Good morning-
New Orleans set some sort of record for something last night. I haven't tried to find out what that was about.
The Saints clubbed the baby Lions 45-28. 21 of 22 players here had that game correct. There are 12 players with 4 points each as a result of picking Houston and New Orleans.
And then there is AndyClubber who wrongly chose Cincy. He is also at 4 points due to coming closest in the "final score" thing in both games, narrowly beating out Parados in the night game.

The early game today, the Falcons @ the Giants finds us split 15-9 in favor of the home team.
By whatever average we use the final score will be around 24-17.

@realjohnboy,
Manning is smelling the rare air of the Super Bowl. Let's see how the rest of the team responds.

@Rockhead,
Jeez, Giants look like the team that went to SB against the Pats. This changes things for predicting what team to put stock into. Giants look unstoppable against Falcons. Let's see how they look next week. Who would they face?

Seven players have each scored 6 points thus far. Many others are at 4. George, wrong in two games, managed to come closest to predicting Atlanta's score in the tiebreaker. He is at 3 points.
Four players have each managed to garner just 2 points.

We are split 22-2 in favor of the Steelers. Liontamerx and Mysteryman are the outliers. On average, we see the result as being about 26-11.

@ossobuco,
Hmmm, maybe my guess of Pitt getting 31 points was too low..

@ossobuco,
I have never liked chicken wings. A lot of effort for little reward.
But I do admire the chicken industry for creating a market for them.

I love these artichokes with garlic, mint, and olive oil, but artichokes cost an arm and a leg here..

@edgarblythe,
This is a team (Broncos) and guy that you can never predict.

Steelers are rolling right now but the half is ending...this looks like a GAME again!

@Ragman,
What does this mean? (I've wondered for a while, never looked it up).
I watch games on a small field (2" x 6") with a bunch of arrows moving around, spare commentary, and lunkheads on the comments section that bounces around endlessly...

"(10:57) (Shotgun) B.Roethlisberger scrambles right tackle to DEN 19 for 9 yards."

He scrambles to his right, toward Pitt's right tackle, or to his left, to Broncos' right tackle?
