I have the one nearly absolute no-brainer team this week.

I guess not. I really thought they were going to go the other way. It's a long season yet. I forgot how much I missed this show. Last night's episode was definitely one of their better efforts.

Fucking Ravens.

Ha, that looks awesome. I didn't even notice what was happening to the screen until about halfway through.

In three weeks we've managed to lose about 2/3 of the original 31. This week should be interesting with all the divisional games.

1. This has to be Cincinnati. They have an overrated QB, bad lines, and a whole bunch of complete head cases. Plus, Marvin Lewis has quite obviously lost the team and needs to be fired. 2. Probably not. The Texans still seem to be saddled with a culture of losing, and as a result, they lose games they have chances to win. Matt Schaub is also not the QB everyone thought he was. 3. Nope. They're better than most people (including myself) thought, and they've shown they can beat horrible teams, but I don't think they have what it takes to beat anyone half decent. They'll probably end up 6-10 or 5-11. 4. Honestly, I think the answer here is no, particularly if Roethlisberger's injury affects his play or keeps him out. Ron Jaworski pointed this out on PTI yesterday -- the Ravens play the same defensive scheme as the Eagles, who got nine sacks Sunday. The last two games have shown that the Steelers' week 1 showing may have been a mirage. I don't think either team scores 20 points, at least not on offence, and I think the Ravens have a good shot at an upset here. 5. Not a bit. They'll get waxed regardless.

Week: 13-3 YTD: 32-15

Hawaii was a different case -- they clearly weren't as good as their record, as they were having a lot of trouble beating anybody away from home, and seemed to lose a lot of steam in the second half of the season. I don't think anyone will consider Hawaii when ranking those teams. That said, I don't see it happening, because you still have the problem where non-BCS teams are never ranked high enough in the preseason to make it into the top 2 or 3 in the polls by the end. Big name one-loss teams from BCS conferences will always get over on undefeated non-BCS teams.

Maybe Al can rerehire Art Shell. Hell, he probably forgot he rehired Shell in the first place.

That sucks. What happened to Syracuse?

He's said he would make YCJA reform legislation a confidence matter (i.e. if the other parties don't support it, there would be another election).

After tonight's game, there will be six undefeated teams: Buffalo NY Giants Tennessee Denver Baltimore Dallas/Green Bay winner Which of these teams will be the last to lose a game? How about the first?

Vitamin X - More ability to make big plays on both sides of the ball. Kahran Ramsus - Backfield is just way too much for Gert to keep up with. These were the two teams I saw meeting in the final all along.

Stuck being the operative word. I was cutting back and forth today, so I missed the first two FG attempts. As soon as I saw him trotting onto the field to try and win the game, I knew there was absolutely nothing to worry about. Once again, the Broncos defence worries me greatly. That's two straight weeks they've gone up 21-3 in the first half and still struggled to come away with a victory.

19-0 remains just a dream. I can still split, but I'll lose the tiebreak 1-3. On the upside, I'm still a game clear of everyone in the division.

Week 2 was pretty bad. I think we lost about half the pool.

Wow, we almost lost everybody. I had to sweat out the Giants.

That was only a matter of time. I said that was going to happen last week. If he feels like he can't get his stats, he's done.

Well, they really haven't beaten anybody. At least not on the calibre of Ohio State at home or Tennessee on the road.

This week went about as I expected: Buffalo - 4 New England - 4 NY Giants - 3 Seattle - 2 Denver - 1 San Diego - 1 No pick - 1

Devin Hester is out for the Bears today.

ATL/BUF/TB/CAR/NE/NYG/HOU/WAS/DEN/SF/STL/BAL/IND/PHI/DAL/SD/31

Wow, I don't think I've ever sucked this bad in this contest.

Not-so-fun fact: In the last two weeks, all five of my losses on differing games have been by three points or less.

It's not like he has much of a choice. He's not going to pull someone off their campaign to come to Ottawa to be sworn in as Ag minister and briefed on a portfolio they'll only hold for a couple of weeks.
