After the incredible 37-34 Overtime win over the LA Rams on Monday Night Football, the Bills spent the week practicing at the campus of the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine). They will play the Raiders in Vegas in the 4:30 P.M. time slot. The Bills are favored by 6 points. Next week the Bills will be on their Bye.
How will your favorite NFL team do today?
The hapless 1-4 Saints journey to New York/New Jersey to take on the surprising 3-1-1 Giants. I don’t expect much from the Boys in Black & Gold: their play this year has been undisciplined and sloppy. The scuttlebutt down in the Big Easy is that Saints owner Gayle Benson is about to fire GM Mickey Lions and bring Saints icon Drew Breese on board. Can’t hurt.

Deb, several teams are on the cusp of insuring a Losing Season: Houston Texans, LA Chargers, etc.
I tried to post this an hour ago in City MD, but their so-called WiFi sucks. I couldn’t post or email.
First, Jackie finally got concerned enough that maybe her cold was turning into bronchitis that she agreed to go to the doctor. Thankfully her chest was clear, but tests showed it was the flu! WTF? This seemed awfully early and we hadn’t heard of anywhere local that had it. Obviously she got it from me, but where did I pick it up? We have done very little since her knee surgery. If I got sick on Sunday, how far in advance would I have been infected? We did eat out on Saturday and Friday and Thursday, plus I went to the grocery store several times.
I did have flu-like symptoms a couple of days – felt tired and weak with no energy- but nowhere near as severe as when Jackie last had it, which she compared to “death warmed over,” so I never thought flu.
Jeff, the WALL STREET JOURNAL had an article about a month ago that flu season was going to start early. So I got my flu shot the next week. A week after that, I got my Covid Booster shot.
To return to our story:
The Giants have worked themselves up all week:
The Saints are a miserable 1- 4
The Giants are an admittedly lucky 3 – 1 – 1
How are they 1 1/2 point underdogs at home?
Makes no sense.
They need to make hay now while the sun is shining (as it certainly is today, a perfect Fall football day, as the schedule isn’t getting easier. So even with Trump’s favorite QB out for the season, they need to win now.
Plus, they disgraced themselves in the Superdome last year.
Jeff, according to Vegas the Giants should be beating the Saints…but the game is tied at Halftime!
Since the move to LA, the chargers are dead to me. I’m more for the Rams and Chiefs. Loved Deb’s mention of Drew Brees, from both his time as a charger and saint.
Maggie, Drew Brees was a great QB and is still a great guy!
The lousy Seahawks lost on Thursday! I like the Bills and the Raiders, so I don’t have a dog in the hunt!
Bob, the Raiders gave the Bills all they could handle!
Tomorrow evening the Niners at home play the hapless Commanders. Should get them to 6-0. Meanwhile, Bills just made it 6 vs 7 against Vegas. Wake up guys and hammer the ex-Oaklands!
Not that hapless, Art! They beat the Seahawks!
Art, the Bills didn’t “hammer” the Raiders, but they did defeat them!
