T’aint fair! The NFL giveth with the one hand and taketh away with the other. AS ALWAYS! Hey, as long as I’m shouting… TO THE GAMES!
Cards/Bills:
Not a lot to like here. I’d just like to add-poor Joe Mixon. Poor, poor Joe Mixon.
Bills/Titans:
The hits keep coming. What’s the over/under here-14.5? Matt Barkley is not an NFL qb by any means and there are rumblings the Tennessee head office feels the same about Mariota. The end result? A run-heavy Gore (maybe Singletary?) and Henry grinder. Fade to black Corey Davis. And while you’re at it do the same to te Delanie-the Bills have given up 76 yards all season to the position.
Bears/Raiders:
There are plenty of kudos out there for te Waller but the fella is looked at between the 20’s and not at all in the end zone. This is not an exaggeration-he doesn’t have a single look yet.
Bucs/Saints:
Tampa has a good overall D but defending the slot is an on-going problem. Since the beginning of last year they’ve given up the second-most yards, completions and TD’s. Guess who grades out as the best slot receiver over the last three years? Yeah, that’d be one Michael Thomas. Shaquil Barrett and his nine sacks has an interesting matchup vs. tackles Armstead and Ramczyk, who have not given up a sack yet.
Vikes/Gmen:
Minny just barely avoids the dreaded Saquon-sanity showdown. This one is a real, actual test for Danny Ten Cent, given the pressure up front and cb Howard’s tendency to take players out of the game. (though he did get burned last week or the week before, I don’t remember and I’m running out of time)
Jets/Eagles:
Philly is completely exploitable at the wr spot and Anderson/Crowder are above average, but then one must add Luke Falk into the equation and just like that it all falls apart.
Rams/Steelers:
As I said, I’m running out of time. This should have been up two hours ago.
Pats/Potato Skins:
Another walk in the park W for New England is on the sked. Qu’elle surprise! Washington’s point total has gone souther and souther-from 27 to 21 to 15 to 3. I’ve a notion what the next number up is.
Jags/Panthers:
Bettors have no doubt noticed that Minshew is 3-0 vs. the spread but he now faces the only D that allows less than 200 yards thru the air. This is not the week to go Full Mustache Ride.
Falcons/Texans:
Lingering memories from last year tell me that Houston has an above-average D but when you actually peruse the numbers they’re in the 24-ish range. Same but the t’udder way with the Falcons-they’re knocking on top 10 status.
There she be. Why don’t you catch some Other Football while you wait for the games to commence?
Jets missing 50+ yard field goals is the most automatic thing in football
Control, steps, and “football move”, Mr Blandino?
What’s a more football move than having your head slammed into the ground?
I look forward to the referee saying the Bengals WR dropped the ball when he lost consciousness after being slammed on his head.
London camera crews always fun because the play action actually works on them.
Just wait until they see a flea flicker. The cameraman may have to sit down for that one.
This feels like an exact replay of that Bears v. Giants game from last year.
Bill must have forgotten to sacrifice any orphans this week.
Yowza! And Slayton is supposed to have iffy hands.
and YOU MENTIONED him as a sleeper play this week
I hope somebody, somewhere played him.
The least rapey can do is throw it to Howard
I finally cut that asshole this week. Eifert also has 0.00.
On second look, I started Mandrews, so this is okay
DANNYTENCENTDOWN!!!
These first 17 minutes of Raiders/Bears have me waiting to see my cat walk by twice after the Matrix resets.
lol Chase with the kiss of death double tap
This Cincinnati crowd did not turn out today.
The fanbase apathy is real. People are talking openly about the city letting the team leave when the lease is up in 2026. Get ready for either St. Louis Bengals or San Diego Bengals.
Good. I wish Phoenix had let the Suns walk last year.
Sacramento keeping the Kings is an egregious Turd Polish. Put em in Seattle and be done with it.
Phoenix is like the 6th largest population center in the nation. It blows my mind that they’re too stupid to leverage that in these negotiations. Not with the team owners, they don’t give a shit. But call in Adam Silver. See how the NBA commission feels about losing out on a market where MLB, NFL, NHL, and an up-and-coming soccer team all exist.
If nothing else, they’d move to the front of the line when a good owner wants to speak to a city.
It’s kind of hilarious how little respect the Raiders get from ESPN’s win probability calculator. 0-0 game, ball in the Bears half of the field, it gives the Bears a 65% chance of winning. Raiders go up 7-0, calculator now gives the Raiders only a 62% chance of winning.
How about now?
Should be illegal for a white RB to catch a TD imo
Wait — do they call the Red River Shootout the Red River Showdown now?
Given it’s Texas and Oklahoma, I’m surprised the renaming didn’t make it the Christian Jesus Kiddie-Rape-Is-Ok And So Is Fucking-Your-Pool-Boy Gunz 4 All School Shoot Out Presented By Russia: Russia, America’s Greatest Non-Middle Eastern Ally.
Bengals already have a ready made excuse for Loss No. 5.

That Bengals Pennywise fan mask was legit.
OK, how’s that a first down for us against the Redacteds?! I mean, nothing against freebies from the refs, but that was in no shape way or form a first down!
Jay, that’s not how belts are supposed to be worn.
I like that the NFL 100 footballs, highlighting the history of every team, actually has ONLY recent Seahawks players.
As any 12s fan will tell you, this team never existed before Russell Wilson.
Announcers taken aback by a potential Pats OPI-it took a ref’s conference to get it done but it happened.
That Geico ad was creepy as fuck.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait, Newcastle WON.. and wifey didn’t curse and come to complain to me?! … Better send one of the kids to investigate!
3rd and 20, 3 yard crossing route and 7 YAC. But Chase Daniel is the answer, Jimmy.
Ghost’s on IR, yet we keep fucking up +1’s… DOES NOT COMPUTE 😀
Nugent wide to the right you say? Expected.
Goddamn, Watson
Oh, yeah. That’s right. The Bengals suck.
Those incisors are gonna make a mark.
A pick by god 6 by a fucking Eagle is apparently a thing that’s allowed to happen
White DB down!
Is that even legal?
JETS DERP
Glad to know some things never change…
Hey, when you’re a Jet you’re a Jet
Unless you meet a steel wall. It’s name is the Eagles 😀
That catch by Montgomery was simultaneously a statement of how impressive he is and an indictment of Chase Daniel
Of course Chase Daniel immediately committing a false start is also an indictment of Chase Daniel
oh Cincy.
Dirty Steelers being dirty
Steelers D throwing dirty hits? The hell you say?
Awww, not the Yinzers?! They’re pure as the driven (from Colombia) snow that the Coasties intercept …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4vIBijzg4w
It’s not gonna happen, but I would be hugely amused if the one W the Redacteds get this year comes today
Jeez Vikes, what are you doing?I’m not complaining though.
Ooo that’s gonna make Bellichick mad.
WHAT THE FUCK NEW ENGLAND
GOD DAMNIT YOU ASSHOLES
Plot twist – 70-ish TD run for the Redacteds…
With all the Green jerseys, Eagles fans are having trouble with which team is theirs. They’re being asked to only throw D batteries when they are sure. They can throw AA batteries at everyone.
Oh, Richie Incognito did something dirty? How shocking.
Am definitely okay with Pats losing to the worst team in football history
Oh, Ritchie, never, ever, eveeeer NOT change, you big crazy bastard
I will never understand the thing where writers try to rehab Incognito’s image every other season despite the fact that he routinely demonstrates what a pile of garbage he is as a human being for pretty much his entire career
white ppl NEVAR run out of 2nd chances
Giants play-action that works? This is a thing now. I never thought I’d see the day.
I Ubered till 4:00 in the morning. I was up at 11:00. I have a turkey in the oven, southern greens on the simmer, cauliflower washed and prepped. I cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, and started a load of laundry. Go football. Take me away for an afternoon.
Dude, what time are we coming over for lunch and/or dinner?
jfc never do that again philly
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!
A shocking exhibition of dumb luck
This quasi competence by the Raiders offense must be a result of jet lag
or proof the metric system works.
Cousins seriously has lost all confidence.
He had confidence?! When?
The family reunion in West Virginia?
YOU LIKE THAT guy.
That was like 2016? And if anything that was a bewildered “You like that?! You like that?!?!”
We may not be worse than Arizona? We may not be worse than Arizona!
