As I alluded to below, I hate that Ferrari clinched the Constructors\u2019 Championship on a technicality (Mclaren being dismissed), but I love Raikkonen and Massa finishing one-two this morning at Spa.<\/p>\n<p>Switching to the Chase, I hope we will see another tweak in the format next year.  I hate that Gordon\u2019s points lead was dismissed at the start of the \u201cplayoffs,\u201d but I do like the idea of awarding bonus points for victories.  There should be some sort of \u201chome field\u201d advantage for winning the \u201cregular season\u201d \u2013 say a 20 or 30 point bonus, which would be equivalent to 2-3 wins.  I am going to go with Gordon or Stewart to win the Championship; too close to call \u2026 going to say Gordon.\u00a0 [edit:\u00a0 forgot that Gibbs is leaving GM, so that is really going to hinder Stewart\u2019s chances; Gordon is still the pick.]<\/p>\n<p>The Falcons will take another one on the chin today, this time at the hands of Jacksonville.  It will not be pretty; the Jaguar defense will stifle the ATL\u2019s rushing attack, and poor Joey will suffer sacks, hurries, and another couple of picks.  27-13 Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is always a good day when Ferrari finishes at the front of the pack.
