The Thursday night game in Week 2 was of interest to Bears fans.

Some big spreads this week.

 

The Packers are 16.5 point favorites over the Jags.

 

Bears are 9.5 point favorites over Carolina.

[Banedon]

Greg Jennings might need surgery.

I guess "Optimus Prime" is what every cornerback is gonna call themselves during Lions week?

Sadly, losing WRs doesn't seem to slow down the Packers passing attack.

The (naughty word-filled) jamboroo touches on the awfulness of Pats fans.

 

And yet, I feel as if the subject remains inexhaustible, like Robert Caro exploring the life of Lyndon Johnson. There's just so much ground to cover here, and every year, Pats fans manage to outdouche themselves

It did for a little while, but they seem to have adjusted now, to the loss of Jennings. The Packers are pretty good at this stuff, unfortunately.

The Bears line seems a bit high, but I'm sure there is a lot of betting going in their direction right now.

Lol at the Vikings. You have Adrian Peterson, yet you let Christian Ponder throw the ball a ton.

Everyone's been waiting in line to kiss Ponder's ass and he's got like 60 yards passing in the last 5 quarters.

[Smack]

What an adjustment by Harvin. I didn't think he had a chance at that.

[Soul]

I think that's going to be it for the Vikes tonight

[Smack]

Doug Martin is destroying them.

[Smack]

That was one hell of a block by Simpson.

[Soul]

Schiano's like, dude. can you catch the football or not?

[Smack]

Jared Allen is on some sort of weird redneck tilt. Does he realize his defense has given up 30 points?

[illiniguy]

15 carries for Peterson, 35 attempts for Ponder. The Vikings are awesome.

[ctcf]

Thank you, Bucs and Viking coaches.

about time the vikings got exposed a little, i remain entirely unimpressed with that team

They likely will only win 2-3 more games at most the rest of the year. Their remaining schedule is

To their credit, didn't Peterson have a ton of carries 4 days ago? I'm thinking heavy workload plus short rest plus 10 months after tearing his ACL had something to do with it. That and the fact that the Vikings were trailing all game.

Chicago and Green Bay 4 times in the last 6 games? Jesus

[Banedon]

The division games being crammed into the end of the schedule is going to be quite interesting for all teams.

This, plus he had 2 fumbles. I know he's still AP, but they gave some carries to Gerhart in the first half after the 2nd fumble.
