NFL Week 4

As McNabb continues to tumble, I thought I'd throw Tony a bone. So I offered him his choice of two bets this week:

• Option 1: Andy Dalton (CIN) vs. Buffalo would have a better QB rating for the game than McNabb (MIN) vs. Kansas City. Andy currently has a higher QB ranking than McNabb, but in this game he's going up against Buffalo--yeah--the team that recently knocked off the Patriots. I take Andy, Tony takes McNabb.
• Option 2: Appreciating that Option 1 pitted a currently-higher-ranked QB against McNabb, I offered the option of betting that Josh Freeman (TB) vs. Indianapolis. Josh is currently ranked lower than McNabb. I take Josh, Tony takes McNabb.

So which option did Tony take? Neither. Hm. Perhaps the previous and outrageous assertions regarding McNabb's comeback are losing their glow, even for the candle-bearer himself. Tony provided a counter-offer which was this: Which running back will have more yards from scrimmage in the upcoming head-to-head match between the Eagles and the 49ers: Frank Gore (TAG) or LeSean McCoy (JTI)?  I know that the odds are in Frank's favor, but there's enough of a legit chance here that I took the bet. Yeah. LeSean's gonna have more yards than Frank. Here's hoping that the Birds can trip up Gore. We've done it before.
