Rams really suck--really, really suck. Well, there alway next year...can someone name last team losing every game because it's getting desperate in St. Louis. Go Tigers, we need some good football news, albeit college gridiron.

Final count for the week: Week Seven results: ATS: 10-4 SU: 12-2 Lock of the Week: 1-0 Trifecta: 0-1 The Money Game: +$840 For the season: SU: 68-35 ATS: 52-45-5 Lock of the Week: 2-5 Trifecta: 0-7 The Money Game: $-1,950 By far our best week. Adding in the $350 won at the casino on Sunday night, the wife and I can make our Yugo payments this month. As for your query, Brickman, it was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in what I believe was the exapnsion season of 1977. I'll look it ui

someone name last team losing every game As a Dolphins fan I think I can name the next one. And the Buccs did lose it all in 1976, when they went 0-14 in the AFC West.

Boy, I see some heading chopping at end of season, if current trend holds. We have two more games than 1976. Holy molly! We have to win a least one game.

Brickman, I have to disagree with you on the Mizzou front. (note my screen name) Wow, is that game at Arrowhead going to be a humdinger! As a mizzou fan, can you remember the last time Kansas went 7-0? Imagine if neither team has another loss before that game. The local news is reporting that it is sold out already. (end of awesomly juvenile homer rant. Sorry all. I have a lot to be excited about.)

Four wins for the Lions. It's getting close to making up for the Tigers failing to make the playoffs.

hawkguy-if NOW you want to be constructive in word or deed. Help me score some tickets.

Brickman - Let me do some investigation on that. Are you anywhere close to student age?

NO!!!!! I think I stated previously I'm a grandfather. I'd like to take my new son- in- law to the game-he's a big Tigers fan and currently in Florida with my daughter on their honeymoon. Let me know if anything can be worked out. You can email me directly. I'm posted in bio.

I hadn't seen the earlier posts about you being a grandfather. I'll look into it further.

The Bucs actually started their existence by going 0-26; 0-14 in 1976, then lost the first 12 of '77 before they beat the Saints. Hank Stram was coaching the Saints then, and he was fired after losing to the Bucs, who closed out '77 with one more victory, over the Cardinals. It was a heady time to live in St. Petersburg, I can tell you that, my friends.

The Rams couldn't lost 26 games in a row, could they? Never mind, don't answer that. I rather be surprised and disappointed when it happens.

I highly doubt either the Rams or the Dolphins will lose every single one of their games. Then again, I also predicted the Lions will lose more games than the Dolphins this year. That prediction isn't looking promising.

:crickets: So far this week, I'm 11-2 straight up, 9-4 ATS and hit the Lock, although again I blew the Trifecta by failing to pick my own upset specials. We'll see about tonight.
