OK, Euro.
(Let's see how this turns out.)

I'll be watching the game and rooting for Big Blue. Looks like DJ is back at the
QB position.
I will be rooting against the Gints as I have every year for the last sixty (yes,
sixty) years.
I would be rooting against the Jets, too, but there doesn't seem to be much
point in doing so.

Fond memories:
<cough cough>Thanksgiving Day QB Sanchez butt fumble against the Pats.

Interesting.
I became a GIANTS fan back in 1958 (my first full year out of the Air Force)...when Jim Lee Howell was head coach and Vince Lombardi was an assistant.
We both are old dogs.
So...I've been a fan longer than you've been rooting against them.
@Frank Apisa,
Way back in time when I was a mere youth, and before there was a team called the Patriots, we in Boston used to root for NY Giants and Y.A. Tittle.
Oddly, I just looked up what happened to him and discovered that he died in 2017 at age 90.

Yeah, there is an iconic picture of YA associated with the fall of the early 1950's Giants.

I go back to an earlier time...with Chucking Charlie Conerly.
As an aside, the Giants played their worst game of this year yesterday. They sucked. But I love 'em still.
Go Jints!

Here are the possibilities.
If the Browns win,
....then Rhys wins outright (and I'll never hear the end of it).
If the Ravens win,
....If the total points equal 52 or more,
........then Lightning22 wins.
....If the total points are 51, 50, 49, or 48,
........then Ticomaya wins.
....If the total points are 46 or less
........then if the winning score is 24 or more,
............Maxine wins
........else
............j aumen wins
....If the total points are exactly 47,
........then if the winning score is 27 or more,
............Ticomaya wins.
........else if the winning score is 25 or less,
............Maxine wins.
........else if the winning score is exactly 26,
............then Maxine and Ticomaya remain tied (both picked a losing score of 21).
In the case of the last scenario, winner is decided by a coin flip.
@George,
Run it up Baltimore, leave no doubt!!!!
Tonight the Cleveland Browns play the Baltimore Ravens.
Before their move to Baltimore, the Ravens were the Cleveland Browns.
Part of the deal to move the team included Cleveland retaining possession of
The Browns name, logo and colors, though why they wanted to keep them is
a mystery to me. "Browns" is such a nondescript name and brown such a
nondescript color. As for a logo, they don't have one. Their helmets are just
orange. Actually they were not named for the color, but for their first coach,
Paul Brown.
There is, however, an NFL team that IS named after a color. Any guesses?
@Ragman,
Yeah.
And, arguably, the Arizona Cardinals and the Baltimore Ravens...could qualify.
@Frank Apisa,
Those aren’t colors, though. They’re descriptive of colors.
A boatload of points scored, so Lightning22 wins.
Congrats!
