6 of 6 Lament

There were four other games yesterday in which the teams scheduled to play this Thursday won and covered the spread.

Surprisingly and due to Nantz getting a normally Fox/Buck Seattle/Philly tilt, “The Emperor”Joe Buck and the officially annoying Troy Aikman (the former quarterback went on and on about a penalty on a defensive linemen late in the tilt. I would have said so what down 6, the crowd roaring, 50 seconds left it was not going to matter), were in “Minne” as the now (6-4) Vikings ended a 4 game loss skein, (minus 2 or so) (30-24) vs the (4-5-1) Arizona Cardinals. Minne is at Detroit in the traditional game Thursday. Of course there are now two other “traditional” games in the overexposed NFL.

Detroit also is (6-4) tied with “Minne” for the NFC North lead after covering late vs (2-8) Jacksonville. Was their 43 yard field goal with 22 seconds remaining that cov’d, necessary?

(5-5) Indy will host Pittsburgh, also (5-5) at night. The Colts of Indy won by 7, as 3 point faves vs Tennessee. Meanwhile Pitts won (24-9), as 8 point favorites vs the (0-10) Browns.
