KC rattled off 12 straight home wins vs. NFC foes beginning with a 20-17 OT victory vs. the N.Y. Giants (9/10/95), a streak that was snapped with a 13-3 loss vs. the N.Y. Giants (9/23/01).

That was a decade ago.

still up in the air about tonights mnf football game. I dont want to let my hate for brett favre skew my decision.

As much as i hate Favre, I still think his team has more weapons than the Fudge-Packers. Given, the Packers D is LEGIT, i feel that old man Favre and A.P. will take the game over. If this game becomes a scorefest, which it may, look for the Vikes to give the ball to Favre to do with as he pleases, and A.P. will be forgotten about. But remember last year, A.P. ran wild for 192 Yds. and 2 touchdowns. My picks are as follows...

250 untis on the over @ 47 Pts.

100 units on the Packers to beat the spread @ 3.5

if you get offered Minn -3 or less, take Minnesota


Minnesota 27-Green Bay24

:Happy thirsty thursday everyone!
Are you ready for some football picks???!?!?!!

BIG GAME TONIGHT!
No. 22 Nebraska @ No.18 Missouri

this is gonna be a great game, guaranteed.
Both teams are off to a solid start of the season, and approaching the midway point...

I think Mizzou wins this one by atleast 7, mostly because 3 of Nebraskas DB's are injured/out...2 safeties and a cornerback. And we all know how Mizzou is a "pass first" type of team. Nebraska will score some points but will fall short in the early 4th quarter in this game. One thing that bothers me is how well they played defense against Va. Tech. They lost 16-15 to a top contender in the BCS running. My pick for this game is either Missouri beating the spread at 3.5(100 units), or Missouri moneyline(50 units), as well as the UNDER @50 Pts.(200 units)

gonna be a tricky offensive game...if I saw correctly earlier they are having some torrential rain....gonna be slippin and a slidin,rumblin and tumblin

[kingsnthahole]

well nebraska would have the advantage in the smashmouth run game aspect, however, their top RB is sick(thank swine flu)

god hiow much do i love it when college football games are on wed nights. Especially when it's two well known teams such as Boise State @ Tulsa!

tonights pick is neither team beat or coverign the spread because this is always a good matchup between these teams. My pick is the over @53. This pick should be a lock considering that last year there was over 85 points scored in this game. Boise state itself is averaging 40.2 PPG and Tulsa is averaging 32.8 . I can't wait to watch this game tonight, mainly because i only have to wait 2 days a week to watch football, college or pro!

What are everyones thoughts about the New York Giants versus the New Orleans Saints next week??? This seems like a hard pick for me, and I honestly dont believ there are any clear cut over/unders here, but I piced the giants because their defense seem a bit more stout and stronger IMO. God what a nightmare of a pick.
