Thoughts from Week 8
1. The Dolphins look like an entirely different team. They threw a beatdown on the Texans.
2. 49ers, just like, quit.
3. Dallas, you too. Years of not drafting a quality backup, is coming back to bite you. Especially with Romo's injury history.
4. Lions, I feel bad for Detroit.
5. Patriots probably won't lose for a while. I can see them being the last unbeaten team.
6. That Packers/Broncos game, best of the week.
7. The sad part about the AFC South, the Colts will get into the playoffs with a 7-9 record at this point.
8. Browns back to the same ol same ol. You get the Cardinals, that's sad for you.
9. Saints/Giants game could be the second best game of the week.
10. Shoutout to the Raiders. they look really good this season so far.
11. Seahawks should beat up the Cowboys this week.
12. Bengals, will we see them at 7-0? It will be a good tilt with Big Ben returning.
Top 5: Lombardi Division
1. Patriots - Still the toast.
2. Packers - They are near the top too.
3. Panthers - We should pay more attention to them.
4. Bengals - These guys, too.
5. Falcons - Sorry Broncos fans, not convinced until Peyton improves his play.
Bottom 5: Participation Trophy Division
32. Lions - Sorry, I thought you would climb up from here but nope.
31. 49ers - Ugh.
30. Browns - Double up.
29. Buccaneers - Ugh, Ugh
28. Ravens - Surprising to see them here.
Coaches on the hot seat
1. Bill O'Brien - I won't be surprised if he's fired soon.
2. Jim Caldwell - Lions are bad.
3. Mike Pettine - Look at the Browns.
4. John Harbaugh- Could be if they go 2-14.
Ingersoll Pick of the Week - Team guaranteed to get that W
New York Jets - A tough tilt with the Raiders, but with their defense, and their potential offensive capabilities, they will contain the Raiders potent duo of Carr/Cooper.
Bye Week Teams - Bills, Eagles, Redskins, Jaguars
Thursday October 29 8:25PM EST
(CBS/NFL) Dolphins (3-3) vs Patriots (6-0) - The Dolphins, since firing Joe Philbin, have been on a tear. Offense is insane. They are running up against a formidable Patriots defense. I don't see a shootout, but the Dolphins can sack Brady and penetrate that offensive line. Should be a Patriots win. Patriots 27, Dolphins 17
Sunday November 1st (DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME)
1PM EST
(FOX) Lions (1-6) vs Chiefs (2-5) - Lions, poor Lions. So bad all the time. Last year's playoff loss, and just haven't recovered. Chiefs surprisingly beat the Steelers last week. The lions have to play like they have everything to gain. Keep some jobs. Chiefs too. I can see the Lions getting that second elusive win. Lions 24, Chiefs 20
(FOX) Buccaneers (2-4) vs Falcons (6-1) - Falcons weren't as high powered last week. They did manage to win, but the offense was meh. Bucs had a chance for a third win, and literally blew it. Falcons need to win to keep pace with the Panthers. Should be a big day for them. Falcons 31, Bucs 13
(FOX) Cardinals (5-2) vs Browns (2-5) - Browns had a chance to beat the Rams but then remembered they are the Browns. The Cardinals nearly blew a lead against the Ravens, but they are a tough team. They can beat Cleveland, and it's just another piled up loss for the Browns. Cardinals 35, Browns 20
(FOX) 49ers (2-5) vs Rams (3-3) - I mean, the Rams have a pretty good defense. The 49ers have nothing. So I don't think this will be a close game at all. Rams 27, 49ers 6
(FOX) Giants (4-3) vs Saints (3-4) - This is a matchup that is good on paper. The Saints have rebounded from a terrible start. They have won a few in a row. The Giants, barely beat a Cowboys team they should have destroyed. I fully expect a high scoring match, that the Saints win by a field goal. Saints 30, Giants 27
(FOX) Vikings (4-2) vs Bears (2-4) - Bears are just not good. I am very surprised that the Vikings are 4-2. But here they are. The Vikings can get the running game going, and coast to a win. Jay Cutler is going to throw his usual 2-3 picks. Vikings 24, Bears 13
(CBS) Chargers (2-4) vs Ravens (1-6) - The Chargers are traveling across the country, and usually in these games, with this record, they usually shine. It will be a nice warm, scattered shower day in Baltimore. The Chargers could put the spike in the crap Ravens season. I think the Chargers will win a close game. Chargers 27, Ravens 23
(CBS) Bengals (6-0) vs Steelers (4-3) - the Bengals are good. Both at home and on the road. Big Ben returns and the offense is completely different when he is the QB. I think the Steelers win with the boost at QB. Steelers 17, Bengals 14
(CBS) Titans (1-5) vs Texans (2-5) - The Texans and Titans is a game you can skip. both teams are bad. Not sure if Mariotta is playing, and the Texans just have all sorts of issues on both sides of the ball. Texans are not nearly as bad and should have a productive day. Texans 24, Titans 10
4:05PM EST
(CBS) Jets (4-2) vs Raiders (3-3) - The Jets are pretty good and they went toe to toe with the Patriots. They can be a wild card contender. They just have to win games like this. Raiders, bravo team. you guys are turning it around after a mediocre dozen seasons. Jets will win, sorry guys. Jets 28, Raiders 17
(FOX) Seahawks (3-4) vs Cowboys (2-4) - the Cowboys don't have the QB firepower to contend. Sure they may be able to run the ball, and even sack Wilson, but they can't contend without a legit arm. Matt Casell? Brandon Weeded? no. Seahawks should get back to .500. Seahawks 31, Cowboys 13
8:30PM EST
(NBC) Packers (6-0) vs Broncos (6-0) - Best game of the week. The Broncos have a defense that is good. The Packers offense is equally good. Can we see Peyton return to form? Probably not. I think that it will be a low scoring, but exciting game. Packers 20, Broncos 16
Monday November 2nd
(ESPN) Colts (3-4) at Panthers (6-0) - The Colts are as bad as they seem and it's okay because they are in a terrible division and will still make the playoffs. They play from behind a lot and if they get behind on the Panthers, they will be looking at another loss. That will happen, unfortunately for them. Panthers 31, Colts 28
Happy Week 8!
