Surprisingly, not a lot of action on the west coast for this window but we’ll be entertained nontheless.

To The Games!

Chargers/Broncos:

Dobbins got out of the gate strong with 266 yards in the first two games but has only accrued 76 in his last two outings. Does he have a nagging injury or are opposing defenses keying on him because the whole league knows what Harbaugh wants to do? Bo Nix is showing a great deal of progress lately, throwing for two scores and running for a third last week. Touted rookie rb Audric Estime has been activated for the first time but he’s listed as questionable. Do you figure Payton’s darling gets his feet wet today?

Steelers/Raiders:

Noll! Madden! This is a tremendous tussle…50 years ago. My fear is that Fields is going to make one mistake too many and get yanked in the next few weeks because Wilson is practicing on a regular basis now and if the latter is known for one thing (aside from being a loon) it’s not turning the ball over. On the other side Pierce is tired of giveaways so O’Connell is now under center, yeah, that’ll fix things. He best lean on the very talented Brock Bowers.

Lions/Cowboys:

If you managed to grab both Gibbs and Montgomery you’re the smartest rabbit in the den. The former has been top 15 every week and the latter has a scoring streak going back seven games. With Detroit having the 7th-best passing offense and Dallas being 2nd, expect the points to come in bunches. Goff now has 19 straight completions over two games-the record is 25. Them Cowboys need this game badly because they have the league’s toughest schedule over the next four weeks.

Falcons/Panthers:

Hear Ye. Hear Ye. Play all the Atlanta players you can. Cousins should have himself another helluva game and I hope he takes Mooney along for the ride once again. That Carolina D has given up 20 TD’s already and an average of 33 ppg. Poor Canales-on top of everything he’s missing six starters for this one.

Let’s go back, Jack. Do it again.
