NFL WEEK THREE

Good morning from the Big Apple, where fall is in the air. 
We have our second week pass up for grabs in the survivor pool. To win a valuable week off, first pick the winner against the spread in BOTH games: Jets +22 at Cheaters AND Fins +22 at Cowpokes.  Our pick? Cheaters and Fins. The new Miami QB may, just may, keep the Fins closer than 20. 34-20 sounds about right. 

If you pick both games, then get ready for the Monday night matchup. Bears. Redskins. Want that weekly pass? It's oh so simple. Get within 99 yards of the total pass yardage for the game. That means whatever the QBs throw, whatever the RBs throw on a trick play. When the ball is tossed in the air and caught the meter is running.  If it matters, the  top 4 closest to the total yardage get the pass. If someone comes within five yards if total passes, then they get a bonus- take a team off the bench they have already used with the ability to use them again. 

Here are the rest of our picks this week. Chiefs -6.5 against the Ravens. Baltimore just not as good as the Hype, while Mahomes is . 

Hard to pick against a home dog, but that just what we are doing when we take the Rams -3 in the dog-pound of Cleveland. Once again, the hype doesn't meet reality in the mistake by the lake. 

Have some coffee and pick the Seahawks -4 against the visiting Drew Breesless Saints

Raiders at Vikes. Yikes! Lots of scoring. Over 43. 

SURVIVOR 
Not surprisingly almost all the picks are the Cowboys. One for the Seahawks and one for the Pack and we are waiting for a few stragglers who always wait until the last moment.




What's on Tap for Rumpole in NYC? Well, after a stroll in Central Park and some time at Equinox, we might take in To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway. Macbeth at the MET this week is a must, as is dinner at Reverence in Harlem. But don't try joining your favourite blogger. The joint is small. Reservations as rare as judge picking up the tab.  And the food is offbeat-cool. It's not for the pedestrian "I'll have fries with that" taste of most of our readers.

  4. Give us some more winners Rump. Great call in the Rams over the Brownies minus three. You were 2-2 for the week and 8-9 for the season but you always end up making us money.

    Who would have thought that the big game next week would be the 3-0 Bills hosting the 3-0 Patriots.

  5. "When the ball is tossed in the air and caught the meter is running." Sorry, you cannot include the dreaded backwards pass or lateral which does not count in passing yards.

    "RULE 8. FORWARD PASS, BACKWARD PASS, FUMBLE
    SECTION 1 - FORWARD PASS
    ARTICLE 1. DEFINITION
    It is a forward pass if:

    the ball initially moves forward (to a point nearer the opponent’s goal line) after leaving the passer’s hand(s)the ball first strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else at a point that is nearer the opponent’s goal line than the point at which the ball leaves the passer’s hand(s).
    Note: A ball that is intentionally fumbled and goes forward is a forward pass. A ball that is intentionally muffed, and goes forward or backward, is a batted ball (12-5-1-Note).

    Just sayin'
