Sunday Posts, Pt. 2

3:55-Ok, Matt Hasselbeck just threw a pick-6, and I'm starting to get a little worried. The Giants have scored 21 points in the first 5 and a half minutes of the fourth quarter. Weird stat line for Hasselbeck today: 33 attempts, five touchdowns, three interceptions. Seahawks can't get anything going to run out the clock. Giants are an odd team. They don't seem to have a pass rush and they're pretty bad in coverage, but they're great against the run. Eli Manning may be the greatest quarterback of all time against a prevent defense. I don't understand why you'd even go into the prevent against him. He's much, much worse when pressured, and the biggest knock against him is that he's wildly inaccurate. Why would you give him wide open receivers to throw to. Alright, not going to worry anymore about that one. Hawks still have it locked up. I'm loving Mack Strong, certified running threat.

Philly's got their game locked up, and that game's gone way over. Four minutes left in St. Louis-Arizona, with the Rams up two points. That one looks like a lock to hit the under at 16-14 with the o/u at 44.5. Cleveland-Baltimore's the only one that looks like a loss, though Baltimore might be able to eke out a win. They're in field goal range down two with under 30 seconds to go.

3:24-These games are going very well for me. I thought the Seahawks would win fairly easily, but this is ridiculous. Watching a Manning suffer is one of life's great joys. I'm loving the Seahawks defense this year. The impact of Ken Hamlin's return has been greatly underestimated so far. The Eagles are spanking the Niners; they had almost 350 yards of offense at the half. The only question is whether they hit the over on that game; only ten points to go. Rams are up on the Cards, 16-7, and in line to go well under. The Ravens have been my only disappointment thus far, looking bad on offense, and getting torched by the immortal combo of Chaz Frye and Braylon Edwards. Oh well. Can't win them all.

Afternoon games are Seahawks-Giants, Rams-Cardinals, Eagles-Niners, and Ravens-Browns. I have the Seahawks and Eagles as best bets, giving 3.5 and 6 points, respectively. I also recommended the over for the Eagles and the under for the Rams-Cardinals. Seahawks are already up 14-0. I'm loving it. Each team's first drive ended in an interception. Eli Manning is a little bitch. Philly's already up 14-0, too, with McNabb throwing two first quarter TD's. Arizona's up 7-0 in the first, and Baltimore's up 3-0, early in the second.

Erm, looks like you were right on the points that we disagreed on. The lesson as always: I'm an idiot.(stolen from Simmons).

I'm a little worried that people are going to overvalue this Hawks win. We aren't quite 35-3 better than the Giants and every game won't be this easy. I'm pretty damn amped for next week's game, I think that will show us a lot more about the boys in electric green.

BTW, have you seen this web page?

Trevor Hoffman is the man. I saw him enter to Hells Bells last year and it was one of the coolest moments of my baseball life...and there have been a lot of cool moments.
