6 of 7 road teams prevailed in the early games and 3 of 5 teams lead in the late games Might be another clean sweep by all participants (again) in the tipping comp

The Bills have been very good and if they can make it a 3 score game after this drive, they might be home

Chiefs, Ravens, Washington

Here's a book written in the 1850's about the fascinating life of William Buckley (Buckley's Chance) It tells the story of convict William Buckley who escaped from captivity during an exploration of Port Philip in 1802 (specifically Sorrento) ... he consequently lived and roamed with the indigenous people of Victoria until 1835 when John Batman and Pascoe-Fawkner arrived and soon after settled in Melbourne Obviously, the book is out in the public domain so a bit of summer reading for those that are interested The Life and Adventures of William Buckley

You'd be annoyed if you didn't pick up 3 points in the tipping comp this week Chiefs, Cinci, Washington, Atlanta & Baltimore should all win against mediocre (or lesser) opposition But the week has at least 8 very good match-ups starting tomorrow with the Rams @ 49ers Bills @ Lions, Steelers @ Eagles, Packers @ Seattle, Bucs @ Chargers, Commanders @ Saints, Colts @ Denver and Dolphins @ Texans could all go either way and all the results of those games have play-off implications

Well, the Rams are right back in the hunt now after that win Might come down to that last game vs Seattle

Ha ha! Too much of that home brew, Gorg?

Saints, Seahawks, Bills

Merseyside clash at 11.30pm tonight has been postponed (Storm alert)

The Aussies won all 3 sessions but it still doesn't feel like we have any sort of advantage We probably need to make 300+ in our first innings to have a clear advantage and that is a fair way off Still, Marnus & McSweeney battled very hard to get through to stumps so kudos to those 2 We bowled well and we look right up for the contest but a big score in the first innings is required

4 of 5 4th Downs made by Detroit (Dan Campbell) Amazing risk-taker Better team won

Old news 😁

They (Detroit) are just a really good team Packers get the ball first in the 2nd half and have to score a TD ... field goals won't win this match as Deroit will almost certainly put up 30+

Exactly The Lions are playing like their defence is at full strength!! The Packers 9 & 3 record is flattering as we've had a soft schedule

If the Packers are going to feature prominently in the playoffs, we'll need to win this match against a banged up Detroit defence In saying that, Detroit still have plenty of weapons on their offense (averaging 32 points per game) Might be a shoot-out as the Green Bay offense has been quite reasonable this season

Living proof that it's near impossible to contend if your best players are constantly injured Meanwhile, your division is almost impossible to call Going to be hard for the Niners now as any of the teams will need 9 or 10 wins with head-to-head and divisional record maybe being a factor Rams will probably need to beat the Bills next week but after that, all your games are winnable so you never know NFC North goes to the Lions as I can't see them taking their foot off the pedal. Vikes & Pack should get wild-card spots NFC South is up for grabs (Falcons or Tampa) whilst the Eagles should secure the East. Washington for the other wild-card looks likely

Just a heads up for the remainder of the season Weeks 14, 15 & 16 we play for 3 points (and 1 point for 2 out of 3) ... plus a bonus point if you are the only winner (3 from 3 only) Then we play for double points in weeks 17 & 18 Leaderboard Tipping Comp 32 - Go the Biff (6), Dr.Gonzo (6) 30 - Clintosaurus (6) 29 - DemonDave (6), layzie (6) 28 - titan_uranus (6), Gorgoroth (6) 27 - JV7 (6) 26 - BDA (6), DeeSpencer (6) 23 - ElDiablo14 (6), Macca (6) 9 - DeeZephyr (AWOL)

Well that's a first ... everyone picked up maximum points!! (6) Whatever happened to home field advantage! This comp is too easy!!! 🤣

3.00am tomorrow morning (Monday) Liverpool vs Man City Season definer, win lose or draw. A draw suits Liverpool way more than Man City In fact, City have to win the match as they can't assume that Liverpool will be dropping points in a hurry

NFL Picks Week 13 (45 Minutes

Yeah that's true but if the projection is A grade or even A grade Elite, then all 4 are a ways off I reckon the sky is the limit with all 4 and considering that the team has been in strong contention for 3 of the last 4 years (and not old as a collective), having 4 such promising young players is quite amazing In previous times, there's no way we would have manipulated our way into such a position The rebuild is happening whilst we are still in the window

Can we have a Summer league?!! 😄 No idea how you would do it but maybe tackle free? Or for non-listed players On the old 'World of Sport' back in the day, (in the off-season) they used to conduct an indoor footy comp but with the use of handball only Looking back, that indoor handball comp was a a bit of a pre-curser to how the footy is moved around in close-quarters these days And then of course we had the Footy Olympics in the off-season (might have been on Ch9) I believe the Demons won one year but Tuddy used to dominate the long distance run

I might have Kolt 4th instead of Lindsay but that aside, all 4 have shown us a glimpse of how good they could be. I might even have XL as 2nd. Langford on top And if Petracca, Viney, Oliver, Langdon & Rivers all shine around the midfield next season, then the 4 newby's will have an easier time of it with regards to their development (on field) Regardless, it's exciting times and we can leave the gloom of 2024 behind us
