hardly deserving of a thread all of its own.

As someone from ESPN recently said, NFL is the biggest sport in America. College Football is the second biggest.

by lardbucket Sun 04 Dec 2011, 02:59

and Americans are its biggest fans

As I've said before, I can understand people in states/cities without an NFL team going to support their local college as there isn't a "second tier" professional league or anything. Why it gets any international interest is beyond me though, except for maybe who the names to watch out for in next year's draft are.

So, Packers for 16-0 or Colts for 0-16? Or perhaps both?

by JGK Sun 04 Dec 2011, 11:41

Packers will lose a game I reckon.

Colts won't win one.

College Football looks like it will get the all SEC match up for the national title, with most pundits pointing to LSU vs Alabama for the national championship game. Cool

Nearly got it right today. Except Rogers has gone 68 yards in 5 plays in the last minute for GB to get the winning FG.

As they're first and second that's pretty much a given. Interesting that 'Bama didn't get all the second place votes.

Yes, amazing how a team that loses to a unranked opponent can get second place votes can get votes over a side that went down in OT to the number 1 ranked side. Shocked

At least commonsense prevailed in the end. Cool

FMD, Tebow and the Broncos do it again with a 59 yard field goal with 3 seconds left to tie it up and then a 51 yard FG to win.

Classic at the moment between Giants and Cowboys.

by Bradman Mon 12 Dec 2011, 04:55

The Cowboys and December?

by JGK Mon 12 Dec 2011, 04:58

Giants win as COwboys have a blocked FG with 0.01 left.

by Bradman Mon 12 Dec 2011, 05:03

Giants take it up to GB and dallas lose to Arizona. Then this. And the AFC seems to be coming good at the business end.

Tebowing - the craze sweeping the nation...

Even Nathan Lyon is doing it

Tebow has a reason.

by bodyline Wed 14 Dec 2011, 02:05

But will Fev????

by Bradman Wed 14 Dec 2011, 02:08

Well it's either that or boxing. My son's goldfish is tougher than NFL punters. Could probably kick it further too.

by embee Wed 14 Dec 2011, 02:11

Goldfish are notoriously sh!t at "hangtime" though , qmy

by embee Wed 14 Dec 2011, 02:12

Does Fev know that NFL punting has nothing to do with placing bets on the game?

by Bradman Wed 14 Dec 2011, 02:13

Good point. Hangtime might be Fev's problem.

How could he box when his chin sticks out so far?????

Not sure about that. The last time I threw a goldfish the hangtime was pretty good.

Neither. Packs lose, Colts win.
