10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (10/25-10/27)

10. Western Connecticut’s Octavias McKoy Breaks NCAA Rushing Record
            For those not in the know, 455 is a lot of fucking yards.

9. Jeff Gordon Ends 32-Race Winless Streak

            On a day that most folks thought Jimmie Johnson would put a death-grip on The Chase, Jeff Gordon put himself in position to make a miracle run at the title.

8. Saints Pound Bills

7. Chiefs Gut Out a Win Over Cleveland
6. Cincinnati Demoralizes the Jets
5. Denver Drops 38 Unanswered Points Against Washington
4. Aaron Rodgers Eviscerates the Vikings
            Normally I don’t lump five mostly forgettable football games together in the same paragraph (even when I’m feeling super lazy), but here’s the reason these five contests make the cut.

Bills(Buffalo) 17 Saints(NewOrleans) 35 10/27/13(13:05 ET) Saints(NewOrleans) -4.5 (-110)

Browns(Cleveland) 17 Chiefs(KansasCity) 23 10/27/13(13:05 ET) Chiefs(KansasCity) -0.5 (-115)

Jets(NewYork) 9 Bengals(Cincinnati) 49 10/27/13(16:10 ET) Bengals(Cincinnati) +1 (-110)

Packers(GreenBay) 41 Vikings(Minnesota) 24 10/27/13(20:35 ET) Packers(GreenBay) -2.5 (-110)

Redskins(Washington) 21 Broncos(Denver) 45 10/27/13(16:30 ET) Broncos(Denver) -6 (even)

 

            That my friends, is an epic five team, seven-point teaser created by yours truly. So rarely has a NFL wager gone right for No Credentials, we feel the need to celebrate it.

(EDITORS NOTE: I participated in a 20-round, ten-team fantasy basketball draft last night, and need to finish up our NBA preview, so No Credentials was in fact feeling pretty lazy tonight)

3. Calvin Johnson Goes Bonkers Against Dallas

            Megatron came up seven yards short of Flipper Anderson’s all-time single game receiving yardage record as my Dallas Cowboys choked away yet another victory. Not a bad week to own Calvin in a PPR league. Also big props to Matthew Stafford, who's ballsy quarterback sneak when everyone (including his own team) thought he was going to spike the ball was Marion-esque.

2. Obstruction Call Gives Game 3 to St. Louis

1. Final Out is a Pick-Off as Red Sox Even Series
            I would’ve been willing to bet that the Red Sox were done after the most notorious obstruction since Ray Lewis, but Johnny Gomes and Johnny Gomes’ beard changed the tide with one momentous swing.
