buckeyemike Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Today was a very nice day weather-wise...it's still in the 70s outside with a beautiful sunset. That said, there doesn't seem to be much hope here in C-town tonight. The Giants are here, and still feel like they have something to prove. The Browns? Well, when you're Soulja tight end could have a serious problem down low, your QB has been flat out awful, your RB has been fighting injuries, your OL suddenly forgot how to block and your superstar WR has a bad case of the dropsies, a Monday night exposure at home on national TV couldn't have come at a worse time. Cleveland can pull it all together tonight. But the chances of that are slim...and Slim's getting out of town for this one. Giants, 35-10.

Or at least cover the spread of +7.5. Home dogs cover the spread on monday night football at a 72% clip over the last 3 years. I got $100 saying they keep this one close. It was beautifull here today too. Just got done playing wiffle ball with the little guy outside. It is still in the low 70s here too.
udonkey Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 You can always become a Bills fan again, Mike, you flip flopper.

KD in CA Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 This is great....ACLS (and another Boston loss) as a warm up to MNF. Think I'll crack another beer. Come on Browns, time to give the Mighty Quinn a shot!

Home dogs cover the spread on monday night football at a 72% clip over the last 3 years. I got $100 saying they keep this one close. The problem with that thinking is that someone has to account for the 28% when the home dogs don't cover. I'm giving the 7.5, and was ready to give more than that before the spread went down. Giants in a massacre. Derek Anderson gets benched. Time for the Brady Quinn to get baptized.
drnykterstein Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Did you not watch any games yesterday? So called "upsets" happen all of the time in the NFL. It's why we watch.

Actually, this game(and line) was and is similar to the Bills-Dallas game last yeat. A big MNF game, at home with the home team getting 8.5 points. Don't quit your day job.

Gotta love it.

The Dean Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 This supports my point that a sense of gloom, before a game, is GOOD. No woofing, no media hype. Know that your team has to play its best possible game, or they are likely to lose.
KD in CA Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Wow...didn't count on 2006 Eli showing up. Those last two trips to the red zone were some of the worst managed 4Q drives I've seen all year.
Wacka Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 They said the Browns didn't punt at all or get sacked.
Rubes Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I love reading threads like this after the fact.
lets_go_bills Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 "Any given Sunday" rang true here, huh? This crazy league. The Giants were supposed to spank the Browns, instead the opposite happened. Wow.
lets_go_bills Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 The league's worst offense destroyed the NFC's best defence. It doesn't even make sense.
IDBillzFan Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Ahhh, football. Gotta love it. If there was a Hall of Fame for being wrong, they'd be fitting me for my jacket right now.
Dante Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Loser pools are impossible this year. Lots of people went out on St. Louis and Cleveland
