Em Emalb's Journal: Football

Well well well. Another day of football and yet AGAIN my Bears don't get no respect. The Vegas line is Atlanta by 3. Come on. When will they get some love?

Ok, this space available for our football fans to put predictions, insults, slams, and general knowledge in. I will make a new JE every sunday on this very subject.

Da.......Bears, da bears, da bears, da bears.

FK, sorry to see your boys lost last week. No one respects the Pats either though. Kordell with a K is killing you guys. Hope he can get back to last year's form. What's up with Bettis?

My week 2 predictions

[Em Emalb]

Chicago over Atlanta

Carolina over Detroit

Tampa Bay over Baltimore

Tennessee over Dallas*

Indianapolis over Miami**

Jacksonville over Kansas City

Green Bay over New Orleans

New England over NY Jets

Cleveland over Cincinnati

St Louis over NY Giants

Seattle over Arizona

Buffalo over Minnesota

San Diego over Houston***

Denver over San Francisco

Oakland over Pittsburgh****

Redskins over Philadelphia

*Did I ever mention how much I hate Dallas?
**Ricky Williams is over-rated.
***Houston is gonna get an intro to the NFL for real this week. Dallas is like Division 3A College Football
****Kordell is gonna kill the Steelers. Bettis isn't healthy? I guess and this will be their downfall.

Ok, there's my predictions, made before kick off.

Let's see how right I am on Tuesday :)

Redskins over Philadelphia

But philly has a tradition of boucning back from a hurtful loss to win BIG. That loss to the Titans has made for a hungry team that will swallow the risk-taking-Redskins.

As for the Jets, there's a friend of mine who loves Testeverde and thinks he is the best thing (right now) to ever happen to football. He is also a Jets fan, but swears this feeling about Testeverde isn't because he's a jets fan. He keeps quoting all these prof-Teste articles (many of which come from Jets fans sites). Just because of his claims to be impartial it has made me dispise the Jets (from having to be so critical of them for arguments and such) so I just can't wait for them to lose big this week.

"But philly has a tradition of boucning back from a hurtful loss to win BIG."

yeah, I was basically flipping a coin on this one. I think that (even though I liked him when he was with the Bears) Shane Matthews isn't a 1st string quarterback. The Redskins aren't as good as the analysts think, imo. We will see. Either way, I would rather not face either team come play-off time.

Especially since the Eagles kicked the crap outta the Bears last years in the playoffs.

Well, a friend of mine from HS plays for the redskins so I'll admit I'm partial to them, but I've been an Eagles fan my entire life. Needless to say I'm definately going to try and let me class out early tomorrow night to get home in time for the game. (Class is supposed to end at 8:45, then there's travle time home and such). Right now I'm watching TB beat up on baltimore... TB is another team I'm following very closely this season, always liked Gruden.

[Em Emalb]

Yeah. I know. Guess I am about as good as those analysts on tv :) I still think I did better than them. What do you think?

Hey SC, you don't have to be so happy about it! ;)

Does your head hurt? :P

I hate the Texans, and I always will.
I'll never forgive them...for the death of my son.
