I was going to type a rant about how we overstate the importance of quarterbacks who aren’t very good (think Sam Bradford) while it can never be overstated for teams like Green Bay (Aaron Rodgers).
But I’m left football speechless after what happened in the Alabama-Auburn game, so save the rant for next time. That could not have happened to a greater human being than Nick Saban. What kind of jackass bypasses a 30-yard field goal that would have made it 31-21, but tries a 57-yard kick with one second left? Even with a different kicker that’s a bad decision. You have to try the Hail Mary instead.
I just hope we don’t see Ohio State in the NC game.
NFL Week 13 Predictions
Last season the home teams were 0-3 on Thanksgiving. This year they were 3-0 and I had them all.
- Jaguars at Browns
- Bears at Vikings
- Cardinals at Eagles
- Patriots at Texans
- Titans at Colts
- Buccaneers at Panthers
- Dolphins at Jets
- Falcons at Bills
- Rams at 49ers
- Broncos at Chiefs
- Bengals at Chargers
- Giants at Redskins
- Saints at Seahawks
I don’t have much confidence in any of these picks. Could be another wild week.
