@Jett129 Da bears
It will be a close game, but the bears defense is pretty damn good this year and I like what I’m seeing with Williams. He’s starting to figure it out and the line is giving him the room to make the decisions he needs to make.I think that by next season, Williams should be very good unless he get’s injured. The defensive line should just keep doing what they have been, and the offensive line just needs to work together and make things happen.

@goosehd Thank you for the response,but I think that it's no small feat to have predicted the outcome of 6 consecutive sporting events. I think your strategy is beyond brilliant,so until we reset again,you can continue your streak,and maybe go undefeated. Years ago there was a group of blackjack dealers,in Vegas, who all put in a little money,maybe $28 each,and each week they would bet one game,with the spread,and if they won they would roll it over. It got to the point who they were betting would effect the line as people were following their exploits. And their bankroll had grown considerably. Last week of the season The Dolphins are coming to Chicago to play The Bears and a blizzard is forecasted. The blizzard showed up and so did The Dolphins beating Da Bears. You can do this!

@Jett129 I just heard on the local radio that covers Washington teams that Jayden Daniels has not been practicing this week and I'm assuming it was the Commanders coach that said if they don't practice the week prior to games he doesn't like playing them. I guess those ribs still hurt, which is understandable. I fell down slippery deck stairs one night and bruised/cracked a rib when I was in my 20s. Hit my head too...I couldn't lift my arm or breathe deeply without being in eye watering pain for weeks after.

We start off week 8 with 6 players left. @twistlock is rolling with the Chiefs over The Raiders. Fun fact…The Chiefs haven’t lost since the Raiders beat them soundly on Christmas Day las year. @Nocturama has The Chargers over The Saints @IrishHeart has The Lions over The Titans @Mizmazzle will be breaking out the socks for The Broncos over The Panthers and @Oaktavia will be fading The Eagles over The Bengals. Need a pick from @Matt and we’ll be good to go.

@IrishHeart , there's a simple explanation...
The Bears still suck!

@scooter just when I thought they were beginning to suck less!

@goosehd said in American Football (NFL):
The Bears defense stood around and waited for Daniel’s to throw the ball. Sure they put a little pressure on him, forced him out of the pocket, and then just stood there watching him. Unbelievable
Do you think that maybe they thought that time had run out and the game was over. I’m watching,like you,and thinking why aren’t they chasing him? Maybe they thought No Way,can he throw it. Pretty bizarre.
-
@Jett129 I think you’re right and they just assumed that it was over…The Commander’s fully deserved that victory and the Bears defensive line needs to wear that one…
Williams getting the ball down there at the end was impressive and the 2 point conversion was icing on the cake. That game should have been over at that point. Daniel’s moving the ball down the field was textbook though and he deserves every penny of his salary for that one.

Since no one is in on tonight’s game,let’s get right to it. Our Indigo Six Six Six all picked correctly. Excellent job. Let’s start with @Mizmazzle who knows there are 420 ways to loose a football game but only one way to win,you have to score more points than the other team which is exactly what the Denver Broncos did beating The Panthers 28-14. Didn’t even mention The coveted Socks. This is the year that one of my all time favorite rock n roll bands,The MC5,got inducted into The RnR Hall of Fame. Could this also be the year that The Detroit Lions,dare I say it,go to the Super Bowl. They looked like a well oiled machine out scoring The Titans 52-14,and driving @IrishHeart and @Matt into week 9. The slick pick of the week goes to @Oaktavia for picking the underdog Eagles to beat The Bengals,on the road,which they did,convincingly 37-17. And everyone in West Virginia could hear oaktavia singing Fly Eagles Fly. @Nocturama easily heads into week 9 as The Bolts/Chargers shock The Saints 26-8. And last but certainly not least @Twistlock picks the team everyone,loves to hate,these days and rolls a 7 as The Chiefs go to Las Vegas,roll the dice and The Raiders 27-20. Once again congratulations to everyone,and on to week #9. Football on Thursday,Sunday,and Monday. And for The Detroit Lions I leave you this…
