Mirthful Me's NFL 2007 Football Pool Thread...

I have a fishing buddy that just told me basically the same thing on another site. He says I worry too much. I get that from my mother. I think I'm still having a hard time believing they're 10-2. Who wudda thunk it. A win today and the division is theirs. Pretty cool.

I hope you guys are right. I'll feel better when they're up by a couple scores.

reply to post by Musky


One turnover, with a turnover on downs, so essentially two turnovers. Not good enough.

I'm starting to worry right along with you. Figures this would be the day with Detroit leading 20-14.

EDIT: edited the score. Good job Detroit. Way to show up today. I was scared another Detroit team came to play today.

Okay you know last week where I said the Pats not covering against Pittsburgh was my guaranteed lock? I was just kidding. Actually it's this week against the Jets.

Mangini is due to PUNISH Belichick.

Mangini is due to PUNISH Belichick.

Which is why Belichick is going to make hay while the sun is shining and lay a 60 point beatdown on him.

Jets over Pats this Sunday would make Buster Douglas over Mike Tyson look mundane.

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not predicting a Jets victory, I'm just saying the Pats won't cover. Then Mangini chases Belichick across the field, knocks him down, sits on his chest, and pulls his hair while screaming in his face. That's what I'm predicting.

But I'm iffy on the hair pull.

If you can get a sportsbook in Vegas to write that ticket I'll have no choice but to put down $5 on it.

I'll put in a call to Doctor Love. I think he's still running the sports book at the Tangiers.

All dogs except the Pack. Last time I did this it worked. Obviously I'm starting one down due to picking after the start of the Denver game.

Those Houston uniforms remind me of the Texas Tech Red Raiders, though they seem to be working so far

STANDARD NFL NETWORK RANT

Remember how fun it used to be when the Thursday and Saturday games started. It used to be such a treat...late in the season...bonus games.

*sigh*

Those were the days.

The Texans really looked good last night. Of course, being from Houston, I want them to do good, so I may be biased. But they looked really complete. Maybe it's the uniforms (they're ugly, though).

How about Mario Williams? Shutting everyone up for a little while.

NOTICE:

Patriots LOSE this week, and never recover for the rest of the season. They may win next week, and stumble into the playoffs, but when they fail to win the Super Bowl this year.. we will look back to this week (and this post) and think THIS is where things went wrong.
