Well, I think I picked a good week to have to work on Sunday. This is a shit slate. Raiders-Steelers, Niners-Eagles, Bills-Dolphins and Cowboys-Chargers are interesting. Sunday night could be OK. Seattle -5.5 seems like stealing money. Tennessee fucking sucks.

 

Any relation to Lurleen?

 

That Thursday and Monday night games are going to be trash. Ooof. Sunday night has a chance to be great but Baltimore needs to give Lamar help or that one will be over by half. What’s going to be the best game? Raiders-Steelers?

 

The first TD in Lions history
Talk about a dubious distinction

 

Cowboys at Chargers could be fun.

Raiders-Steelers should be close. The Steelers should be able to pressure Carr. The Raiders should be able to get to Roethlisberger. Perhaps a low-scoring game?

 

I think the Raiders secondary is going to be exposed. They blew multiple coverages Monday and only paid for it a few times. The D line is better than they were last year, but I also think they'll have a big hangover after the emotional win.

 

That could be true of both teams. Remember, the Bills dominated the Steelers last season and were expected to do so again.

Pittsburgh does have an advantage playing at home while the Raiders have to travel on a short week.

The Steelers' offensive line really is bad. If they can protect Roethlisberger at all, I agree that they should have some opportunities in the passing game. The same is true of the Raiders. Good tight ends give the Steelers fits, so Waller could have a huge game.

 

Has a team that lost by 35 the week before ever been favored by 11 points the next week?

 

And traded because he wouldn't give up professional wrestling, which probably paid more and was more legit than playing for the Lions, a theme that has remained constant throughout the franchise's history.

(I do like that he sold bowling supplies after hanging up his ... he didn't wear a helmet, so I'm not sure what he hung up.)
