NFC East on SNF, presumably for comedy value at this stage.

Bonkers that they choose that game for SNF, and Ravens vs Steelers is on the early slot

conor222

72 - 33 coming in

Pitt Baltimore is a belter of a game, should be a must watch
Raiders Browns looks good too, probably sorting out wildcard seeds
Interested to see Tua for the dolphins, at home off a bye, could be an upset

America's team are playing though.

Regardless, it'll be for the ratings. That's all that matters. It will be pants though. Hopefully the Eagles do 'em.

Steelers-Ravens is the must watch in the early slot. Can't imagine many going to Redzone this week...

Lots of potential for some sneaky good games this weekend. I'd like to include Pats vs Bills, but...:(

In a fit of hubris I called TNF, SNF and MNF trash in the Whatsapp group, so they're gonna be great.

The election coverage is taking over next week so thankfully MNF is definitely going to be crap. It has to be, right?

My "poor" Pats supporting mate in the group: "Pats vs Bills is a big un too"

Sure it is buddy, sure it is.

About time ye all felt normality.

I’d prefer that the eagles weren’t on SNF either because of the time but the games are set in advance.

Not purposely step on your toes, but didn't you get 11-3 last week. Cowboys, Falcons and Seahawks were wrong, looking back on last weeks predictions.

Anyway, onto my own picks. 69-36 coming into this week.

Two NFC East teams playing each other could be close and therefore at least watchable. Broncos v Jets was ok...

Buccaneers handing the Giants a hammering is not.

Re NFC East, if the Cowboys weren't such dirt then perhaps, and I'm sure when scheduled it is normally an obvious one to put on Prime Time. If they got such a spanking from Football Team they're probably gonna get a similar going over from the Eagles.

It might be watchable only for the fact that the Cowboys getting done is always fun and the Eagles don't have any idea, like the Seahawks, of being able to have a boring game.

Cheers, edited my post. Brain fart with the seahawks

My Ravens playing the Steelers

Best matchup in the NFL

paulie21

Lamar throws a pick 6

Beautiful from Lamar. Miles Boykin has all potential to be a stud.

Oat23

I love the surprise in Scott Hansen's voice as he tells us the Jets have managed to reach the redzone.

el Fenomeno

Oh dear, looks like a bad injury for newly minted Ronnie Stanley.

Looked bad, hopefully it’s nothing too serious but you’d have to fear for him the way he went down.

Itssoeasy

Some interesting scores and 7-7 seems to be the score line of the day. That injury in Baltimore looked bad and you’re not ponding the ground if you’re not in pain.

Tua has had an interesting start to his nfl career as a starter. The packers look good. I hate when the eagles are playing on SNF or MNF.

#11 on the Rams could 100% have Metcalf'd that Dolphins fumble return but he was jogging for the final 30 yards or so.

TheDoctor

Glorious offence on show in Dolphins Rams.

One interception, two fumbles recovered by defence, and a strip sack for a TD

Guess who started Geoff in fantasy this week.... Two picks now

TheDoctor

The Rams with 4 turnovers so far this half

TheDoctor

Miami with 56 yards of offence so far....

4 TDs

Kev8360

some crazy weather in Cleveland -howling gales and hail stones. one for the purists with only 106yds passing in the 1st half.

raze_them_all_

It must be so horrifying to be a defensive player being drafted to greenbay. Its where defensive talent goes to die.

Itssoeasy

I don’t know what others think but this weeks red zone isn’t as good as last weeks.

Weather is playing a big part in that.

Itssoeasy

The bills need to stop the pats to a FG at worst.

Itssoeasy

Fumble by cam and the bills will finally end the streak against the pats.

thomond2006

Wow Cam Newton fumbles.

Agreed

Itssoeasy

I’m debating whether to continue with redzone for the late games or switch to the chargers vs broncos game.

Itssoeasy

Switched to the chargers vs broncos game.

Itssoeasy

The last TD by the chargers is why I like Justin Herbert as a QB. He’s not easily distracted and is willing to take a hit now and then.

Itssoeasy

That DPI call against the bears was weak as water. There was barely contact.

thomond2006

Wims. Good lord.

Masked Man

Wtf is that from Wims?

Masked Man

At least he seemed happy with himself afterwards.

Oat23

What a moron.

phatkev

woah, what the feck is #83 for the Bears thinking
