Well, I'm out of Survivor Pool. I don't feel too bad about it, according to one source I found, last year only 0.8 percent of folks made it to Week 13. And it's my own fault -- I never should have gone against the Bengals.
Meanwhile, the season continues. Here is the latest ESPN Top Ten, which reflects San Francisco's crushing win in Philly:
1. San Francisco: 9-3
2. Philadelphia: 10-2
3. Miami: 9-3
4. Baltimore: 9-3
5. Dallas: 9-3
6. Detroit: 9-3
7. Kansas City: 8-4
8. Jacksonville: 8-4
9. Buffalo: 6-6
10. Houston: 7-5
How about those Texans? Go back and read our coverage of the Georgia/Ohio State game, and you'll see that C.J. Stroud should have won the National Championship last year.
I think the Game of the Week is the Sunday Night Game, with the Eagles going to Dallas for a big showdown with the Cowboys. But Buffalo is also going to Kansas City for a 3:25 PM Central game on Sunday afternoon, and that will feel almost like an elimination game for two struggling but very proud teams. So that's a solid seven hours of football that should keep you fully entertained.

I would not put any money on Georgia to cover. I've seen Saban teams in the past show up to a bowl when they were aiming for a championship and just not play. I could see the same for Georgia since their coach is a Saban guy and FSU will actually care.
DeleteI agree and I was surprised to see that number for Georgia.
DeleteAs I expected, Buffalo took out the Chiefs. Buffalo's biggest problem is motivation, and they are always motivated to play Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteNow Dallas leads Philly 24-6 at the half, and the Cowboys look like a machine. I can't remember a Dallas team that looked better in December since the mid-1990's.
ReplyDeleteI woke up at 3:30 this morning worried both that the Dolphins are going to lose out the rest of the regular season and that Trump is going to get the Republican nomination.
