By now you must be fully awake. The coffee has kicked in and now it’s time for other stimulants. By that I mean more football-don’t put words in my mouth-hole.

To The Games!

Panthers/Falcons:

2-5 Carolina can tie for the division lead with a win. And I thought the NFC East was bad last year! (Narrator: “It was.”) No one gives a rat’s tiny dong about this one except the participants.

Bears/Cowboys:

Not many are giving Fields and Stream much of a chance but the same thing was said last week vs the Pats and that one turned out okay. Maybe Eberflus has something going on.

Fins/Lions:

Usually a game between these teams wouldn’t arise any interest in the likes of me but I think this might be a shootout sort of thingy. And if that’s the case it would be great if Campbell can finally close a game out with the highest score.

Cards/Vikes:

Kliff’s Karousel of Near Kompetence really, really appreciates D-Hop. Arizonny is 5-9 when he’s not on the field and 9-2 when he’s operational.

Raiders/Saints:

Vegas is only 1 1/2 games out of a wild card spot but you’d think that distance will increase as the weeks bleed out. Jacobs is on a nice run of three straight 140+ yard games rushing.

Pats/Jets:

Bill tries again to pass Halas to get to second in wins. It’s odd to type this but it should be tough going on the road vs a Jets team that has bought into whatever Saleh is selling.

Steelers/Eagles:

Hoo Boy! An undefeated team coming off a bye, playing at home against a team that has lost 5 of 6 and is starting a rookie qb? You don’t have to be Albert Eisenstein to figure out the solution to this formula.

Hit that typing interface. HARD!
