They opened 1.5 then went up to 2.5 and now back down. This game is basically pick ‘em. Wouldn’t put any money on it but I lean Chiefs. The better QB usually finds a way.

I wanted to post at half time but...... Confidence was lacking in my team given King Henry. I'm ashamed of myself. :crackup:

 

Ravens get the O line gelled and it's a much different game. This is a really-REALLY good team. 😱

 

Chiefs played this game like a Super Bowl. You go Andy!! I likey the new weapon.

One they failed. It's going to be a bad day to be a Panthers fan this weekend. 

 

Picks: 

 

Steelers, Commanders, Texans, Bears upset the Vikings. On the Pat's/Dull fins game, yea, does it matter. :crackup:

Bucks, Lions naturally, Broncos, 49er's over the Pack, a second upset pick, Seahawks, I'm taking the Rams and the Chargers as well. 

 

The Brothers Bowl should be entertaining though.

15 and 1 and I'm uneasy. Too many silly penalties. Time to get healthy and focused. 

 

PS. Can we get a Texans win please?

Would it be to much to hope that the Rams win their next two? 😉

I’m not much of a fan anymore. My brother in law wanted to watch so what the heck. It didn’t take long for me to remember what soured me on the game. It seemed that sometimes a team has to play the players as well as the officials. I believe the right team won and they didn’t need any help. Of course a fan would be blinded by bias. It was pretty blatant especially when a non call for the same foul was missed on the other side. Maybe there was something in his eye.

Oh, I hate games decided by Zebra's making horrid calls. They make allot of bad calls that don't end up changing the outcome too, but still.... Commentators can be infuriating. Especially those that second guess the replay booth. The rule is the rule. 

 

Anyway, didn't get my wish with the Rams and KC has a tough couple of weeks. Might even end next week. Early odds are KC by about 1.5.

 

Personally, I see the Commanders beating up on the Eagles. The HOGS are scarry dudes. Underdogs but scarry. 

 

Good games this weekend. Might have seen the seasons best ball already. 😉

The lions hacked up a hairball !

 

Allot of injuries on that team. Borrowed time the last month, don't you think? KC or Bill verses the a healthy Lions squad would be a fun game.

    • The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge
    • Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).
    • The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.                 
    • It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.  
    • They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years
