Week 9 NFL Thread: Smoke 'em If ya got 'em Ray Mansfield edition

Steelers have a big one with solid Indy team coming to town.
The one time a year 90 percent of America is rooting for the Ravens, who present New England with its first test of the season. OBTW: Harbaugh does pretty well (compared to the rest of the AFC) against the Pats.

Jets-Dolphins should be vomit-fest.
Bears-Eagles and Vikings-Chiefs should be good TV.

Rest of the slate, not so much.

Ray Mansfield -- the Old Ranger.

 

And what is this Central Timezone nonsense?

 

Steeler fans are no good for anything

 

Went to the casino this morning because I wanted to bet the Thursday game and I'm going to be out of town until Friday. Also locked in three picks for Sunday that I liked (Colts as a Pick 'em, Jets -3 and Bills -9 1/2) that were all lower spreads than what was on the sheet. That's like getting all the peanut butter I can eat and the bicycle I never had.

 

can you bet on a tie?

 

Dalton benched. If they actually trade AJ, this might be a coherent strategy to usher in a new era as a team. But my best guess is they're just making up shit as they go along.
