The new football thread

[30bandits]

if cleveland goes into pittsburgh and wins monday night, will the talk be more of "whats wrong with the steelers?", or more talk of the browns 2-0 start, first since 1993 ?...i think it will be more of what's wrong with the steelers.

Agree

The Browns have a decent Defense. But they sacrificed their future for a QB that can't throw the ball 50% of the time.

I will still take the Brownies in this game

Lol...see? I am not insane...this could be a win win if the Jets pulled their head out of their ass. But they won't and the deal will disappear once the Vikings win a few.

Two more days...until Zach is in the hospital.

My Vikings suck, can we make this a college football thread?

The fumble at the pylon going to the defense is the worst rule in football. No recovery and you get a turnover? And twenty yards? Beyond wrong and stupid

 

[Radiantcurves87]

I can say now....definitely missed football. Excuse me while I soak in the Eagles 2 wins this week. I am never sure how long it will last.

Just fix the turnovers...7 in 2 games...and they will be OK. They won't win the Division...but they sure as hell can break someone else's heart.

I need to make a decision on the Ravens in Cincinnati. I keep going back and forth. This is a toughie for me. The Bengals are a better team. But seriously...could you look any worse than you did last week?

I think Burrow is injured more than being let on. It is the same shit every year...where is the protection? I think it hurts when he plants his leg to throw. So that is something the Ravens can capitalize on.

On the other side...Ravens lost their RB due to Achilles...sound familiar? He is critical to removing pressure from Jackson having to do it all. Jackson wasn't great last week...but he wasn't bad.

The game is in Cincinnati. Weather won't be horrid...but it could rain...making it harder on Burrows leg. But I have to go with someone...so I will say the kitty goes meow. Be warned...this game has upset written all over it. I can see the Bengals not even making the playoffs if they don't drastically improve quickly.

Bengals win...but I don't think they cover the points.

Lions over Seahawks. They are at home. They can build some momentum. Been a long time coming for their fans.

I am taking the Texans over the Colts. I think this is a winnable game. They are in Houston. Two rookie QBs. But this game is 50:50.

Yep...I am taking Baker Fucking Mayfield again. Buccaneers beat the Bears. The Bears were ugly. They can't fix that in a week. Every year...a team ends up 2-0 and you wonder how? This is the Buccs.

Alright...i am going out on the limb...i am taking the Jaguars over the Chiefs. I know Mahomes is great. I know Reid...i know Kelce is supposed to be back. But Trevor gots some moxey. He wants this game after last year's playoff loss. The Chiefs looked bad. They will improve...but not enough to beat the kid.

Packers over Falcons. Look...this is another really close game. But i think GB has a really strong offensive line...and they can protect Love. As long as the kid doesn't panic...the Packers start 2-0

Bills...at home. This should be a no-brainer. It is against the Raiders. But there are problems in Buffalo. Lots of unhappiness. This game has upset written on it. But I think the Bills hold on to a game that should never be as close as it will be. As long as the Dolphins remain healthy...the best the Bills can do is a Wild Card.

Chargers win over the Titans. It isn't the Titans suck...but they lack leadership.

Those are the early games...I went out on the limb on a couple...but the reality...any team can win any week. So as long as I stay over 0.500 I am happy

Alright...afternoon games

49ers are huge favorites over the Rams. I think they will win...but cover the points? I don't know.

Giants vs Cardinals. Holy cow did the Giants get spanked. All week long...the stats of teams coming back from an 0-2 start. Bleak. But this is against the worst team in the league. I will take the Giants...but this game too has upset written on it.

Jets get destroyed at Dallas. The bet isn't whether Dallas wins. It is whether the Jets can run the ball. If they can't...and they force Wilson to throw...the bet is on whether Wilson will stay out of the hospital. Dak is the most over-rated starter out there. And that will show. I don't think the game will be close except in score. Dallas wins. Dak gets shown as a poser.

I have no faith in Denver. Yes...they are the favorites here...but I am taking Washington. Sorry Bronco fans. Until I see a change...there is no change

Dolphins at Patriots. Man I was impressed with how well the Patriots played last week. But damn...the Dolphins are the best offense in the league as long as everyone is healthy. Tua needs to be careful. These boys can rush. I am taking the fish...but weather up there could be shitty because of the hurricane. Upset alert.


Monday night games

I am taking the Saints over the Pathers. This shouldn't be close...but the Saints can't score points. Still...too much wrong with the Panthers.

Browns will bury the Steelers season. I wish this wasn't true...but the Browns defense is just too good. Of all Divisional matchups out there...this is one of my favorites. Anything can happen

 

[Dribble]

Texans just listed Stroud as questionable. This is the problem with making predictions early. Colts have to be favored now. But I made my selection..
So that's how I play. Damn it

 

[Dribble]

And just when you thought it couldn't get worse for the Jets...their kicker is injured. They tried out several today. Man...you gotta feel bad for the green

I didn't watch it...but the report I just read said their qb got hurt?

 

[TunnelKing089]

Yep don't know how bad yet

 

[TunnelKing089]

Gamecocks up 14-3 on the Dawgs at half.Georgia is a 27 point favorite.

 

[Dribble]

I thought they said this weekend was supposed to be boring? Lol

 

[TunnelKing089]

Damn Alabama has no qb,he's worse than the guy they had in last week.Dawgs back on top though.

 

[TunnelKing089]

I should go to bed but.......I wanna watch Coach Prime a little tonight.

 

[TunnelKing089]

Wow Coach Prime's son INT for a TD 80 yards.

 

[TunnelKing089]

Hmm I don't know the Rams are outplaying Coach Prime's guys,up 7 at half.
