Week Three Games

The DFC Week Three

College Games...
All ranks from new AP Poll; All times CST


Ole Miss Runnin' Rebels (1-0) at Vanderbilt Commodores (2-0), 11:30am
Holy schnikes! The Commies are 2-0 for the first time since 1999... doesn't matter if it was Arkansas and Wake, they are 2-0! If they can get by Ole Miss at home, there is a chance at winning 6 games this year... of course, the earth may crash into the sun after that, but it can happen...

Alabama Crimson Tide (2-0) at South Carolina Gamecocks (1-1), 2:30pm, CBS
The Rollin' Tide, complete with the impossible huggin' TD by Prothro, comes against The Ol' Ball Coach for the first time in quite a while. This should be quite a game, because the Gamecocks gave Georgia all they could handle this weekend, while the Tide is looking very much like a sleeper team in the SEC.

#24 Fresno State Bulldogs (1-0) at Oregon Ducks (2-0), 6pm, TBS
Ya gotta love the 'Dogs and we all love the Ducks... who's kool-aid you gonna drink for this weekend? And will Oregon overlook F'St because USC is circled on their schedule for next weekend?

#5 Tennessee Volunteers (1-0) at #6 Florida Gators (2-0), 7pm, CBS
The Vols and the Gators, head to head again. This is one of those fun games where half the league will pick one team, half the league will pick the other and in a season like this, every game counts. (also the tiebreak game)

NFL Games
All times CST


Buffalo Bills (1-0) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0), 12pm, CBS
The Bills ran rampant over the Houston Texans (who wouldn't?) and Chucky & the Bucs went into Minnesota and beat down the Vikes (!). Now the Bucs come home to Tampa, and try to defend themselves against Buffalo, sans Drew Bledsoe (which can only make them better).


Detroit Lions (1-0) at Chicago Bears (0-1), 12pm, Fox
Joey Harrington and the Lions for real, finally? Or did they just get lucky against a 57 year old Brett Favre and an aging Green Bay (they beat them Sunday 17-3). And here come the Bears, losers to the Skins 9-7 in an obvious offensive juggernaut... offensive being the word.

Atlanta Falcons (0-0) at Seattle Seahawks (0-1), 305pm, Fox
(The Falcons play their first game tomorrow night versus the Philly Eagles)
The Seahawks were pretty doggone good last year, but somehow, the analysts are putting them in the "overrated" catagory (they fell into that at last season's end, honestly). The big question is, is Vick and the Falcons ready to make The Leap, or will they remain "on the edge" of pretty good and really good?

St. Louis Rams (0-1) at Arizona Cardinals (0-1), 305pm, Fox
So the Rams weren't supposed to lose to the 49ers, but they did, 28-25. Arizona, the trendy pick for the playoffs and the division, were supposed to beat the NYGiants, but got totally dismantled, 42-19. Now the battle of the Was Supposed to Wins begins.

TieBreak Game
Tennessee/Florida--total combined points scored

Reminder... If your tiebreak was crap last week, you have until kickoff Saturday morning to drop it...
