Lol we have all picked identical teams for the 1pm games

Hmm. I was expecting at least a couple differences.

Texans are absolutely horrible, but I love it. I would find it hilarious if they have the worst record but my Phins get their #1 Pick. I don't think that has ever happened before - trading a future First that turned out to be the #1 Pick - but now I want it to. lol

Well if the Eagles win tonight they'll be in first place with a 1-2-1 record.

Worst. Division. Ever. lol

Alright, I found a website where you can put the winners of each game for the rest of the season and it'll spit out the results for ya. My predictions just going off who I think should win each game:

AFCN:
BAL - 15-1
PIT - 13-3
CLE - 11-5
CIN - 4-11-1

AFCS:
TEN - 13-3
IND - 8-8
JAX - 4-12
HOU - 2-14

AFCE:
BUF - 12-4
NE - 11-5
MIA - 4-12
NYJ - 0-16

AFCW
KC - 16-0
LV - 9-7
LAC - 9-7
DEN - 1-15

NFCN:
GB - 15-1
MIN - 6-10
CHI - 6-10
DET - 5-11

NFCS:
TB - 13-3
NO - 12-4
ATL - 5-11
CAR - 4-12

NFCE:
DAL - 9-7
PHI - 3-12-1
WAS - 2-14
NYG - 1-15

NFCW:
SEA - 15-1
SF - 10-6
LAR - 9-7
AZ - 8-8

Which would make the wildcard matchups:
AFC:
(5)PIT @ (4)BUF
(6)NE @ (3)TEN
(7)CLE @ (2)BAL

NFC:
(5)NO @ (4)DAL
(6)SF @ (3)TB
(7)LAR @ (2)SEA

This gives KC and GB a first round bye.

I know the standings are a little top and bottom heavy, and some of the teams I have winning 0-2 games will likely win 3 or 4. This also assumes that SF beats PHI in tonight's game, but this result in particular wouldn't affect the seeding.

I think the standings could look a bit different but I wouldn't be surprised if the wild card round shakes out something like this.

Dallas are a joke. Poor Dak. He threw for 5TDs and 500 yards, scoring 38 points, and they still lost. They should be 0-4 if not for horrible Atlanta choking. Cleveland lead 7-0, Dallas lead 14-7, Cleveland lead 41-14, Dallas got back to 38-41, and then Cleveland won 49-38.

Dak has proven that he deserves a big contract. I was wrong about him. With a capable defense, Dallas would be 4-0.

Beathard is in at QB for Mullens, who just threw a pick-6. Beathard looks good. Am watching it.

Wow. 7/7 for 62 yards.

Philly win 25-20. But we should be in overtime right now. Beathard lead them to a TD, and then Kittle dropped an easy 2XP. Then Beathard lead them from their own 5-yard line up into FG range. The hail-mary was fumbled among SF players.

Mike: We all did that website before the season. lol

Matt: Beathard gave them a chance. Kittle kinda knocked the hail mary out of his teammates hands. Beathard deserves a shot if Jimmy is still hurt next week.

Well, if Garoppolo is still injured, there is a 100% chance that Beathard starts.

In half a quarter, Beathard passed at 14/19 for 138 yards, and a ruled-out TD.

I would have to imagine he would be. High Ankle Sprains usually take 4-6 weeks to recover from. However, I wouldn't put it past him to try to push for a start against Miami. No one is sold on Jimmy G being a franchise signal caller at this point, and he might be a little threatened by Beathard. Pretty sure Beathard could handle the Phins, could probably be competitive against the Rams as well if their defense holds up their end of the bargain. Their schedule gets crazy after that, don't know if they can sustain with any of them at QB with how many injuries they have had.

I didn't realise it was a bad injury. What I initially read was that he was an outside chance to play against NY Giants, and that he'd surely be back for Philly. But if they've got Miami, they're better off resting him again.

I was surprised that we stayed competitive with Seattle. I thought it would be a 41-17 scoreline or something like that. If Garoppolo doesn't play, there's a sneaky chance at an upset.

Injuries usually are the same timeframe despite position, but QBs can usually come back quicker from ankle sprains. Christian McCaffery had the same injury in the same week, and he will be out between 4-6 weeks. We will see.

I knew the Phins would be competitive. Just one of those games. Currently 4-0 picking them this year. Two years ago, as you may remember, I went 15-1 picking Phins Games.

I'm beginning to wonder if Josh Allen and the Bills are for real. I know they have a top defence, I honestly thought the Raiders would beat them.

Dallas getting beat again made me laugh, even more so with Dak Prescott throwing for 500 yards and 5 TDs. They are elite quarterback stats by any standard.

Redskins will get rid of Haskins at the end of the year. Trevor Lawrence will probably be the 1st player chosen in the draft and the Redskins look like they have a shot at getting the first pick. Lawrence has been advised if the Jets get first pick to stay in college for another year or have his career ruined like Sam Darnold.

Can anyone beat Kansas City? They have won 9 straight. The record is 23 in case you are wondering, held by Peyton Manning's Colts.

I had the Raiders winning originally, but I switched when I saw the injury report. I'm not sold just yet on the Bills. They only beat the Jets by 10, the Phins by 3, the Rams by 3, and the Raiders by 7 - not that impressive. The next two weeks will be a good indicator for them, as they have to play both the Corona Titans and the Chiefs.

The Cowboys have no defense. They can score on offense, but clearly not enough to get the job done.

The Redskins may have hurt their chance at the #1 Pick by winning in Week 1. It's hard to see the Jets or Giants winning at all at this point after the injuries both have sustained. Lawrence will be the pick whomever the team happens to be, unless something extremely crazy happens.

Someone will beat the Chiefs at some point. They have to played the Bills, Bucs and the Saints on the road this year.

I remember a while ago when I did Buffalo's W-L for this season. I had them on a big winning streak to start, but then crawl their way to a mediocre 9-7 record. It's the Buffalo way.

Houston have fired O'Brien 2 years too late.

If Cam Newton was playing right now, NE would be destroying KC. Score is 6-3 KC deep in the 3rd quarter, with Hoyer at QB.

At least he gave us two 1sts for Tunsil. XD

About time for the BoB firing. Strange to let them go a whole offseason and 4 games, and also to let him name himself the playcaller hours before firing, but whatever. The Jets need to follow suit.

Gase will be kept for at least one more week. I can't say the same for the Falcons Coach at this point.

Unless someone takes a true upset, I don't see much separation again this week. Pretty sure all four of us will have 90%+ of the same picks.

Just the 1 upset pick for me. I was tempted by another too, but took the safe option.

How has Gase survived this week?

I think I went one or two. Nothing too big this week.

He probably wasn't fired since the Jets have like 1/3 of their roster injured. lol

Haskins not only benched, but now the #3 QB for Washington. Wow.

After having no positive cases in a few days, two more Titans have Covid. What are these guys doing? Your team just had to have a bye week early because of stupidity, and now that the issue is basically resolved, you're going to go and mess it all up?

A Patriots player now also has Covid. All tests were negative through paying the Chiefs, and now two days removed, he tested positive. We all know what he did after the game. -_-
