Titans run out of quarterbacks' what? Helmets?

Man On A Mission: Chicago at Detroit
Vegas : CHI, -4.5
Prediction : Chicago to cover

I was a bit worried about this being a trap game for the Bears until Nate Burleson opened his mouth.

/The NFC West could have a 6-10 division winner this year.

Nabb1: As unlikely as it is, here's hoping that Tampa dispatches the Dirty Birds.

Please oh please oh please.

elvisaintdead: Is amused by your naive, cock-eyed optimism

It's not even optimism. It's wishful thinking.

Aarontology: It's not even optimism. It's wishful thinking.

I don't know. Tampa nearly did it earlier this year. Now, if it's Carolina, THAT is wishful thinking.

robsul82: Aarontology: It's not even optimism. It's wishful thinking.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Tampa win this one. They almost beat the Falcons in Atlanta, and Tampa is probably hungry for a "statement" win. And really, if they want to stay in the playoff hunt, they have to win this game. Anyway, I'm glad the local Fox affiliate is picking this one up and not the freaking Dallas-Indy game

Exactly. It's a must, must, must win for Tampa to stay alive. Atlanta's got room to breathe. So there's that.

I look forward to Kyle Williams making Brett Favre his biatch today.

Yeah, Tampa Bay has it in them to give the Falcons a run for their money. We'll see if taking down the division leaders lights a fire under their ass. Especially since everyone knows that they might be denied a playoff shot while even the NFC West will get at least one playoff team.

Carolina beating them would be funny as hell.

Sigh...the game that matters is tomorrow.

Aarontology: eah, Tampa Bay has it in them to give the Falcons a run for their money. We'll see if taking down the division leaders lights a fire under their ass. Especially since everyone knows that they might be denied a playoff shot while even the NFC West will get at least one playoff team.

Kidding aside, this is the game that is worrisome. TB damn near won in Atl, and they do
have a helluva lot more at stake here. Plus Atl's defense is at best slightly above average,
and their secondary considerably worse. They've been lucky so far, not good.
No sir, I don't like it.

Aarontology: Carolina beating them would be funny as hell.

You shut your filthy whore mouth.

Fantasy question: Do I make frozen pierogis for lunch, or do I finally use the pizza crust that is also in my freezer to make an actual pizza?

I never read the questions in the headline, anyway. Big game this afternoon. Go Raiders! Mika, hope you've got the pics of zombie Al ready, we're gonna need all the help we can get.

I've got a bet with my Chargers-fan b.f. this week and don't wanna profess my love for the Chargers on my facebook wall like he had to do when the Raiders won.

snake_beater: What's the over/under on number of fights in the Steelers-Ravens game?

I don't know the official number, but I'd take the over on 3.5.

Winners:
Cin
Chi
SF
KC
Cle
Buf
Ten
Oak
Ari
NYG
Ind
Sea
TB
Bal
NYJ

I bet on some underdogs this week!

Man On A Mission: Chicago at Detroit
Vegas : CHI, -4.5
Prediction : Chicago to cover

Bears to cover only 4.5 is free effing money.

Drew Stanton versus the best defense in the NFL. It's gonna be UUUUUU-GLAAAAY.

Owangotang: Do I start Ryan Fitzpatrick instead? I mean sitting Peyton farking Manning on get-in-or-go-home week is either genius or stupid.

I'm starting Fitzy this week. Mostly because Matt Schaub has been a bum, and Harvard boy has been putting up the points.

El Brujo: WR help!!

Pick two:

Bess
Hartline
Boldin
Nate Washington
Roy Williams

I'm sick of Boldin putting up shiat numbers and benched him. I have Bess and Washington in, but Hartline is available. Do I go for both Miami WRs?

I'm already starting Bess this week. I'm leery of starting 2 WRs from the same time, and I woudn't start Boldin against Pitt. I'd probably stick with Washington.

If it's any consolation, I think Atlanta will pull it out. It definitely won't be easy though.

Owangotang: Buffalo is at Minn, can I trust Fitz on the road in the Humpdome? UGHH

Here's ESPN's take:

Player News (last updated: November 30, 2010)
Spin: He'll keep throwing, increasing his chances at bloated fantasy numbers, and if he's smart, he'll smear Steve Johnson's hands with crazy glue before the opening kickoff. We have to think Johnson rebounds in a big way, in which case Fitzpatrick will be a go.

Aarontology: If it's any consolation, I think Atlanta will pull it out. It definitely won't be easy though.

That's what she said?

Gentlemen, it's time to kick some ass. Or Bronco. Same difference.

I got so screwed last week in fantasy. Even with Stevie Johnson dropping the TD, Manning throwing 4 picks, and having a kicker on a team that got shut out, I still was in position to win if Frank Gore got a reasonably-reachable 14 points on MNF. And we all know how that turned out. I really needed that week as I'm in a fight for the last playoff spot in my league, and now I'm a game back. To make things worse, the guy a game ahead of me beat me to Westbrook since he picked him up mid-game while I was out.

Blah blah blah, cool story bro, but it leads me to my question: Mike Goodson or Ricky Williams?

Also, I agree with the first part of the headline. G-MF'in-Men.
