    If Bell is good to go after his injury scare against the Ravens, I'd be confident in the Steelers offense to get some good points on the board with Juju back. Even better if Vance McDonald can start.

    But dear me that defense (last week) will be plundered. Ravens ran straight through them until the very end. Needs Haden back. Patriots could genuinely score on every drive.

    Could be a high scoring game but can't see the Steelers keeping up.

    Titans @ 49ers
    Patriots @ Steelers
    Cowboys @ Raiders
    Falcons @ Buccaneers

    Chiefs pick is pure hope, brain says chargers, heart says chiefs. Expecting a high scoring affair there.
    Pats Steelers is a big one, just have a feeling the Steelers will get there at home. That offence is looking scary but NE do get some of their players back from injury IIRC.
    Rams Seahawks is obviously massive, think injuries have worn down the Hawks a little and that Rams D-line should cause huge problems for Wilson, issue being he always pulls off crazy s**t in these spots so we'll see.

    There always have a couple of Sat games towards the end of the season when college ball is over. There's another 2 on in week 16 I think

    Ah, delighted to see that the Patriots/Steelers game is on at a decent time. I thought for sure that would be flexed.

    I think I read back when the flexing was being talked about that this was a protected game (by Fox I presume)

    Yup Networks have the ability to argue the point with "Prime Time" games and this game is Fox's Prime Time game this week.

    That was my first time watching with the skycam and I absolutely loved it. my only complaint is that they should be using it for every down instead of switching back and forth. Transformative from a viewing perspective.

    I know it has come in for criticism from some but I would love to have the option of pressing a button and watching all plays from it if possible.

    To each their own, I absolutely hate the angle

    Love the angle myself, think it gives a far better view for both runs and passes.

    Tbh, I still preferred that view to the sideways shot, although not my much. With the sideways shot you can't see any mid-deep receivers, nor any gaps in the o-line. With the skycam you get a much better view of what the QB sees. It's far easier for watching an actual play develop, which you'd think would be a priority for spectating. You can see just how amazing some of the passes are, or how awful they are, like the interception thrown by Brisset vs Denver.

    I genuinely think once people get used to the skycam view the sideways angle won't be used again. There's very few advantages to it. People, however, don't like change, and that will be the skycam's biggest obstacle.

    It's ok in small doses but not for complete games or even complete drives. They also need a wider angle lens

    I didn't know we had saturday night football. Oh that's good.

    Is anyone else getting a show about the colts rather than them game the last couple of mins?

    Got a piece on their drafting of Manning

    You’d be worried for the Bears if this ends with 7 pts

    I'm on the road at the moment so not watching, going through Nashville I was able to listen on the radio but it since disappeared. Have we looked at all decent? Sounds like once again some tarik Cohen magic has been undermined by a holding call...

    Anyway don't worry for us, we're in a place beyond suffering. If you want to get to this place, hire John Fox as your head coach, and you'll achieve resignation/enlightenment in about two years.

    Ye are struggling on offence cause your run game hasn't got going at all & Trubisky is having a hard time. The defence has been equally as bad. Still time to get it going but not looking good for ye.
    Just as I say it Trubisky completes a long pass.
