A fairly decent slate of games today with the best part being that we end the day with a huge game in the NFC East between the Cowboys and Redskins. And, of course, Tony Romo is back in action. 

Early games to keep an eye on include Titans/Jags, Bears/Packers, Vikings/Bucs, Ravens/Giants. Also do not, I repeat, do not watch any games involving either the 49ers or Raiders.

And now on to my lock of the week. This is a game that I know for certain who will win, and so far, I've gotten it right every week. Although that's mainly because I picked whoever was playing the Bengals. This week, I'm taking the Carolina Panthers as my lock of the week not just because I think the Detroit Lions suck, but because I really want to see them go 0-16. And I'm pretty confident they can do that.

The entire day's schedule is listed below, with links to each of the individual game pages. Feel free to chat up the day's action either on those pages or right here.

We'll also have a live thread for tonight's Romotastic Sunday Night game.

Not necessarily blind faith, just loyalty in my mind.

Whats 20 FanIQ points for a Chiefs win? I don't put down real money for any Chiefs games this season, and you might guess why...but as far as points that really don't matter, I'll go Chiefs 16-0 and Twins 162-0 every year.

I understand where you are coming from, but I'm a realist with picks, even if it means picking the other team to win.  I root for those to be wrong though, I just pick what I think will happen without bias.

A great drive for Tyler yet again thats capped off with a Larry Johnson TD.

Thigpens #'s: 10/15, 126 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT

*play under review now..hopefully TD in the drive anyways*

Umm...CBS; you gave me the intro to the Pitt game, I was listening to Jim and Phil...and you switch it to Jacksonville?? According to my map, I'm supposed to have Pitt and San Diego...

EDIT:: nevermind, my map changed on me...they chose to switch it late..

Polamalu got his hand under that ball just before it hit the ground.

Lesson #1: If the FG attempt is more than 35 yards, don't try to kick it on a snowy field.

I'm thoroughly convinced if that was Ward or Holmes, we would've had the TD, but Washington couldn't get it across the plane.  Meanwhile, the incredibly lousy offensive line is at it again.

The refs are giving the Chargers so many gifts it's unbelievable.  He signaled for a fair catch, but started to take off as he got tackled!  You can't do that, that should be a penalty on the Chargers!  Anyone who knows anything about football can't honestly say that was right to call the penalty on the Steelers there!

I thought it looked like he wanted a fair catch, but when he saw he was about to get hit, he braced himself for the hit.

When you move at all after signaling a fair catch, you're fair game to be hit.

Right, but you can't hit him either.  Maybe it should have been offsetting, but the Pittsburgh guy wasn't in the right either.

You're wrong on that one.  The FG was the right call.  It was a chip shot that was an easy 3 for Reed.  If you go for the TD, there's no guarantee you get it, and you only have one attempt.  If you don't make it, you go into the locker room with nothing.  At least with the FG you were guaranteed to get points before the end of the half.

That 2nd down pass is a perfect example of why I hate Nate Washington.  He can't catch the ball that's thrown right at him.

I'm not sayin they should of went for it on 4th down, they should have scored before that.

They SHOULD have taken the FG early as well, it'd be 11-7.

Yeah, both starters didn't go past the 4th, and the relievers have been struggling as well.

Actually we don't know that.  If they had kicked the FG it would possibly be 9-7, because the miss on 4th and goal is what led to the safety.

Come the F*** on, Steelers!  Roethlisberger has had a solid game, and now it's defense that's fudging up!

They haven't won in Seattle in forever.  A win there would be huge for them.  It would pretty much clinch them their division.

Looked like the Titans would just be running the ball to let the time down, then a nice play action with Gage open in the endzone...TD Titans

24-14

Woohoo, Chargers and Steelers may be making history LOL.  There's never been an 11-10 final in NFL history.  As long as Pittsburgh doesn't give up a big return on the kickoff they should be good.

Where's Pat when Roethlisberger plays well?  I know the Steelers never got a TD, but he did everything right...31/41 for 308 yards and no picks.  Of course he'll never admit that Roethlisberger actually played a good game, that would go against his beliefs.

I didn't see it either, but they won, and I'd like to try to forget that game even though I'm never going to be able to.  The best stat though, 13-0 lifetime for the Steelers against the Chargers in the regular season when the game is played in Pittsburgh...although it still doesn't compensate for the 1994 AFC Championship.
