This is one of the worst slates of games I've ever seen in a given week. 4 good/greats ones and 10 dogs. The 1 pm games are just horrid....consider that Cincy/Baltimore is the best of the lot.

Minnesota having 2 straight Monday night games is bizarre too; never recall that happening.

starman9000 · 10-08-09, 07:36 AM

Minnesota plays the Rams on Sunday. Not sure what the deal is there. I think it's Miami.

Then Lorenzo copied something wrong. If it's Miami, then make it 3 good/great games and 11 dogs.

Me007gold · 10-08-09, 08:12 AM

ugh, second week in a row that I am stuck with Oakland.

Yep, Jets @ Miami is the Monday night game.

dvd-4-life · 10-08-09, 08:28 AM

No game strikes me this week as--wow thats going to be a good game. I will give the NFL a D-plus for this weeks match-ups. At the beginning of the season-Indy-TN looked like a good game but not now.

wmansir · 10-08-09, 09:12 AM

What a terrible slate of games.

Cinncy@Baltimore, Atlanta@SF and NE@Denver look good, although I haven't seen more than highlights from SF and Cinncy. Minn@NO would of been great but Jets@Miami might be good.

Also I saw that Indy is only getting 4 over Tenn. Did Manning break his throwing arm or something?

I assume you mean giving 4.

More talks resume about getting a team to Los Angeles.

Semcken said new talks would begin after the Super Bowl in February, and may involve the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Buffalo Bills, the Minnesota Vikings, the St. Louis Rams, the Chargers and the Oakland Raiders.

The San Francisco 49ers could also be pursued if a vote for a new stadium in Santa Clara fails.

I still fail to realize why LA needs a team when we have USC for football (people here that are UCLA fans are just fooling themselves

). LA Fans are picky and already live with one loveable loser in the Clippers. Large market or not, I don't see a new stadium filling up outside of the first year if a team isn't going to be above .500 and make it to the Superbowl.

You mean giving 4... which admittedly does look enticing. This, however, is a quintessential sucker bet.
Generally, home teams perform even better in primetime games than they normally do... National spotlight and whatnot. In this case, it's also a division rivalry. Division games tend to be closer even with a big skill difference with the teams. The road team on a Sunday/Monday night game often appears to be a good bet, but because of these factors aren't nearly as good as they appear. I strongly advise staying away from Indy -4.

Deftones · 10-08-09, 03:01 PM

The AZ/Hou game could be fun and high scoring. If the Cards lose that game, they are done for the season.

1) Titans have their back against a wall, they have to win to have any hope of salvaging the season.
2) Home primetime game
3) Division- Everyone in the AFC south plays indy tough
4) Chris Johnson versus indy running D
5) Potential trap/letdown game for indy

Quake1028 · 10-08-09, 04:31 PM

I hope it's not high scoring, at least through the air, unless it's to Walter.

My bad. It's fixed now. The Monday nighter is Jets vs Dolphins.

There's absolutely no way any team other than the Raiders will wind up there. I thought that stadium in Santa Clara for the 49ers was finally okayed? Candlestick is such a dinosaur.

And big point spreads abound in the early games. I don't think I can touch any of these - nothing jumps out at me.

LorenzoL · 10-11-09, 10:15 AM

Just to repeat what Red Dog has already stated but this week's games are beyond horrible.
I think the only game that I'm remotely interested is the Patriots/Broncos game.

Doesn't mean that I won't be watching any games though...

I'm in a pick'em pool using the point spreads and I was sitting in 2nd before last week. After this week, I'm not sure if I'm going to in the top 15.

tommyp007 · 10-11-09, 10:20 AM

THIS is the week Carolina gets a win.
