Well I am game for today with work tomorrow.

Hmm, we have a little bit of snow forecast over the weekend here in Philadelphia, and there is snow forecast for Chicago.

Maybe, uh, we could use some weekend football snow around here?

Adam Schefter is reporting there’s a real possibility that Darnold doesn’t play, says he hasn’t thrown a football since injuring his oblique on Thursday, could get interesting, might need the Seahawks D to win the game. If Sam can’t go its up to Drew Lock.

Ah well, it’s time to spill some beans given the news, for the word is well out there.

As SOON as I heard that news, I knew my pick. Of course there are no ā€œlocks.ā€

Time and time again, as often downplayed by teams or media, a quarterback with any given lower body injury, even a severely injured toe that is bandaged up, will NOT play well enough with respect to his routine performance, including all the more in colder weather.

When you examine basic throwing mechanics, the footwork is the foundation of passing success at even the top high school level, even when the focus is overdone by the NFL media on those flashy arm throws by Mahomes, which is EXCEPTIONAL talent and not the root of fundamentally solid quarterback play in the NFL or in other leagues of pro football.

I think that the way to go with this game is to bet the under . As of this post it is set at 44.5 .

Also think that SF currently sitting at +7.5 is the wise bet as well . I can honestly see this game winding up at something like a 16-13 final .

This week Purdy is not facing the Eagles… Seahawks have a better D. And Purdy does not have Kittle to dump it off to.

ā€œLocksā€ or ā€œNoā€ Locks - believe Purdy will be wishing it was still the Eagles he was facing.

We shall see.

In relation to your comment Tony Soprano I would agree, though we disagree on the pick, that it’s up to the ā€˜49ers offense to light things up or not so as to win this one, or otherwise it will perhaps be, as cited by @bobo82 , another dreary low-scoring field goal competition via great mutual defense.

I do NOT see Seattle’s offense lighting things up, and that was even with Darnold.

I don’t see ā€˜49ers defence or special teams breaking down, but hey, if that happens all bets are off.

Oh wow. It’s a perfect day for football in Denver.

36F / 2C with only 15% humidity and barely any wind!

This means the kicking game at that altitude will be very strong as well.

Let’s go Bills! :bills:

Denver D looked brutal

That was an o.k. punt. Low scoring affair so far!

I’m going to have to ask you more another time, but I hear you have been practicing your extra points and punts and send out video to the teams.

Let Josh Allen have any more plays like these long runs, and the Broncos have zero chance.

It’s about time the Broncos got to Allen to sack his galloping ass.

But wow, I don’t remember this defense of the Broncos being this atrocious all season, save for the great effort by Singleton on that last Buffalo drive to for force that fumble.

Here after all that, they still allowed another first down by the Bills.

Wow now I remember him. Kicker Matt Prater was cut by the Falcons 2007 in his rookie season and then was picked up by Denver on to star through 2013.

He’ll be 42 years old in August.

Between injuries, penalties, and some fine performances, the beef of each offensive line are certainly featuring more today.

Put those ten mugs up on the screen for us in the second half so we can see all those mean faces, CBS.

Right there we would have the new cast for the next series of regional fake monster shows.
