Crazy Chargers Colts Game

I hate the NFL overtime system.  There’s just way too much luck involved.  Historically, the team that won the coin flip wins over 60% of the time.  That’s lame!

Darren Sproles has been amazing by the way.  That little guy can freaking run and break tackles!

Wow!  I just checked the lines for the NFL games for this weekend, and ALL the home teams are home underdogs.  Amazing.  But then on second look, none of the home teams look that good.  Cardinals?  Dolphins?  Chargers? Vikings?  Not sold on any of them.

  • I really don’t think the Cardinals would even make it out of the NFC West had Mike Singletary been the 49ers head coach all season.  Plus, they haven’t been playing very well.
  • The Dolphins can’t stand up to the mighty Ravens defense.  The TWICE comeback player of the year, Chad Pennington, can only go so far.  Seriously, how does someone win comeback player of the year twice?  You come back once, leave, and come back again?
  • The Chargers offense is good, but Indy is experienced and ex-Superbowl Champs. This year’s LT is not the same LT.  I should know… he was on my fantasy team!
  • The Eagles are red hot.  The Vikings are not.  And Pat Williams has a broken bone in his right shoulder.  And the Vikings can’t even sell out their first home playoff game in the last 8 years.  And the Vikings haven’t even been to the playoffs since 2004.

    Hmm… betting on 4 road teams might be kind of crazy though.  I gotta be missing something here.
