    NFL players on average have a short career 3-5 year cycle the league wants parity.

    Just like odds in las Vegas for wagering the odds are stacked to influence wagering on one side or the other to cover and the juice is what makes the house rich. You would be a fool to trust sports wagering at this point.

    Gee, just another distraction, not that he is a bad player, just he won't change a broken team. Next prediction, Steelers being investigated for tampering concerns..... not sure if they can talk to him ahead of his release or not.

    I will say one thing, Tomlin must be one hell of a human being on a personal level. People want to play for him, maybe not give everything in their play for him, but he is a magnet for the players. If he amd the Steelers do separate, he would make one hell if a college HC with recruiting. Not that he would want to leave pro ball. Justin Fields asked the Bears to send him to Pittsburgh, even though they already had Wilson, other players have stated they would like to play for him etc.

    Have to admit, the NFL schedule is pretty good this week. While it is December and all games matter, the primetime schedule and both timeslots on Sunday have meaningful games for both teams playing. Usually end up with one or two that's pretty meaningless for one of the teams. Not really the case this week.

    I'm all out of team spirit for the year, just want to see some good games with both teams needing the win.

    I am excited about the game today. I believe it will be the beginning of a late season slide for the Bears their schedule is a little tough rest of the season.

    I'm sorry, but Philip Rivers is going to get clobbered if they let him play. It's one thing to be young and make a comeback, even if short lived, but they are reading the fairy tales ending before actually conaidering the story line. Would have a better chance trying to get Brady to play for them than making this successful, or trade for Shedeur Sanders

    I actually look forward to it, Seahawks D will tear him up.
