No. I’ll take a horseshoe if you’ve got one. Whatever happened to the UFC thread?

Please thank Jerry for taking this douchebag off of our hands https://boston.cbslocal.com/2019/10/24/patriots-trade-michael-bennett-to-cowboys/

[Bender2]

I have to say that considering how crackpot Martellus Bennett's time with my Boys went back in the day, Jerry would know better than to add another Bennett bro's 'crack' to the current pot.

However, that is above my pay grade--

And my work on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders's 2020 bikini photo shoot--

takes up... all of my time!

With those colors I thought they were Raiders fans.

[Rummyfan]

Well, the Thursday night game is in the books and I assume a one-hundred percent selection rate for it. No one took the 'Skins did they? Fortunately for those in the National Capitol area, baseball is front and center and distracting from the awfulness of the 'Skins. And the Wizards... On to the rest of this week's games!

Sunday, October 27, 2019

N.Y. Jets at Jacksonville 1:00 PM CBS TIAA Bank Field The Jets showed signs of life in beating the Cowboys, but Monday night brought them back to reality. Maybe Sam Darnold will see ghosts in Jacksonville too? Jaguars.

N.Y. Giants at Detroit 1:00 PM FOX Ford Field Daniel Jones has come back to earth after a brief soaring outing against Tampa Bay last month. And the Lions are actually pretty decent. Lions.

Philadelphia at Buffalo 1:00 PM FOX New Era Field I thought Philly would get it together against the 'Boys last week; instead it was their worst loss of the season. The Bills OTOH have a great D and an offense good enough to not give games away. Bills.

Seattle at Atlanta 1:00 PM FOX Mercedes-Benz Stadium A hiccup by the Seahawks last week against the Ravens. I don't understand how the Falcons can be so bad, but they are. Seahawks.

Tampa Bay at Tennessee 1:00 PM FOX Nissan Stadium How many turnovers will Jameis Winston have? And how much longer will Bruce Arians' patience last?! Regardless, I think TB has enough to beat TN. Bucs.

L.A. Chargers at Chicago 1:00 PM FOX Soldier Field Last year the Chargers pushed Kansas City for the division title. This year they have fallen apart. And the Bears still have that monster D. Bears.

Denver at Indianapolis 1:00 PM CBS Lucas Oil Stadium The hapless Broncos meet the surprising Colts. Surprise! The Colts win again. Colts.

Cincinnati "at" L.A. Rams 1:00 PM CBS Wembley Stadium (London, UK) The Rams have to travel all the way to London to get a win. Rams.

Arizona at New Orleans 1:00 PM CBS Mercedes-Benz Superdome With or without Drew Bress the Saints have proven they can win. And while Kyler Murray has shown he's for real, that won't be enough. Saints.

Carolina at San Fransciso 4:05 pm FOX Levi's Stadium Carolina is another team doing very well without its front-line QB. But the unbeaten Niners are emerging as a great team. Niners.

Cleveland at New England 4:25 pm CBS Gillette Stadium New England.... they get the Jets and the Browns back-to-back. They will feast on Cleveland too ... Patriots.

Oakland at Houston 4:25 pm CBS NRG Stadium Despite the fact that they've won a few, the Raiders are not that good, and Deshaun Watson and Company recover from last week's loss. Texans.

Green Bay at Kansas City 8:20 pm NBC Arrowhead Stadium This would have been a great match-up if Mahomes were healthy and playing. But Aaron Rodgers is clicking on all cylinders and the Pack is rolling. Packers.

Monday, October 28, 2019

Miami at Pittsburgh 8:15 pm ESPN Heinz Field Oh Gawd! Is this really the Monday night game?! The hapless winless Phish.... Steelers have plenty of assets to beat them. Steelers.

Good luck to All! Have a great weekend and.... Go Nationals!

Re: Please PM the contact info of the woman on the left!

Well, mad, they will all be at my place for the next two weeks... and their schedules do not give them much time off for signing autographs for drooling fans--

After that, you can visit them at the rest home out in Chatfield. But be forewarned that visiting hours are only 7PM to 8 PM.

[Bender2]

Re: With those colors... I thought they were Raiders fans.

Gadzooks, Rummy-- No quickie glances, you have to focus... focus, focus!

[mad_as_he$$]

I only need an hour, that will be fine!

There didn’t seem to be much interest, especially after ESPN took over for Fox Sports. I was getting single digit replies. ;-d

And no one ever even mentioned it until now. ;-D

I considered doing one for the last big fight (Cormier/Stipe rematch) but I lazed out.

[Major Matt Mason]

Bills on their way to a loss against the Eagles. The defense has been bad the past two games, so it will be interesting to see how the Bills do the rest of the way.

[RedMonqey]

One correction:

I have Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Tennessee Titans.

Mariotta or a Tannehill retread, I just don’t trust Tennessee

[circlecity]

Colts find a way to win.
