Thrill of Victory

You know what makes the taste of a heart breaking loss magically go away?

A win.

Yes, Saturdays are long if you follow college football and your team lets (what should have been), an easy win slip through their grasps.

Thankfully people like me have the next day to hopefully mend those painful memories.

And what a day it was for the NFL teams out of Florida! I like to call it the Hat Trick or the Floridian Trifecta. Either way, the Miami Dolphins, the Tampa Bay buccaneers, and even the much maligned Jacksonville Jaguars all won this past Sunday.

Miami and Jacksonville were the early games. Miami beat the Cincinnati Bengals 22-14.

Jacksonville pretty much crushed any and all remaining hopes of the Dallas Cowboys year with a 35-17 blowout.

Tampa Bay, the self proclaimed best team in the NFC won a close game at the Arizona Cardinals home turf by the score of 38-35.

Like Raheem Morris said, "Stats are for losers, so you keep looking at stats and we'll keep looking at wins." Hey, however you get those Ws does not matter to me. just keep them coming!

Mia is 4-3, or rather they should be 5-2...but let's not get into that. They are an impressive 4-0 when playing in an away game. sadly, they have yet to win at home this year. the good news is that they play another game away from home, the bad news is that it is against the Baltimore ravens who are fresh off a bye. If these road warriors can manage to beat the Ravens, tickle me impressed.

Tampa is currently 5-2 and has a tough road test this week when they face the (5-2 as well) Atlanta Falcons. The winner of that game takes sole possession of the NFC South division. It will be a hard game for Tampa to win. Atlanta is the next team in line that most analysis think will blow the Bucs out of the water. The two other losses that Tampa has accumulated came from the Steelers and the Saints. Most consider the Falcons in the same tier of power as those two teams.

Jacksonville gets a bye this week. It host division rival Houston after its bye.

Oh and for the record I am hitting one thousand so far! 3-3. A perfect score. the last three weeks I have been spot on on how the Bucs will fare in each of their weeks match ups. I think I predicted a loss this week, but I said we could split the series so it is a toss up.

Keep up the good work guys!
