I can't get a break, damn!!!!!!!

5 points from going 7-4 today.

5-5 but I do have a Packer team that is 5-0-1ATS at home vs a Falcons team that is 1-5 ATS on the road.

The Vikes game is as if it never happened.

That Panthers vs Saints game, are you ing kidding?

The last three weeks, ya back...

Denver
Seattle
NE
Indy
GB

All thick in the playoff hunt (back them until they have done all they can as far as seeding goes)

play against

Washington
TB
Tenn
Jags

All wanting the season over as soon as possible.

That system went....6-2 today. Worst it can go...6-3.

[Avante]

Is there any QB in the league doing more for his team than Russell Wilson? What an amazing athlete this guy is, incredible!

How many turnovers did Andrrew Luck have today?

I give up on the Saints, what a weird team they are. Up then down then up then....sheesh~~~~~~

What a shame the Rams don't have a stud QB, this is a good young team that has played a brutal schedule and will continue to do so.

I talk about "spots", well we saw a classic one today....

The Raiders back at home after being totally embarrashed getting 8.5 from a team that can't score. Talk about e-z $$$$ there it was.

[Avante]

Maybe if they get to the playoffs, but without Ngata I would say they aren't top 10.

The Ravens could win out with Jax, Houston and Cleveland left, that gives them a 10-6 record. That should do it in the AFC.

[Avante]

Just saw the fist bump..........are you kidding me? We've come to making that a big deal now, wow! What is happening out there?

Last night a Pat smacks a Charger hard with a shoulder in his chest, this is football, yep....penalty. It's getting stupid how uptight everything is becoming. Who can forget....A GAY PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !...hahaha!!!!!

I'm all for SAFETY SAFETY at the HS/NCAA level, at the pro level it's now a business not unlike boxing/MMA/pro wrestling (don't laugh it's very dangerous). These guys know the risk.

Im just talking about right now.

During a regular season all these pro teams play to win their division, they keep up on where there are. That's why we see the ebb and flow, the ups and downs. It is funny watching some of you........THEY SUCK, haha!!! The Pats losing to the Chiefs who lost to the......winless Raiders?????????????? What does that tell us?

The Seahawks are now serious, the bull is over, it's time to get that home field advantage. And they do it the old fashion way, run the ball, don't up and play that monster D.

The Pats, Packers, Broncos and Seahawks on another level.

Russell Wilson...wow!!!!!! Ya know what puts him above Andrew Luck, he's not going to make that bonehead play.

[Avante]

I'm guessing Michael Sam is still looking for an NFL job, the Falcons could sure use a pass rush. What we saw last night was ridiculous at the pro football level.

[Avante]

Black QB's

Ohio State has three of them.

FSU...Jameis Winston

Alabama a black QB

UCLA, Georgia Tech, TCU, ND, Auburn, Marshall, all with black QB;s. Clemson has a black QB.

Where does the NFL get it's QB's?

Are you really this stupid...... Wow!

[Avante]

Are you really this stupid...... Wow!

A dumb like you calling others stupid, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Avante]

Cal could put together a pretty solid all star team.

QB..Aaron Rodgers
Rb...Marshawn Lynch/Justin Forsett
RB...Chuck Muncie/C.J.Anderson
TE...Tony Gonzalez
WR..Desean Jackson/Isaac Curtis...actually faster than Jackson, a 9.3 guy.
WR..Wesley Walker ....also faster than Jackson, 9.5 sprinter. (blind in one eye)

[Avante]

The ebb and flo of an NFL season, hmmmm?

Right now the St.Louis Rams are better than a lot teams with a better record. I have no problems...

GB/Sea
Philly
Dallas
St.Louis
Arizona
Detroit

...in the NFC. Too bad they aren't in the South.

[Avante]

Been into pro football since the early 60's, at no time have I ever been more intriqued by a players first start than I will tomorrow with Johnny Football. Bummer that I won't be seeing the game out here in Cali. Obviously will see/hear all about it aftewards.

If I'm Cleveland I do use his running ability as part of the offense. Letting Johnny know....don't push it, take what you can then bail".

This is going to be interesting.

i'm expecting a lot of play-action, bootlegs, rollouts, and read-options

That will work at any level of football if done right. Nobody does it right other than Seattle. It is suppose to be a weapon used to move the chains not gooble up big yards.

I just can't see Manziel suppressing his macho. If he 's a couple yards away from a 1st down he's going for it. Defenders love nothing more than knocking QB's out of a game.

Avante killing it

[Avante]

All do ented internet picks.

[Avante]

Avante killing it

Let's see...

56-46 plus $1860

Looking ahead to week 16

Those teams fighting for playoff positioning, is where my focus will be.

Seattle at Arizona, that defense vs a third string QB?

The Ravens vs a Texan team with who at QB?

The Bills vs the lowly Raiders?

Carolina at home vs a rookie QB at Cleveland.

Dallas still has to win, the Colts don't.

Detroit has to have it, the Bears are done.

The Packers coming off a loss vs a 2 and whatever TB team.

The Steelers at home vs a one trick pony Chiefs team.

The Pats vs Jets, seems too easy. The Pats - 21.5?

Eagles in a must win vs a Redskins team with QB problems.


Hmmmm?

[Avante]

Tom Brady covered
Peyton Manning covered
Aaron Rodgers didn't
Andrew Luck covered
Russell Wilson pushed
Big Ben covered

Hmmm?

As of right now it's looking like the Pats vs Seahawks in the SB.

The Packers don't have the D. The Cards don't have a QB. The Broncos won't beat the Pats there in the cold.

[Avante]

Andrew Luck vs Russell Wilson

Luck has a better arm, but he isn't the athlete that RW is and he doesn't play the game as intelligently as RW does. When Luck is moving the ball there is always that...."when does he throw that INT???"...we don't do that RW.

[spurraider21]

I'd take Luck 7 days a week and twice on Sundays. and you know i love Wilson
