Before I sack out for the night, guess which team is in first place in the NFC North! No, guess again! It's the CHICAGO BEARS!

Next week, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers come to Chicago! I'm hyped for that one!

This Bears team is going to kill me! Nothing fazes the though.

In my game write ups for today I wrote that putting a turnover prone offense in front of the Bears defense was like waving spinach in front of Popeye. Two INTs today works for me.

Won't be posting much during the Bears game today. Going to go to my stepdaughter and her husband's house to watch. Have fun! Go Bears!

Some great games coming up in Week 11 including the game I'm calling The Perfect Storm of this NFL season. Should be an interesting playoff picture when this week is over.

Washington's defense has been a sieve the previous four weeks but they came to play today. Great goal line stand.

Working on my NFL picks for Week 11 and have come to a couple of conclusions. One is, the Jacksonville Jaguars, or any other team, can win wit Trevor Lawrence at quarterback but no team will ever win because of him.

I'm not surprised at all that the Patriots beat the Jets last night. I am surprised that they were able to cover the -12.5 spread.

The "fun" part of being a fan of the Bears, Sid Luckman is tied for second, with Jay Cutler, with 28 touchdowns in a single season (in 1943).

Caleb Williams is currently on pace for 4,034 passing yards (most ever for a Bears QB) and 25 passing TDs, which would put him fifth on the franchise single-season list.

The New York Giants decided enough is enough. Brian Daboll has been fired as head coach. No interim coach named at the moment.

If the season ended today, the Bears would be the 7th seed in the NFC. I can't remember the last time I saw the Bears in a playoff spot at any time during the season.

Rank and file Dems have to rise up against Schumer's cave to the MAGAts. Only being promised a vote on ACA subsidies is nothing! Schumer is incapable of leading in today's political climate!
Jeffries vs Chuck Schumer CR infighting 👀
If even Jeffries is demanding that we hold the line for ACA & more, it shows how out of touch Schumer (primary 2028) & other Sen Dems are on this.
If establishment Senators fold, they are betraying the American people

Heading into the two prime time contests, so far with my picks I'm 10-3 SU, 7-4 ATS, and hit all 3 of my Best Bets. Not a bad day overall, a good day when you throw in the Bears comeback win. I'm not even upset that they didn't cover.

After the early games I'm 5-3 both SU and ATS plus hit the first of my 3 best bets. Looking forward to the 3 late games.
