(Faramir) / and TT, your taste in football teams is almost as bad as mine, I'm a Rams fan.
Minnesota at Green Bay .................Packers. GB will have to shut down the Vikings early after comming off last weeks comeback flourish against the Chargers. Break their "winning high" and watch the Vikingssettle into their mundane struggle. Second half... watch for a Viking attempt for a quick score to try and regain momentum.
Jacksonville at Tennessee ............Jaguars have to shut down the pass. They are giving up too many aerial yards. Last week alone they gave up over 400 passing yards. On the other hand.... the Titan defense is currently ranked second overall. This should prove to be a painful match up for both teams but I would have to go with the Titans.
St. Louis at New Orleans...............I would say the Saints, but... the Rams are due. Might as well be against the Saints. The Saints will have to watch out for that rookie back for the Rams. That guy is a serious threat. Contain him and the game will end with a Saints victory. If not... the Rams will get their first win of the season. remember... the Saints started out winless as well. All it takes is a win and spirit returns to a ballclub.
Philadelphia at Washington............The Skins need to get the ball in the endzone and quit relying on field goals to win. McNabb needs to be benched and give Feely the helm. It seems McNabb needs a walker to come onto the field and a couple stamps and a mailman to move the ball more than twenty yards. The Eagles will be hurting at strong safety after losing him in an injury against Dallas last week. Considine is out for the season. Unless the Eagles wake up and smell the coffee... this will be a Skin's win.
Buffalo at Miami .......................Buffalo wants to keep their playoff hopes alive. Miami just wants to win a game. Who wants their goal more? I think that is what it will come down to. Watch for the Bills to come out and try an early smackdown on Miami just to take any hopes away from them and settle the game into another route for the Dolphins. Buffalo should win this one.
Atlanta at Carolina ..................Panthers. Both teams need a win. Atlanta can still be in the running for post season with a win. They are almost assured of a later win against the Rams, and the rest of the division games are home field advantage for them. The Panthers need this win badly to snap their home field losing streak this season. I have to say this one is a tossup. Will either be a blowout Panther win or a Falcon squeaker.
Denver at Kansas City..............Chiefs. I hate Denver. LOL
Cleveland at Pittsburgh ..............Steelers as long as they don't walk in overconfident. Watch the bad blood between Farrior and Winslow. These two teams will be playing for first place in the division. Expect some good smashmouth football. Big Ben will look for an immediate big play score. The Browns may try but will have to settle for small gains to move the ball. This will definitely be a test for the Browns. The final score will tell if they pass. The Browns will have to put some impressive points on the board in order to have hopes of winning. Their defense... well... it has sucked all season. This is a serious concern when faced with the Steeler Big Ben assault and the ever-present running game. The Steelers are riding the victory high and the Browns are playing to stay alive and praying for a win in order to take first place in the division.
Cincinnati at Baltimore..............Bengals if they don't self destruct in the second half. This is a basement battle with both teams fighting to avoid being in last place in the division. It is unlikely either team will enjoy post season play though stranger things have happened. Right now... this is pretty much just playing to NOT be in the basement. It might be an interesting game if the Ravens remember to bring their offense this week and the Bengals remember bring their defense back out on the field for the second half. Maybe the Bengals will do better next year when the wounded return and the penal league thins out when many of their players get parole.
Detroit at Arizona..................Lions are eyeballing post season play and look to keep pace with the4 Packers. They are one game down I think so that division race is still up for grabs. They are comming off a win over the Broncos last week and have the Cards in their gunsights. Arizona will have to put pressure on the QB and rush like there is no tomorrow to keep the Lions off balance at the line. I look for a Lion victory.
Dallas at NY Giants................Cowboys on top. Both teams doing extremely well this season. NY can be blessed or cursed comming off their bye week. They will either be rested and in good shape or they will be slow and sluggish. I ex0expect a combination of both. They will have to take an early lead and dominate in order to win. I don't see that happening. The Cowboys are hunting and are making their presence known.
Chicago at Oakland ............This could go either way.... though I expect field goal(s) to be the deciding factor. Try not to fall asleep watching this game.
Indianapolis at San Diego ...........After last weeks loss to the Pats... I expect the Colts to come out loaded for bear. They need to reaffirm their dominance and get back on track and win the mental game. They are a great team. They just need to prove it to themselves again. This should not be a problem. On the flipside... the Charges need to work past the embarrassment suffered against the Vikings. For the Colts... business as usual. For the Chargers... its a "gotta do" to get back on track... but don't look for anything great from them this year. Its not like there is a real talented battle for their division.
San Fransisco at Seattle (Monday night).............. 49'ers will have to focus on shutting down the pass against the Hawks. Neither team is burning up the ratings or record books this year. Hasselbeck has had a great record against the 49'ers. I expect that to continue with the Seahawks comming out on top. They lead their division... but... thats not really saying much this year.
It's a miracle, I can't F'ing believe it, The Rams won
Minnesota at Green Bay .................Packers. GB will have to shut down the Vikings early after comming off last weeks comeback flourish against the Chargers. Break their "winning high" and watch the Vikingssettle into their mundane struggle. Second half... watch for a Viking attempt for a quick score to try and regain momentum.

Rag's Halfday Report........ 0 - 0
Minnesota at Green Bay............ 34 - 0 Packers. What a slaughter. The Vikings couldn't get any offense going at all. No passing game, no running game. No defense was happening either. So much for being second overall against the running game. We won't even talk about shutting down the pass. Yeah we will. LOL They allowed over 350 yards passing. Vikings sucked bad. Nuff said. 1 - 0
Jacksonville at Tennessee............ Titans blew this one. 28 - 13. The Jags didn't really play an impressive game... but what I think killed the Titans was themselves. They had three turnovers and 9 penalties for over 50 yards. I don't care who you are... when you commit those sins, you are in deep shit. 1 - 1
St. Louis at New Orleans.............. 37 - 29 Rams. Well... I predicted wrong but did say the Rams were due. The bill came in the mail and the Saints came up short. The Rams passed for over 300 yards and had over 100 yards rushing. The Rams held the Saints to only 7 points the first three quarters... but nearly blew it when the Saints came back and pounded out 22 points in the fourth. So Yeah... the Rams won... but it came down to the fourth quarter and alot of luck. 1 - 2
Philadelphia at Washington............. 33 - 25 Eagles. The score really doesn't tell the story. Total yards were 379 - 361.... 2 turnovers each.... time of possession was about 5 min difference... but once again... penalties made the difference in my eyes. The Skins just blew it with 11 penalties for over 70 yards. HELLO.... Wake up Skins! Even McNabb managed to bring a book of stamps. 1 - 3
Buffalo at Miami ....................... 13 - 10 Buffalo. They had to actually work for it but the Bills pulled it off. The Bill's dream of playoffs is still alive but lets face it.... it will be a nightmare when all is said and done. 2 - 3
Atlanta at Carolina .................. 20 - 13 Falcons. What can I say... upset. I did call it when I said it would be a Falcon squeaker. That slant to the Falcons TE giving them a TD with about 30 seconds to play did it. The Panthers were unable to answer that score. 2 - 4
Denver at Kansas City.............. 27 - 11 Broncos. I still hate the Broncos. Chiefs lost their QB in the third quarter... and four turnovers pretty much had the Chiefs shooting themselves in the foot. 2 - 5
Cleveland at Pittsburgh .............. 28 - 31 Steelers. Though I love my Steelers they were a sorry lot today. They played far below their potential and as I feared they walked out overconfident and just barely won this game. The Browns are for real... but how real remains yet to be seen since the Steelers never really tested them as I had hoped. Big Ben did manage to run for more yards than the entire Browns offense... though that is not saying much. Special teams gave up a return for a TD in the fourth that kept the Brown's hopes alive. The Steelers failed to execute and nearly lost this game. Though the Steelers have locked up their division... and unless they vanish they have secured a spot in the playoffs.... if they don't get sharp and hungry again their post season play will be short lived. 3 - 5
My b-day is in the beginning of feb and I wanted to know is it wrong that I dont let my BF watch the superbowl if its on my b-day? (which it was for 2 years in a row!)
*weighs the options..... gf..... football.......gf..... football....... bye bye gf.*
FOOTBALL WOO HOOO!!!!
Unless of course you were great at sex. In that case you would be collared and have no actual say in the matter... though my halftime festivities would likely be much better than those televised. Then its back to the game.
dear lord....my bengals play sunday in the armpit stadium...pitts-burg
gee..you would think that a team that has won 5 superbowls would have a better stadium...
there you are..about time you showed up...
lol
can Y'all tell I hate football? just a game with a bunch of sweaty guys running around like chickens with their heads cut off, chasing after a funky shaped looking pointy ball....
Steelers @ Patriots
Holy Moley!!! If both teams play up to full potential, be ready for some smashmouth football!!! The Patriots are weak in their rush defense. Parker can exploit this especially if he breaks through into the secondary. As long as the Steelers can rush... they can control the clock. Keep the Patriots offense off the field and they will not be able to score. Need to watch Coach B and crew naturally since they are known cheats... but hopefully they will coach a game straight up. Injuries plague the Steelers this season. We need to get healthy before the post season hits. Look for some possible Steeler records this week. I figure Big Ben will either come out throwing for a quick lead or try to systematically take apart the defense with the running game. But face it... when you talk Steeler football... you have got to shut down the running game or Pittsburgh will hurt you bad!!! Watch out for Ward. When Parker gets tired, Ward will just keep smiling as he uses those great hands of his. I have to root for my Steelers. The Pats are due for a loss and if the Steelers play with heart... that loss may come this week. GO STEELERS!!!
Rams @ Bengals
I hate to say it, but I have to go with the Bengals. They will need to take an early lead and keep racking up yardage to Johnson and Houshmawhateverthefuck (SP?) if they expect to win. Their defense is pretty bad and their secondary... well... if not for Hall... would be non-existant. Still... if they keep their head in the game and strike early they can do it. Blitz and keep the Rams off balance with Witherspoon. Expect him to be faced with as muchstopping power as possible. Both teams are still dreaming of a playoff shot but it seems an outside chance at best either will make it. The Rams are comming off a home field win against the Falcons and will be riding that high. The Bengals are comming off a loss to the Steelers and just might be looking to try and gain back some degree of respect. They have talent... they just can't seem to play as a team. Maybe they will do it this week. Go Bengals!
Raiders @ Packers
Normally I would say the Packers without hesitation. Now it depends on just how well Favre's arm has come along since banging it up against Dallas. If he is unable to play well and hang in the game... the situation may be in doubt. Still... I will have to go with the Packers.
Cowboys @ Lions
Cowboys. The Lions need to break their losing streak but right now everything seems to be going right for Romo and Co... and the Romo Ownes show will likely continue since the Lion's pass defense sucks so back they could take lessons from elementary school kids playing monkey in the middle. Watch for some Cowboy records this week!
Buccaneers @ Texans
Hard to say. These two have only played one another one time prior to this game. The Bucs won that one. With Garcia out and a strong "maybe" for this game... The Bucs will be my choice. Even if he doesn't play.... McCowen (SP?) doesn't look too bad and can still likely pull off the win. But as they say... "On any given day..." If the Texan are hot and want it bad enough, look out Bucs.
Dolphins @ Bills
Bills. The Dolphins are still looking for their first win of the season. The Bills are playing to keep their playoff hopes alive. Who wants it more?
Chargers @ Titans
This should be a good game. The Chargers face a tough defense here and if they expect to win they will have to take to the air. The Titans want some payback for their last lost to the Chargers. I may regret it... but I will have to go with the Titans.
Panthers @ Jaguars
Jags. I just don't think the Panthers have what it will take this year. The Panthers can control the pass... so the Jags will have to run.
Giants @ Eagles
I think McNabb returns this week. Hopefully his social security benefits will come through so he can get off the field. I look for McNabb to play until they start losing and when he realises he can't pull it off himself he will "aggrivate" his injuries and Feely will have to come in. The Giants are my pick in this matchup.
Cardinals @ Seahawks
Both teams can certainly pass. This game will be won on the ground. The Cards are hot right now so I will have to go with them on a longshot this week.
Vikings @ 49ers
Vikings. I may be wrong... but I have to wonder if the 49ers will even score unless its a FG.
Browns @ Jets
I gotta go with the Browns. The Pumpkin heads have a hot QB in Anderson and they are doing great racking up the passing yards taking defensive secondaries apart. They are still hopefulls for post season play but the Jets are done and are pretty much playing for honor's sake at this point. I would like to see Winslow break a thousand yards receiving this week.
Chiefs @ Broncos
I look for the Chiefs to throw and the Broncos to run. This may give the Broncos a slight edge on both counts offensively. Looking at the defense... the Chiefs seem to have the advantage. The Bronos suck bigtime against the run. Home field advantage will play a part in this game. I hate Denver but will have to go with them this week.
Colts @ Ravens
Colts. Ravens are on a death-slide losing streak. They are due for a win... but not against Manning and Co. That would be a major upset.
Steelers @ Patriots
Holy Moley!!! If both teams play up to full potential, be ready for some smashmouth football!!! The Patriots are weak in their rush defense. Parker can exploit this especially if he breaks through into the secondary. As long as the Steelers can rush... they can control the clock. Keep the Patriots offense off the field and they will not be able to score. Need to watch Coach B and crew naturally since they are known cheats... but hopefully they will coach a game straight up. Injuries plague the Steelers this season. We need to get healthy before the post season hits. Look for some possible Steeler records this week. I figure Big Ben will either come out throwing for a quick lead or try to systematically take apart the defense with the running game. But face it... when you talk Steeler football... you have got to shut down the running game or Pittsburgh will hurt you bad!!! Watch out for Ward. When Parker gets tired, Ward will just keep smiling as he uses those great hands of his. I have to root for my Steelers. The Pats are due for a loss and if the Steelers play with heart... that loss may come this week. GO STEELERS!!!
Saints @ Falcons (Monday Night)
I look for a Saint's win... if Brees quits throwing picks. If the Falcons win... it will be an upset.
49ers took the Bengals 20 - 13
Texans took the Broncos 31 - 13
Sunday Matchups
Titans @ Chiefs
The Chiefs are a spoiler team after being eliminated from any playoff hopes. The Titans need to win and the Browns need to lose in order for the Titans to win the final playoff birth in the AFC. The Chiefs usually have the Titans number... but this time I have to go with the Titans for the win.
Ravens @ Dolphins
The Ravens should win this... if the have gotten rid of the fumblitus affliction. Neither team will have post season play. They both just play for honor now with the Dolphins still looking for their first win of the season. I have to go with the Ravens.
Jets @ Patriots
Bad blood here. Mangini had Belichick nailed for cheating using video to record signals. No matter what the Pats do... this season will always be looked upon as the season they were busted for cheating. Even if they go all the way again.... there is always the shadow hanging over their heads that they cheated to get there. At any rate... I have to go with the Pats.
Bills @ Browns
This should be a good game!!! Both teams want payoff births... only one will get it. Home field advantage goes to the browns... but will it be enough? The Browns need a win and the Titans to lose.... the Bills need a win to be in the running for a wildcard shot. The Browns been looking really good. I will pick the Browns to win.
Seahawks @ Panthers
Seahawks. Panthers are only playing for honor now and the Hawks are trying for a bye in the first round of post season play.
Cardinals @ Saints
Both teams stand at 6 - 7. Both teams are one game out in the NFC. Both teams need to win and the loser will be out of the post season chance unless alot of miracles happen. I have to go with the Cards.
Falcons @ Buccaneers
If the Bucs win... a home field playoff game is theirs. I am going with the Bucs.
Packers @ Rams
Packers all the way in this one. Packers are in the playoffs. All they do now is improve their playoff stance with a possible bye if some other things happen across the league. Rams are out of post season contention.
Jaguars @ Steelers
This could go either way. Jags are playing some ball. Last week against the Pats, the Steelers might as well have picked fricking daisies in the end zone and held a knitting circle at the sideline because they certainly didn't come out to play football the second half. I like to think my Steelers are setting the Pats up for a major upset when they meet in the Bowl... but I just don't know. Steelers haven't been playing good... haven't been looking good... and judging from the injuries they aren't feeling good. Still... I have to go with my beloved Steelers. Steelers are in the playoffs if they win and the Browns lose. If the Titans lose and the Jags win... they are in the playoffs.
Colts @ Raiders
Colts can secure a playoff position several different ways depending on how other teams play. Certainly with a win. I don't think they have to worry with so many possibilities. The Raiders... spoilers. Colts will win.
Lions @ Chargers
Lions are a longshot at the playoffs while the Chargers can clinch the AFC West if they win. I have to go with the Chargers.
Eagles @ Cowboys
Cowboys. Nuff said. Cowboys are in the playoffs. All they are doing now is trying to improve their stance. If a few different things happen... they can nail down the home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs!
Redskins @ Giants
The Redskins are hanging in there week by week for a playoff shot. They lose... they are done. Giants win... they are in. I have ti go with the Giants.
Bears @ Vikings (Monday Game)
Vikings need a win to stay in the running for a wildcard. Not sure about the Bears. I think they are out of the running for post season play. If the Vikings can protect and avoid the sack they will win. I'll take the Vikings.
whats a steelers?Five Steelers Selected to the 2008 Pro Bowl Squad
Steelers @ Rams (Thursday Game)
The Rams are playing spoiler and have no chance of post season Play. The Steelers need a win badly in order to stay in the running after a two game losing streak. Hopefully my Steelers will show up to play somefootball instead of smelling the flowers and holding a knitting circle on the sidelines. What can I say.... I am a Steeler Fan. Go Steelers!!!
Cowboys @ Panthers (Sat Game)
The Panthers are a longshot for the playoffs and will have to be perfect in play and have many other things fall into place. The Cowboys need a win to keep pace with the Packers. I have to go with Dallas for the win.
Browns @ Bengals
The Bengals are only spoilers. No playoffs for them this year. The Browns are in good shape sharing the division with the Steelers... though in a tiebreaker the Steelers win out... so the Browns are looking for that wildcard. I have to go with the Browns.
Chiefs @ Lions
Both these teams are playing for pride. Neither has any playoff shot. Both teams have been on a bad losing streak... so this will be a game of bad vs bad. I will pick the Lions.
Texans @ Colts
Texans are out of playoff contention and the Colts are locked into the playoffs.It really makes no difference who wins this game except for the pride category. Colts should win this one easy.
Packers @ Bears
The Packers and Favre are hot! The Packers and the Cowboys are each looking for the homefield advantage in the playoffs. I have very lil doubt the Packers will take the Bears.
Giants @ Bills
The Bills are out of the playoff race with last weeks loss to the Browns. The Giants need a win this week to clinch a playoff spot before they have to face the Patriots. I pick the Giants to pull off a win.
Raiders @ Jaguars
Raiders are out and the Jags need a win to stay in the race for the fifth spot in the AFC and the playoffs. Jags should have this one in the bag if they just play smart ball.
Eagles @ Saints
The Eagles are out and the Saints need a win and a few other things to happen in order to reach the playoffs. This could go either way... but I will take a chance on the Saints.
Buccaneers @ 49ers
The Bucs are locked in to the playoffs and the 49ers are out. Either way this game goes does not affect either of their post season standings. Gotta go with the Bucs here.
Falcons @ Cardinals
Both these teams are only playing for pride. Neither will see the playoffs. Cards should pull off the win.
Dolphins @ Patriots
Patriots are already in the playoffs and the Dolphins never even got a sniff this year. Patriots want a perfect season and the Dolphins want to stop that from happening so their 1972 team can remain the only team to go undefeated and without a tie in regular season play. The Pats should win this one.
Ravens @ Seahawks
The Ravens are already out and the Seahawks have their division and a trip to the playoffs. Seahawks should win if they keep focused.
Jets @ Titans
The Jets are out and the Titans are looking like they are out also. Both teams will be playing for pride. Look for a Titans win.
Redskins @ Vikings
Big game here! Both teams are fighting for the last wildcard in the NFC. Skins lose and they are done. I think the Vikings may just pull off a win.
Broncos @ Chargers (Monday Game)
Broncos are out and the Chargers want a win to retain their number three slot for the playoffs. Chargers should pull off a win.
Steelers @ Rams (Thursday Game)
The Rams are playing spoiler and have no chance of post season Play. The Steelers need a win badly in order to stay in the running after a two game losing streak. Hopefully my Steelers will show up to play somefootball instead of smelling the flowers and holding a knitting circle on the sidelines. What can I say.... I am a Steeler Fan. Go Steelers!!!

Broncos @ Chargers (Monday Game)
Broncos are out and the Chargers want a win to retain their number three slot for the playoffs. Chargers should pull off a win.
Patriots @ Giants
Both teams are locked in for the playoffs so there is really nothing at stake here but the Pat's perfect season. I would personally like to see the cheaters come all this way this season and then have their dream of a perfect season crushed. Unfortunately.... I don't see the Giants doing it unless the gme is an upset. I have to go with the cheating Pats.
Seahawks @ Falcons
Nothing really at stake here either. Seahawks are in and the Falcons are out. I will take the Seahawks.
Saints @ Bears
The Saints still have a shot at the playoffs if they win and a couple other things happen. But... their offense has stalled out as of late and the Bears, even though they are out of the playoffs, are a sleeper team as the Packers discovered last week. The Bers are riding that upset high... and the Saints will have to be able to run the ball in order to win. This should be a good close game to watch if both teams have all cylinders firing. I will have to go with the Bears in this one.
Bengals @ Dolphins
Nothing happening here. Both teams are out of the playoffs and are playing strictly for honor and practise. Look for a Bengal win.
Lions @ Packers
Lions are out and the Packers are in. Nothing is going to change that. After last weeks fiasco against the Bears, the Packers need to get their heads on straight and get back in the game. No better way to do that in my opinion than to hand the Lions a serious smackdown. I will take the Packers.
Jaquars @ Texans
Nothing here either. Jags are in and the Texans are out. Look for the Jag defense to hold the Texans to a minimum once again while they exploit both the pass and the running game. I don't think the Texans can stop the Jag rushing game. Jags will win.
Panthers @ Buccaneers
Nothing at stake here either. Panthers are out and the Bucs are in. I think the Bucs will win.
Bills @ Eagles
Nothing being risked in this game. Both teams are out. However... this should be a good game. Both teams are 7 - 8 and both want to at least finish the season with an 8 - 8 split. I have to go with the Eagles to win though.
49ers @ Browns
Nothing either team does here will have an impact on their playoff bids. 49ers are out and the Browns live or die depending on how the Titans do against the Colts. If they win the Browns are out. If the Browns show up and play NFL football they will win. If they come in playing their usual mistake by the lake quality game they will get their butts handed to them. Hopefully they will play so I can maintain my winning predictions. Browns should win.
Steelers @ Ravens
The Ravens are already done and the Steelers already locked up their Division but seek a better seed in the playoffs but that rests solely upon the Chargers losing this week. What the Steelers do have in their control is needing to take this win and use it as momentum going into the playoffs. My beloved Steelers haven't been playing up to their potential and this gives me cause for concern. They aren't healthy and losing lil Willie Parker doesn't help much even though others have stepped up. Look for a Steeler win even if it is not pretty.
Chargers @ Raiders
The Raiders are out and the Chargers are in. But the Chargers also seek a better seed and this rests on a Steeler loss. Aside from all that... look for a Charger win.
Cowboys @ Redskins
This will be interesting. The Cowboys are in, but the Skins are still battling for a playoff berth. They need to win... or... have the Saints and the Vikings lose this week to get in. Right niw the Skins are on a hot streak and this game could go either way if both teams are playing their best. Look for the Cowboys to play more backups than starters. After all... why risk when you don't have to, and this may give the backups some playing time in case needed in the playoffs. Expect the Skins to come out with everything they got. Also remember... this is a classic rivalry matchup and anything can happen!!! I will buck the system again and say the Skins will win.
Rams @ Cardinals
Nothing at stake here. Both teams are out. Look for a Card win.
Vikings @ Broncos
Broncos are done but the Vikings need a win and for the Skins to lose. Look for the Vikings to work the run against the Bronco's weak defense. The Bronco's will need to capitalise on the pass if they want to win. I will take the Vikings to win.
Chiefs @ Jets
Both teams suck... neither will see the playoffs. I figure the Jets will win the battle of the suckies.
Titans @ Colts
Colts are in... but the Titans hold their fate entirely in their own hands. They win and they are in. They lose and the Browns are in. I will have to buck the system and go with the Titans for the win.
Sorry boys and girls, but the Redskins didn't have a snowballs chance in hell to win that game... Yes, they were on a winning streak, yes they were strong in the end, and they had the power of Sean Taylor behind them, but they just didn't have enough to push through and win the game... My favorite NFC team won... the Seahawks...
Smiles as I agree with Rags.. Justice was definately served, I am so happy, even now when i think of it, and how The coward of a coach couldnt wait one second..... to leave the field.... hahahahha that will teach him to cheat..
