Football "experts"

Before today’s football game between the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins the
panel of 'experts' on CBS were saying how Miami would totally destroy New England and
hand the Patriots a humiliating defeat.

Final score:
New England Patriots 38 -- Miami Dolphins 7

only because they were handed a humiliating loss the week before and they know they are a better team than that.

Could they work their magic and adjust, as they have for so many years? - we have watched Belichick adjust - even with Brady out - or Gronk out - humiliating defeat last week - for sure...we are on edge..but, for anyone to say Miami would totally destroy NE - they don't know football....

This week 4, was tough picking SOME of the winners....look at the tie games today...I honestly feel it comes down to WHO wants it more..and of course decisions by coaches....

WHAAAAA - ATL - Philly dilly - Indy - heart attack games...what a day....6 for 9 thus far..

Indy never should have gone on 4th.....whaaaaaaaa

move them back...

Just like going on 4th, rather than a field goal, been there, done that...I always say - go with the points...Belichick.....
