imagine your bachelor party being everyone dressing like Mike Ditka

good start for Dallas

Go The Bills

Raiders decided they'd rather just implode in the first quarter instead of just waiting for the 4th quarter

Progress!

I picked Dallas with serious hesitation, but I do think Dallas is built to beat the way the Vikings have been winning their games.

If this goes down to Dallas needing one first down to ice the game, I'm betting on Dallas. That's the difference between this game and a lot of games the Vikings have won.

The Raiders despite all their mistakes were going to get the ball with 3 minutes left down 3.

So they commit a personal foul.

But since Melvin Gordon is still a fumbler, the Broncos have to settle for 3 as time expires after he coughs it up at the 1.

And it's blocked.

These teams are so bad.

I wonder what the record for fumbles at the 1 is because I feel like be has it.

The key factor for Dallas/Minnesota is that the game isn't being played at 1 PM

The Steelers now have their two longest touchdowns of the season: 24 and 19 yards.

The Bengals keep letting the Steelers match them drive for drive. It's a bad look.

I've been planning on picking against the Vikings next week because it's a night game.

Dallas should throw and then just let the clock run if it fails.

Running it for 6 yards was.. A thing.

Took them too long to actually put it down the field but that play yikes.

Why did it take that long to start up the review? That was way too long.

Just iced the kicker at the very last second possible.. And that kick was even better.

Raiders get close to field goal range only for Devante Adams to take an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and kill the drive.

Talk about a move that killed two teams.

I wouldn't blame Adams for why the Raiders are bad this year

But this also isn't the first time he's killed a drive with antics.

Discipline is their problem and he's an active contributor to that problem.

They've been into Broncos territory in every drive and in field goal range 4 times but only have 10 points because they can't get out of their own way. A penalty like that is just killer.

And of course they 3 and out to start the 4th which also seems normal.

It's a problem the Raiders have had long before he got there

Wait Dallas already scored?

Why did I think this game was so hard to pick

All I did was take clothing out of the dryer and I come back and it's 30.

Yeah, I was undeterred by the Green Bay loss last week. I was totally confident in Dallas, as was Vegas.

Probably the best thing that'll come out of this game.

Is.. Anyone going to actually protect Kirk Cousins in this game?

4th and 29 at own 6.

Vegas was basically daring people to bet on the Vikings. That's what that spread said to me.

Daring them for a reason. That spread was a trap and a sucker's bet.

There's been a few notable spreads like that. Seattle/Tampa was that way last week.

37-3 Dallas stop they're already dead

Also it's been pulled off the air for Bengals/Steelers

3rd and 11 at the 2 minute warning.

Does Denver throw it and hope Vegas screws the pooch, or do they just run it, kill clock, and punt?

Stay tuned!

So uh.

Raiders TD 3 plays into OT. Guess they did want the ball!

I hit a big upset by picking against the Raiders last week and a big upset by picking them this week.

I feel like I've been crazy accurate with my upset leanings this year, I just haven't been picking them so much until these last two weeks.

Minnesota isn't 8-1 good, but surely they're not as bad as this game made them look. I think they just... Totally unraveled once the score got out of whack.

Vikes are good, but only one NFC East team can beat the Bills in the Superbowl, and the Vikings are in the North

That was an important hold by the Chargers.

Vikings/Bills super bowl might cause the universe to implode in on itself!

That throw by Mahomes was insane

This very much feels like a game KC is going to win by 3.

The Vikings now have a negative point differential because both of their losses are blowouts and 7 of their wins are by 1 score.

bills are +107

Which of the five Chiefs that dogpiled on that fumble will get credit for the recovery I wonder.

Usually when it's a pile like that, it's not all people from the same team!

The Vikings have had a lot of lucky wins.

Dallas and Philadelphia totally wrecked their shit though.

I feel bad for Clyde but its clear we just need a hungry young running back for the offense to work

and as I say that a bad fumble by the other veteran RB

On a side note, the Bills are favored by 9.5 on Thanksgiving, and that spread feels way too high. I wouldn't be surprised if the Lions won the game outright!

Nah, that's a bad matchup for the Lions.

too much time, etc.

Two more weeks until we see if Deshaun "Handsy" Watson was worth all the drama. I'm betting he wasn't and that a lot of people are going to be fired over it.

The Browns could win the Super Bowl with Watson and it still wouldn't be worth it.

Having hall of famers is fun

It never gets old

never take it for granted

When the Chargers had the ball at the 2 minute warning, all I thought was "No matter what they do here, they will lose by 3".

Zach Wilson is under tons of fire from all sides after going 9/22 (5 of those incompletions were interceptable), but refusing to take any responsibility for how badly he played.

This guy was an obvious bust before anyone even drafted him, but he seems incapable of even acknowledging when he plays terribly. The wheels could fall off even quicker than people like me expected them to.

Cordarelle Patterson had as many yards on his kickoff return as the Jets had all game

Buffalo had as many yards of snow as the Jets had total yards in the second half

Melvin Gordon was benched following his yet-another-fumble at the 1 yard line and today has been released.

It was his second time this season, too!

It was pretty insane that they kept putting him out there given his production was both bad and he seemed to have no concern for protecting the ball. Wonder what took them so long.
