We have the Thursday and Saturday games, I was hoping for the Packers @ the Bears, but we have the Vikings again, another three plus hours of how average Cousins really is, still Pats @ The Steelers should be interesting, especially with The Steelers on a three game losing streak. Eagles @ LA & MNF, a footballing feast.

My mistake.

I just noticed those 2 games are played on Saturday and not on Sunday.

The size of the lettering on that schedule banner is too small on screen.

I like also having some NFL games on Saturday.

Keeps me from getting bored.

Damn!

I wasn't expecting that.

The Los Angeles Chargers (10-3), down 28-14 in the 4th quarter, to score 2 TD in 4 minutes and then convert a 2 points conversion with 4 seconds left in the game to take the lead at 29-28 and beat the Kansas City Chiefs (11-2).

Now the AFC West is tied at 11-3 with the Chiefs and the Chargers and with this win, the Chargers have secured a playoff berth.

The Chargers have been pretty much ignored the entire season by the media, this win will probably change that, plus there is talk that the team will move back to San Diego,

when they never should have left in the first place.

It's gonna be really interesting seeing how empty that new stadium is gonna be even if the Rams are good/decent.

As much fun as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are, I haven't been able to see them as a championship team with that crappy defense. The Chargers just demonstrated why. Bad defense probably dooms the Steelers, too. The Bears and Rams have to be taken very seriously, as do the Saints who may play at home until the Super Bowl. But the Saints play Carolina twice with the Steelers in between. The Rams get the #1 seed if the Saints lose assuming they can beat the Eagles, Cardinals, and 49ers. I am suspicious of the Saints ability to beat quality teams on the road.

The Chargers are playing as well as any team in the NFL right now, but finish against the Ravens and in Denver. On the other hand, the Chiefs have to win in Seattle before hosting the Raiders.

One game that has slipped off the radar is the Cowboys at the Colts, with both wanting the win. Colts to keeping a trip to the play offs alive, while the Cowboys will want the win as regardless of what The Eagles do, they will claim the NFC East.

Should be a really excellent weekend.

Panthers lose 5 games in a row and are 7th in the NFC!

We can win the SB with a hot streak!

Not with the current state of Newton's shoulder and Olssen on sick leave.

MNF will be interesting though.

Mark Sanchez is available

Does anybody know what the georgraphical designation of the Raiders will be. As a UK Raiders fan for 25 years plus, the plus being misery, I have nine caps three shirts and two jackests. Of them all only a few say Oakland or L.A. Will it be Las Vegas Raiders, Nevada Raiders, Insert name of rich asshole who named the stadium Raiders?
