I just finished Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback. Here is his MNF prediction:
Chicago 35, Arizona 13.
Not much drama. Not much reason to tune in past midway through the second quarter. By that time ESPN will have shown you the grand new stadium in Glendale (across the parking lot from where the Coyotes play), and you will have heard some of the Matt Leinart miking (now that's a great idea, wiring a quarterback about to be sacked nine times), and the Bears will be up 21-0. Around that time, weather permitting, the Mets and Cards will be 1-1 in the fourth and a better watch.
And here is part of the front page of his Tuesday column:
If you missed the game, or went to bed late in the third quarter with the Cardinals leading 23-3, you won't believe that the Bears, with Rex Grossman playing the worst game of his life, came back to win 24-23. But that's what happened.
Ouch.
I went to bed with 5:23 remaining and the Cards up 23-10. Double ouch.
there would have been a similar story on the MSU-Northwestern game -- if anyone had been watching it.
