Football Preview

Base10 took the day off from blogging yesterday because, well, we're already in the midst of a great football weekend. Three games yesterday and many more today. Assuming three hours a game, we're talking about twenty-four hour of football this weekend. Hoorah!

Yesterday's games were really good. Giants fans are sad at a 33-30 loss to Pittsburgh, but are perhaps feeling better because of a god performance by Eli Manning. In the four o'clock game, Washington predictably dominated San Francisco 26-16. Base10 must say that Washington defense looked great, but I suppose many would against SF. A This game was followed by a terrific night game between Carolina and Atlanta. A see-saw matchup, the teams battled to a tie at the end of the fourth quarter. Atlanta intercepted a Jake Dellhomme pass in OT and got the go ahead field goal making it 33-31.

In NCAA footbal news, Linfield College won 28-21 beating Mary Hardin-Baylor in the Division III Championship. Base10 is not surprised, an entire college defeating one woman. How unfair!

Today offers some great matchups as well. Base10's beloved Jets play Seattle at 1PM. Click here for a preview. Later in the day, Jacksonville meets Green Bay at Lambeau Field. Click here for a preview. At first, snow was predicted for this game, but that doesn't seem to be the case now, but note that the game time temperature is predicted to be -2 degrees. Frozen tundra indeed. Of course, the game everyone is waiting for is the night game involving Indianapolis and Baltimore and Payton Manning's possible record breaking touchdown.

Enjoy.
