NFL Update

Five of the six (3-0) teams that played in week 4 of the current NFL season won. Another, New England had a bye, before their “Jim Nantz Texas dream doubleheader’ game at Dallas, vs the Cowboys this Sunday. Mr. Nantz also gets to call Indy Colts at his dream city, Houston (Texans) on Thursday night.

The Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers in earlier games and the Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos in later tilts, won to raise their records to (4-0).

The St. Louis Rams derailed (“3:10 to Yuma” anyone?) the Arizona Cardinals home game attempt to also go to (4-0).

Three of the four (0-3) teams won and avoided (0-4) starts.

Last Thursday night, the Baltimore Ravens were given a gift win at Pittsburgh vs the Steelers as “Pitts” coach Mike Tomlin was just that (the pits) with some questionable, game and point spread affected, coaching decisions.

A great clutch kicker, Robbie Gould booted the decisive field goal, as the Chicago Bears avoided an (0-4) start with a win vs the Oakland Raiders. The New Orleans Saints also won their first, covering the point spread, on NOT the fastest score in NFL overtime history, as I am told was stated on the NBC broadcast. The Saints won at home vs the Dallas Cowboys.

On Monday night, the Seattle Seahawks, participants in the last two Super Bowls, winning then losing, sent the Detroit Lions to (0-4), surviving for a 3 point win, as a 10 point favorite.
