LedZeppfan77 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think if there was a game where the Raiders might sneak up on someone, it may be tonight--or it could be the game with the Bills (I know Rick probably doesn't want to hear that).... With the Bills it may depend on where they are when it comes. If they beat the Jets and Cleveland they would non doubt still be in the conversation. We split with Miami and only because the refs did us in on that safety and pass interference. In my mind we are better than Miami, in the trench's and on D for sure. The QB position is debatable. We still may finish ahead of your team. That last game should have been ours. We will bury the Raiders if we are still alive. Raiders are not as bad as their record I am sure. They may win tonight. Not as good as KC but its the nature of the beast. The NFL is so unpredictable, just look at last week's scores. The Rams are a team on the rise. I would have picked them to win that division had Bradford not been injured before the season. Now they are starting to show that they are Ram tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am cheering for them to go all the way to the Super Bowl and win it as long as by some miracle Buffalo is not on the other side. Go Lions.

Andrew Cuomo saying it would be "impractical" for the Buffalo Bills to host the New York Jets as scheduled on Sunday, given the heavy snow that has hit the area, the NFL is apparently considering moving the game to another city.The three sites under consideration are Detroit, Washington D.C. and Pittsburgh, according to the New York Post. In that scenario, the game would be played on Monday.http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/bills-jets-game-may-move-to-monday-at-one-of-three-neutral-sites-191510264.htmlIf this happens, it doesn't look like home field advantage incentive. Could change the odds of the outcome. Isn't home field like 3 points on the odds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apantherfrommd Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Oakland (its going to happen, why not here and now. Chiefs likely fat and overconfident after win over Seattle) Holy smokes!

LedZeppfan77 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Holy smokes! You shoulda kicked me in the butt by pm and told me "What the hell are you doing, Andy" Rick, Congratulations on the Thursday night ballziest pick of the season! Thanks. I know I am the only one that picked the Raiders. Have watched this game since the 60's and know that Murphy's law always applies. Strider, what the hell? Your team bro. I stand alone. Buffalo and Jets is off the board in Vegas. Wonder if the Bills will still be 4 pt favorites? Doubt it. Could not practice for one thing. I do not have a clue if they have flown to Detroit yet?

Strider Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 ^^^ Missed the game as well as missing the pick haha. Actually KB, I was kind of hoping for 0-16 season for the Raiders. Something historically bad that would force a total overhaul. I'm not sold on Reggie McKenzie as GM and definitely not sold on Tony Soprano as head coach.

Strider Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 You'll be sleeping with the fishes for making that comment! Yep...me and Abe Vigoda, What surprises are in store for us this week? Thursday Nov. 20 Kansas City...and it's the wrong one boyo. Raiders blew their chance at history. Sunday Nov. 23 Atlanta Philadelphia New England Green Bay Indianapolis Houston...it really doesn't matter who I pick in this game...whichever team I pick, the opposite will happen. Buffalo...more weirdness. I'm giving Buffalo another shot...only because the Jets truly stink. Chicago Seattle...Seattle's season is on the line...the next two games are must-wins. San Diego...I came close to picking the Rams against Denver last week but didn't have the guts to pull the trigger like Rick did. Still not sold on them out of their dome. Denver...I don't think Miami can exploit Denver's defense like the Rams did. San Francisco Dallas...this pick scares me, but like the Jets, the Giants are stinking up New York/New Jersey. Monday Nov. 24 New Orleans...come on Saints, win one for Bret! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 We are heading into the home-stretch of the season, folks. Time is running out for making up serious ground on the leaders. It is going to call for some gutsy picking...going against the grain of conventional wisdom. Two items of note: 1) The bye weeks are over...we are back to full 16-game schedules! 2) THREE GAMES ON THANKSGIVING DAY!!!! Week 13 Schedule (ooooh, will this be an unlucky week? ) Thursday Nov. 27 (Happy Thanksgiving Football Day!) Chicago @ Detroit Philadelphia @ Dallas Seattle @ San Francisco Sunday Nov. 30 Washington @ Indianapolis Tennessee @ Houston Cleveland @ Buffalo San Diego @ Baltimore New York Giants @ Jacksonville Cincinnati @ Tampa Bay Oakland @ St. Louis New Orleans @ Pittsburgh Carolina @ Minnesota Arizona @ Atlanta New England @ Green Bay Denver @ Kansas City Monday Dec. 1 Miami @ New York Jets (Who at NFL headquarters thought the Jesters were fit for prime-time tv?!?)

paul carruthers Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It feels good to join the winner's circle. Hopefully I have another good week in me... Detroit Dallas (A big game, to say the least. Are the Boys truly ready for big game pressure situations?) San Francisco Indianapolis Houston Buffalo (Here I go, picking the Bills again ) Baltimore New York Giants (What a game *gag*) Cincinnati St. Louis Pittsburgh (As up and down the Steelers have been, this is one they probably lose) Carolina (Another contest between 2 mutts) Arizona Green Bay (Is Aaron Rodgers better than Tom Brady?) Denver Miami (The Jets certainly seem to get a lot of these primetime games. I'm with you Sean--it baffles me too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
