WHO YA GOT?

Saturday:
Bengals (-4) at Texans (4:30 PM ET)
Detroit at New Orleans (-10.5) (8:00 PM ET)

Sunday:
Atlanta at New York (-3) (1:00 PM ET)
Pittsburgh (-8.5) at Denver (4:30 PM ET)

Bengals
Saints
Giants
Steelers

^^^ same

my bets for Saturday:

Texans -4 (hated giving 4 points here, but I feel like the Bengals are going to struggle to score much at all in this game)

Lions/Saints total points under 60.5 (obviously this is going to be very high scoring but 60.5 seems like such a ridiculous total)

tom hammond & mike mayock doin this 1st game

lol @ andy dalton in that interview with a.j. green: "the juggling team??"

bea arthur & mike mayock doin this 1st game

bea wore less makeup iirc

it is great to have 'heave the ball downfield at aj and hope for a PI call' in the playbook

"Antonio Smith, Shaolin Temple." <3

why are the announcers for this game on jay gruden's dick?

mixed up their grudens obv

that challenge is dumb

"he always has a smile, he just seems to enjoy life, and football, so much"

sorry marv, you didn't gain that one yard in your own half

on second down.

my god what a bad challenge.

refs be reffing this game

WOAH blatant offensive PI

bad houston penalties on both cincy scores

lol, how can you overturn that? another great challenge

obv catch

jesus marvin

Houston's got this

the timing of u posting that wld have been delicious if crocker couldve fukkin caught that

hope andre johnson doesnt reaggrevate a hammy by a fan slapping it

i just wanted to point out that i have been otm about this game

wade phillips coordinator of the century

*punter clearly in center of frame*
"and on 4th down & 3, cincinnati will go for it"

4 players covering green is clearly the way to defend the bengals

houston
saints
atl
steelers

hammond called schaub "shoob."

i loved JJ Watt as a Badger but holy crap he has been incredible this game

johnathan joseph revenge

lol otm someone needs to put this dude out to pasture already

no, sportscenter, steelers did not do the wrong thing by not letting SUISHAM try a 60+ yard field goal, he had no chance

entertainment-wise they did the wrong thing

@AdamSchefter
RT @j****: tim tebow's favorite bible verse is John 3:16. he threw for 316 yards today. Coincidence?

watched the last 3 minutes and ot in a local bar, love how quickly a full crazy bar transforms to a quiet half-empty zone after a devastating ot loss

not a coincidence. proof of jesus. xp

I always thought Tebow was a Phil 4:13 dude.

did you all see the cbs postgame guys tebowing <3

maybe josh mcd wasn't so wrong about his draft choices for denvers

tebow can only be beaten by one more holy than himself. he's gonna make belichick and brady pay for their mountain of sins next week

The Dark Lord awaits your savior. You shall feel the dark side of the force.

lol steelers
that game was fucking rigged for them too and they still couldn't beat the team that put up 3 at home on the Kansas City Chiefs

Starting RB out
Starting Safety out
Qb hobbled
Center and a couple linebackers banged up

Really the Steelers were setup to get beat, it's just the story around the sucky QB that makes it more suprising.

This run of the Broncos does oddly remind me a bit of Orton's rookie year with the Bears. Orton played pretty well for a while and the Bears did OK and down the strech he was just freaking horrible. They went ahead and replaced them by Sexy Rexy.

lol so much @ ben fedoraberger

well losing Mendenhall didn't seem to hurt them much, and I agree that the Steelers were probably going to get exposed at some point but I can't think of any playoff team that looked worse going in than the Broncos did (maybe last years Seahawks?)

actually I'm pretty impressed with Tebow this time. he's still missing open recievers but also threw some really great passes, dunno if he's been working really hard at these throws or if its a "every blind squirrel finds a nut" thing but at some points in this game he looked like a real quarterback

hah that whole game was amazing.

i watched the end in a cigar bar where this guy was screaming "there is no god!" or "there is a god!" after every key play

one of the steelers radio guys said he'd never seen a qb throw as many passes in warmups as tebow did

tebow also had 31.6 yards per completion

so someone was just messing w/pittsburgh with those media reports that quinn was taking half the reps on offense and the game plan didn't include much passing

ben wears that hat even better than jack abramoff did. well played roffles

lol pittsburgh you must be SO EMBARRASSED

tebow can only be beaten by one more holy than himself.

omg ryan fitz beat him! maybe this is true!

just woke up to the radio playing the OT TD call, feels great to wake up with a smile :)

deadspin's article on this is pretty good:

By treating Tebow as if he were the worst thrower in NFL history, the Steelers turned him into an NFL playoff winner.

http://deadspin.com/5874203/why-the-steelers-lost-to-tim-tebow

So far this season, Tim Tebow has been bad, then good, then bad again, then kind of OK for a while, then amazingly, atrociously bad. In Sunday's playoff game against the Steelers, the Denver quarterback/future eight-term U.S. president entered a bizarre quantum state in which he was both great and terrible at the same time.

lol

it's so true. and it was all enabled by pittsburgh's dumbass game plan.

what I love the most is Denver's final play - they ran on first down 20/20 times, sending the left side reciever in motion, then on the final play of OT, tossed a simple slant - only the safeties were so trained to try to blow up the play at the line on each first down that the slant became a touchdown

yeah it was a great play call and a real bad time to be playing cover 0

this is pretty fucked up

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7442751/green-bay-packers-offensive-coordinator-joe-philbin-son-missing

What does TJ Yates have to do to get some press. :/

beat tebow.

btw, i wanna go on record here: if tebow wins a ring this year, I am becoming a christian

the Texans obviously are happy with Yates, but it's not like he's Tommy Brady coming out of nowhere to dominate

the Texans have been rather underrated - their defense and run game are both top 5, they don't really need a top flight QB, just someone who won't destroy the team from the inside out like, say, whoever the Bears run out after Cutler

psh. if tebow wins a ring this year it will immediately inaugurate the rapture and at that point it will be too late to become a christian but we can chill on earth reading comics, playing video games, and surviving the onslaught of satan's army xp

If the Broncos win the Superbowl this year I *will* set something on fire.

Joe Philbin's son is dead, pulled from a river

so sad

That's terrible.

dang
