Huge game this week for my Ravens, really looking forward to it and the banter on here during it should be good too. Game is heightened a bit with both the Ravens and Patriots losing in week 2 and looking to bounce back and of course the AFC game from last season. Hopefully Pollard is back as that would be a big boost to the defense. My prediction in this one is that the Patriots will contain Ray Rice and the run game but the Ravens will get enough pressure on Brady to keep them in 3rd and long situations and give Flacco enough time with the ball to allow him to engineer a win in a close game.

Elsewhere I'm looking forward to seeing if Manning and the Broncos can bounce back against the Texans and the Falcons @ Chargers will be an interesting game too.

My bet for week 3 is: 49ers (-7), Steelers (-4), Jets (-1) which comes in at slightly over 6/1.

Things not looking good for the Giants.

Bradshaw, Nicks, Hixon and Diehl are all def out. Few more are game time decisions including Prince Amukamara. Going to away game on short week if the Giants can pull this one off it will be an excellent win.

Keys will be Eli finding Cruz early and often and big pressure on Martellus Bennett to step up even more. One of Barden, Randle and Jernigan will also need to step up with a few catches.

Ideally it would be perfect time for Tuck and Osi to show up for the 1st time this season as well.

Hate to say it but can't see them pulling it out.

Narrow 3 point win for Cam and his Panthers i'm afraid

I agree, like the Panthers in this game, Giants loss to the Cowboys, then struggled to beat TB, coupled with the injuries and quick turnaround from Sunday.. have to fancy Panthers by 7 pts..

Good games this w/e, especially the 9pm slot, SD/Atl, Den/Hou and the late game Balt/Pats....

Treble is Pitt (-4.5), Atl (+3) & SF (-7)....:rolleyes:

Treble for me is Atlanta, St Louis and San Fran.

What do you like about St Louis on the road can I ask?

I think the Panthers should win tonight. We looked bad enough in the first game against the Bucs who then went onto beat the Giants last week. We looked much better at home on sunday and I'm hoping home field advantage will be key for this one with the short turnaround.

Also I'm delighted that we get to see Cam in prime time this year !

Bucs didn't beat Giants.

I have a feeling I'm going to be on my own tonight.

Ahhhhhh.

Going with the Panthers to win by 3 tonight just cant see NYG gettin the job done especially without Bradshaw and Nicks.

spiralism

reporting in here too. Cmon Cam, big day needed in fantasy

Professional Griefer

I too am here.

Kylo Ren

Andre Brown you beast.

Kylo Ren

Better put on my pants so.

Joekers

Nice run there

Kylo Ren

Get in Bennett!

Trojan

Too easy first drive.

Joekers

Already a better game than the first two midweek games, Manning looking really up for this one

eagle eye

Ugh, rough start for me who is on the under tonight.

barbarians

Fúcks sake why did the Cowboys ever leave Bennett go ? He's a beast so far this year

Overs all the way for me

Well I looked at it that Carolina depend on their running game to leave space open down the field but the Giants DL is pretty beastly without extra help and then you got four starters missing off the Giants offense in Bradshaw, Nicks, Diehl and Hixon.

Knex*

Please don't let it be serious, can't afford to lose Pierre-Paul

eagle eye

The way Brown is going the question is going to be if Bradshaw will get his job back!

It's crazy. Waived 7 times by teams.

spiralism

Carolina arent going to win **** until they revamp that defence. It's not as if they dont have the pieces there either. Beason, Johnson, Kuechly, Godfrey... Maybe Rivera should just go hands on, he knows his stuff on that side of the ball

Joekers

Panthers need to sort their defence out quickly or this will be a rout no matter what Cam Newton can do

Trojan

2nd quarter, 10-nil and 1st and goal. If Giants score on this drive it's starting to look very ominous for Panthers.

Kylo Ren

With the injuries coming into the game I was concerned. Can't believe how well they are playing. The pass protection and run game has been brilliant. A rarity for the Giants!

Onecoolcookie

Giants absolutely rolling, Cam need to get something going on this drive to give the Panthers some hope

Who is playing right tackle? He is doing very well.

Eli is getting all day in the pocket, really impressed by the pass protection.

Unreal. And the D-Line playing well too so far

spiralism

Cam needs to start taking a few shots, that Giants secondary is suspect

Knex*

Great, another injury. Webster with a hand injury.

spiralism

Stop running the ball ffs, you're down 17. Take a few shots!

Joekers

Panthers just cannot get past 3rd down

HigginsJ

welcome to the new NFL season Osi.

Professional Griefer

This could get nasty.

El Horseboxo

What the hell are the panthers at? They look clueless on offense so far. WR's getting free but they're messing about deciding whether Cam or Williams runs the ball. Think they need to look at the scoreboard and let that decide the plays.

if they called better plays they wouldn't be in this mess, stupid plays like swing screens and zone reads are all fine and good when its level but down 17 they need points asap, the giants secondary is banged up and cam has a great arm. this should be more simple.

eagle eye

Wow its Will Beatty at right tackle. He was their left tackle for most of last season until he got injured. They sure have strength in depth.

Exactly, need more passes and less runs, making things overly complicated for themselves

Kylo Ren

Oh hot damn

Danger_dave1

The panthers are only rushing 4 on obvious pass plays...... thats why Eli is getting oodles of time

Joekers

Bit more fluid now from the panthers

Kylo Ren

Yeah budday!

spiralism

Thanks for losing me my matchup already Cam, ****s sake.

Professional Griefer

Deary me
