    Bucs vs Vikings

    The Vikings are currently a 5.5 favorite. This has moved down since this morning.

    The O/U is 43.5. This has moved up since this morning.

    Predictions on the spread or the O/U?
    The Game: What to look for? Key matchups?

    Minnesota keeps fumbling, Bucs in control.

    not sure why the booth didn't take another look at the play (under 2 mins left) where the TB defender took the ball away. They said he was out of bounds, but I thought he stepped out after he got possession of the ball.

    Instead, Minnesota kept possession and got a FG

    hehe, halftime upset specials

    Mariucci picked the Browns (who are +2)
    Deion picked Seattle (also about +2)

    LDT picked the Eagles (favored by 2)

    Basically, zero real upsets picked.

    I saw the same thing. Notice they kicked it very quickly.
    I think the refs missed that one. If it were the replacement refs, there would be no end to it.

    not only did the refs obviously miss it, but the guys in the booth, who are supposed to be watching the game, also missed it.

    I think it should have been a turnover, but even if they determined not, it was extremely close. (to tell you the truth, the two times I saw it, I thought it was clear he had the ball, and in bounds)

    Mike Maycock and Brad Nessler also ignored what happened.

    Oh yes! Peterson scores a long one. He starts in the league where I benched Martin.

    sick of thursday night football, and sick of the NFL Network morons.

    Not only do they suck, but they have to ruin the result of the baseball game.

    If I wanted to know what happened in the World Series, I'd know where to go.

    ^Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of them either. I record the game ahead of time so I can FF their banter in between plays. It's much more enjoyable and the game flies by.

    Damn you VJax! I should have started Mike Williams instead! Viking D got -4, good thing I replaced em with Jets D in most league. I had to eat it in one of them, though. Peterson did decent, that long TD saved me.

    Absolutely pathetic pass defense for the Eagles and Atlanta gets the TD.
