Ravens do look very good and if they can bridge the 1 game gap on the Pats they'll then have the tie-break advantage. The Pats could easily win their last 5 games though with their only tough game being @ Houston next week. They are at home against KC in week 14 but they'll probably win that one. And home field throughout the playoffs for the Pats usually means another SB appearance. Pats schedule ... Ravens have to win-out the rest of the regular season Dappa to stand a chance for the 1 seed ... and that's do-able but they meet the 49ers next week (SB Preview?) Ravens vs Pats instead of Pats vs Ravens is probably a 15-20 point swing. Ravens schedule ... As for the Niners, their schedule is tough but they are playing really well. The Packers aren't that good but we were completely dismantled by San Francisco, all the same. San Francisco schedule ... The Saints stand in the way of the Niners for the 1 seed and they meet in the New Orleans dome in week 14 (Dec 9th) Saints schedule ... There's a lot of big games coming up in fact ... as it normally is in December. Packers, Vikings, KC & Seattle can all feature as well but all 4 teams probably need to win-out to have any chance of a bye during the playoffs Anyone up for the power index as per rating the 12 top teams? Or should we wait until after week 13?

49ers far too good ... their remaining schedule might in fact be tougher for their opponents rather than vice-versa One could argue that San Francisco would be 11 & 0 if Garoppolo's receivers didn't drop so many simple catches against Seattle. Packers remaining schedule isn't tough by any means but Green Bay just need to win their next game (at Giants)

My first reaction is that it just doesn't seem the right fit (similar to Jose at Man Utd) ... Spurs have traditionally played an enterprising and attacking brand of football and Jose's style is often anything but that. Hope it works for you & DZ and the rest of your fans but I have doubts. Jose's style only works if it turns into silverware and although Spurs haven't won big for a time you've at least been very watchable on the eye. Not sure what the hell happened with Poch - chocolates to boiled lollies in an instant. Jungle drums say he'll end up at Man Utd so we'll find out soon enough GV. Or maybe we won't

Tomorrow's divisional clash is line-ball though Dappa. The Chargers will take it up to the Chiefs and it might easily be a close game throughout. In fact the AFC West winner is up for grabs with the Chargers not far away in the standings along with the Raiders (who have won 5 of their last 7) The line is set at -4.5 (KC) which is often interpreted as the 'Vegas' line. Should or could be -6.5 or even down to -3.5 but the bookies would prefer to design the betting.

I went with your pick in the multi (later on) but earlier on I used DZ's & my pick together with what I thought were a couple of 'Sure-things' (Vikings - NFL & France - Euro Qualifier) ... just to boost up the overall odds by 60%. Got the collect eventually with England scoring the 4th goal in the 90th minute along with the Vikings coming back to win after being down 0 - 20 at half time! Always need a bit of luck with any collect Wadda.

Apparently you're barracking strong for the Chargers tomorrow? But as of right now you are leading the tipping comp DZ!

Lakers & Celtics leading their respective conferences ... that's a throwback And haven't the Warriors fallen away? Clippers have their next 5 at home so their record could easily improve. There's a lot of teams in it this season including your Sixers.

Your D is very good (2nd in yards allowed) so Garoppolo doesn't necessarily need to be a star QB. Your running game is 2nd in the league too (behind the Ravens only) so Garoppolo just needs to be managed well. The Packers/49ers is a good match-up too as the Packers have improved their D and their running game as well. Thus, taking the pressure off Rodgers (about time!)

The racing continues on at Sandown this Saturday along with a couple of feature races at Newcastle which includes the inaugural running of the $1Million Hunter Stakes - good field assembled too.

The 'Interception' from Goroppolo was from a muffed catch by one of his receivers and they dropped a few other easy ones including one in the end zone for a missed TD. Those QBR ratings often don't tell the true story GtB Packers have got the bye then we come to your house in week 12. A Mini-showdown or perhaps even more significant with regards to the outcome. As always, may the better team win.

A tie might have been a more fitting result as there was nothing between the 2 sides in a riotous affair. I thought Garoppolo was reasonably good without being outstanding. He's had better games this year though so there's upside. Both QB's were about as good as each other today. Whoever had the ball last ultimately won the game so the Niners were a tad unlucky. The Packers go to San Francisco in 2 weeks time and that result will have ramifications with the Vikings & Seattle looming large in each respective division.
