Well at least the Bears won't get blown out next week.

Watched a few minutes of the Steelers vs Colts, but those Steeler throw back uniforms about made me barf.
I like the uniforms, I like the Steelers, I loved the game.
What a disappointing game for Cowboys fans last night. They didn't play up to their potential and should have won this one easily. I really don't think Romo should have gone back in the game after he re-injured his back. Also, RG3 had better look out, McCoy played well last night.
Agree, the defense was absent and they were unable to adjust against the blitz. Somehow, I think they should have kept running the ball on several pass plays and the score might have been different. I was impressed with Colt's play and Weeden should have been left in.
The Cubs? Bears sure won't be there..OK, we're about half way through the season. Any predictions on who will be in the Superbowl this season? I'm not sure it will happen but "I'd like to see" the Cowboys and Broncos.

Bears are one of my four teams I have season long win total bets. I thought 8 wins was a lock. That bet is going down in flames...fortunately my other 3 season over bets on Chargers, Steelers, and Lions are safely on pace to cash.

I'm looking forward to the Pats/Broncos match-up this weekend. While I am a diehard Patriots fan, I honestly think the Broncos are stronger at this point in the season.
If the "good" Patriots show up on Sunday (and not the team that KC spanked a month ago) it should be a helluva a game. If they can keep it close in the fourth quarter, anything can happen.
Don't feel bad. My bigger bets have been on some of the Seahawks and Broncos games (Saints too). Won some on the Broncos and lost some on the Seahawks. "It ain't over yet", but at this point I hope I can break even.
I'll go with Denver and Philly in the Super Bowl
OK, we're about half way through the season. Any predictions on who will be in the Superbowl this season based on the current standings? (Sure a lot can, and probably will change) I'm not sure it will happen but "I'd like to see" the Cowboys and Broncos.
For the last 10 years or so, there has been at least one team that went from worst to first, meaning the team finished last in their division in one year, then won the division the next year.
Anyone care to guess which of the 2013 last-place teams has the best chance to win their division in 2014?
Here's where they stand after Week Two...
I'll pick Buffalo.
I like Atlanta's chances.

Time for a mid-season update on the "worst to first" theory...
Here's where the candidates stand after 8 weeks.
Five of the nine have almost no chance:
Washington 3-5 (last)
Minnesota 3-5 (last)
St. Louis 2-5 (last)
Tampa Bay 1-6 (last)
Oakland - oh, never mind...
These four still have a chance:
Buffalo 5-3 (2nd, one game behind - but with a loss to the first place Pats)
Cleveland 4-3 (last by winning percentage, but only 1/2 game out of first)
Houston 4-4 (2nd, one game behind - with a loss to the first place Colts)
Atlanta 2-6 (3rd, 1-1/2 games out of first)
I found this site that attempts to use remaining strength of schedule to predict odds of making the playoffs.
2014 NFL Post Season Probabilities
Their odds for the fab four making the playoffs:
Buffalo 45%
Cleveland 22%
Houston 33%
Atlanta 6%, but already needs help
aja8888 can post two smilies now.
The strength of schedule guys say these teams have a 10% or greater chance of making the Big Game:
Denver 32%
Arizona 30%
Detroit 15%
Dallas 13%
New England 12%
Philadelphia 12%
Indianapolis 10%
I like how the spandex looks on any team.
