Sunday Afternoon Football- Open Thread
I have the Pats fighting for their playoff lives (a loss locks them out of the playoffs) and the battle for the number one seed in the AFC for my early games.
[UPDATE] Big game later today between Atlanta and Minnesota. I'm thinking the line on Kurt Warner turnovers in Foxborough today is somewhere around 5. Pittsburgh should beat a depleted Tennessee team. If they don't, Pittsburgh is not as good as everyone thinks. My upset today: Detroit wins over New Orleans. Enjoy the early games, and follow our fellow SB Nation bloggers at the NFL Scoreboard hub below.--BBS

I actually want the Pats to win. That way, when they lose out on tiebreakers to like three teams, it’ll be that much sweeter.
Also, we’ve completely owned Baltimore, and they’re better than anyone in the AFC East, and perfectly capable of beating Pittsburgh in January. I’d like to host an AFC Championship game in the Luke.

\What games you guys got?
on CBS I have Chargers at Buccaneers and on FOX I have Cardinals at Patriots and Falcons at Vikings.
I hate the Titans..
but they are getting seriously disrespected in the media. What is with all the Stiller love but no love for the AFC South?
It is our job to discount the Titans, not ESPNs!
Go Colts!
Cards are so losing today...
they are East, it is snowing, and they are in Foxboro. No way they win.
Go Colts!
They've also pretty much desided to coast into the playoffs with the 4 seed
