I was so excited for tygrkhat for getting a clean sweep. I decided to give them our receiver.

A magnanimous gesture Motorboater, merci.

I dunno Brian, I like that green on the Jets better than their usual green, which is visible in the middle of the shoulder stripe. And the green chrome logo, stripes and facemask were really slick.

tygerkhat40 at least has the comfort of knowing that the Bills are better than the Raiders.

And that his team is not absconding to Las Vegas.

That's assuming that the deal goes through. They have until next June to sign off on everything, or UNLV automatically becomes the organization in charge of the stadium.

Meanwhile, once again we can hear, off in the distance, the insane cackle of Trent Baalke, ensconced in his heavily fortified mountain lair.

For the second week in a row, we have a winner before MNF, and it's LaughingBoy, who currently stands at 9-3. So let's all have a big chuckle for LaughingBoy's second win!

Congrats to LaughingBoy. The Raiders and Dolphins put me to sleep in early in the second quarter. It is only now that I discovered that the two teams had banded together to mess me up again.

The Raiders could finish anywhere between 10-6 (playing to potential) and 6-10 (playing like they often have). I'll guess 7-9.

The Dolphins remaining schedule doesn't give much hope for this inept offense sneaking into the playoffs. If the do, so what? They won't last long.

Currently, the 49ers own the #1 pick in the 2018 draft, but the Browns are hot on their heels and the Giants can't be counted out.

No one is more surprised than me!

This was a really tough week to pick... the Football Gods are a capricious lot!

Guess all those Single Malts I sacrificed to 'em last week really payed off!

Bye Week
Oakland Can't screw me up this week.

Are the judges betting on Dallas? What will they do this week? This is it, Niners - win or look at 0-16. This is it Giants - lose this and McAdoo is toast.

Games I don't like: Jets at Tampa, Seattle at Arizona, Minnesota at Washington, Giants at SF, Dallas at Atlanta, Miami at Carolina, Chargers at Jacksonville. Too much "On Any Given Sunday" in these games. Ah well, I am probably buried in the standings by now.
