At the very least all the football since Thanksgiving has been eyeball worthy in one way or another. Whether you like upsets, great performances or wonky plays, football has provided. And now for the latest iteration.

To The Games!

Chargers/Falcons:

One thing about Harbaugh not leaning on Herbert earlier in the season is that the latter’s INT’s (which are usually double digits-10, 15, 10 again) are now down to just one. Atlanta has lost three of their last five but still lead their division. That’s the NFC South for you.

Steelers/Bengals:

Joe’s doing his part-could the Cincy D (aside from Hendrickson) step up for once? It’s last gasp time in Dumb Spaghetti Land. I’d like to see them muddy up the division a little. I’d also like to see Chase catch three TD’s today because that would mean that he would have half of the team’s 30, which would be insane.

Cards/Vikes:

Arizonny having a winning record this late in the season is disorienting. May as well take advantage of Kyler before the December Swoon takes hold which is coincidentally the same time as all those new games are released for the Christmas season. Minny is sitting pretty as they enter the stretch run because they have three straight home games and are 4-1 there.

Colts/Pats:

With the Texans faltering Indy has an outside chance of being a factor if they can cobble together a few wins but that’s a big ask. They’ve lost four on the road but New England has lost four at home. Does that number symmetry add up to a win? Magic 8 Ball says, “Huh?”.

Seahawks/Jets:

Woody’s Bumbling Carnival of Fools and Fact Contrarians are 1-7 over the last two months and the bleeding just won’t stop. The dysfunction is so obvious that even the hot-takers can’t think of a “what if?” scenario that would result in the Jets being competent, never mind having a winning record.

Titans/Commies:

Just three weeks ago Washington was 7-2 and the talk of the NFL. Now they’re that number of games behind Philly in the division. A timely win here and a Baltimore win (more on that in the late window, natch) would get them back in the conversation again as a serious team.

Texans/Jags:

Speaking of teams that need a leg up, Houston is 1-3 lately and looking very shakey indeed. A bad loss to the Jets, a three point loss to the Detroit Juggernauts, a thrashing of Dallas and a head-shaking 5 point L to the Titans tells you that maximum effort isn’t being expended on a weekly basis. Or is it a gameplan problem? The talent is certainly there.

Do that thing you do.
