Buccaneers 10 @ Panthers 24
Jeremy: Yeah, like I have anything to say for this game. I'll use this space to rant about something that's bugged me for a while about the NFL. It happens from time to time but it happened again last week. I don't remember who it was. Either spiking the ball is a penalty or it isn't. You can't flag players depending on where the ball happens to bounce after the spike. Either the action itself is a penalty or not. Who the ball happens to carom off is irrelevant if spiking the ball wouldn't otherwise draw a flag. That is all.Matt: Steve Smith for MVP!!!!!
Jon: Carolina is a mainstay of national tv this year.
Sarah: Can anyone else believe it's almost Thanksgiving? Craziness. Start doing some tax planning. :)

| Here's a rule that should be changed: if a team has a field goal blocked, the offense cannot advance the ball. In the Louisville-Rutgers game last night, One of the teams had an extra point blocked, but an offensive player picked it up and ran it in for 2 points. Talk about punishing the defense for making a big play. |

I'm not sure I understand why "reminder" is in quotes. I think throwing penalty flags that ignited into flames in mid-air is something that should definitely be looked into. |

Because I would make it look like an autogenerated reminder, rather than a creepy guy he/she doesnt know begging them to come back. Actually, I've thought about making reminders. |

Bill Simmons - Packers ( 5.5) over VIKINGS My daughter is 18 months old and I haven't come close to dropping her yet, or even nearly dropping her, even though I've been holding her and tripped over phone cords and dog tails and everything else you can imagine. I mean, I would never drop her. The parental instinct gives you super-powers -- it's hard to explain unless you're a parent, but somebody could shoot my kid out of one of those T-shirt cannons that they use for NBA games and I would catch her 100 times out of 100 even if you had me hogtied and wearing high heels. Anyway, I was thinking about this because every time I watch a big Vikes game, Troy Williamson drops at least one huge pass. So why couldn't they hypnotize him to have the same instincts for a football that parents have for their children? Couldn't this work? I feel like this would definitely work. And honestly? I haven't been this excited about an idea since I was pushing for the networks to hire lip readers a few years ago. Have sports teams ever explored hypnosis before? I would also want the Celtics to hypnotize Tony Allen into realizing that he shouldn't dribble or shoot under any circumstances, not even in pregame warmups. |

| No one is going to read this, but that bad spot on the goal line with 6:50 left in the 1st qtr cost the Packers a touchdown. Packers should have challenged it, but they still kinda got screwed. |

I think Favre can still play. Ditsy cheerleader moment: Near the end of the game, the camera was on a cheerleader during a break in the play. I am positive that the words that came out of her mouth (it was audible, not me lip reading) were "Let's go Football!" I'm not making that up. It was pretty great. Anyway, Donald Driver is amazing. Ok, well, he's pretty good. He's on pace for 101 catches for the season. |

| I think everyone needs to stop copying everyone else's picks. Rams-Seahawks and Packers-Vikings were just about the only 2 games that were disagreed on. Fairly disturbing considering that this season hasn't been terribly predictable. |

This is actually turning out to be a pretty good season for Brett Favre. He's on pace for over 4000 yards on the season. He's currently on pace to come up 2 TD's short of Marino's record, but it is not out of the question for him to throw 12 more for the tie. Some other interesting notes: Aaron Kampman leads the entire NFL with 9.5 sacks. I don't even know who this guy is (ok, I do, but he is still a relatively unknown.) Apparently no Packer has ever lead the league in sacks. I heard that on TV. I would have figured that Reggie White did it one year, but I apparently not. Donald Driver is one pace for 100 catches. |

| Sacks have only been an official stat since 1982. White led the NFC in 98 with 16 (AFC leader Michael Sinclair had 16.5) and White tied for the NFC lead in 93 with Renaldo Turnbull at 13 (AFC leader Neil Smith had 15). Which is somewhat of an anamoly considering that the AFC leader versus NFC leader standings are 10 to 14. |

It sure is. What I found most annoying is that so many jobs list on monster.com, where you list all your info. However they make you fill out their own application repeating info you told monster and that is on your resume. Then the last step is always giving them your resume. I know they want to make you work for it a bit, but it's annoying. You're an MIS major, right? |

Maybe we all got debated out last week. Maybe we all just grew up. Maybe we didn't really care about the "who's going to suck slightly less" battle. I'll say this though; I'm disappointed in the amount of smack talk this year. We call this a rivalry? Oh, and the Packers still suck. |

Rivalries require key characters to keep them going. Favre-Sapp, Favre-Urlacher, Favre-and pretty much anyone. I think that area is lacking a bit right now in this rivalry. It's "Favre and the kids" against "Brad Johnson and the misfits". It's just not too exciting. The ex-Packer Vikings is the only real story line, and it's clear that not even all of them ellicit negative feelings (Favre and Longwell were all chummy after the game). The one thing I will say is this: eat it Sharper!!! You got taken to school on the express lane. Oh, and the Packers now officially dominate the dome. From those at the game could we get an estimate on the fan percentage in attendance? Seemed like the Packers fans were almost as loud on tv. |

There are always quite a few Packer fans there. Season ticket holders can sell that one game and go to the other 9 for free, so many do. I would guess it was a 10-15% Packer fan crowd. You'd actually be surprised how few fans it takes for the crowd be be heard on the TV and how little of a difference everyone vs that small group makes in terms of hearing it get louder. Also, we both may be 4-5 but if the season ended now two 5-4 teams would be the wildcards. |

| Also, the Dome is rediculously loud for football games. Unpleasently loud actually, even when the Packers scored (probably 40-60 split between Packers and Vikings fans, maybe closer to 50-50). I went to Packers-vikings game there in 2002. Wasn't a huge fan. I'm sure most dome's are pretty similar for football. That's because it was meant to play outdoors. So I am talking trash about the stadium. And your current quarterback is not performing well. Also, your receivers could be playing better. |

Packers 23 @ Vikings 17
Jeremy: The Vikings are 5.5 point favorites in this game. Someone should inform the odd makers that 6 points would be a high scoring affair for the Vikings. I doubt it will 6-0 either. I couldn't make myself pick them, but I think the Packers will win this game. I really don't even think it will be close. The Vikings only hope is a complete dome meltdown by Favre, which is still a possibility. The Vikings offense stinks out loud.Every once in a while the Vikings just explode on the Packers, maybe that will happen again. In the meantime I'll be mentally prepping myself for an implosion.
Matt: Both these teams suck.
Jon: The thing about sports is that this is probably at best a fight for second place in the division and maybe a wild card. Neither team is playing any good football this year except for a moment one time or another. But because of the personal importance to various people, this will be treated as huge and the game could go down as a "classic" if it's exciting despite the terribleness of it all.
Sarah: Whichever team decides to suck the least on Sunday will win. Should be interesting, and as always, the entire Page 3 staff will be there live to give you the latest updates and fashion faux pas. The Packers minus Favre will have to make sure Favre doesn't throw away the game.
