NFL Tonight

[85eurocarrera]

Unfortunately I have to agree that the bears could make a run at the superbowl this year. Easy schedual (just look at our division) and I would say the number 1 D this year.

Where are the Miami boys? Is peppers knee good to go or is it gonna collapse?

Lendaddy: Prepare to eat your shorts. I think they can/ should sweep the division. Thats 6 right there! This coming from a viking fan.

The Vikes could do very well this year, just you watch. And no one in our division is anywhere good enough to run the table. 8-8, 9-7 will take it.

I wonder if peppers knee will survive the night, nevermind the season. He seems pretty gimped up

True dat.

By the way, I know the REAL reason he left. Neither Gruden or the Raiders have publicly admitted it. (Short version; Al Davis is not an easy man to work for.)

[dd74]

Al Davis is nutz, and stuck in the Madden years. Heck, he probably thinks Stabler is still his QB.

The greatest slap to "Just win, baby!" Al, was Gruden winning the SB for Tampa the year after he left.

Hilarious!

i dont know what your talking about the bears highly overrated. everyone has known for years that their offense is bad. however, the defense has lived up to its reputation everytime. barring injuries on the offense they should do alright this year

Look at where they are getting ranked by some this year. Hell, I saw a few superbowl predictions....what a joke.

The fact that this game is a pick-em is testament to the fact that no one expects much from the Steelers this year. Even Bettis says they blow.

Miami is a middle of the road team and Pitt isn't even favored at home????? Yea, Pitt is the new Baltimore fluke.

Yeah right. 26-7, (32-8 if you count the post season) in the past two years. Doesn't sound flukey to me. The whole NFL is a fluke every year, (Except maybe for your Detroit Lions). At least you remembered Baltimore. Everyone else seems to forget Tampa Bay won. You don't even mention they fact that the spread is decided on Ben not playing. There not just not expecting much with Batch playing. It must be the Detroit roots.

[lendaddy]

The spread was 4 with Ben....You get 3 just for being the home team.

Take from that what you will.

Nick Saban throws like a girl

The season will tell the story, but yes they will not be a threat to repeat this year.....not even close. Check the vegas odds on them even going, not good, they were a fluke.

The fact that they are in a simple division helps a lot, they will get most of their wins there but still hover around .500-.600

Bank it

Care for a $100 social experiment bet on that ??
.550 or lower you win
.551 + I win ???

[lendaddy]

That was a terrible let down by Miami. They had the game and literally threw it away. A win is a win though.

So no bets anymore

Maybe that's because Nick Saban needs to brush up on his "attention getting" skills...

[lendaddy]

Nah, the game was gone by then anyway.
