^ Games of the week as far as i'm concerned.

 

[aussiedude]

the "Goodell Bowl" on will be interesting, i think i might watch more college games that i record over the weekend rather than the NFL games.

 

[Special Agent Utah]

Ben Graham put on the reserve list because of his calf injury.

Big week for the Bears i reckon, need to string together a few good wins in a row.

 

[Blacky]

Some serious value on offer this week.

Seahawks -1 surely a moral
Same as Cincy v Jags

 

[aussiedude]

i feel for the teams that get yesterdays official crew, last week they did the Rams/Skins game.

 

[ausbacker]

It's been a long time since New England has been in a must win at week 4.

 

[GreyWind]

All I know is the Saints are going to be in for a hell of a time.

Week 4 Fearless Predictions.

Cleveland at Baltimore Step right up, step right up, everyone wins a prize. See the bearded woman horrify you with offensive holding calls, the siamese twins astound you with their timeout management and the indian rubber man tie all of the broadcasting teams in knots trying to explain the latest onfield ruling. In the NFL, the sideshow is the mainshow when it comes to the replacement officials.

Carolina at Atlanta Now that NFL calibre defensive coordinators have found Superman's crytonite (formally known as the cover 2 defense), Cam Newton hasn't looked so hot. Under normal circumstances this wouldn't be a big issue, most rookie phenoms go through this, but I do like how Can confuses taking a lose on the chin with pouting about it.

Minnesota at Detroit Could the Lions possibly have given up more unique and wonderful ways to be scored against than last week? I mean was it throw back week where they decided to reenact the Music City Miracle? This week they host the Vikes who, behind personal favourite, Christian Ponder didn't look too bad in winning the game by basically keeping the 49ers offense off the field.

New England at Buffalo When was the last time that the Pats rolled into Buffalo with their season on the line? Word is Belicheck avoided suspension for grabbing a referee at games conclusion because there was no evidence that the person he grabbed was in fact a referee. If the Bills front seven can put consistent pressure on Brady they win this despite how many intercepts Fitzgerald throws.

San Diego at Kansas City In more homage to throw back days, the Chiefs put up a Nigerian Nightmare, Christian Okeye, type performance on the struggling Saints. In San Deigo last week, either the Chargers finally returned to normal early season form or the Falcons are that good. I'm thinking it was a bit of both.

San Francisco at New York Jets The 49ers looked at their schedule this year and saw guys like Rodgers, Brady, Manning, Brees and Stafford on their schedule. I'm sure they didn't pay too much attention to a guy named Ponder who showed that the 49ers defense might have some struggles against ball control offenses manned by a smart QB. The Jets have neither but still manage to win because the 49ers don't cheat enough to get away with it with the replacement refs.

Seattle at St. Louis The three scary observations from the MNF game, other than the obvious, was that the Seattle defense was brutal in that first half, Lynch looks he hasn't laid off the Skittles and the officials had a better passer rating than Russell Wilson. The Rams are a very good chance of causing an upset here especially since they rescheduled the game to Saturday night and didn't tell the Seahawks.

Tennessee at Houston The Titans/Lions game was more like an NFL game you'd play out on Madden 13. I'm stuffed to know where all that offense come from, especially with Chris Johnson continuing to feature most often these days on milk cartons. The hit injury prone Schaub took last week would normally have him on IR by now but times have changed in Houston.

Cincinnati at Jacksonville Cincinatti's defense still looks suspect to me. But they also look like they are a team that are warming up, as long as they don't have to play the Ravens again, which they do, so they will probably miss a divisional title, which would piss me off if I was the Bengals now that the Steelers are FINALLY starting to show their age.

Miami at Arizona The Cards have beaten up on Vick and Brady in recent weeks so I fear for Tannehill's life here. But here is hoping that the Miami coaching staff see some sense and put the ball in the hands of Reggie Bush early and often. This is my upset pick of the week, not because I necessarily think that Bush can counter the Cards defense but because they are a divisional rival with a one game lead over the 49ers.

Oakland at Denver Last week we learnt that Manning the Snr can't beat up on the Texans anymore and that the Steelers defense looked gassed (old?) to me. Oakland are probably happy they don't have to put up with anymore Tebow shananigans in Denver but their pass defense probably wish it did.

New Orleans at Green Bay Did you notice how when the Packer players walked off after the Seattle game they had to put their helmets in a box before entering the locker room? Can you just imagine the carnage if they took them in, would have been like a scene from Waterloo with all those yellow cannon balls flying around? Anyway, a year ago this was supposed to be a prelude to the NFC Championship game. Now it will be ESPN showing you all the teams that didn't make the playoffs following a 1-3 or 0-4 start.

Washington at Tampa Bay The Bucs could be 3-0 by now but the legacy of not wanting to win last year has caused a bit of a carry over hang over. RGIII is still, probably, most likely, in all possibility going to be a great QB provided the triple option offense comes back into NFL vogue (Coach Shanahan is this the best you can do with your rookie, second pick overall QB? Roll out college plays?)

New York Giants at Philadelphia Seriously, is Andy Reid really a secret spokesman for PETA? How else can you explain the way he continues to throw his QB to the dogs? The Cards are a great defense who feast on drop back QBs so I am trying to understand why you didn't call any meaningful run plays until the game was lost. It's not like you don't have a decent running back.

Chicago at Dallas The Bears won last week playing the way they used to play and win by. Keep the ball and allow your defense to make the plays to win you the game. But its primetime now, which means three things, one the replacement refs will reserve their worst performance for the week, 200+ camera cuts to Cutler sulking on the sideline and 90% of the pregame show content focused on Tony Romo's new cooking book.

The only logic you are picking the Dolphins is because the Cardinals are a divisional rival...just wow. At least come up with some ridiculous explanation instead of leaving it at that.

You have no context of the weekly predictions post do you?

Clearly not then

If anyone is watching anymore.....

I'll watch the pats, but i doubt i'm going to watch a game as a neutral this week

 

[exe ex machina]

There's another free.ride for you ausbacker with belichick avoiding suspension

 

[GreyWind]

I'm still waiting to hear the fines that Packers players are going to get.

What did I miss? Is sodomy an offense in Seattle?

They won't, most players have realised they can say what they want, the nfl can't fine one without fining 100

I'm hoping you're right.

In other news Joe Mays has been suspended for a game for his hit on Schaub and fined I think $50,000.

 

[larkis]

Bloody public holiday on Monday, only chance all year I can watch the Rams live and the NFL produces vomit. Still watching as Rams are undefeated at home. Anyone know if it's possible to cancel your payments towards gamepass?

Max out your credit card on something else so they cant take money?

Why should he have been suspended? A fine was penalty enough. Mind you, I wouldn't be fining any coach or player given the on field conduct of the replacements.

Lol, just because they are incompetent doesn't give the players or coaches the right to assault them

 

[DaSawx]

Big game on MNF.

Two very good defenses going up against two average O-Lines.

Think the team who runs the ball better wins.

 

[Dagless]

If anyone is watching anymore.....

Balmain's rage is measurable based on how long it takes him to post the next weeks thread

Too much primetime Giants...
