Eagles wearing all black at home for the first time in their history, which is mildly interesting.

Well they're not wearing green because they're not ready yet, Nike are still making them - so they've worn white every week up to now. For whatever reason, they have just decided to wear all black this week.

To force the Giants to wear white? Or is black just a third kit?

paulie21

Black is their third jersey. They have wore it a few times over the years, I even think they wore it against the Redskins this year

Lionbacker

Lions go into this week having signed Matt Prater, the third kicker this year, after having gone through 1980-2012 with just 2 kickers.

It's hard to say Goodbye to the good uns. This guy is still the best in the league

adrian522

He had a bit of wobble in pre season and week 1, but since the new sod was laid he's been pretty much perfect.

Do kickers get good money, i mean how hard can it be, shur they only have to kick it a few yards;)

adrian522

In comparison to some other players - No
In comparison to the general population - Yes, very good money.

If it was that easy there would be a lot less missed FG's and kickers would never get released.

Top Kickers almost make more than half the RBs in the league.

Mason Crosby contract, and he's had his wobbles...

Judging by the house the Falcons kicker had on Hard Knocks they earn quite the tidy sum it seems

Few tough ones this week, but should be a great set of games to watch.

I actually somewhat fancy the Texans tonight, for whatever reason, but its hard to bet against Luck and co in this form. The hype here in Austin for both Texas teams is insane at the moment!

I was going to go with the Texans for tonight's game myself. But I stuck with the inform Colts. But a Texans win wouldn't surprise me.

I'll come back to that NFC East match with Big Blue and the Eagles

taidghbaby

Is JJ Watt more important to his team than Andrew Luck! JJ watts team won two games last year!

NFL network clowns

Hulk Hands

Ive just had NFL Network on for the past 2 hours while I did other stuff. Christ its horrible bad. They've basically had 6 former players spend 2 hrs telling us repeatedly that Andrew Luck is good and JJ Watt is good

me89

Great onside kick

Hulk Hands

That was brilliant

That has to be the handiest onside kick recovery I've ever seen. Normally it's absolute mayhem.

me89

Amazing. What was the defender doing??

UnitedIrishman

My days the Texans just aren't awake at all so far. What was the DB doing.

kmart6

Jackson has got away with that!

spiritcrusher

Cripes, one of the supposed best defences in the league getting caught out big time.

Billy86

Ah feck, forgot to pick the Colts for this one in time!

I do wonder if McAfee has been given some free reign on kickoff though. Probably not, he is at this stage one of their longest serving players and it really did seem like he was the only player aware that an onside kick was happening kn either team, and he had so much of the field open ahead of him that it makes me wonder.

taidghbaby

Seriously Texans! Luck was going long to Hilton all day long on that play!

taidghbaby

Also I don't think Swearinger is a very smart player!

kmart6

JJ it's 17-0 after 8 minutes, ease up on the celebrating!

Billy86

Welcome to another episode of Thursday Night Walkover.

And I went with Fitzpatrick to get 229+ yards instead of Luck because I felt 304+ yards was too high to be betting on. He's half way there one eight of the way through the game...

Moist Bread

Colts often let teams back into games. This one is far from over.

Billy86

Did they just say the Bears beat the Colts in the 2009 superbowl?

This game will be over before the end of the first quarter, by the way.

UnitedIrishman

The Texans are forfeiting here.. It's an interesting tactic.. let's see if it pays off for them.

Seriously though, they're all still in the dressing room bar JJ. Colts have realised they needed to get out in front early and stop any potential momentum.

taidghbaby

Colts defensive strategy against the AFC South: blitz!

Kylo Ren

Should we all just turn this off and get some sleep?

spiritcrusher

Well Texans D hasn't shown up tonight at all and I'm fairly sure they don't actually have an offense...

kmart6

Just ridiculous!

No 1st Q TD's against them since last December and 3 tonight!!!!
