Week 14 NFL running thread because no one else started it

Shitty weather, too, in Chicago. Gonna be a classic.

 

That's insane merely because there haven't been 12 great games.

 

Cris Carter, Keyshawn and Stephen A on an ESPN show talking shit. It's like a documentary by Klan that makes you think "hmmm... I know the Klan is fucked up but they got a point here".

These Amos and Andy mutherfuckers Trash talking and grinning like Step N. Fetchit found a $10 bill makes you lose hope for the world.

 

Bad TV for sure, but many, many minions (15-40 demographic, I'm guessing) tune in and adjust their opinions based on what all the jocks spout out. Only thing worse is the commercials that get fused in with such regularity during these pre game shows and then during the games themselves.

 

This is a politics board now.

 

A bit curious on the late games for money line picks.

Seattle is -485
Green Bay is -300
Kansas City is -630

Yet I could see the Chiefs as most vulnerable with rivers on the other side.

Green Bay feels like free ML money. They haven't looked good but their four losses were PFMs last good game, Newton, Stafford and Cutler as opposing QB. Today they have Matt Cassel on a short week vs GB on 10 days.

 

That's right

 

I think the Packers are free money this week, too, even ATS.

 

Some Steelers have circled today's game since Bell went down the first time they played the Bengals, and there's been a lot of chippy play so far. We'll see a lot of yellow (penalty) flags today.

 

NFL sucks. Games take too long, with less action. Moments of movements , followed by lengthy gyrations of obnoxiousment for the most mundane of accomplishments, which interrupt long periods of stagnation and repetitive commercials A game played by mammoth men who have the constitution of snowflakes. Officiating by overly prissy librarians who are monitored by Dear Leader who sees everything but understands nothing. A once action and violence filled sport has been reduced to a rural community ballet performance.

 

Andy Dalton going into the locker room; TV guys say they're looking at his right thumb. Oh boy.

 

Huge play early in Cinci. Tuitt reads screen and intercepts Dalton inside the Pittsburgh 10. Dalton also injured his right thumb on the tackle and went to the locker room. Bengals are saying his return is questionable.
