it's nice to get one of these cards again. Goofball Cole Miller had to screw around against Manny, but outside of that things have been good. And things seem to be good for the books too, a lot of these lines have moved against the picks i posted. i think only McDonald moved with us.
definitely a tough one to judge. Neither guy really did much to convince the judges either way. Makes up for the robbery of Machida-DavisThat could have gone either way. You have to wonder how that end fight move influenced the judges
I could take a crack at it, but it would mean my first FBG vacation.Words cannot accurately describe how bad Sanchez is.
i haven't seen him play too much but i remember when Carolina started Jimmy Clauson. Whew that was horrendous.Words cannot accurately describe how bad Sanchez is.
nice. and man was my over 1.5 rounds not a great callMatt Brown -135
Doesn't matter, mo. I said in the SP, I'd be fine coming out of this year with the 1.01 or 1.02 pick in the draft. It's not like we're going anywhere this season. That would guarantee getting either Teddy or Clowney. Either of whom look like franchise players. I wouldn't wanna be the GM who passes on Clowney, but we haven't had a good QB in over a decade, and it's the most important position in all of sports.i haven't seen him play too much but i remember when Carolina started Jimmy Clauson. Whew that was horrendous.Words cannot accurately describe how bad Sanchez is.
and you may need to be a little careful RN, i read the other day how the Raiders know they can't have any pays designed over 20 yards because Flynn can't throw a ball 25 yards. that can't be good
Not a lot of points scored by the broncos last week, sea D is good. Sea scored some points last week but vs the chargers..... I'm thinking under 42 GB.
Keep in mind that fivehead is playing the whole first half.Not a lot of points scored by the broncos last week, sea D is good. Sea scored some points last week but vs the chargers..... I'm thinking under 42 GB.
Reem's a big dummy. he killed Browne to start the fight, should have knocked him out. then he doesn't even bother to block anything from Browne.ok, on Overeem 2units. and a little cheese on sportsbook too (at -200).
lock in browne winner....NOW.
ETA-he gone.
I'm with ya. Shogun is going to hurt him.Raider Nation said:Am I the only one who wants to see Sonnen get slapped around? He's an arrogant **** head.
If you're betting Sonnen, take him by decision.So who is favored in this fight? Pick 'em, pretty much?
this isn't boxing good buddy. He has 2 fights against Anderson Silva, and 1 against jon Jones so we can throw those outSonnen is only 28-13? Is that supposed to be a good record?
Nice callRaider Nation said:Somebody's gotta win by 3! I took them because I like their depth better. Watch and relax.The Ref said:Raider Nation said:7-0 J-E-T-S... just like that.

Raider Nation said:Comments from a dude over at Covers who seems to be killing MMA:
Striker vs. Grappler anyone? Muay Thai vs American Wrestling, Brazlian Hero vs. "The American Gangster". Ok I'll stop now. Shogun is and always will be my all time favorite fighter, I have a lot of fighters that I like but Shogun will always hold a special place in my heart. I didn't get the pleasure to watch his Pride Fights live but the replays are basically what got me interested in MMA.I hate to be so simple but we all know Sonnen loses if it stays standing most of the fight and Shogun probably loses if he gets taken-down and can't get back up. I'd like to believe that Shogun has a better chance of holding his own in scrambing, clinching and off his back then Chael has standing with Shougn, it might be a small advantage but I believe it's there. It's a five round fight so I have to question Shogun's cardio as well as his Knees, although he seems to be past the knee problems as he has had no set backs after the last few fights.
Shogun has a few more outs in this fight, he can end the fight standing, win with his own take-downs (this is not very likely but Shogun has under-rated take-downs) or possibly submit Chael Sonnen. Chaels out in this fight is to Grind and Grind some more.
Chael's Striking is serviceable and his wrestling is obviously much better and based on Shogun's last few fights I'd also give the edge in Cardio to Sonnen but that's about all I'd give him.
In the end it comes down to whether or not Sonnen controls 3 of the 5 rounds to take a split or UD. If it was three round fight I'd probably be hesitating less and taking Sonnen to grind it out. The fanboy in me is going to pray and hope Shogun has his cardio up to par and I think everything else will fall into place.
Prediction - Shogun Rua via TKO ground and pound end of round 4.
