Bucs are awful. Woof.
Usually teams fire their coach when the team has a bye week. Bucs have no bye week this year. Think he survives?

Wow. What a game! Go Hawks!

Beat myself this week. Benched Will Fuller and needed most of those points. Doh!

Lions are just as inept as always.

Why kick the FG to take the lead when you can give up 97yd TD instead.
Poor running game, dropped passes. A stupid OC that doesnt seem to realize you dont have to wait until you are losing to be creative.

This week's picks were:
CAR over TB (-1.5) WON
NE (-7.5) over CAR WON
HOU over SEA (-5.5) WON
PIT (-3.5) over DET WON
and...
ATL (-5.5) over NYJ
KICK THE FRIKKEN EXTRA POINT!!!!!!
Frakken 0.5 point kept me from winning $100! "Hey, lets try to be cute & go for 2 in the driving rain!"
Aholes.
My neighbor bought his ticket the day before & had a 5 point spread so he got a push. Lost on NO though.

You must be betting online? Sport select had Atl -4.5
I had the Jets

Turned out to be the best early game I watched even tho I lost my bet

Welcome to sports betting. Happens a dozen times a season. Every now and then it goes your way and you're searching thru the trash for a ripped up ticket you thought had lost but ending up winning on a fluke play.

It's the provincial lottery corp.
Oh well, maybe next week.

Best game I have seen Russell Wilson play. He has ice in his veins.

Classic Belicheck.
Trades Jimmy G to the Niners for a 2nd round pick.

Russell Wilson is The Man, imagine if he actually had an o-line?

49ers already cut Hoyer, he’s probably going back to Pats

Yeah, that was definitely the best game of his career! Every time he threw it downfield it seemed to go for a huge gain! Same could be said about Watson, those picks were killers however. Now that we traded for their left guard, its lookin pretty good for the hawks.

Seattle running game had 17 carries for 3 yards - "lookin pretty good" seems just a touch on the optimistic side

It will be interesting if he can end the pattern of qbs who were shitty after leaving NE. Worth the gamble for SF I thought since now they can use their early 1st rd pick elsewhere or trade it.

What shitty news. Hou rookie QB Desean Watson tears his acl in practice.

I like watching young breakout stars and he appeared to be the real deal. Afc south just got interesting again.

Man, one less star to cheer for on Sunday

Uff that is lame ass....so impressive.

Huh? I thought you'd find his season ending injury hilarious...

Only inner-division shitbags.

This weeks picks:
LAR (-4) over NYG
CAR (-1.5) over ATL
PHI (-8) over DEN
ARZ (-2.5) over SF
KC (-1) over DAL

Fantasy alert !!!
RB Leonard Fournette out today for breaking team rules

Ahhh...stay Classy Cinci!

How bout them cowboys! Well, until that last play beforr half-time. Wont matter anyways if the eagles keep rolling like they are.

Congrats to the New Orleans Saints.
Saints became 3rd team in Super Bowl era to win 6 straight games after an 0-2 start.
The other 2 teams to do it went on to win the Super Bowl (93 Cowboys & 2007 Giants).

To me, their div win in wk 3 over NFC South Panthers in Carolina to break the losing streak at the start of the season was huge for the Saints.

Rogers getting injured for the Packers seems to have changed the whole NFC picture for this season.
A legal tackle, but you could tell the Vikings defender made sure to squash Rogers with all his weight on that injury play.
It will be interesting to see if the Packers can pull out a win at home on Mon night against the Lions. (Lions are favored by 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 points).
If the Lions lose, then they will be hanging out in the bottom of the NFC North with da Bears.

I agree the NFC is different without Aaron Rodgers playing! Who would of guessed the Vikes and Eagles leading their division's!? Saints too..crazy!

I didn't see the game, just the choke and punches. What's the deal with aj green? Looked like he flipped his lid over a minor shove?

Vikings are doing it with their backup QB why can't the Pack?

Glad to see the Hawks lose. They seem to play ugly football every weekend and always pull out a win somehow... not today!

I’m sure it was more than just what happened on the field. He’s fed up with the organization I’m sure. When the most leveled headed dude in the league does that, it’s not because of the guy messing with him.

That long on a dumpster fire team will do it to anyone.

Jalen Ramsey is one of the biggest trash talkers in the league. He doesn't usually wear his mouth guard so he can talk. That wasn't the first time he pushed Green after the play was over. I guess that, and the fact that he played excellent coverage on Green, was enough to make him snap.

Kelce with the potato sack race after the TD has my vote for worst celebration this year.

Yeah, that was stupid.
Friggen KC. At least I was good for most of the afternoon.

I think famous Jameis's pregame speech trumps them all in worst everything. Licking his fingers and asking guys who wants to eat a w? Wtf?? Lol.
Half the guys around him are thinking the same thing. Like really dude?

I’m still a lil disappointed w my chefs yesterday..but give credit to the boys..Hunt wasn’t spectacular by any means, the D couldn’t stop the run. Smith was average..sitting at 6-3 is good right now, glad the rest of the afc west is (insert Namaths drunk voice) strruugllin..

Packs got no defence.. ask Rogers about the vikes D!

Yes I know, my point is that the Pack relies way too much on one guy. They have nothing else and when he's gone they're gone.

Yes they do!! And in their defense...rogers is a stud! They will have to change the playbook up to better suit Hundley.. he looked much better coming out of the no huddle than when they slowed it down. Who would of guessed the Vikes woukd look so good with a 3rd stringer in there!? Im picking them to win the north

Check the schedule. Lions have easiest schedule and will win the north.

Vikings have the brutal 3 in a row also. Doubt they even make the playoffs.

Can we all agree that Jameis's eating W's was the worst pregame speech ever?

Wow, that was lame. Watching other team mates standing around him thinking to themselves: Bro, that's lame.

On a good note as a result of watching that, on the right side of the screen was a vid called something like "best football trick plays ever".
I love those plays, and wish we would see creative plays being called more often, both in pro and college.

Good stuff, although the reel ends with Sanchez’s “butt fumble,” which is only a trick play if the “trick” is sucking at football.

I was watching KC game until the sack race celebration, turned off the TV after that.
I am planning on boycotting games on veterans day/weekend, just my own personal preference. maybe watch a stooges marathon instead.

Go Jaguarz
Roarz
LOL!

Hmmm, let's review mid-term grades.
5 and 3 record, tied for 1st in the AFC South div -- check
2 and 1 div record, 5 and 2 conf record -- check
+ 89 points scoring differential thus far -- check
Favored by 4 points at home over the Chargers this coming Sunday -- check
The Jags have a running back named Leonard Fournette who is ready to open up a can of whoop-ass! -- check
Easy friggin schedule the rest of the season, (except for the Seahawks game) -- check

I'd say it looks like Jags are gonna make the play-offs.

They're gonna have to sneak past Tennessee's weird gimmick offense sometimes capable of scoring in the double digits.

Saints are my pick for most sneaky good team at the midpoint. Could see them deep in the playoffs.

Yes, it's too early to tell which team will win the AFC South division.
I had noticed that the Titans remaining schedule also looks pretty easy, except for at Steelers Thur Nov 16th.
That's why I worded it as: make the playoffs. Sees like the Jags could make the playoffs as a div champ or as a wildcard team.
Same applies to the Titans. They realistically could make it to the play-offs as div champ or wildcard team.

Erik,
Are you saying that Titans defense and special teams have been scoring significant points and/or getting Titans good field position often to help make the offense look good this year when looking at end of game scores?
.

Somehow the Titans are at 5 and 3, but with a -12 scoring differential thus far. That's not usually how those numbers pan out.

Titans are favored by 4-1/2 to 5 points over the Bungles at home this Sunday.
Seems like if the Bengals lose this Sunday, then I'd say they are out of the play-off chase.
They (the Bengals) basically would then need to win out the rest of the season, and their remaining schedule includes at least 3 tough games.
Bengals are 1 and 2 in their AFC North Div, so they would need to win their remaining 3 div games.
Just shows how important this upcoming game against the Titans is to the 3 and 5 Bengals.

Other than the debacle in Houston the def/st look ok which is an improvement from last year. The offense borders on unwatchable.

I think they'll manage a low scoring win this week then take a spanking on Thursday.

I have to go with the Saints as well for the NFC South. They have 2 really running backs and a strong defense for the first time in a while. Oh, and they still have Dree Brees.

Seahawks Thursday unis are bold

And if they're going to keep with the custom Thursday uni thing they should also go with custom helmet colors. Cards look ridiculous with white.
