Anybody interested in a mid season live (skype or whatever) auction of all the teams? 2 separate drafts, 1 for each conference. If you draft a team and they make it to the superbowl you win. 4-6 drafters(?). $100 entry, can't pocket unspent money.

If Washington wins they move into the Wild Card ahead of Green Bay but not sure if #5 or #6.

Saints have toughest Strength of Schedule in the league and second-best Strength of Victory (behind only Kansas City).

I think average-weight Doug is gonna show us something tonight. Aggressive 4th downs let's go.

Andrew Senejo suspended for this ~standard hit. Football is unplayable.

You can tee off on people's heads anymore. GTO move is to probably sit and wait to see if the receiver breaks out of your teammate's tackle rather than clobbering him in the head and getting flagged/suspended.

after Wallace was laying dead on the field for about 5 seconds they finally drop a flag by his corpse. Sendejo goes for the concussion blow every game. Even if you do get a clean knockout hit in they are calling it everytime. Not sure that hit deserves a suspension but he definitely has a resume of questionable hits at this point.

Possibly, not sure it was then, and I thought when you said "confident" you meant more than "50/50." Then again I have enough riding as a fan that sweating my money over their season too is stress I don't need. Or maybe I'm just gun-shy after they put up three Fishers in a row and four Fishers in the last five seasons.

such a tough league to predict this year - their division in particular lurches from one week to another. Panthers look great, then lay an egg, Falcons beat the Packers but then forget how to score etc. Bucs started OK but can't be trusted now

I've made a load of money betting against the Saints in recent years - people have been rating them as contenders, off the back of Brees' fantasy stats, but their D has just stunk. I'd assumed this year would be similar but they're luring me in now - their D looks tough and the O line has improved a load

you know the saints really suck on the road when people are applauding them for beating Rodgerless packers team. Once inpredictable adjusts for the Rodgers injury the packers will be a bottom 4 team.
