What a week in the NFL! A fistfight between Brady Quinn and a teammate, a very angry (ok maybe just embarassed Lions coach), and to top matters off, a Jets defensive lineman and fan snowball fight!
That's the most emotion the Jets managed all game in their 10-3 disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks....
Out in Detroit, Coach Marinelli, whose daughter is married to his defensive coordinator, was asked by a reporter if he wished his daughter had done better! Ouch! It does make you wonder--why hire a relative that you most certainly have to fire?
That's one Christmas dinner the Top would like to avoid.
And our old pal, Brady Quinn, gets a beatdown in the weight room from a defensive end. Another shocker--why fight someone BIGGER than you?
Crazy all the way around.
It was an impossible weekend. The Patriots put an utter beating on the Cardinals in a complete snowstorm defying all theories of over/under betting. (See Cincinnati and NY Jets, however). The Broncos manage to piss it away and put themselves in an away must win situation. New Orleans takes a knee with 2 minutes to go and screws the over. The Giants game is a shootout, and Atlanta goes on the road and beats one of the hottest team in the NFC, the Vikings.
Good Lord! Put that parlay ticket down!
This does, of course, set up an awesome week with at least four DO or DIE games--
Cowboys at Eagles
Broncos at Chargers
New England at Buffalo
Miami at NY
You couldn't ask for much better!
There isn't a lot happening today, unless you want to sneak up on another unpredictable segment of the sports world--College Bowl Games.....
The Pointsettia Bowl
TCU Horned Frogs at Boise State
TCU-3
Over/Under 46
San Diego, California, 8pm
Sounds obvious, right? Undefeated Boise State against TC who? Look again--TCU has lost 2 games all year--Utah by 3 points and a 35-10 loss at Oklahoma. They have a strength of schedule that ranks 20 notches higher than Boise. They have the number 2 defense in D-1 and the best against the run!
Clearly with the line set as is, the world is expecting a close physical game. And Boise State can be controlled (relatively). The question for us is: will Boise State be able to stop TCU? We think not.
We like the over. And we like TCU.
Boring stuff we know, but you gotta be in it to win it!
Happy Hunting--
Go Stuff!
