Your Late-ish Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

I can almost see the finish line boys. There’s but three tilts to choose from but if you like the footed ball they’re all interesting in their own way. Just like your children. (if you have children, if you don’t, family members work as well)

To The Games!

Cards/Browns:

The Cards run D gives up an average of 4.9 yards per rush so far this year. What I’m trying to say is that Kareem Hunt is going to have himself one helluva day. And really that’s the best thing for the Browns-just having Mayfield hand the ball off because things get dicey when he tosses it. Just ask OBJ. Is Koach Kliff a dumb anti-vaxxer? Back in July he had no idea how many of his players had gotten the needle. Hmmm… Today he’ll be resting comfortably away from the game and in his mistaken beliefs.

Raiders/Broncos:

Both Carr’s and Bridgewater’s early success was due to them stretching the field. As anyone could have guessed, they’ve both started to revert back to old habits. Both were near 9 yards per pass attempt and both are coming back to about 6 lately. Fantasy points-wise the Denver D has allowed the 2nd-least fantasy points to qb’s. NO FLY ZONE part deux?

Cowboys/Pats:

The schedule makers are two years too late with this one. But I guess the Bradyless Pats have to play someone. The Dallas D is second in turnovers produced (12) but are also 25th in yards allowed per play. The sked doesn’t look that bad (yay, NFC least!) so they may be able to sustain their success but that oughta get fixed before the playoffs arrive.

Have at it.
