    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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    Glorious offence on show in Dolphins Rams.

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