NFL - Discussion Thread

Without a doubt the AFC West is the best division in football. Like you say the Cowboys will do what Dallas always does which is to start off fast and then nose dive as the season ends. Giants will prove to be mediocre at seasons end, and the Eagles are good but not as good as their 5-0 record would suggest, they are his year's Arizona Cardinals.

I think the Buffalo Bills are serious about winning a Super Bowl this year, they have made inquires to get Christian McCaffrey from the Panthers.

Just made my picks. Two upsets at the moment. Could change based on injury reports. There were two or three games that I seriously struggled with.

I have three upsets, like you I am struggling with a couple of games.

I'd hate to be a professional gambler who makes a living out of picking NFL games. On paper it looks straight forward but come Sunday there's always four or five upsets.

I'm struggling big time with Jacksonville against Indianapolis. I think I'm going to take the team with the better offensive line. The other team's quarterback gets sacked too much and should be thinking about retiring.

Miami is having to start their 3rd Stringer again. Crud.

Tua will begin practicing again, but it sounds like he will play next week at the earliest. The Phins are hopeful that Bridgewater will be able to suit up, but they said he would only be the backup.

Makes me wonder why the Phins didn't add another QB. I bet Jimmy G would've been in play if Lance didn't get hurt a few weeks back. CJ Beathard also has a rapport with McDaniel, but I guess the Jaguars love him as their backup.

2 upsets for me as well. Pretty conservative week for me, but some tough choices in there.

I'm pretty low on the Giants. They're flying high on a new coach, they'll come back to earth soon. Agreed with pretty much everything you've said there at the top Dennis. Philly has a legit shot at the 1 seed in the NFC but are by no means unbeatable.

If there is a week to catch up to me, I am guessing it is this one.

Could be rough.

Lol, I bet we all have the same upset games Warrior13.

I'd like to pick Miami over the Vikings but with a third string quarterback playing that is not happening. All he is doing is handing the ball to the running back and a couple of short dump off passes upfield.

The game I'm struggling with is Dallas at Philadelphia. The last time the two teams played which was only January this year the Cowboys pounded the Eagles 51-26. My head tells me the Eagles will get the job done but something tells me the Cowboys have the Eagles number. This is the type of game where Cooper Rush will throw 3 Touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb and become an overnight sensation. Am I brave enough to go with the upset...

Man, I feel bad for Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstriet. Having to call to straight stinkers of TNF. Bleh. Hope Amazon likes paying for that. lol

Not sure how I was on the right side of that one, but I will take it. I am sure Matt feels the same.

I only saw the highlights, Justin Fields was the best player on the field so that doesn't say much for everyone else, he looks like a poor clone of Michael Vick.

Wentz only threw for 99 yards, I'm sure that guy is regressing by the game, although to be fair the blockers in front are not blocking. Wentz literally has two seconds to throw the ball.

I don't think I've seen a tighter finish than that though. The guy caught the ball in the endzone on 4th down and bobled it and once he had control he was outside of the endzone. Good call by the ref and good defending by St Juice.

Yeah, Wentz was horrible. I get Washington was banged up, but, geez, 99 passing yards? I thought for sure that they were gonna sub in Hienecke.

After the comment Rivera made at the press conference when he was asked what the problem was, and he replied 'quarterback' everyone has been on his back saying he shouldn't have thrown Wentz under the bus like that. He can't bench Wentz now even if he wanted to.

I'm just hoping Washington stops playing Wentz so they keep their second round draft pick and start with Sam Howell with Hienecke as backup. Then in next years draft pick up either Levis or Stroud, but the experts predict it will be Peter Skoronsk an offensive lineman.

Kinda dumb if they play Wentz and lose a pick in a lost season. It'd be a different case if Wentz was dominating.

Sucks for Amazon, I saw a stat showing that theyre paying $80M per TNF game over the lifetime of this contract. I don't even bother tuning into these games 90% of the time.

Yeah, I have not watched any of the TNF games this year. Already paying for RedZone, do not need another bill (especially for crummy games). lol

This is too convenient, Wentz has a fractured hand and will be out for six weeks. Heinecke is starting next week. This basically means Washington keeps their second round draft pick. But why did Washington send Wentz to a hand specialist in Los Angeles? Surely there's one on the east coast he could have seen. I find that strange...

Just be glad you keep the draft pick. Great QB Class, might need extra picks to trade up and nab your guy.

Wow. We all picked the same early games except for one.

I know, it's the start of the fourth quarter and we are all losing on those seven games... Terrible week, how could all four of us got it so wrong?

These bird teams are killing me. Falcons where supposed to be a three win team. Lamar loses two out of last three off a late pick. Cardinals rather turnover on downs than kick field goals. WTF?!??

The birds giving me the bird. lol

You're still killing us Warrior13, you are pulling away at a rate of one game a week. This could be the most lob sided victory in SuperCheats NFL tournament history. I'd be curious to see how your record compares to a professional tipster.

Should have guessed the Patriots were going to lose when I saw Robert Krafts wedding and Tom Brady there alone. If the guy has any sense he'll permanently retire and spend time with his family before he doesn't have a family to go back to.

I bet Aaron Rogers wishes he had gone to Denver now.

From what we've seen from Denver, I'm not sure that's a much better situation than Green Bay. Some crazy games. Almost every game seems like a toss up these days.
