The Steelers made me glad I have a second favorite team today. Texans did real good.

Quote:NFL games, evolution vs creationism?
I would say there is a compromise. The male courtship display of evolution in terms of force and cunning is evident but so also are the rules which tone down the expression of them.
The female response is symbolised by the cheerleaders and that is also toned down.
@realjohnboy,
May be I should start watching some football....I think I am only 3 to the good.
As near as I can tell, George, Region and Johnboy are left in contention for the Week 1 prize, with a win by Dallas giving the week to George.
Very unofficial, though.

@jespah,
Issues of Harper's Weekly between 1859 to 1878 have been archived. RJB has found a unique resource for football predictions.
Two games left in week #1. I have the contest coming down to a race between Region and Johnboy who are tied at 11-3. Both have New England over Miami and Denver against Oakland. George is at 10-4 but also has NE and Denver. He can gain no ground. Six players are 9-5 but none of them has both Miami AND Oakland.
In the tiebreaker game (Denver vs Oakland) Johnboy sees the final score as 30-20 while Region predicts 31-21. I will have to find the rules on how the tiebreaker works.
@realjohnboy,
so when the fish win, nobody gets hurt.
that's good...
@Rockhead,
Only Edgar and Andy swim with the fishes tonight.
The rules regarding the tiebreaker:
1) The player closest to the winning team's score in the last game
2) The player closest to the losing team's score
3) The player closest to the home team's score
4) The player closest to the losing team's score
5) The player closest to the total points scored
6) The player who is lowest ranked in the standings
Region sees a final score of 31-21 Denver while Johnboy is at 30-20 Denver.
