PrintI am in Scottsdale AZ for the weekend and plan on watching these games a few local establishments, so if any of you have an idea on where to watch the games, please let me know.
The Saints and Seahawks will be kicking off at 4:30 Eastern Time on Fox and on paper this looks like a blow-out waiting to happen. Curently, the Saints are a -10.5 favorite or -600 on the money line while the under over is only 44. That means that the pros think this will likely be a 28-17 game, but, I don't see it even being that close.
Matt Hasselbeck will be starting for Seattle, but, I just don't see the Hawks running game being able to get going which means that Matt will be exposed to a fierce pass rush all day and 12th man in Seattle or not, I se the score being closer to 42-10, than 28-17.
New Orleans will be missing Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory, so look for a lot of spread offense and for Reggie Bush to get over 20 touches today.
The game that most interests me today is the battle between the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts. This has all the makings of a classic AFC battle.
In this rematch of Super Bowl III, you have the young pretty boy from New York going against the savvy veteran who knows how to win. Sound familiar? Well it should!
The line may look a bit surprising as the Colts are 2.5 point favorites. But don't be fooled. The Colts are better than everyone thinks and the media darling Jets are worse than everyone thinks.
I see the Colts winning this game in the final minutes by 4 points. I just think that Payton Manning has been on a hot streak lately and he has found ways to win games in the final minutes. I don't expect tonight's game to be any different. The over under is currently 44.5.
Well Raider fans, let's hope and pray that Al Davis has his plan in place. I have said this once and will say it again, "Directly from the horses mouth, JON GRUDEN said that he would come back to coach the Oakland Raiders in a heart beat. All Al has to do is ask." AD has eaten crow before and has admitted that he tried to concel the deal after he traded Gruden to Tampa, but couldn't retract it. Chucky may be back in Oakland. If it isn't Hue, then, it's Chucky. Either way, i am looking for one of them to get this organization in position to be in this post season thread next season.
Cheers,
Saint

Go Colts!
so sick of the Jets fans and fat ass Rex Ryan they need to stfu and if they can’t beat the Colts today with half their team missing pretty much after proclaiming there the best team bla bla bla…he will need to stfu forever…really really can’t stand the Jets
LETS GO RED WINGS!
2011 will be the year....better be....
Troy Tulowitzki: "When people think of the Rockies, I want them to think of a winning organization."
I had not heard that Al ever expressed any remorse over his trading Gruden
to Tampa. I knew that Gruden has always maintained that he’d love to return to the Silver and Black, he loves the fans and we love him right back. But I have never heard Grudens terms under which he would return, and wonder if they’d be to much for Al. I know one of the terms is that Al would have to make the gesture. Jon’s said all he’s gonna say about it already in the local press, Al would have to reach out to him to get the ball rolling and who knows if that hasn’t already happened. That is interesting news and gives me some hope that the old man is really interested in the team, more than being right.
JUST DOMINATE BABY !!!
My very reliable source confirmed all of it
Al went back and brought Shell back, why not Chucky?

I think it's always fun to watch a team win against the odds when everybody writes them off.

I don't like the Seahawks.

If Al is serious about
taking the team through the playoffs to the Superbowl, he’d bring back Grudy.
It would definitely shock the world
Gruden still refers to the Raiders as ‘we’ on television

Sapp was a cancer from the start
I Can’t stand that selfish ass, I think his negativity was as big a part of the problem during his time here as anything else

Tell me that
if a Raiders WR pushed off on the CB the way Edwards did on the last play before the game winning kick, that they wouldn’t get flagged for it. Obvious, obvious push off.
Don't shoot, I'm a man.
If only yall knew how the Saint fans been overlooking the seahawks all week long...
The Saint went into this game with same attitude these Saint fans have. Now..lol..now im picking up “Who Dat” flag up off the ground all over Biloxi and have been using them to wipe my ass with (figuratively speaking of course). Other than my team going .500 watching the Saints get beat was as orgasmic as having my girl scratch my back with her nail! OMG!!! If only you were here on the gulf coast, put your hand to your ears and if you listen close, you could almost hear a rat piss on cotton. Almost!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Fuck You Saint fans. I could care less who wins the Super Bowl now, as long as it aint them im a happy man!
