He once got assaulted outside of War Memorial Stadium after blowing a game-winning, chip-shot FG.

That Rams line is low. I know they just lost to the Cardinals, but Seattle is awful and barely got past a Niners team without a kicker, without a running attack and a rookie QB thrown into back up. Rams will crush Seattle in Seattle.

I think Niners-Cardinals could be interesting. And no one east of the Rockies will see it without Sunday Ticket because God forbid Cowboys-Giants, the Applebee’s song of football matchups, isn’t the game of the week.

I can't wait 'til Cosmo gets to Two-Bits Homan.

When is Vegas going to offer an over/under on Saint Urban's number of remaining games in Jacksonville?
He lost the locker room in the spring. And again in preseason. If burnout doesn't claim him, his own decisions will.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

Would that bet include him faking a heart attack?

And with all that, I'm having a hard time seeing how the Titans -- who should arrive angry after losing to the J-E-T-S -- don't win and cover easily.

I believe he might have some angina tonight. Michael Lombardi said there were discussions in the building about firing him for cause.

I'm guessing the thinking is that it is Russell Wilson and they are playing that game in Seattle, but you may be right.

There are a couple of games that really stand out to me. Browns at Chargers should be fun in one of the late afternoon games, with Bills at Chiefs Sunday night.

There is no excuse in 2021 to whine about not being able to see a game.

Seattle has been average at home over the last few years and better on the road.

I'm just guessing at the logic behind the line. Home field is always considered some advantage, even if it isn't quite what it used to be in Seattle.

You’re right and people who don’t follow the Hawks still believe it’s a huge advantage.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

I believe that so far this year (I know it's early), there has been no discernible home field advantage in the NFL.

 

[Cosmo]

Very small sample size, but four weeks in, only nine teams remain unbeaten at home.

2-0 teams: Dallas, Green Bay, Chicago, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Cleveland
1-0 team: Arizona

Chargers, Broncos, Cards, Rams and 49ers are all unbeaten away

In seriousness, which team that really needs a corner is going to park the Brinks Truck for this guy?

Damn well better be the Titans.
