Winning ugly
Although not a familiar scenario, four field goals, one in each quarter, beats one touchdown, in the fourth quarter. And so the skinny cats of Jacksonville (that's in Florida, we think) ate the scrawny birds of Baltimore in tonight's pro pigskin action.
That underdog victory scores 8 points for each of five players in our charity prediction game, moving them all up in the standings. As we head into Week 8, here's where everybody finds themselves:

Tried watching the game, but even beer didn't help.
That looked more like Monday morning football...

That was a sad NFL game. Flacco looked like an undertaker at the autopsy of his own offense.
Meanwhile, on the other channel, you had the type of World Series game that seems to happen every year where baseball suddenly looks like a much better sport. The World Series was brilliant last night. The drama - the hero/villain dynamic, and the tension - made the NFL game seem as lame as professional wrestling....at least for one night.
When Beltre cranked the homer that tied the game in the 6th, as he fell to one knee, it was one of the coolest homerun reaction shots since Carlton Fisk.
