Onward and Upwards We Go!

The bye weeks have kicked in so the Falcons, Bears, Steelers and Packers are lollygagging it.

To The Games!

Raiders/Colts:

Geno threw three picks last week-there’s just something about that Jets…what’s the opposite of magic? Indy’s tight end Warren has the most yards four games in of any rookie starting his career. Though the Colts have the fourth-most total points they’ve had some issues in the red zone, only converting on 47% of their chances.

Giants/Saints:

Did anyone take New York in Survivor? (snorts) At least the d-line is playing up to the hype-Abdul Carter, Kayvon and Burns have racked up an impressive 53 pressures so far. Here’s the best case scenario-the Giants enjoy their first and only two game winning streak of the season.

Cowboys/Jets:

Wadda ya do with these mooks that have but one win between them? As per the usual the Jets are their own worst enemy, leading everyone with six fumbles and ranking 7th with 40 penalties. We should see a ton of Dak! to Pickens today, otherwise the latter might start pouting as he is want to do.

Broncs/Eagles:

Whar A.J. Brown? He’s been held to 27 yards or fewer in three of four tilts. But Saquon has picked up the slack. What? He hasn’t rushed for 100 yards yet? Is Philly doing it with smoke and mirrors? J.K. Dobbins became the first Denver rb to run for 100+ yards in 38 games. Cooper DeJean isn’t a one-year wonder. YET!

Fins/Panthers:

Oh look-it’s the red-headed stepchild of Red Zone before us. Ugh.

Texans/Ravens:

Baltimore has a sparkling 13-2 record vs Houston. Ouch! Stroud puts up an average of just 7 points a game so far but could shake out of it today. This is not the Ravens D that you’ve grown accustomed to-they’re down six starters and Next Man Up is nowhere to be found. Lamar is out so Cooper Rush is in and the playbook will look much different. Why would you employ a backup that has none of the traits of the starter?

Have fun out there.
