Either way... Philly is just good enough to not be in the running for the #1 pick. Jacksonville and KC are the front runners there.

it sucks being a Packers fan on the west coast

every game starts at 10 AM for me

it just feels wrong waking up, taking the dog for a walk, drinking a cup of coffee, and walking to the bar

I have a feeling the jets game is gonna be closer than a pats fan would want. The Houston game could be close as well on a short week. That's the thing about Thursday games. Both teams are at such a disadvantage. I'm pumped my team is playing Thursday so I cant complain this year . And they have Detroit, Dallas, and Washington who else should be playing besides the bears or Green Bay, maybe the giants? But pats vs anybody, Dallas v Washington, and Detroit vs Houston were all pretty good games at the beginning of the season not so much now..

Traditionally, there used to only be two games: Dallas and Washington, and Detroit playing either GB or Chicago (though, I think it was mostly GB)

Trust me I know

that's why I said who else should be playing? They have 3/4 original teams playing and just added an extra game.

I can't wait to see Luck for a full game this weekend. Hopefully he keeps the pats V colts rivalry alive. Them the jets 4 days later?!? Yes please!

Do what I do for the Bears games, Start tailgating in the parking lot of the bar with your friends three hours before game time.

Man, the Texans almost gave that game away. Jacksonville's back up QB did a great job, and the Texans should hopefully learn about some of their secondary shortcomings and fix them.

9-1, baby!

At least your team got a win today

I seriously thought that the Browns were going to get it, but then I remembered we're the Browns, and aren't allowed to win. Bad penalties, injuries in the secondary, and inability to get anything started on offensive once the 4th quarter hits (that touchdown at the end of the 4th was a nice surprise.

Though I will say this, Dallas is far too much of an overrated team, the fact that it took till half way through overtime for them to beat the Browns is decently telling.

**Chancetragedy**

If death reaper does it is he's the first to go over 100points in a week since kronk week 1(which had a couple more games than this week.)

**DeathReaper**

102 currently pending the bears win, when they do I will have 103. (Byte hit 100 as well.)

I knew the Jets/ Rams game could go either way. I was surprised Houston almost lost to the worst team in the league.

Any given sunday I guess.

Overall a good week of football so far, except for the packers cheating their way to a win. The Ref's need to get better and quick.

**Piston Honda**

The Broncos better get the ball rolling early in games or they will be knocked out of the playoffs first game they play.

Alex smith is out as well. Who's the 9ers backup?

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

Kaepernick (Spelling??) vs Campbell tonight

Could be interesting but horrible at the same time, or could be a great day for Forte and Gore

**malfred**

Neurologist didn't clear him? Wow.

This is either going to be funny or hilarious.

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

Seriously wouldn't be surprised to see 4+ INTS thrown tonight, Kaepernick is a running QB like Tebow and Campbell is past his prime. Tillman and Jennings have been brutal especially with Chris Conte and Major Wright over the top.

And the 49ers front 7 is insanely good this year with Justin Smith leading a fearsome pass rush against a wall of wet TP that is the Bears o-Line

**Chancetragedy**

How could I forget kaeparnick "the pistol". This is gonna be a defensive game to the end I love it!

This has been a fun week with picks!

About the Jets/Rams, thats why they roll the dice errr play the game

**Experiment 626**

F'ing Jets! I hope Sanchez playing decently for what, the second time this year, doesn't cost me on my Pro-Picks this week...

So far I've got every other game right on my ticket! Hopefully I made a safe choice picking the Bears in tonight's game.

Expect me back tomorrow cursing those stupid Jets some more!

**malfred**

Someone wake me up for Bears D.

and the Bears...

**malfred**

Second string theory fail.

**DeathReaper**

Yea, the Bears D was nowhere to be found, and the O line had butter on their hands so everyone was slipping right past them.

Why the Bears Offensive coordinator kept calling plays to have Forte run up the middle, I will never understand.

**Chancetragedy**

Wow that was awesome and really shows how good San Francisco is. They are gonna go far.

I wouldn' count on that... the Rams tied them for feth sakes, in which the Rams should've won.

The Rams laid a stinker last weekend.

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

I can't see the bears doing well without Cutler, Campbell just isn't cutting it atm with the pack right on our heels for the division's title

**Chancetragedy**

I think games against playoff contenders matter in the grand scheme more than a non playoff division games. Division games are often tight affairs no matter how good or bad either team is. And if San Fran can put those points up against people with either QB(remember kapaernick was drafted by Harbaugh). They're gonna go far again in the playoffs. The bears lose their starting QB and put up what, 17 points in 2 games, The 49ers lose theirs and are 1-0-1 having just put up 32 on the bears D.

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

the Bears have put up 10 points in 6 quarters with Campbell as a starter who is 25-41 201 Yards 1 TD 2 INT

**Byte**

Campbell is horrible, this isn't a news flash.

However, the kid from SF is fantastic, Wow!

**Chancetragedy**

So how stupid does Jim Schwartz feel? He literally tossed Houston that game. They should not have won at all.

And RGIII is throwing like a boss!

everybody at the bar was dumbfounded by the rule, -then when it was explained - Jim Schwartz's awful sportsman ship
And that OT was horribly close

And RG3 deserved that win, no just to watch Brady rip apart the Jets
