Don't look now, but if the stars allign, the Eagles may actually win the division. At 8-8, with a lot of help, we go to the playoffs!

Step 1 - The Jets beat the Giants.
Step 2 - We beat those hated Cowboys.

Stay tuned for more! :excited:

 

I intend to, about twenty seconds after we get back to your place from the airport.

 

Let the Games Begin...

 

Sorry bout that...

Eagles are out of it with Jet loss...

But looks like Romo is hurt...

Never the less it will be the Gaints vs Cowboys next week to decide who goes to the play offs...

 

Buffalo crushes Denver; Oakland defeats San Diego in overtime. That eliminates both San Diego and Kansas City from the playoffs; Denver will clinch next week unless they lose and Oakland win, in which case the Raiders will sneak the division title.

The Giants winning means a Dallas/New York winner-take-all fight next week.

Tennessee beat Jacksonville and have taken pole position for the 6th spot in the AFC.

Detroit clinch a wild-card spot if they beat San Diego; they lead 24-0 in the third quarter.

The Vikings beat Washington; which means that at worst, they can only tie the franchise record for crappest ever team, not beat it.

 

The Cowboys did say that if the Giants won, they'd rest almost all of their starters.

The NY/NY game hadn't finished when Dallas started. Maybe they just took him out once they were certain the Giants would win? (Since that means the result of their game is meaningless.)

 

I thought the Seahawks had a good chance but they missed a few opportunities that cost them the game.

 

And the Niners thank them.......As do I.....

 

I read that Romo actually was injured - bruising and swelling in his right (throwing) hand, but no broken bones. He is probable for Sunday, I should think.

 

In his last pass he punched a helmet with his fist inadvertently while following thru with his passing motion. Showed on a replay.

A sideline shot showed his hand swelling before they took him in to x-ray.

He will play next week whether he should or not. He is like that.

I dont hold much hope for the cowboys making it to the play-offs.

 

Denver 14, Buffalo (WHO??!) 40
Tebow self destructs
Tebow discovers he is not God

:wall::wall:

Must beat Kansas City.

 

Yup ... Tim Tebow got a "reality check" for Christmas that came early for him. He is a nice guy but I'm done defending his QB skills, lol.

Dallas ... wtf do you say there? They treated it like it was a nothing game and now are at the mercy of a winner take all with NY next week. Ever try to hold a football with a swollen hand with lots of soft tissue damage ... I have and it doesn't work all that well.

Oh well it's only football and whether we believe it or not, the sun will rise tomorrow and life will go on and we have the entire off-season to get our blood pressure back in check, lol.

PS ... I really wanted the Seahawks to win that one. I hedged my "Proline" ticket just in case and am glad I did and made out quite well even though I had to bet against my own Cowboys.

PPS ... don't ever let emotion rule your betting or you may as well wipe your ass with your money and just flush it down the toilet.

 

I forgot to post : Odds of winning 2012 Superbowl week 16.
Green Bay Packers 1.80 to 1
New England Patriots 4.00 to 1
New Orleans Saints 6 to 1
Baltimore Ravens 11 to 1
Pittsburgh Steelers 14 to 1
San Francisco 49ers 15 to 1
Houston Texans 32 to 1
Dallas Cowboys 33 to 1
Atlanta Falcons 34 to 1
San Diego Chargers 45 to 1
Denver Broncos 55 to 1
Philadelphia Eagles 55 to 1
Detroit Lions 58 to 1
New York Giants 66 to 1
New York Jets 66 to 1
Cincinnati Bengals 180 to 1
Oakland Raiders 300 to 1
Tennessee Titans 300 to 1
Chicago Bears 300 to 1

 

It was a nothing game, because the Giants hold the tiebreaker over them. Beating Philly and being a game in front of NY, they would still have faced a winner take all next week.

As soon as they knew the Giants had won, the only thing Dallas cared about was nobody important getting injured. Unfortunately for them, since the NY/NY game overran, Romo already had done by the time the news came in.

(It was also a nothing game for Philly, because the Giants had eliminated them when they beat the Jets.)

 

You could've at least put the Panthers on here just to humor me even if it was only to say: Carolina Panthers - A snowball's chance in hell!!

 

Carolina Panthers - losing bet, therefore no odds.


Green Bay should confirm there #1 NFC seeding, and formally eliminate Chicago, over the next three hours. Since losing Cutler and Forte on the same day, the Bears have been an elimination waiting to happen; which is a shame for them, since they looked a good team, but at least us Vikings fans have SOMETHING to be happy about.

 

Ya I was on the phone at the same time I wrote it and was going to focus on why they played Romo in the first place but lost my train of thought but somehow my fingers kept typing, lol.

PS ... edit to last odds update:
Snowballs chance in hell 1 gazillion/1
Carolina Panthers 1 gazillion and 1/1

GB is running away with this thing now 35-10

 

Gazillion!! I don't have that many fingers and toes to count that high!! One...two...gazillion!

 

49ers or the saints would be my favs for a superbowl win this season. although it really looks like green bay is just gonna poop on everyone.
