10 of 14 games on FTA so even though we've been largely relegated from Prime time, we are still going to be quite visible to the masses. Helps our sponsors too And the overall match-ups aren't difficult at all. So in effect, finishing 14th gave us a much easier draw and set us up for 2 picks inside the top 10 in the draft We play the following teams once only ... Sydney, Brisbane, Geelong, Port, Freo, GWS, Carlton, Essendon & Doggies (all of whom could be described as finals contenders) So, considering that our list is still in quite good shape (injuries aside), we've been gifted a golden opportunity ... especially if those 2 draft picks have an impact in their first year. One draftee (at least) might be a plug-in-and-play type And despite all the other issues we've had, that stuff will be forgotten quickly if we start winning from the get-go. Flying under the radar with an underdog status can be a real advantage as well as an us-against-them mentality The MC need to use every means possible for a top 4 finish But much will depend on Petracca & Oliver. If both get back to their best, the sky is the limit Top 8 at a minimum but if we have a 2021 type year with regards to injuries, we can contend again Bring on the draft and let JT work his magic

Chiefs Texans Ravens

And we'll probably get 30k+ to the game as opposed to the 16k we got on that Saturday night last season Our supporters base is bordering on ancient so the day games appeal Bring on the Red Sherrin! (personally, I always preferred the Ross Faulkner as the torpies went further)

Bewdy! Day games, here we come! (under the radar?) Suits our supporters base too (not sure about the sponsors though) But I agree with @Clintosaurus ... we got abandoned rather quickly. Surely we haven't regressed to Neeldesque-like proportions, have we?

There was never an original series, only the 1973 movie and also the Bruce Willis movie called 'The Jackal' (which was just average) The 1973 Movie was superb and still stands up today. Often remakes fail but the current mini-series is excellent and stands with the 1973 Movie They are both very good Here's the trailer from the 1973 Movie

They are a team that likes taking risks and are good to watch ... led by their coach, Dan Campbell with his attacking nature It might just be their year ... right now, they are the best team in the NFC Of course, KC are still undefeated in the AFC

Episode 5 was fantastic with the usual cliff-hanger finish! In fact, the series (The Day of the Jackal) gets better with each episode Highly recommended Footnote: The original film starring Edward Fox was a real favourite of mine but this new series really stands up on its own

Tuffers! Did you know that he is a qualified Silversmith? (or was) His family supply artefacts to the Royal family As for Goff and the intercepts, when interviewed today he put the picks down to bad luck!! Haha

Lions win despite Goff being picked 5 times!!!

The Day of the Jackal is excellent Moves at high pace with numerous story lines. The 2 leads play their roles superbly

Bills Falcons, 49ers

Beast mode on 7Mate now!

Stafford marches the Rams downfield and the Rams win! Great catch by Robinson in the end zone

Seattle had to try for the field goal there and trust their defence Poor call

Wild game at Seattle Geno Smith with another interception (this time an absolute shocker!!)

Houston, Saints, Washington

There's a lot of sport that I would like watch but don't have the time ... for instance I'd like to get right into ice-hockey but I'd need a spare 10-15 hours per week So I tend to just watch a few highlights packages apart from when it comes to test cricket or the MFC NFL gets a bit of my time but not as much as I'd like But how many teams can we have a genuine attachment to, with real passion? I'd say 3 but my third one floats about (Olympics, EPL, MLB, Golf, Tennis etc)

I should have said any game, any time over any number of years for all teams in any sport! haha! It works the same with penalties, infringements, frees or other adjudications All things considered, Winston had a good match given that he is deemed to be a below average, back-up QB Luck was on his side but when you get lucky, you lap it up because the bad luck is just around the corner As an aside, if Carson Wentz doesn't get injured in the year when the Eagles won the SB, do they win with Foles on the sidelines? I wonder Jordan Love out injured for the Packers but are Green Bay a better team with Willis as the QB? Again, I wonder

This song was in the closing credits of series 2, episode 9 of 'Only Murders in the Building'

In the U.S they talk about the sporting Equinox The NFL, NBA, MLB & NHL all played on the same day. You could throw in the MLS as well as the ultra popular College Football It must be nuts being a sports fan in the USA ... so many teams and so many games. Every day!
