	Are You Ready for Some Football - Week 6 Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

The other one was in the 400's, so time for a new thread.

Some good match ups this week.

The Bears need a victory or the season is truely over, and so does Washington. Both teams have their fair share of problems. But at least the Bears are actually favored by a point:

NFL week 6
Sunday, Oct. 17th
BUFFALO 5½ Miami 30½
N.Y. JETS 10 San Francisco 42½
NEW ENGLAND 4 Seattle 42
PHILADELPHIA 9 Carolina 41½
CLEVELAND 3 Cincinnati 41
DETROIT 2 Green Bay 44½
CHICAGO 1 Washington 33
TENNESSEE 6½ Houston 46
ATLANTA 4½ San Diego 42
Kansas City 2½ JACKSONVILLE 44
DALLAS 3 Pittsburgh 38½
Denver 1½ OAKLAND 42
Minnesota 3½ NEW ORLEANS 52
Monday, Oct. 18th
ST. LOUIS 6 Tampa Bay 42½

The New England/Seattle game should be a good one...
Green Bay needs to beat Detroit, or it could be a long season for them...
Minny needs to prove they can win on the road...
Is Phily really 9 points better than Carolina...
Dallas gets to defend their home turf against an improving Steeler team...
And can Tampa Bay win two in a row in the Monday Nite matchup against high scoring St. Louis...

ARE YOU
READY FOR SOME
FOOTBALL

Not a chance. The Rams should be favored by much more. This should be the first game that the Rams stop the run. TB has nothing of a running game to speak off. The Rams will win this one by at least 20 points.

On the left is the favored team, on the right, the underdog.

The number at the the end is the over/under......how many points scored in the game.

ACK!

What about the number in the middle?

CHICAGO 1 Washington 33

This means that Chicago is favored by one point over Washington. Chicago is home because they're in caps. The 33 is the over/under spread.

I just think what a difference it might have made with Grossman in the game... Quinn did indeed suck.

The number in the middle is the point spread. The number at the end is how many points are predicted to be scored.

Da bears had as many 3-and-outs as they had points.

I know... there were many times the receivers were WIDE open, and Quinn couldn't hit them... it was sad. And even with that moron in there, they were still in the game. What a difference Grossman could have made... sigh...

I have to say that Jones looked spectacularly good.

Detroit looked crappy. Two loses at home now. They might actually suck. Green Bays defense is pretty bad and the Lions couldn't do much against them. I think they said on the TV that they only got 5 first downs or something.

Conversely Houstan was looking good again. Carr and Johnson are making a good team. Johnson has skills.

actually a good move by CBS switching from that snoozer Denver/Oakland game and going to Pittsburgh/Dallas. Quite a game.

Old Vinny fumbles, but it wasn't his fault (his running back hit the ball)

Pittsburgh now takes the lead!

the bears already lost. they suck big time (as usual)

Culpepper throws an interception. Maybe I have a chance after all . I don't like getting my hopes up.

He's the #1 fantasy scorer. Even over my QB- Peyton Manning, who unfortunately has a bye week this week.

Well, say what you like, but as a Bronco Plummer is 14-4.

Sure they can make the playoffs. But Griese made the playoffs as well. The whole point was to go deep in the playoffs and try to get back to the superbowl.

I won't be convinced until they reach the AFC championship game.

Convinced of what?

Championship game would make them a top 4 team, which is pretty harsh judgement.

Plus Denver is #1 in total defense, #2 in points allowed.
