Choco the game starts at 5pm Pacific Time on Saturday.

LMAO @ Ferdy with the "Cleveland Clowns!" HAhahahaha

Ok CJ 🙂 (altho Choco is right there ARE cheerleaders for the guys). Lol!

I'm torn, because I'd want the Pats to win since a fellow Trojan is QB; however, I don't bet with my heart, I bet with common sense. Given the momentum and "Damn You Green Bay" mentality that Brett has been playing with, I'd have to agree with Ferdy and go with the Jets.

"jets-patriots dk.........who would u put money on——————————"

Most of the experts and analysts are saying Jets but I'll be putting my money on the Patriots. That defense is still a force to be reckoned with. And if Belichick's system truly is the reason why Tom Brady thrived in their offense Matt Cassel will do just fine. Expect a steady dose of short passes and screens. What scares me the most about the Jets is their special teams. They have guys who can bring one back anytime in the game.

I'm hedging my bets on this game though so I'll be putting money on both sides lol.

I know what you are saying DK, and I would likely hedge my bets too. The main reason I was thinking the Jets is simply one thing - Brett Favre. He seems to be en fuego right now, and I've seen some of the most dominant teams crumble to a team that simply played with more heart. That's my .02 on that, so good luck with your bets! Again, I would love the Pats to win, just for Matt C., so we'll just have to wait and see!

OH shit yea! You know the Jets coaching staff are laughing their asses off at GB.
One man's junk is another man's treasure -- I'm not saying, I'm just saying!!! LOL!
I'm watching Rutgers and North Carolina right now. Yes, I even watch random games! Rutgers was giving teams a run for their money a year ago. They were a Cinderella story like Tennesee was several years ago.

They have Aaron Kampman, KGB and Cullen Jenkins in their front 4. They're going to bring more than enough on the pass rush and can plug up any holes for opposing run games. Not to mention Harris and Woodson, two very physical and above average cover corners, in their secondary. Their defense is going to be the main reason they win games. Aaron Rodgers doesn't have to do much except maybe throw a couple deep passes to Jennings and Driver and hand it off to Grant.

I believe the entire team is important. A QB is important to orchestrate the offense; however, overall, if there are no receivers, linemen, safeties, etc, then there is no one to block, score and keep people from hemming the QB up, and with that there is no Football. It takes every position to make it work - even the field goal kicker. Everyone sleeps on that poor guy, but many games have been won and lost by the field goal kicker! lol.

Hey Choco, at my last company I did football pools, and when I go to Vegas I'll bet at the sport book; however, I don't bet every week on games, just occassionally, and I also don't bet on games that mean something to me emotionally. Like I know some people who wanted to bet against me on this Ohio State game, but I told them no. I never bet on the USC games.
@Ferdy 😉 I knew you were just giving me the business, it's all good!

LOL! Ferdy, I know exactly what you mean - AZ men OY (not all of them). I don't go to sport's bars to have guys pick up on me. I'm like them, I'm there to watch the game. Me and my girls go to this one bar, and initially the guys thought we were "those" kind of girls who went to SB's to pick up guys. They quickly found out we actually LOVE football and WATCH it. We gained their respect. They buy us drinks and all is good in the world!
Hey Ferdy, what the hell -- your boys need to score against the Cleveland Clowns 🙂 (man, I love that name- lol)
Michael Phelps is at the game. That guy has GOT to be tired!

Last game they just slung that ball all over the place liek there was no tomorrow. I think in the end both teams knew that the only way they would win was to outscore the other guy because no one was getting stops in that game at all.

They do look bad. It's all 3 and outs with the Cards today, while the Skins are actually doing something with it. The Giants and Bengals are tied too. Kidn of odd, I expected the Bengals to get blown out this game.

Yeah, how in Gods creation IS New Englad losing to Miami—?
I'm with Ferdy, the Cards SUCK! They always have and likely always will. The sad part is that individually they have some awesome players - Anquan B, Larry F., etc, but collectively they suck. It's always like that every year. They have great talent and it's wasted. Then those good players go and shine on other teams and win playoffs and SB games. Pathetic and sad. The Philly vs Steelers should be good; Steelers have better D than what I've seen of Philly so far this year. The Dallas vs GB game should be good; although, last weeks shoot out between Dallas and Philly was awesome! Le sigh! LOVE FOOTBALL!
DK, hope u win loads this week 🙂

OY, did anybody watch college yesterday? Damn Les Miles and LSU pulled it out to barely beat Auburn. I can't STAND Les Miles. He talked so much crap about my school/team (USC) last year. Whine, b#tch and moan! Bastard! ASU lost to Georgia, it was to be expected, but all these losses are KILLING my Pac-10! We're never going to get any respect when all our teams lose in non conference games!

Too early to start drinking— Uh, no...it's 5 o'clock somewhere! LOL!
Yeah, Warner isn't gonna be able to take much more beating up. Leinart, I'm very disappointed in....I have school pride, but sheesh, he was top rated and he's just struggled. It didn't help being injured, but he should've used that as motivation to come back even harder!
Hey Ferdy, I'll have to PM you, but we should meet one Sunday to watch football!! Me and my friends go to these 2 different bars in Scottsdale that I love. We sometimes go for the whole day (I know, we need to get lives!) LOL

Well, IMO, the Giants are way overrated. I know they won the SB last year, but they just don't seem to bring it like some other teams.
Well, unless we play them in a bowl game we aren't scheduled to play them. The person I'm casually seeing is a Gators fan and he has such a hard on (giggle) to see USC vs Florida in the BCS Championship game. I told him only time will tell. We have to win every game convincingly to make it, so Coach Carroll preaches only focusing on each game and NOT looking down the road.
How are the Raiders beating Buffalo—
