Longview Daily News from Longview, Washington • 26

D4 The Daily News, Longview, Saturday, Novembei 7, 1992 Bills get the nod over Steelers Family Circus Davc Goldberg H' The Associated Press in Osi" by CowtM Synd "Mommy! They gave you a lot of free tissues with your new handbag!" How cow documentaries are made Buffalo fans are down on their team because it's not winning by enough. Marv Levy is down on the fans. "Some of them impress me as if they might have been ready to surrender the day after Pearl Harbor," he says. "But we're not. All of this is relevant for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who come to town with surprise the same record as the Bills, 6-2.

They're rewarded for this by being 6V4-point underdogs to Buffalo. But look at it this way. If the Bills start slowly Sunday, some of those Pearl Harbor guys are likely to start their routine. So there goes the home field advantage. Two theories on this game.

1, After underachieving and still winning against the Jets and Patriots, the Bills will be up to show the upstarts that they're still the AFC's best. 2, Bill Cowher's Steelers will look at this game as the one that proves their legitimacy and play that way. A little of both. BILLS, 20-17. Raiders (plus 6tt) at Philadelphia Does the soap opera continue? This might be the best thing that can happen to the Eagles.

When the silver and black arrive, the silver and green may forget that they're angry at each other and get angry at their opponents. On the other hand, maybe the battered Eagles aren't very good. EAGLES, 13-10 Miami (minus 6V4) at Indianapolis So how far does Steve Emtman run this time? Revenge, revenge, revenge. DOLPHINS, 24-14 Minnesota (minus 6) at Tampa Bay Dennis Green is half-season coach of the year. Sam Wyche tried for a while But he isn't.

VIKINGS, 24-6 San Diego (plus 6V4) at Kansas City The Chargers aren't good enough to win five in a row. The Chiefs aren't bad enough to be 4-5. CHIEFS, 13-3 Dallas (minus 6V4) at Detroit What a difference 10 months make last January, the Lions beat the Cowboys 38-6 in the playoffs. It might as well have been 10 years. COWBOYS.

38-6 Calvin and Hobbes I'lA I'M PID I SET A LETTER. TODM OK. TUE FIRST NUMBER. IS OU Bot HOBBES, THIS THIS IS THE CODED 3. SO THAT WCULD NEXT l.

SOTHATS "A MES5ASE. San Francisco (minus 7) at Atlanta (Monday night) Three weeks ago, the 49ers sent Jerry Glanville back to Atlanta with his "California Trophy" dragging behind him. That one was 56-17. This one? 49ERS, 38-17 New Orleans (minus 8tt) at New England The Patriots always try. The Saints (almost always) win.

SAINTS, 20-10 Green Bay (plus 9) at Giants It's unlikely Ray Handley can get his guys up for this one after what they did in Washington. Besides (see Buffalo), the Giants have their own Pearl Harbor fans. GIANTS 27-23. New York Jets (plus 6) at Denver Do the Jets have a third straight good effort in them? Yes. until Elway gets the ball with 1:30 left.

BRONCOS, 23-20 Cleveland (plus 11) at Houston The Browns don't like turf, as in their 30-10 loss in Cincinnati. Houston likes it fine. OILERS, 30-10 Washington (minus 12 V4) at Seattle This is a real stat the Washington offense hasn't scored a touchdown in nine quarters. The streak ends here. REDSKINS, 26-7 Cincinnati (plus 9V4) at Chicago One thing about the Bears.

They generally beat bad teams. BEARS, 24-14 Phoenix (plus 5) at Rams Do the Cards have three straight good games in them RAMS, 28-21 Last week: 6-6 (spread); 6-6 (straight up) Season: 54-55-2 (spread); 73-37 (straight up) THIS ran I TO VES. tTSOM LETS I TUE TABLEJ jnvil PEUPHER HEt' TUIS SCME PEOPLE HAME SECRET ADMIRERS.
