Minnesota Vikings vs. Kansas City Chiefs Preview and Prediction
September 30, 2011 By 2 Comments
“If the Vikings lose this game I’m never watching them again.”
The above line, spoken by my father, is the first memory I have from watching Minnesota Vikings football.
From what I remember, Warren Moon was the quarterback so I was somewhere around five years old at the time. I also remember that the Vikings did indeed lose that game, yet the next weekend my dad was back on the couch watching the Vikings.
“If you are going to be a Vikings fan, you better get used to it. This happens to them all the time.”

As I sat at my family’s usual table at BW3′s while the first slate of Sunday’s games wound down, I realized that every single game being shown was within a touchdown. Now that’s what I call one hell of a Sunday.
The fun even kept up during the primetime games, as the PIT-Indy game was much better than I thought, and the Dallas-Washington game was exciting even if a little bit ugly.
In Week 4, there are a number of interesting matchups that have my interest piqued, plus an exciting surprise for those of you who will be watching the Redskins-Rams game.

Update 9/28: This post has been updated. All spreads and picks are in.
I had another solid effort in Week 3. Heading into tonight’s Monday nighter between the Packers and Bears, I am 9-6 for the week against the spread. That makes my season record 27-17-3 (a winning percentage of 57%) and means I’ve been over .500 all three weeks this season.
Hell yes. That means I’ve started out much more like the Dolphins or Falcons than the 49ers.
It’s only Monday, but it’s never too early to look ahead to Week 4.

Update 9/28: This post has been updated with the odds and announcer assignments.
Week 3 was the last week with a full slate of games for a while. The byes start in Week 4, and both the Cowboys and Vikings were able to get Ws so that they don’t have to sit around all week at 0-3.
Among the highlights on the Week 4 NFL schedule: an AFC North showdown between the Ravens and Steelers; a Monday night tilt between the Dolphins and Patriots; and, Donovan McNabb’s return to Philadelphia.

October 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Courtesy of @TheGNUru, just saw that the latest injury update on Lions running back Kevin Smith is tha this prognosis seems to be improving by the hour.
After reports earlier today listed Smith’s status as uncertain (the dreaded “game time decision), Smith has now reportedly told the Detroit Free Press that he is healthy enough to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
“It’s football, so I’m sure I’ll have to endure some pain, but it’s good enough to go. I feel healthy enough to play at a high level,” Smith said.
Sunday Night Football Preview, Analysis, and Prediction: San Diego Chargers at Pittsburgh Steelers
October 1, 2009 By 2 Comments
The Steelers are finding out how hard it is to be considered the defending champs.
This past Sunday, the Steelers suffered a jaw-dropping loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, as the Bengals dropped 14 on Pittsburgh in the 4th Quarter, led by stellar play from QB Carson Palmer, while leaving the Steelers out to dry with zero points of their own.
As a matter of fact, the Steelers proved recently that they can struggle with defending their title, considering the fact that the Steelers of ’06 also started the season with a 1-2 record, which was the same season they last missed out on the playoffs with a dead even 8-8 record.
Is history already doomed to repeat itself this season? Or can the contemporary “Steel Curtain” help itself in the W category and get things turned around week against San Diego?
Here is what you need to know about Sunday night’s Chargers-Steelers tilt:
