, of course, but right now Dallas is the team to beat.

I still like San Diego the rest of the way, and think they can hang with Denver

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 08:40 AM

That's not to say Denver isn't the best in the AFC, because they are... you could talk me into Indianapolis or even Cincinnati still though

Evil Vito 10-24-2014 09:11 AM

<font color=goldenrod>The best part about the playoffs is that they're largely a crapshoot. Last year was the first time that both #1 seeds and the consensus "top 2 teams in the NFL" met in the Super Bowl in ages. Odds are at least one of the conferences will be represented by whatever team is riding the hot hand heading into the playoffs. I could still very easily see San Diego being that team.

I took the Colts to win the AFC in my preseason predictions so I'm gonna stick with that. They'll be without Reggie Wayne for a few weeks but Luck can still get by with the weapons he has...and TY Hilton is a monster anyway.</font>

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 09:15 AM

My preseason SB bet was Green Bay. Looked awful after 3 weeks but they're coming alive now which gives me hope to win money.

I took the SD season over of 8 games (need 9+ or it's a push). I have faith they will reach that.


I think the "teams to beat" in descending-ish order are:

AFC
Denver
Indianapolis
San Diego
Cincinatti
New England
Baltimore

NFC:
Dallas
Green Bay
Arizona
Detroit
Philadelphia


(not really going out on a limb there)

I could see any of those AFC teams taking it. NFC I think it will be one of the top three I listed, as much as I would fucking diiiiiiiiiiie to see the Lions I don't think their offense is reliable enough at this point (so strange to say)

Heisenberg 10-24-2014 09:26 AM

I would love Green Bay to return, but I don't think it's going to be this year. More happy points if they do, but not going to drink my urine over it.

Dallas with heel Romo continuing to curse fans for not showing up would be awesome, him hoisting the trophy and crediting the staff and players would be tits mcgrits. It would be on Bret Hart meltdown level.

Arizona v.s. Cincy in the SB with tweener Palmer teasing to win the Championship and take it back to Cincy with him would be riveting breasts.

Philly v.s. Baltimore or Napoleon Dynamite v.s. Danielsan for the title would market that appeal.

San Diego v.s. Detroit would be a bomb fest, Stafford and Rivers tearing it up.

It's a good mix of teams in the race and I'm enjoying each week of it

Evil Vito 10-24-2014 09:26 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Still not totally willing to count Seattle out, I think they'll get on another roll eventually. Then again I took them to repeat (I know repeating is really hard to do but I think we're due to get a repeat eventually) so I guess I kinda have to.

My NFC picks are looking terrible though. I had:

1. Seattle
2. New Orleans
3. Green Bay
4. Philadelphia
5. San Francisco
6. Chicago

Then again like most I never saw New Orleans being as bad as they've been. I thought the rest of the South would be weak but figured the Saints would beat up on them and win the second seed as a result. Now I have no idea who's coming out of the South but whoever it is is almost a lock for the 4 seed. Funny thing is if the Saints get the 4 seed I could still see them getting past the wild card round. The Superdome is not an easy place to play in January.

I waffled between Chicago and Arizona for the 6th seed. Chicago is way too inconsistent to count at this point. I knew the Cards were mad good I just figured it was a numbers game.

I guess damn Dallas is what really has thrown me off.</font>

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 09:33 AM

That entire division is poop. Carolina could win it. New Orleans could win it. Atlanta and Tampa are still only 1 and 2 games back of the lead respectively, which is absurd.

Evil Vito 10-24-2014 09:36 AM

<font color=goldenrod>It was mentioned on Guess the Lines but omg it would be hilarious if the division winner was 6-10. I'm sure one of the teams will get to 7 or 8 wins but still.

Just imagining people buying 2014 NFC South Champions gear. WOOOOO 6-10!</font>

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 09:38 AM

If a 6-10 team wins the division then goes on to have a deep playoff run, would a TB o/u 7 bet pay out? That would be fantastic. (it wouldn't, I know)

Clerk 10-24-2014 09:52 AM

Once the Cowboys face a good run defense they ll be stopped easily.

Colts and Broncos are the best in AFC

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 10:03 AM

You mean like Seattle?

Clerk 10-24-2014 11:01 AM

Seattle will be lucky to make the playoffs this season rdd

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 11:10 AM

You asked about teams with good run defenses.

Clerk 10-24-2014 11:15 AM

Yes and you said the Seattle Seahawks. This answered nothing.

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 11:18 AM

Seattle is a good team with a very good run defense that the Dallas Cowboys have beaten (and recently, to boot). Troll harder.

Crippla 10-24-2014 11:21 AM

RDD giving the Bengals a little too much credit I think.

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 11:24 AM

Maybe so, but with AJ Green healthy I think they can hang with anybody. I was wrong about them last year too though.

Clerk 10-24-2014 11:27 AM

If they can hang with anybody why can't my Browns? If they start Manziel and had Josh Gordon back. (aka the best receiver in the league)

Ruien 10-24-2014 11:28 AM

Its all about Denver and Indy in the AFC. NFC is wide open. Dallas is the top team but Arizona and Green Bay are legit too. It is awesome because all three of those teams play a different way.

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 11:29 AM

Ehh they're better off with Hoyer, but Gordon would be huge for them to get back

Losing their center hurts a ton though, which is a weird thing to say

Clerk 10-24-2014 11:29 AM

AFC Champ game: Broncos vs Colts. Colts winning.

NFC Champ game: 49ers vs Cardinals. Cardinals winning.

Superbowl: Cardinals winning 27-14.

Clerk 10-24-2014 11:30 AM

I don't agree with this Hoyer observation.

I bet you don't watch there games so you wouldn't know how he plays.

Ruien 10-24-2014 11:35 AM

RDD, are you trying to have a serious convo with Clerk? o.O

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 11:39 AM

It's funny how everyone's tune changes so quickly. Browns dismantle the Steelers and everyone sings Hoyer's praises. They lose a game that was essentially a "kitchen sink" game for Jacksonville and Hoyer who played terribly is all of a sudden the worst thing to happen. One bad game does not negate a quarter-season's worth of quality starts.

Got any better football things to discuss? Feel free to start a new discussion.

Clerk 10-24-2014 11:47 AM

He played like a certain someone .....

How long do you think Murray will be able to go at this pace before A) They give Randle more snaps, B) Let Tony throw the ball more, or C) He gets injured?

screech 10-24-2014 12:15 PM

I think Murray's legs may just collapse underneath him in week 11.

Ruien 10-24-2014 12:17 PM

I think hes going to get tired and they will be giving Romo the ball 40+ times a game again. It won't end well but with a playoff birth.

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 01:49 PM

They'll start giving Randle more touches. Romo will end up throwing more than he is now, but they are the type of team that's going to want to run to set up the pass, not vice versa.

RP 10-24-2014 02:29 PM

I'm really getting tired of Philip Rivers. I don't know why he had to mature and stop acting like a jackass. I don't know why he thinks its ok to actually come off humble and respectful and say the right things all of a sudden. I cant stand that I really like this guy now. He's tortured my Colts so many times. Hell, he even did it with one leg and then all but threw up middle fingers at the crowd afterwards. Fuck you Rivers. Fuck you for making me like you so much!

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 02:53 PM

Rivers is the best. He may be my favorite QB of all time.

screech 10-24-2014 03:20 PM

His meltdowns are great. Plus he interviewed himself on TV. Hall of Fame worthy.

road doggy dogg 10-24-2014 03:21 PM

wears a bolo tie better than any man I've ever seen
