spread went up..lions down to 3rd string qb

 

[hurricane]

actually upto -6 pts now.. 4.5 is a bargain

Those 3rd stringers can change a game though. Sometimes they will come out and play like their lives depend on it.

IIRC Lynn DIcky was a 3rd stringer as was Ken Stabler. Strange that they both played for the Oilers (Dickey after the Packers).

Quoting from Don Banks at si.com

"Detroit lost by five points at Chicago on the Calvin Johnson non-catch call, fell by three points to the Eagles, by two points at the Packers, and by three points in overtime at home against the Jets. That's four losses by a combined 13 points to four likely playoff teams. And that's not even counting a two-point defeat at Buffalo.

For a team that's a whopping seven games under .500, the Lions can still salvage some respect and have a sizable say in how things turn out in the NFC North over the course of the next five weeks. Mainly because they still have to play all three of their division rivals at Ford Field: This week against first-place Chicago (8-3), next week against Green Bay (7-4), and in Week 17 against Minnesota (4-7) and a Vikings team that looks good so far playing under interim head coach Leslie Frazier."

Sort of has me re-thinking my bet on the Bears.
