JETS @ Giants??

Better to be riding shotgun with a Dalmatian in an orange convertible to Mentone beach instead.

We will win the Battle of New York*

Some good match ups this week. Seattle vs Minnesota should be a cracker. Slighty worried about the Panthers vs Saints game. The Saints will want to bounce back after a poor showing against the Texans. Brees is capable of dissecting the Panthers D if he is on and their defense held us pretty well when we played them earlier this year.

 

[JeffDunne]

The only thing the Saints have in their favour this week is it's the last significant game we play this year. Significant too only because of Carolina's record.

I wouldn't take too much from the last time we played. Had Cam not been Cam in that game . . . sorry, I mean if Cam had not been "enjoying himself" . . . it would never have been close. Carolina also didn't have their best D player on the field and the D is playing a step up from then.

Also, and I know this upsets precious Panther fans, this week shows again how favourable their schedule has worked out. Teams generally find back-to-back road games hard to get up for, but thanks to Romo they had a training drill in their first game & thanks to Thanksgiving an extended break to prepare for their next game. An injured & underdone Romo on a short break meant the short week helped them, now the extended break does too.

I'm not suggesting anything other than when you're hot, the football gods can be kind.

If Carolina lose this week then it will have more to do with them than us.

 

[JeffDunne]

For me, two of the most interesting games are two non-divisional games in a week full of divisional matchups.

HOU & IND traveling are two games hard to get a read on.

Seahawks @ Vikings should be a great game too.

Philly & New Orleans against the two best teams in football is prime for the sadists. At least I won't have to get up @ 4am & be thinking @ 4:15am "what am I doing watching this s**t?"

I agree that Divisional games are a different beast and looking back at last week, IMO, it wasn't the case that Romo was underdone because he has one of the better O-lines to protect him and already won in his first game back but having watched the loss to the Black Cats was more about Romo's sheer impatience that screwed him and the Cowboys. As with the Saints D, that's a worry... I read that they played a lot better on the weekend (conceding 24 doesn't seem so bad). It's all about what the O does in the NFL... drives are certain stall after a great play so if the Saints can find their rhythm, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they top the Black Cats. But the Black Cats D have a few players who are in piping hot form. Just don't play into their hands. That's the key. Too many dumb teams in the NFL love pushing the envelope and get torched in the process.

I hate it how Allens put black cats in their retro party mix lolly bags. Who in gods name likes black cats???

You remind me of a bloke i used to work with Woodson who had a nickname for everything. He cracked me up and so do you.

He'd go into a milk bar run by asians and ask for a gristle and gravy at lunchtime, they wouldnt have a clue what he was talking about every time.

'Cant you just ask for a pie like a normal person'.... i would often say.

I actually like to stick it to 'Stiller fans' who live in denial and have stepped away from defending Tomlin. The guy is proving time and time again how much of a gimp coach he actually is. I knew 3-4 years ago that Tomlin's decisions cost the Steelers so many close games that is hilarious that the Steelers continue to avoid losing seasons which keeps him in the job: (read: there are an overwhelming amount of equally DUMB coaches out there). Fans and players deserve better. The 'passing game' has ruined this league with the dainty yet ultra inconsistency of the baffling 'interpretations' of rules which suck all the fun out of the game.

 

[juss]

Jets @ Giants will be a ripper.

Would love to see the Texans and Bucs make it though

Don't need gamepass if you're a Dallas fan.

You seriously have the Giants going 4-1?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

You seriously have the Giants going 4-1?

I think we will drop a game before the end of the year. Eli going Elite makes the most sense to me.

Fair call, they will most likely be 8-8 with Washington though.

 

[Blacky]

I hope we send Chargers straight to LA and they swap Divisions with Seattle

 

[Blacky]

Their patheticness has no place in AFCW

 

[Dagger5]

Green Bay ain't winning out. For one they will lose to the Lions this week

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Teddy will need to find a connection on the outside early to give AD some kind of room throughout. If they can key in on AD and we have bugger all on the outside like against GB, I predict a similar result.

Look forward to another great test for the Vikes!

Atlanta @ Tampa

The real MVP of the league Devontae Freeman will be back for this one which will set up more manageable passing situations to convert for Matt Ryan. So only two interceptions. Doug Martin to rush for 150 yards and the WR not being followed by Trufant to score 2 TDs.

Tampa Bay 28
Falcons 9
