How about those Broncos?! There goes Telbow again. The whole game was eh. Then the last five minutes, there's a 95 yard drive, and he runs 20 yards for the winning touchdown.

Edit: I should say the offense was eh. For both teams, really. Denver's defense had some great stops and a really good interception/fumble recovery.

Tebow still has a lot to prove. As long as his fans continue to spell his name wrong, it's hard to take him seriously.

1)  That play where he decides whether he's going to hand the ball off to the running back or keep it and run.

That's the read option.

The read option, huh?

They make it sound more complicated than it really is, don't they?

Chicago Fucking Bears. 5-0 since loss on Monday Night vs Detroit. Devastated Detroit last week. Unplugged the Chargers tonight. If they can beat Oakland, they will sweep their division and have a good possibility of going 13-3 or 12-4 this season as Greenbay may be their only potential loss. Granted, this is IF they keep playing so well.

I feel like an outcast in life by being a Jags fan...Though I have a very strong feeling if MJD leaves them I will lose all hope and go to my second team (Ravens) as my new fandom.


Jack Del Rio should have been fired a long time ago. Get rid of him and then we can talk about building a team.

It's essentially the base play of the Florida-style spread attack. Look at Tebow and Cam Newton in college, they ran a near identical offense.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!! Cutler is probably out for the season!!! I guess I just might eat my words now. Funny how one accident will change something so dramatically. C'mon Hanie, step up and finish this season winning!

Missed all the games because I was out snowboarding, but it looks like I did bad in predictions this week. No matter the Broncos won.

Amp good predictions!

Oh and Rol if you ever take a break from Zelda you might update the prediction chart so trash talking can commence and when I say that I mean trash talking from Amp.



The coin toss is kind of boring without the bet. I probably will have to start making real predictions because I would have done better.

Wish Oakland lost as Denver already played them twice, but at least San Diego lost so they might feel unmotivated next week as their playoff hopes have diminished. Probably, it will still be a tough game as they look to spoil the Broncos chances.

Hoping the Packers lose to the Lions only because I do not want them to have a perfect season. They seem like they are a high scoring team that could match the pack. That game will be good.



 

Why am I so bad at predicting? At least I was more accurate than the coin tosses this week. The result of the Monday Night game won't change the rankings, because everyone picked New England.

 

I wouldn't call it bad as if the Boston Patriots win then everyone is t or above .500 . This weak had most of the best teams facing bad teams and it was fairly more predictable. Last week had more evenly matched games and was harder to predict. Amp getting almost perfect is surprising. He should of bet money on it.



Car 35 Det 49 The Lions have a nice bounce back victory after their thrashing at the hands of the Bears.
Oak 27 Min 21 The Raiders hold on against the Vikings. The Vikings make a nice comeback, but come up short.
Buf 8 Mia 35 I told you guys that people figured out the Bills defense. Injuries didn't help either. It looks like the Dolphins may have found their QB. Moore has played well for them.
Dal 27 Was 24 OT Dallas is now in first place in the NFC East. What a crazy world we live in.
TB 26 GB 35 This is the first Packers game this year that I watched where Rodgers looked slightly off. It didn't matter though since they were more than good enough to beat the Bucs and remain undefeated.
Jac 10 Cle 14 I can't believe that the Browns record is as good as it is.
Cin 24 Bal 31 The Ravens win a big game without Ray Lewis. They should played all of their games in the AFC North.
Sea 24 StL 7 Thank God for the 49ers. If it weren't for them, the Seahawks would win the NFC West again.
Ari 7 SF 23 I can't believe that I am going to say this, but currently the 49ers are playing the best football in the league.
Ten 17 Atl 23 Hasselbeck gets hurt for the Titans and the Falcons squeak out the home win.
SD 20 Chi Chi 31 Jay Cutler breaks his thumb tackling someone on an interception that happened only because his receiver fell down. Ugh...
Phi 17 NYG 10 Maybe Vince Young should have been the QB all along. :p

Rol, You're bad at predicting games because you are European and know nothing about American football.  This explains why you cheer for a front runner like the Packers.

Chocoloco, we'll see how lucky I was next week.  It just took me a week to get into the groove.
