NFL PL Week 9 (NFL Week 11).. Deadline: 20 Nov @ 18:00 17:34 - Nov 14 with 558 viewsWessiehomesPete

TINJAKE trimmed 3 massive points off Thrillseeker's lead with a weekend-best 5-4 and 7 points... BROMLEYU added a second-best 6 points (5-4), climbing to 6th and looking to have a realistic chance at the title with plenty of weeks to go... RSCOSWORTH managed the nearly impossible, 1-8 and 2 points...

*Having said all that, who knew 3-6 could be considered a decent week, my five points due to picking both Washington and Dallas correct (same as Tinjake, turns out)... THRILLSEEKER and DURHAM_EXILE also with ho-hum weeks... MFB_CUFC's 2-7 and 3 points is one of those what-can-you-say weeks. After all he selected Week 8 fixtures... We'll move on...

*Only BromleyU had the Los Angeles Rams winning (a scintillating 9-6 at the New York Jets)... No one had Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans... Durham_Exile had faith in a Denver Broncos victory in New Orleans...

Worth 1 point each
HOUSTON 24 at Jacksonville 21
DENVER 25 at New Orleans 23
LOS ANGELES 9 at N.Y. Jets 6
Atlanta 15 at PHILADELPHIA 24
KANSAS CITY 20 at Carolina 17
MIAMI 31 at San Diego 24

Worth 2 points each
Minnesota 20 at WASHINGTON 26
Green Bay 25 at TENNESSEE 47
DALLAS 35 at Pittsburgh 30

Notes: Vikings after a 5-0 start have dropped their last four... Green Bay at 4-5 need to solve their problems fast as they play at the Washington Redskins on Sunday Night Football, a cruel stage in which to be embarrassed... In Dallas, an amazing 8-1 now, the talk is more and more that Tony Romo's days as quarterback are numbered in the "Big D" as rookie Dak Prescott can do no wrong; that begs the question where would be a good fit for Romo? It's not as if he doesn't have a potential 2-3 more great seasons in him. Chicago Bears? San Francisco? ... Speaking of the Niners, SF 20 at Arizona Cardinals 23. 49ers continue their meltdown, a lowly 1-8 ... The Seattle Seahawks 31 at New England Patriots 24. Now there's a shock result...

The sobering Updated Table:

1. THRILLSEEKER ... (3-6) ............... 40-32 ... (+4) ..... (56 points)
2. tinjake ... (5-4) ......................... 38-34 ... (+7) ..... (54)
3. WessiehomesPete ... (3-6)............. 39-33 ... (+5) ..... (53)
4. durham_exile ... (3-6) ................. 40-32 ... (+4) ..... (51)
5. mfb_cufc ... (2-7) ...................... 39-33 ... (+3) ..... (51)
6. BromleyU ... (5-4) ...................... 34-29 ... (+6) ..... (45)
7. RSCOSWORTH ... (1-8) ................. 31-29 ... (+2) ..... (42)

I edited the post above from Houston at Oakland to:

HOUSTON TEXANS v OAKLAND RAIDERS as the game is not being played in Oakland, California Monday night, but rather at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico. It's the first game since 2005 that America's southern neighbors have hosted an NFL game.

It's hard to say if this is nonetheless a neutral site matchup as the Silver & Black of Raiders Nation have a huge following in the USA and beyond.

Anyway, something to consider when picking this 2-pointer.

...

Looks like RG III (Robert Griffin the 3rd), one-time Redskins superstar, will start at quarterback for Cleveland this week. You'd think the Browns will eventually win a game. Pittsburgh have looked very shaky this season, so while Cleveland is an eye-watering 0-10 so far, this could be the week when it's the Steelers (4-5) who become their first victim.

Some quality games on Sky Sports this Sunday:

Baltimore Ravens at Dallas Cowboys (17:30 .. 18:00 kickoff)
Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles Rams (21:00 .. 21:25 kickoff)

Ravens are the local team about 25 miles northeast of Washington. The Cowboys are the hated rivals of the Redskins. Miami at Los Angeles is one of our two-pointers.

Green Bay at Washington is not on Sky. Not sure which channel, but possibly ITV?

Didn't you Inbox me??

I was actually "this close" to take my gal to Mexico City to be at the Azteca (86,000)...

I do eBay selling, comics, cards,.. Raiders cards sell so easy. No one wants Chicago Bears, New England Patriots.

They want Packers, Raiders, Redskins, Bills (for some reason), Dolphins..

Any of you, inbox me an address. I will send you 6-8 cards of your favourite NFL team for Christmas.

.. even if you're not in our NFL PL :)

RSCOSWORTH, you're not one to miss a week.

TINJAKE on the OMB also has a habit of posting early ... or last minute.

Still a mountain of points to be gotten, and I haven't had my 2-3 weeks of 2-7's yet.

Once the NFL reaches the playoffs there will be plenty of points to be nicked. The Super Bowl will be its own little comp with exotic Vegas picks, as they're called, like over-under, point spreads, passing yards, rushing yards, turnovers.. and the famous pick the final score.

But our NFL prediction league to crown a champion is when the AFC and NFC conferences determine their two representatives.

For those who peek in because they like the odd-shaped ball, The NFC and the AFC have a way-back history of being separate leagues. It was the Super Bowl in the 60s that combined two important leagues. It was even during a time when college football was king.

That's why you still get 100,000 in Ann Arbor, Michigan for Michigan Wolverines games but maybe only 55,000 to see the Detroit Lions. Or Ohio State also gets 100,000 in Columbus, Ohio, while Cleveland and Cincinnati are lucky to have 60,000 in their stadiums.

The University of Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa City, same thing. 70,000, and in this case Iowa is a state with no pro team (not NFL, hoops, hockey, football). The culture of College football goes back to the late 1800s.

Difficult to explain how college football rules. Well, but at least I try to make this PL interesting.

Good luck all.
