The Bears deemed Miller's emergency operation "successful." They called the procedure "vascular surgery to repair a torn popliteal artery." Per ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Miller underwent a post-surgery MRI to "evaluate blood flow and anatomy of injured leg." No one has said for sure yet that Miller is out of the woods with regards to keeping his leg, but it's beginning to trend that way.

I'm not going to argue like the Viking-Browns matchup is anything but garbage....but lets not act like all college matchups are good.
My argument is more like even the "great" college games are mistake ridden, crappy glorified high school offense type games.
Except for Alabama and a few others . Maybe.
Honestly this season is there a team who if they played tomorrow that Alabama isn't a 17 point favor against?
They're the Minutemen

So are most NFL games when it comes to turnovers and the shitty teams. Those SF, Cleveland and Indy teams are NFL-tastic!!
The best NFL game yesterday had like 4 or 5 turnovers and zero defense.
You prefer a slower, more predictable workmanlike form of entertainment.
I prefer the entertainment of the unpredictability, the importance of a single game on a schedule, and madness of a college football atmosphere.
To each their own.

Lose 4 games in the NFL - guaranteed playoffs
Lose 4 games in CFB - Guaranteed no playoffs?

I wasn't sure how that one was debatable.
I at least was worried he'd come back at me for the "madness" one

My guess is the undefeated teams that don't play for a title and thus considered that all 12 of their games are meaningless.

Some other dude is also 12-0...also has KC...he has 40 for the total.
If Denver wins, we actually split it. Go Denver????

So KC needs to win and the total needs to be at least 45, is that correct?

Also, if Denver wins, you and that dude are still tied at 12-1, so what does it matter who wins?
I'm more confused now

If DEN wins, I see 2 guys are 12-1 and 1 guy 11-2.
I think i'll just bow out on trying to understand. Go Chiefs, 49 points!!!!

Strange. I thought that Jimmy G would go for more as I thought they had some first round offers last year. I can't imagine Bears, Browns and some others didn't offer at least that last offseason
