Your Regular Sunday Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

To The Games!

Steelers/Bills:

Not sure if this is true but a sports talkin’ guy said that Pitt hasn’t been a 14 point dog in a game since 1968. Pitt’s O is ranked 30th overall so I doubt they’ll be able to keep up to Josh & Co.

Chargers/Browns:

Does Herbert like playing on the road? Today he’ll be trying for his 8th straight 300 yarder on foreign soil. He’ll likely get there as Cleveland is giving up an average of almost 8 yards a play in the 4th quarter. Makes it a bit hard to close out games, that.

Texans/Jags:

“From Worst to First: The Story of the 2-2 Jacktown Jaguars” doesn’t really have a good ring to it, I don’t know what to call this three hour-long documentary I made. My oh-so ‘sneaky’ fantasy pick of Davis Mills should give you some idea of what a dumb putz I can be, given the right conditions.

Bears/Vikings:

Minny is a quiet 3-1 currently. “Quiet”, for me in that when I think of good teams in the NFC the Vikes don’t come to mind. Perhaps when they get to 4-1 I’ll have to revisit my thinking. Poor Justin Fields-he’s getting sacked on almost 25% of his dropbacks.

Lions/Pats:

This doesn’t seem like a high-scoring game but Detroit will make it happen somehow. More correctly, their cornerbacks will make it happen. Zappe gets his first start and I’m actually pulling for his unprepared ass.

Seahawks/Saints:

C’mon Geno, you can do it again! Maybe he’s just a good player whose career got derailed? He was a 2nd round pick that blew out his knee. There, I’m convinced.

Fins/Jets:

Zach was lousy for 3 quarters last weekend and then put it together in the 4th, going 10-12 for 128 yardos. He’s the one that made that unlikely upset happen.

Falcons/Bucs:

Welcome to the big leagues, Tyler Allgeier-another rook gets his first start. He’ll be helped by an o-line that is surprisingly ranked 2nd overall in runblocking by the nerds at PFF.

Titans/Commies:

Outside of Puerto Rico and Tennessee, is there anyone watching this snore-fest?

Enjoy the games.
