Vegas would be a great NFL city, not sure about the NHL there though.

Oh and in case anyone was wondering, there is no such thing as the Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge...Nantz just making shit up.
That was the Zakim Bridge.

Patriots' 2nd bye put up a better fight than I expected, but they still pulled through comfortably.

Well I wish I'd put a multi on today, I mentally called those results hours ago.

My best friend has lived in Vegas for about 10 years now... he seems to think the hockey team will do great with locals, possibly even better than the football team... where half the tickets will be held for hosts and what not.
The big question on the move is whether the casinos will keep the local team up on the board. Will certainly be a topic of discussion between the league over the next few years.

I can see football games being destination weekends for fans of the visiting team,

Wow!
Ha!
Completely. They'll make money on the stadium, no doubt. The question is if the team will be embraced locally. It doesn't matter as much with the NFL, but it would be nice.

If the Steelers only get field goals next week as well, I'm ok with that.

Will you play RB as well?

Gove Monty a full off season to learn the RB position and he'll be even better.
My only disappointment is that we're not going to Seattle. I wanted the Packers to right the wrong from 2 years ago.
Atlanta should be a good game next week. I think the winner may be determined by the turnover ratio (as many games are).

Haha, I have no problem with 88, I was just joking around.

the over opened at 58.5, which is just silly. it's still sitting at 60, which is also just dumb. i imagine it'll go up some more from here and probably settle in the 63-65 range, with the spread being 2.5 at kick off.
but right now... Green Bay +4, +170 money line and over 60 have all been hammered by this guy.

Trying not to be overconfident going into the week. Atlanta is for real. Not sure Matt Ryan can match Rodgers at his best though.

I think whichever defense makes one stop may win that game. Has the makings of 42-38.
Oh I think it'll be a close game, no doubt. I could easily see Atlanta winning, or the game being decided on a last second Field Goal... Which is why Green Bay +4 is so enticing from a gambling stand point.

Both defenses are bad (GB mainly due to 3 of 4 starting DB's on IR), and both offenses/QB's are clicking . Should be a shootout of epic proportions.
Watch it be 3-0.
If you needed any further evidence of how important the QB position is in today's NFL, this final 4 should solidify things.

I don't know how Green Bay of all teams stops that Atlanta offense when no one has all year, whereas I've seen the Packers' relatively one dimensional approach be slowed on a number of occasions this season and Atlanta's defense has improved enough to challenge them. I think they get the necessary stop or two that Dallas couldn't and edges out a win in a shootout. The Packers just aren't healthy enough to be the favorites here. 35-30 Atlanta sounds about right.
Meanwhile, the Steelers have their work cut out for them. I think their best chance to beat the Pats was this weekend, that game was really sloppy and the Texans couldn't capitalize because Osweiler is terrible. They should come out much sharper in the championship round and beat a Steelers team that was inconsistent throughout the year but has solidified into a very talented group with a great defense and myriad offensive weapons. Any other situation and they win but this one is brutal. 24-20 Pats.
