Not looking too good for your wager on the “Oliers”; … as you probably know, the “Colts” responded with a TD at 5:03 (1-yd. pass, Flacco to Kris Wilson. After allowing a long return on opening KO, and then getting stopped, Baltimore forced a fumble on the ensuing punt and got another possession starting on the Houston 2-yd.-line.) Went to 7-3 after kicked EP.

A liitle later, Baltimore added a FG. 10-3. I’m not a bettor, so I don’t know the spread, but we could be headed for some big number to 3 by the end … the Baltimore “D” is tough.

isn't baltimore the "browns"? i can't believe houston blew a nice chance for a touchdown here. don't they know they'll never catch up to b'more if they keep allowing td's and they themselves settle for fg's?

Jan-15-12  AuN1: <tamar: It's all over except the tweeting.>

he still hasn't made his traditional: "i can't believe i gave that game away!" twitter comment yet? he's slacking.

Jan-15-12  dumbgai: Aronian is a tactical monster.

  Garech: This should get GOTD tomorrow, for sure. I have submitted a pun; slightly esoteric, but will be amusing to those in the know - and it's appropriate, too.
