Kind of a wacky weekend in the NFL huh? Out of the 5 teams that were 10 point or more favorites all but one covered, easily. El Pad had a rough betting experience going a gnarly 0-3 in college (although I hit the USC bet, the line dropped to 17) and a respectable 4-2 in the pros. After going 7-2 last week that brings the overall stand at 11-7. Not bad. Let's get into some of the events that was a great football weekend.
GIANTS! Unbelievable comeback win on the road. Just gutted out a rough 3 quarters and took it to Philly in the fourth to tie the game and force overtime. Eli was unspectacular for 3 quarters mostly due to "protection problems" but really turned it on when it mattered. Driving down the field to set-up a tying FG he then went unconscious in the OT period and went 8-8, 82 yards and a TD. Now they head to Seattle to face the Hawks who sit at 2-0 but it's a different 2-0 as yesterday they had a under-whelming victory over the Cards. That's two under-whelming performances against two mediocre teams. The Giants are not a mediocre team.
Gamble is his name and gamble he did. A lateral pass that went bad the Panthers blew thier game in Minny and now sit 2 behind the flying Falcons. Vick and Co. set a record by rushing for over 300 yards with him and Dunn doing most of the work. Needless to say the Falcons look good, the Bucs and the Panthers don't.
Speaking of the Bucs, Simms needs to sit. I guess he ain't ready. And the cover is still on the Cadillac, cuz we haven't seen that fool yet.
Pats still own Jets. Ravens squash Raiders has predicted.
Are the Saints for real? Well you know what....with Brees you have to respect them now.
This Colston kid is becoming a threat in an offense that can score.
Niners with a big home win against a pretty good Ram team still finding themselves. I called Frank Gore a year ago and now he's emerging as a top back. Did anyone see the throw Alex Smith made to Bryant for the go-ahead TD? Wow.
Colts did what they do against bad teams and Manning passes Unitas on the all-time Colts list.
Broncos struggled again and the Chargers look like the team to beat out west.
Redskins offense makes me want to puke when I watch it. It's awful. I though Al Saunders was a genius? Brunell has to go. I'm surprised that situation doesn't get more press. What do fans in DC want?
T.O busted his finger and is out 2-4 weeks. Culpepper layed a home-opening egg.
Bills looked pretty good again, should we watch out?
Bengals took care of business over the Browns but did anyone see the lick Chad Johnson took?
Let's see him do the chicken dance after that?
Da Bears.

nice job with that teaser. I have have to hand it to you, as a skins fan, i had to have blind faith in brunell, but when his second option is throwing out of bounds, and the first option is only 5 yards down the field, how bad can campbell do.
Fox was an idiot for making that play call that late in a game his team should've won in their sleep. Awful.
Looking forward to the rematch in the Meadowlands... I think.
teaser was solid, so was that bills/miami under and of course the Ravens. I learned my lesson with Simms, as far as the back-door cover game i chose the wrong one. Cheifs gettin 10 was a lock.
see ya in December los and rev!
I picked up Simms in round 4 of FFL. May be a mistake. Learned my lesson in week 1 and he rode pine this week. Dude can launch it downfield so I'm not releasing him just yet.
