Chucky sucky!Packers: wrong!
Falcons: wrong!
Cripes, how wrong was I here. Roy Williams had a huge day and Ron Mexico didn't.
Cowboys: wrong!
'Something of a fourth quarter 'Skins comeback by the looks of things' I wrote on Sunday evening when I was putting this together. As it turns out, Nick Novak had two chances to nail a game winning field goal with no time left in the game.
Bears: wrong!
Huge day for Ronnie Brown and six turnovers for Da Bears. Is a Bears meltdown ahead with trips to the Giants and Patriots in the next three games?
Jaguars: right!
Go plastic beer container! Rah rah rah China coffee mug!
Giants: right!
Is this an underrated team? Some stats for anyone reading this: they've won five of their last six but they've only won one game of three against a club that currently has a winning record (Atlanta), they lost to Seattle and Indianapolis and Da Bears visit on Sunday.
Saints: right!
Chiefs: right!
Ravens: right!
So at 9:30pm GMT on Sunday night, I was 5-4 for the week with two games in progress, one to come and one on Monday night. I could theoretically still have had a good week...
Colts: right!
Great game. Due to 'system problems' at work I got home at 3pm on Monday and watched it; up and down the field we go and when we stop...the last team with the ball wins. Which was the Colts. Peyton Manning is officially funnier than Tom Brady; and all those blokes dressed up Paul Revere can JUST SHUT UP.
The Colts are coming! The Colts are coming!Chargers: right!
Hmmm...November 19th, San Diego at Denver. Winner to play the Colts in the AFC Championship game?
Vikings: wrong!
Three points against the 49ers? The last time San Fran kept anyone under ten points was October 19th 2003 when they beat Tampa Bay 24-7 and the Chuckmeister was in charge of TB that day too. The Bears may have lost, but if that's all Minnesota can muster then they're in trouble. Chicago has a three game lead in the division - and they'll need that - but if this is the best the opposition can muster Lovie Smith's crew will be a cert for the play offs.
Seahawks: sadly and inevitably right. 8-6 for the week, a massive improvement over recent showings.
If the regular season ended today:
The Colts would be number one seed in the AFC, followed by New England, Denver and Baltimore all on 6-2. Jacksonville and San Diego would be the wildcards, but there's absolutely no point working out the tie breaker right now. I've got a feeling this won't change too drastically, although the Chiefs and the Bengals could still make it interesting.
The NFC is a lot less clear. Chicago has the best record at the moment, but the Giants, Saints and Seahawks are now only one game behind and there are currently six teams on 4-4 records.
At the other end of the food chain, the Cardinals have sole possession of the number one draft pick with Miami, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Houston, Tennessee, Oakland, Detroit and Tampa Bay a game ahead. But with Matt Leinart, Edge James, Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald already in place, would the Arizona draft committee have the orchestras to actually pick someone who could actually help them like Joe Thomas of Wisconsin or Jake Long of Michigan?
Al, Art: they are offensive linemen and will probably be available when the Raiders are on the board. At this rate, 24 year old Andrew Walter is going to look like 79 year old George Blanda does now at the end of the season...
