By the way, the 3 favoured home teams with either the Bills or Ravens combines for 30-1 if all taken at the 1-13 bracket #GambleResponsibly

Detroit 7-12 Eagles 1-6 KC 7-12 Bills 1-6 Bills/Ravens game to be decided by an error in the snow?!!? Hard to split them otherwise And the Rams are a real chance as is Washington (if the Commanders can somehow stifle Detroits offense)

Just announced that Channel 7 will be covering the 2 Tests from Sri Lanka (against Australia) First of 2 Tests starts Wed 29th January. 2nd Test starts Thursday 6th February Hours of play 3.30pm - 10.30pm (or thereabouts) Playing for the Warne/Muralitharan trophy and if Australia retain the trophy it will mean that Australia will hold every Test trophy where a trophy is up for grabs (involving Australia) Plus the ODI World cup trophy as well as the WTC Trophy Speaking of which, Australia will be up against South Africa in the WTC Championship that will be played at Lords June 11th - June 15th The other big match up during the Northern Summer is the 5 Test series between England & India (in England)

Buffalo is being listed at -7/-11 for the Sunday evening game (with snow showers) Scoreline might be minimal!

Not really, layz, but Love wasn't 100% Eagles win anyway and I reckon they can go all the way But no game is a gimme. A turnover or 2 in this sport can change the course of any game. So the Rams next weekend are in with a shot, no doubt

@Gorgoroth @Clintosaurus @JV7 @ElDiablo14 @DemonDave @Dr. Gonzo @layzie @BDA This week - 2 points for each win (H or A) & 2 points for each correct score bracket (1-6, 7-12, 13+) Next Week's Schedule (AEDT) Sun 8.30am Texans @ KC (-8.5) Sun 12.00pm Washington @ Detroit (-9.5) Mon 7.00am Rams @ Eagles (-6) Mon 10.30am Ravens (-1) @ Buffalo Leaderboard Tipping Comp 7 - Gorgoroth, Clintosaurus, JV7, ElDiablo14 6 - Dr.Gonzo, Macca 5 - BDA, layzie 4 - DemonDave

Darnold having a nightmare game

You should be further ahead on the scoreboard. Vikings have been ordinary (by their own standards)

Rams defence supreme Sacks, interceptions and pressuring Darnold constantly. Secondary well on top as well

Great start by the Rams!!

Love didn't look right but the Packers had the option of playing Willis But in all reality, getting past a top outfit like the Eagles on their turf was always a tall order for a team like the Packers In that situation you need a few things going your way like a pick 6 or recovering a fumble. Or a magical play or 2, leading to a TD or 2 And none of that happened. Scoring only 10 points told the story But the Packers should at least know what they need to do to become a genuine contender

Next Week's Schedule (AEDT) Sun 8.30am Texans @ KC (-8.5) Sun 12.00pm Washington @ Detroit (-8.5) Mon 7.00am Rams/Vikings @ Eagles (???) Mon 10.30am Ravens @ Buffalo (1.5)

So we now know that Washington go to Detroit next week And either the Rams or Vikes will be on the road to Philly Washington can win if they can somehow curtail the Lions scoring power (but I don't like their chances) And the Eagles match-up will be interesting, either way

Doink's it in off the right hand upright!

Geez the pressure on the kicker is huge!

Sorry to hear about your health, hardtack Thoughts and prayers are with you And I must take a look at Eggers's other movies. Have heard that the 3 you mentioned are all good

Washington finally get the TD ... they had enough chances!! Mind you, the Tampa defence stood up amazingly well 3 points in it!

Yeah, but it's what they do and it can get them to where they want to get to We see a ton of teams going for it on 4th down passing up the chance for a field goal these days with Detroit leading the way The days of just automatically taking the 3 point option are long gone. Also, on the road, in the playoffs, the road team are almost compelled to try and get TD's I still vividly remember the Packers (McCarthy) continuously taking the 3 point option against Seattle in an NFC Championship game 10 years ago yet he had Rodgers at the helm. In my view it cost the team victory with his boring, conservative thinking And a SB opportunity! The weird bit was that he (McCarthy) was usually all-in with Rodgers In that game the Packers scored 5* x 3 field goals and only 1 TD whilst Seattle scored 4 x TD's Packers @ Seattle Jan 15 I can fully understand the modern day thinking but more so when a team is on the road And not every time, obviously *On 2 occasions the ball was on the 3 yard line in that NFC Championship game

As for the Eagles, they are right in it despite not being at their absolute best today Philadelphia will be at home next week against the Rams, Vikes or Tampa (if Washington win today the Commanders will be at Detroit next week) The AFC match-ups are already decided ... Houston @ KC and the Ravens @ Buffalo

Packers never really in it despite getting within 6 points And the issues are overall (and that includes Jordan Love) ... we beat the teams we should beat and then struggle against the better teams. That's been the pattern the past 2 or 3 seasons Still, that's still a lot better than being a cellar-dwellar but we're not a true contender ... maybe next year

Came across a few more TV drama's that are worth a look 'The Diplomat' (Political drama and well made) 'The Night Agent' ('The Night Manager' from a few years ago is also very good) 'Monsieur Spade' (Set in the 50' & 60's, Clive Owen plays an American who is a Private Investigator in France) 'Saint-Pierre' (just out but looks promising) 'Patience' (also just out but with rave reviews) 'Slow Horses' is quite superb and 'The Old Man' is quite good
