Bring home the bacon Ken Dorsey. Don't worry about yet another meaningless Browns game in December and squandering precious spots in the draft.

Will the SF @ Denver game go on? Looks like Denver is shutting down due to the storm coming. Will SF make it out there or will they move both teams to a different location? What happens if the blizzard keeps SF out of Denver?
And you're wrong about Steelers/Bengals. The Steelers will be a spoiler for the Bengals - especially after the black-eye given by the Ravens.
