In this Sunday's early edition of the YFL (Yahoo Football League), the Buffalo Bills beat the Jacksonville Joculars.
That's all for now. Read 'em and weep. In for a penny, in for a pounding.
Can you guess the theme for this week? Could be a mystery...
Which QB Kirk Cousins will show up this week? Will it be the guy with a 110.3 passer rating vs a decent Rams squad, or some effete fellow like this guy...
Folks are still talking about making RG3 the starter. Nevertheless, in this Sunday's mid-day edition of the Nominal Football League, the 'skins beat the Bucs.
The Falcons take out their frustration on the poor Tennessee Tuxedos. Mylanta wins.
Which Indianapolis team is going to show up? The one that squeaks out a win against creampuff competition, or these guys?
Zoinks! I'm guessing that the Colts beat the Aints, but its just a guess.
The Vikings at the Lions? Argh!! This game started with Vegas saying the Vikes were favored by 2.5 points... less than a field goal. Which is a reminder that the Minnesota kicker has had his problems this season, although he was (finally!) good last week. Since then, the odds have slipped until now neither team is favored. The Lions have been horrid, lately, only barely managing to squeak by the Bears, but the Vikings have lost their last five road games, and couldn't get their offense going against the lowly Chefs last week. It was tough enough to pick then, but now comes the news that AP may be too sick to play... I gotta pick the Motor City Kitties, as much as it galls me to do so. Lions win. GO VIKINGS!!!
Steelers over Chefs
Which Rams team is going to show up? The one that beats good teams, or losers like these...
I'm picking the Rams to run all over the Browns, and cruise to an easy victory, ... but I can easily imagine that other Rams squad showing up to let Johnny Football steal a win.
The South Beach Fins over Houston Hoyerlers.
Jets at Patriots? The Pats aren't going undefeated through the whole season, and the Jets D is much better than the Patriot D, buuuut... the Jets haven't really beaten any quality teams, and lost to the Iggles. The weird thing is that I can imagine the Jets being so dominant against the patchwork Pats O-line that Tom Brady gets knocked out of the game in the 2nd quarter... and the Jets still losing. So I gotta pick New England to win.
Chargers versus Raiders. Ok, the Numismatic Football League can schedule test games in London, but can't figure out which franchise will be allowed (condemned??) to move to LA. Here's a crazy idea... have THIS GAME in LA, and see which team the LA fans show up to cheer for (if either), and have that team move. Oh, wait, that would require the Numismatic Fortune-seeking Larcenists to care more about the fans than how much revenue this will generate for the NFL. See? I told you it was a crazy idea...
The Are-We-Moving-To-LA Chargers beat the Are-We-Moving-Back-to-LA Raiders (game obviously-but-bizarrely not to be held in LA)
What kind of QB play are we going to see? A real QB named Cassel...
or a different sort
I'll take the New Jersey Jiants over the Dallas 'boys club
Which Philly team is going to show up? The one that can handle adversity, or...
I pick Pantlers over Iggles, but argh...
and, in the Monday Late-Night Birdwatching edition...
The Not-as-Good-as-We-Thought Cardinals over the Really-Not-as-Good-as-We-Thought Ravens
This season is so weird, ... I only hope I understand it better with more data.
