Some good match-ups there, especially the Patriots V Steelers which I'm disappointed isn't being shown on Sky.

Titans have to win against the colts, can't see the Seahawks winning though

FYI with the time change the games are on an hour earlier

Even though I really enjoy watching the Lions play, I'm very surprised (and disappointed) Sky looked past the Steelers vs Pats game.

D3PO

Got a wedding to go to this weekend followed by a celebration on the second day (Sunday) thankfully my Eagles are playing late so hopefully I can sneak off to "bed" about 1am and watch the game form the comfort of my hotel room :D:D

The only reason I can think of not showing that game must be the whole story with Tebow, been his first start at home this season.
Not really much help anyhow in my case, as I don't have Sky sports.

mikemac

Some very good matchups this week

And I'm intrigued by the Redskins in Buffalo, could be a good one
Both teams one game behind their division leader

well i ain't complaining!:D

tis nice to be on telly again

Hopefully joe cool (don't know how he got that nickname, he's anything but cool) will bounce back against an awful defense that even the Vikings with McNabb could score 34 points against... but if he bounces back that means that he will be awful the next week against the Steelers and won't be able to score the 14 requisite points for winning a game against them with our defense.

That_Guy

Colts 0 - 100 Titans

baddebt

bye week for the Bears, so at least for a week I can actually relax and enjoy watching a game ,
watching the Bears this season so far has been so nerve racking (apart from playing minnesota)

Big Daddy Cool

really looking forward to the tv games this weekend, especially the Eagles Cowboys game, hopefully the Eagles will keep soaring high after a nice rest last week

me-skywalker

No Packers this week, gonna watch Saints take aapart the Rams!

Cowboys @ Eagles prob game of the weekend although Patriots @ Steelers isnt bad either.

Fancy the Colts to finally get a win this week & (hopefully) the Lions to be too strong for Tebow Town!

Sunday

Dolphins V Giants (6pm)
Can only see a Giants victory here. The Dolphins will be doing themselves no favours if they win

Jaguars V Texans (6pm)
Probably the Texans here since they are the home team but the Jags will be brimmed with confidence after the upset on MNF.

Colts V Titans (6pm)
Titans here. CJ to get his running game going. More pressure to pile on Caldwell (and rightly so IMO)

Vikings V Panthers (6pm) (Sky Sports 2)
Really looking forward to this one. Hopefully AP isn't injured so we can see both teams going hard. Ponder impressed me a bit last week. Much more interesting game than if McNabb was starting.

Saints V Rams (6pm)
Upset of the Weekend here. Check it out. If not Steve Spagnulo could be in a spot of bother.

Cardinals V Ravens (6pm)
Kevin Kolb Krap. Ravens in a whitewash.

Lions V Broncos (9:05pm) (Sky Sports 2)
Tough one to call here again. Defences seem to have figured out the Lions attack a lot and with Jahvid Best out they have lost a sense of swagger they had beforehand. They should really be 4-3 if it wasn't for Tony Romo. I see them winning but I don't see them going on another Win Streak all season.

Redskins V Bills (9:05pm)
The Toronto Game. Teams are 3-9 coming off a bye week. I see this trend continuing. Redskins victory.

Patriots V Steelers (9:15pm)
Should be a cracker. Tom Brady has their D sussed out whilst Big Ben has quietly been pretty good the last few weeks and could take advantage of the Pats Secondary. Heart says Steelers but head Pats. I'll go with Pats but will be cheering on Pittsburgh.

Browns V 49ers (9:15pm)
49ers here to go 6-1 :eek:
I find the Browns so boring.

Bengals V Seahawks (9:15pm)
The crowd in Seattle to Andy Dalton a hard time here. Should be close enough.

Cowboys V Eagles (01:20am) (Channel 4)
Can't wait for this one. It really is a playoff knockout game. The loser can probably forget playing post season. I'm going to go with the Cowboys on this one with DB88 to have huge game. Oh and Mike Vick to have some sort of injury to be talked about for the next week. Whether its a concussion or a bruised Ego.

Monday

Chargers V Chiefs (01:30am) (ESPN)
I smell another upset here. The Chiefs have been very good since Week 3 and it's good to see the AFC West being contended well.
Rivers (my pick for MVP this season ) has been stinking. Gates is constantly injured, VJAX will be double teamed so the Chargers will need to rely on Matthews (great to watch) and fat arse Micky T to rob his TD's on the 1 yard line. :pac: (The League reference for any watchers of the show)

2 unusual choices for Sky this week. The Steelers/Pats game is the obvious stand out, but if I'm being honest, I'm a bit Steelered and Patrioted-out over the past 4 or 5 years.

Like seeing the Broncos, obviously, and it will be interesting to see that Lions D against Tebow. That said, the Broncos have been a major disappointment every time they have been televised recently, and are out of it for this season already.

Prolly skip the Vikes/Panthers, maybe watch redzone instead.

Sky+ for Cowboys/Eagles and see if I can avoid the result Tueday morning!

Hear hear.

Au contraire buddy, we're in the afc west lol, we're probably not going anywhere but the raiders, chargers and chiefs are hardly the most terrifying teams to have in your division these days.. I wouldnt rule anything in or out in our division til its a mathematic certainty, this is a division that went to the wire last year, had a team go 6-0 in it and finish 3rd (oakland), has its regular winner **** up every playoff appearance or big game without fail, had us blow 3 game leads twice in two years.... i wouldnt count any chickens there just yet, and that's not me saying we're going anywhere this year

great to have another broncos fan around fwiw

It's time.

Looking for my Ravens to hammer the Cards in Baltimore.
After the offenses night of shame in Jacksonville.

However, credit where it's due, the Jags D played great. I certainly underestimated them

And it's the return of Tood Heap who is injured afaik
But a Baltimore legend :cool:

Peyton Manning

Had no idea that both Cam and were on Sky back-to-back today. Awesome

Sunday

Dolphins V Giants
Dolphins' misery continues.

Jaguars V Texans
Texans to take one big I think.

Colts V Titans
Titans win easily but CJ doesn't impress (again)

Vikings V Panthers
Vikings to upset the odds (slightly) here.

Saints V Rams
Brees to have another monster game.

Cardinals V Ravens
Ravens get things back on track after last week's disaster.

Lions V Broncos
Stafford steals the show from Tebow

Patriots V Steelers
Will be a very good game I'd say, Patriots to shade it.

Browns V 49ers
49ers to blow the Browns away and go 6-1

Redskins V Bills
Bills to edge this.

Bengals V Seahawks
Bengals to just about shade this, Seahawks to rattle them though.

Cowboys V Eagles
A must win game for Cowboys or else they can forget about the playoffs. I think they'll win though and make me happy

Monday

Chargers V Chiefs
Chargers to destroy the Chiefs.

mikemac

Cardinals Oline are atrocious

Kolb sacked three times already by three different players, from the left, right and up the middle

Love it

Benny Cake

Anybody have a stream for the ravens v cardinals? I was supposed to in Baltimore today but broke by knee-cap & tibia on Wednesday so couldn't fly, sickened!!

tallaghtoutlaws

That throw by Newton has fully converted me now as a Cam Newton Fan. Unbelievable throw.

mikemac

Baltimore fans have turned into Eagles fans

Flacco and the offense booed off the field after three and outs twice now

Benny Cake

Ya, been reading a bit on some ravens forums this morning and there is very little love for Flacco at the moment, theres a real feeling that he's holding back this ravens offense..

Masked Man

Matt Moore >>>>> Cam Newton

barbarians

Matt Moore on fire in the Giants/Dolphins game.

Dolphins up 11 at the minute.

Benny Cake

F*cking hell, Flacco sacked & fumbled, recovered by the cardinals, disaster :eek:

Stev_o

Cam Newton. Top end guy. A inspiration to what a No 1 pick should be for a team.

Stev_o

Also ill say it for the millionth time Flacco is pants. Has everything needed to be a Pro QB bar the mental ability. Put in Taylor he's a gamer.

If it was still his rookie year he'd be getting credit but the problem is that he hasnt progressed as a player from that at all

Benny Cake

Pass intercepted by Flacco now, cardinals score a TD on the resulting possession, he's having a f*cking mare!!

He just gets scared ****less. Like seriously he's a woman (the arm car warrior's definition of course ) jsut gets too easily spooked. If anything he looks exactly like Christain Ponder does at the moment. Deer in the headlights. Taylor at least has the scrambling ability if there's nothing on you don't want ****ing lumbering Joe moving around.

Masked Man

Not good for the Ravens! Although it might pick up on this drive.

Early games actually kinda good so far. Thought they'd be horrible.

what's the story with the Saints today?... they'll probably still win but they should be killing the Rams, they're terrible

EDIT: 10-0 STL now, what the ****?

Stev_o

Allen is having MVP esque season. How long is he contracted with the Vikings for?

Peyton Manning

How many turnovers today? This is crazy!

Yeah he's been sensational all year. Pity those around him on defense havent followed his example. All Vikings 14 points today basically down to him. I can't remember how long he's contracted but I don't think its up any time soon. His situation is never mentioned as a pressing matter

Peyton Manning

Rams 17-0 :eek:

We have the Saints 1st round pick in 2012 too don't we?

In fairness the OL in front of ponder has been horrific today. He hardly looked like a deer in headlights in his 1st nfl game against the champs last week. In fact, his poise in the pocket has been something that he's been praised for consistently

****ing Colts are the definition of pathetic. Get Caldwell out of there. Sack half the team. Luck will be wasted on that team.

Caldwell is useless. A cardboard cutout of him on the sideline would show more life.

It's frustrating alright. Don't mind the losing, it's the lack of effort at times that is painful.
