(25,878 posts)does Stafford retire? I think so. But if the Rams fall short of a Super Bowl, does Stafford come back next year? I'm not sure.
MiHale
(12,641 posts)Matthew is playing because the alternative is at home with 5 girls, needs his guy time. Yes its kinda wrong,
I think hell play till he drops.
True Dough
(25,878 posts)Different sports, obviously. And Kershaw went out with another World Series.
So, we shall see...

Im rooting for Da Bears. I like both teams but Caleb is as advertised. Hes impromptu and can flick it like Mahomes. Fun to watch.
The Niners can put up a lot of points. The Iggles have scored more than 20 only 3 times since their bye week (9 games) - 2 of those were against the Raiders and DC. They mustered 21 in a loss to Dallas. All 3 of those defenses could suck-start a Harley. They also have only given up 20+ 3 times in the same span. If its a grind - Philly. If its not - SF.
Today Charlotte looks mostly dry but rain and thunder will be near. Chicago is going to be cold and windy (16MPH) at game time

Favorite / Spread / Underdog (Home team in CAPS)
L.A. Rams / 10.5 / CAROLINA
Green Bay / 1.5 / CHICAGO
Buffalo / 1 / JACKSONVILLE
PHILADELPHIA / 5.5 / San Francisco
NEW ENGLAND / 3.5 / L.A. Chargers
Houston / 3 / PITTSBURGH
------------------------
I'll take all the favorites to beat the spread except for the Rams. They'll win the game but 10 1/2 pts is too much to give IMO.

(25,907 posts)I think 49ers take the Eagles and I'm praying for a miracle and Steelers punch Houston in the mouth and win!
I'm a Jaguars fan and a 2ndary 49ers fan and HATE Houston.

(32,893 posts)plus, Vic Fangio owns Kyle Shanahan. I expect a bloodbath and a big Philly win.

(904 posts)I discovered as a young adult that I really like gambling, so I don't do it. I enjoy predicting football games (badly), but I would never put money on it. I am very happy I was wrong about the Packers winning.
