Six interesting NFL spreads for this week:

? Falcons @ Cowboys (-9.5)
? Bills (-13) @ Jets
? Saints @ Titans (-3)
? Jaguars @ Colts (-10.5)

Tuesday?s quiz
Who played QB for the Chicago Bears, last time they played in a Super Bowl?

Monday?s quiz
Boomer Esiason holds the Cincinnati Bengals? single-game record for passing yards.

Sunday?s quiz
Of the 32 starting QB?s in the NFL, six played college ball in the SEC.

******************************

Tuesday?s Den: Nobody asked me, but??..

13) I don?t understand why people run marathons; running 26 miles seems excessive.

During the battle of Marathon in 490 BC, Philippides, a Greek messenger, witnessed a Persian vessel changing its course towards Athens as the Battle of Marathon was nearing a victorious end for the Greek army.

He interpreted this as an attempt by the defeated Persians to rush into the Greek capital and claim a false victory in the battle, thus claiming their authority over Greek land.

It is said that Philippides ran the entire distance to Athens without stopping, discarding his weapons and even clothes to lose as much weight as possible, and burst into the assembly, exclaiming ?we have won!?

He ran 26 miles. And then he died.

Anyway, if I drive 26 miles, I?m looking for a McDonald?s for some food. Credit to people who are in good enough shape to run that much. Just isn?t my thing.

12) Summation of Cleveland Browns? last month:
? in weeks 7-9, Browns went 1-2, scoring 14-17-10 points. There was drama involved, as far as which receivers caught how many passes.
? last Friday, Cleveland released WR Odell Beckham.
? Sunday, Browns scored 41 points against a good Cincinnati team.

Go figure.

11) AFC West figures to have a fascinating finish; the current standings:
5-3? Chargers? gave up 32.3 ppg last four games
5-3? Raiders- signed DeSean Jackson
5-4? Chiefs? what?s up with their offense?
5-4? Broncos?gave up 17-10-16 points last three games.

10) Omitted this game from my Sunday writeup; it was a good one.
Tennessee 45, Kentucky 42:
? Vols had TD plays of 75-72 yards in first quarter.
? Tennessee defense scored on a pick-6 in 3rd quarter.
? Vols averaged 15.8 yards/pass attempt.

? Kentucky outgained Tennessee, 612-461
? Wildcats converted 12-17 on 3rd down, had 35 first downs.
? Kentucky WR Robinson caught 13 passes for 166 yards.
? There we no points scored in last 9:36 of this game.

9) Washington Huskies suspended head coach Jimmy Lake for a game, after he shoved a player during the game with Oregon Saturday. Wasn?t that big a deal, but Washington is 4-5? people there aren?t used to 4-5. If he was 8-1, he?d be praised as a disciplinarian.

8) Steelers 29, Bears 27:
? Steelers led 20-6 after three quarters.
? Boswell kicked 40-yard FG with 0:26 left for the win.
? Boswell also made FG?s of 54-52 yards.

? Bears? first five drives: 18 plays, 61 yards, no points.
? Bears? last six drives: 43 plays, 329 yards, 20 points.
? Chicago scored TD, running back fumbled punt for a score.

7) NFL underdogs went 10-4 ATS this week, 7-7 straight up. Weird week.

6) Active NFL players who appeared on Peyton/Eli Manning?s simulcast of the Monday night games? Their teams have gone 0-6 the following week. There was no ManningCast this week.

5) Arizona doesn?t turn its clocks back for Daylight Savings Time, like the rest of the country; good for them. Getting dark at 4:45 is too early.

4) 76ers? star Joel Embiid tested positive for COVID, is out for a few games.

3) College basketball starts up Tuesday night; will take couple weeks to unravel who is good and who might not be as good. Ton of transfers; some teams have almost totally new rosters.

Busy few weeks coming up; enjoy the games.

2) Some quick notes:
? South Carolina?s Keyshawn Bryant is suspended for the Gamecocks? first five games.
? Louisville coach Chris Mack is out for six games.
? Hubert Davis has replaced Roy Williams as coach at North Carolina.
? There are many teams with almost totally new rosters.

We?ll watch lot of games, study a lot and try to make sense of what is going on.

1) I miss the ESPN Basketball Marathon, where they showed games non-stop for 30 hours in a row, something like that. Remember sitting at a bar in Las Vegas playing video poker while some obscure game was on at 3am in Las Vegas. Good stuff; they should bring the marathon back.

1) All in all, an interesting day/night; 3pm games at Manhattan, Washington State got things underway. There is so much to sort out as teams start to play games with fans in stands, as we get a little closer to normal.

Did you know that neither Manhattan or Manhattanville are in Manhattan?

Eastern Michigan has 11 new players this year; they hung in pretty well at Indiana; who are the coaches who are best at putting together a roster quickly? Times have changed; not too many teams have a lot of continuity.

baseball agent Scott Boras

Wednesday?s quiz
Florida Gators won NCAA Tournament in 2006 and 2007, last time a college basketball team won consecutive national titles.

************************

Thursday?s Den: Doing some thinking out loud??.

13) Replay official for the Wake Forest-North Carolina game last week was a guy named Peter Vaas; he is also a football coach, working in the XFL as that league works towards a return to he field in 2023. Don?t see lot of coaches become officials.

Vaas was head coach at D-III Allegheny College from 1986-89, then at Holy Cross from 1992-95.

Since then, he was a coordinator in the CFL, a QB coach at Notre Dame/South Florida, and an offensive coordinator at Duke, Miami OH and in the WLAF.

Interesting resume; unusual for a coach to become an official.

12) Russell Wilson got the pin taken out of the injured finger on his passing hand, will start for the Seahawks when they visit Lambeau Field Sunday.

11) I?ll sound like the old guy preaching here, but that?s OK.

When Wilt Chamberlain was 35 years old, he played in every Lakers game that season, and he played 42.3 minutes/game that year.

Chamberlain shot 64.9% from the floor, grabbed 19.2 rebounds a game. No nights off for ?load management? and teams played lot more back/backs in those days.

First eight years Artis Gilmore played in the ABA/NBA, he didn?t miss a game; 35.1 minutes/game was the least he played during that time. Again, no load management, no nights off, and his teams didn?t fly around the country on their own airplane.

10) Saturday?s Cal-USC football game was moved from this week to December 4th; Cal program has COVID issues, so the game has been pushed back.

9) AFC went 7-1 against the NFC this past weekend, now leads season series 24-22 in games between the two conferences.

8) Texas Rangers named Tim Hyers their new hitting coach; he spent the last five years at the Red Sox? hitting coach. Hyers worked with Texas manager Chris Woodward, when both were coaching on the Dodgers? staff in 2016-17.

7) Texas Tech hired 51-year old Baylor assistant Joey McGuire as their new football coach; McGure was in his fifth year at Baylor. McGuire signed a six-year contract worth $20.2M. He was a highly successful high school coach in Texas.

6) Tuesday night in Montreal, LA Kings scored a goal 0:06 into the third period, the quickest the Kings have ever scored a goal at the start of a period.

5) Los Angeles Angels fired their first base coach, third base coach and catching coach; must be their fault that the Angels? pitching sucks.

4) JD Martinez declined to opt out of his Red Sox contract, will make $19.35M playing for Boston next season. Martinez hit .286 with 99 RBI this past season; he hit 42 doubles.

3) Dallas kicker Greg Zuerlein went on the COVID list Monday. Cowboys need a kicker.

2) Coppin State?s basketball team has a busy first week:
Tuesday? lost 103-45 at Loyola Chi
Wednesday? lost 97-72 at DePaul
Friday? at Rider
Saturday? at UConn

Guarantee games at DePaul/UConn help pay the bills.

1) Ivy League basketball teams didn?t play last season; Harvard basketball coach Tommy Amaker was put to work elsewhere? he was on a search committee that hired the next police chief for the Harvard campus police.
