NFL Week 8

Thoughts about week 7:

1. The Amari Cooper trade by the Cowboys is a good one, but does nothing to really address the problem...their defense. They have guys returning from suspension, but their defense needs some quality cornerbacks/safeties.

2. Honestly, if the Chiefs can tighten some things on defense, they are going to be hoisting the Lombardi trophy. That Mahomes kid is about as good as a second year QB and beyond can be. Chiefs  are gonna get tested with the Broncos defense, but they will prevail. 

3. Jaguars, what in the hell happened to you.

4. Quietly, the Lions have evened their record.

5. It's okay to tank, Cardinals.

6. The NFC East is controlled by the Redskins, and they could run away with a weak, weak division. There is a reason no team has one the NFC East two season in a row dating back to the early 2000's. Consistency. 

7. Raiders, see number 5. You have three first rounders next year.

8. The LeVeon Bell saga continues. 

9. Giants, see 5. You also, 49ers.

10. Quietly, the Rams are 7-0. And playing great. If it's a Rams/Chiefs Super Bowl, that would be pretty cool.

Bye Week Teams: Falcons, Cowboys, Titans, Chargers

Week 7

Thursday Night!

(FOX/NFL) Dolphins at Texans -  The Dolphins are going to be without Tannehill for another week, but seemingly Brock Osweiller is playing well enough right now that they shouldn't have to worry. He gets a chance to play against his old team in Primetime. I don't think the Texans are a good team. Same record for both, but the Texans keep having some defensive lapses. Osweiller tries to do to much, and well...Texans 24, Dolphins 20

Sunday October 28th

(NFL) Eagles at Jaguars - LONDON BABY. Hey Jaguars, you are getting torched by some mediocre teams. Thought you'd turn the corner this season, but you haven't. You did not build on your AFC Championship game from last year. Instead, you have regressed. Oh, you too, Eagles. not a good team. But, something about London where teams play extremely great entertaining games. I think this one is going to be a shootout. Eagles 31, Jaguars 27

(CBS) Jets at Bears - The Bears, if their offense plays much better, can still contend for the division. Defense is keeping them above water. I think they are going to get after that Rookie QB for the Jets. Bears 27, Jets 13

(FOX) Buccaneers at Bengals - I am still not sure about the buoyant Bengals. Up one week, down another. We know the Bucs can score, the problem is can the Bengals stop them. I think this is is a nope. Bucs 20, Bengals 13

(FOX) Seahawks (3-3) at Lions (3-3) - The Seahawks and Lions are about as mediocre as their records would indicate. a Meh game. Seahawks 27, Lions 20

(CBS) Broncos at Chiefs - Best game of the day. Fully expect a defensive battle to start, and the Chiefs to have a second half onslaught. Chiefs 34, Broncos 20

(FOX) Redskins at Giants  - Sorry, Giants fans. Your team is horrible. Like, vying for first pick horrible. Redskins 30, Giants 14

(CBS) Browns at Steelers  - I want the Browns to win, or tie, since that's already happened, but I still don't think they have enough to get over the hump this week. Steelers 17, Browns 9

(CBS) Ravens at Panthers  - Panthers are 3-0 at home, and playing good at home. Road, not so much. But, they get a Ravens team who is 2-2 on the road. The Ravens defense is as good as it gets. Number one. A 15th ranked Panthers offense. I think the Ravens can shut down Cam Newton, and win a close game. Ravens 13, Panthers 10

(CBS) Colts at Raiders  - Just Tank, Baby. Colts 21, Raiders 13

(FOX) Packers at Rams - Rams are the only undefeated team. The Packers defense is suspect. Big Play prone. The Rams offense is top 5 ranked in several categories. I think the Packers are in over their head this week. Rams 27, Packers 13

(FOX) 49ers at Cardinals - Someone has to win this week. Both teams are just, worse than the other.  Cardinals 17, 49ers 9

(NBC) Saints at Vikings  - Saints are killing it on offense.Drew Brees is as good as he's ever been. Vikings finally seem to have found a groove. This is one of those "who has the ball last" type of games. we could see a scoreboard fiesta. Vikings 34, Saints 31

Monday October 29th

(ESPN) Patriots at Bills  - Bills you get your one time to shine...and catch a beatdown on Monday night. Patriots 38, Bills 10

NFL Week 7

Thoughts:
1. If there is a team that is more up and down than the Jags, I don't want to know about them.
2. Sure, the Chiefs lost, BUT, they played pretty great. It's their defense that will be their achilles heel.
3. Tom Brady, still got it.
4. If it's  a close game, and Aaron Rodgers has the ball, you done lost son. That guy, is clutch.
5. Still not sure which is the real Cowboys team.
6. Raiders, enjoying that 10 year contract for Gruden, lol.
7. Maybe the Chargers fans are hibernating, because right now, their  home games are pretty empty. Perhaps putting two teams in LA was not *checks notes* wise.
8. Rams are currently the toast of the league. I mean, the Chiefs still are, but the Rams are playing excellent football.

Week 7
Thursday!

Broncos at Cardinals - Both teams are pretty bad. Broncos have lost 4 straight. Cardinals are 0-3 at home. Broncos will put it all together tonight, because the cardinals are worst than they are. Broncos 27, Cardinals 17

Sunday 

6:30a.m.

Titans at Chargers - This "home game" for the chargers is in London, so of course the stands will be full. I think The Chargers will win. Sure they have a 4-2 record, their defense is playing great, but right now, the Chargers need a real home. Sorry, but Titans will actually win this close game. Titans 24, Chargers 20

Patriots at Bears - I really think this is going to be one of those games where Tom gets banged up. That Bears defense, is insane. Bears 21, Patriots 17

Bills at Colts - Bad vs Bad. It's a home game, so I will say the Colts will get a W. Colts 31, Bills 20

Lions at Dolphins - I wouldn't have thought that the Dolphins would be 4-2 and near the top of their division. But, here we are. Lions are right where they should be. Bad, heading toward a top 5 pick. Dolphins 24, Lions 20

Vikings at Jets  - I thought the Vikes were going to be Super Bowl bound, but they seem to have regressed from last season. Jets, well they are still locked for a top 12 pick. That defense is about to harass the rookie. Vikings 34, Jets 27

Panthers at Eagles - Both teams need a win. Both teams should be better, but they really struggle on defense. Key letdowns late in the game. It's crazy how bad they are. It's a home game. Eagles should get after Newton. Eagles 17, Panthers 10

Browns at Buccaneers - I'm going to go out on a limb, and say the Browns steal one on the road. Browns 20, Bucs 14

Texans at Jaguars -  Really thought the Jaguars would be at least 5-1, but the defense has been exposed as subpar. Which, is hilarious, right Jalen Ramsey. They should correct the course, and pick up a much needed win. Jaguars 28, Texans 20

Saints at Ravens - Fresh off the bye week, the Saints should be well rested. Still worry about the defense, but with Drew Brees slinging that rock, they should be fine. Saints 34, Ravens 17

Rams at 49ers - I'll save you all the trouble...Rams 37, 49ers 9

Cowboys at Redskins - Still don't think  the real Cowboys are gonna show up. They haven't put two good games back to back in a while. Redskins 19, Cowboys 13

Bengals at Chiefs - I fully expect the Chiefs to rebound, and score at least 35. Chiefs 38, Bengals 20

Monday!

Giants at Falcons - How bad are the Giants. Real bad. Teammates and owners snipping at each other in the media. Offense sucks. Defense is bad. Falcons should be able to get by. Falcons 27, Giants 10

NFL Week 5

Stupid me, typed up week 4, never published it. I am pretty dumb at times.

THURSDAY NIGHT-

(FOX/NFL) Colts (1-3) at Patriots (2-2) - Never fails that the patriots start out slow, and then build momentum and next thing you know they are in the Super Bowl. Will they make it this season? Probably not. But, they are true to form building momentum. Should beat the lowly Colts. Patriots 31, Colts 13

Sunday 

(CBS) Titans (3-1) at Bills (1-3) - Titans. Cause the the Bills are just, bad. Titans 27, Bills 9

(CBS) Dolphins (3-1) at Bengals (3-1) - Here's an interesting matchup. The Dolphins got beat down by the Patriots, but prior to that, the Dolphins were having a decent season. Good enough to make the playoffs, not in the AFC. Bengals, well they are in a dogfight for the division, so if they want to keep pace with the Ravens, this is a must win. Bengals 20, Dolphins 17

(CBS) Ravens (3-1) at Browns (1-2-1) - I...I'm going to go out on a limb, and say the Browns steal a game this week. Just a gut feeling. Browns 24, Ravens 20

(Packers (2-1-1) at Lions (1-3)  - Surprisingly every team in this division is looking up at the Bears. If the Packers want to catch the Bears, they need to beat the lowly, lack of defense, Lions. Packers 27, Lions 17

Game of the Week

(FOX) Jaguars (3-1) at Chiefs (4-0) - The Jaguars and the Chiefs are the best game this week. I am intrigued because both teams have good defenses, and surprisingly amazing offenses. So it should be a good matchup. I don't think the Chiefs are going to lose, cause they are the best in this matchup. Chiefs 21, Jaguars 20

(CBS) Broncos (2-2) at Jets (1-3) - Broncos will rebound and smack down the lowly Jets. Broncos 35, Jets 10

(FOX) Falcons (1-3) at Steelers (1-2-1) - I want the steelers to be good, but they are not good. The record of the Falcons isn't really indicative of the kind of team they are. They can beat the Steelers, and they should. Falcons 24, Steelers 20

(FOX) Giants (1-3) at Panthers (2-1) - Panthers should steal a home game this week. Panthers 14, Giants 10

(CBS) Raiders (1-3) at Chargers (2-2) - For everyone that wants the Raiders to be good, they aren't. They have no offense. Their defense is suspect. They get an Old Phillip Rivers, and could win the game, but to be honest, Gruden isn't that really good of a coach. Chargers 27, Raiders 20

(FOX) Vikings (1-2-1) at Eagles (2-2) - Why the Eagles so...so...subpar. For a Super Bowl team, they aren't impressive. I mean, for a team that had world class defense, the Vikings aren't either. So, Could be a toss up. Eagles 23, Vikings 17

(FOX) Cardinals (0-4) at 49ers (1-3) - Worst game of the week. 49ers 17, Cardinals 9

(FOX) Rams (4-0) at Seahawks (2-2) - Why the Rams trying to become the Greatest Show on Turf, again. Like, they are beating teams, good teams. The Seahawks, well, I'm not really impressed. Still gaping holes, and now they've lost their best defender. I see them getting a beatdown, at home. Rams 37, Seahawks 13

(NBC) Cowboys (2-2) at Texans (1-3) - Cowboys, you're still bad. Texans, well you are equally as bad. Battle of Texas, is just BLAAAAAAH. I mean, i'll watch, but it looks bad. Texans 24, Cowboys 20

Monday

(ESPN) Redskins (2-1) at Saints (3-1) - I think the Saints will try to put up video game numbers. They've had some impressive scoring outbursts, and the Redskins defense is kind of...what's another word for bad. Waaaaay less than good. Saints 34, Redskins 20

Bye Teams Bears, Buccaneers
