The one week we wish there wasn't Thursday Night Football? Tomorrow because nobody wants to see the NFC Least in primetime. On to the Sunday Games, perhaps a battle for the 1 seed between two 5-0 teams in the Titans and Steelers. Also the NFC West is up for grabs as the Cardinals host the Seahawks. Um.... and.... every other game is just meh lol.

Giants @ Eagles: The Dallas Cowboys lead the division at 2-4, the winner of this game Thursday Night will be tied for the division lead pending the results of Dallas & Washington on Sunday. The Giants got their first win of the season under Joe Judge last week and the Eagles injury woes continue as they will be without Tight End Zach Ertz, RB Miles Sanders and Alshon Jeffery. They will get back OT Lane Johnson and WR DeSean Jackson.

Cowboys @ Washington: Someone has to win this division and that team also has to be let into the playoffs via winning said division. Dallas heads to Washington with players starting to speak out against the coaching staff, and at 2-4 everything seems to be falling in Jerry's World. Washington meanwhile is the same old dysfunctional franchise they have always been, Ron Rivera isn't going to change that.

Browns @ Bengals: The Browns had their moment last week, their opportunity to say ENOUGH! We are not the same old Browns.... and they blew it big time. The Steelers came out and dominated Cleveland, even getting Baker Mayfield benched which seemed to do more with his rib injury. Still at 4-2, they find themselves fighting for a playoff spot, while the Bengals are just taking their lumps with Joe Burrow. Will Cleveland be bringing out the brooms for a sweep of the Bengals on Sunday?

Panthers @ Saints: The Saints seem to be their normal selves as they got off to their traditional slow start, sit 3-2 and now face their former QB Teddy Bridgewater and the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have to be one of the surprise teams this season as many didn't think much of Teddy and Carolina was going to be in the running for Trevor Lawrence. Instead they find themselves 3-3 and in the middle of the playoff hunt, can the Panthers topple New Orleans and get a huge road win on Sunday?

Bills @ Jets: While everyone had eyes on Carolina and Jacksonville for the number one pick, the New York Jets were determined to not let them get the first overall pick that easily. As the remaining winless team left in the league, the Jets continue to tread along and give their fans hope that Trevor Lawrence will be waiting come April. Bills with an easy rebound here following two straight losses.

Lions @ Falcons: Jim Caldwell got fired despite making the playoffs twice and having a 36-28 coaching record as Head Coach. Matt Patricia has a 11-25-1 record since taking over the Lions and trying to teach them the Patriot Way. Perhaps a loss to the 1-5 Falcons who may have new life after firing Dan Quinn would be enough to send him packing. If Atlanta can do what they did against the Vikings, they could turn it around and fight for a playoff spot. In the process, give Lions fans an early Christmas present.

Packers @ Texans: In the offseason, this game looked to be a good one. Two teams facing off with playoff aspirations yet one of these teams are 1-5 and the other is 4-1. The Quarterback Duel between Aaron Rodgers & Deshaun Watson should be fun to watch on Sunday.

Titans @ Steelers: A battle of the undefeated as a pair of 5-0 teams face off in the Steel City as the Titans take on the Steelers. The Titans have continued their momentum from last season as Derrick Henry continues to do Derrick Henry things and Ryan Tannehill is playing well enough to win. Pittsburgh just lost Devin Bush for the year which will make things easier on Henry in the run game. Which undefeated team will remain undefeated following Sunday?

Seahawks @ Cardinals: FOUR! I repeat we have FOUR 4:00PM games to watch, oh how the NFL blessed us this week. The Cardinals are riding high coming off a huge road win in the Big D and now with Division Title implications look to hand Russell Wilson and the Seahawks their first loss of the season.

Chiefs @ Broncos: The Broncos won last week against the Patriots but this week they get the defending Super Bowl Champions who made his first NFL start in a week 17 game in Denver in 2018. Does Denver have another upset in them after winning in New England last week?

49ers @ Patriots: Jimmy G vs Tom Brady was the story to be told here until Tom decided to retire in Tampa, and Cam Newton was a bargain bin signing for the Patriots. The 49ers sit 3-3 and look to get back on track with their second straight win as Jimmy G returns to New England. Can Cam get the Pats back on track or has Belichick finally met his match in a Quarterback he can not win with?

Jaguars @ Chargers: The Chargers have lost four straight heading into this game and seem primed to snap that streak against the lowly Jaguars who turned out to be who we thought they were. Minshew Mania seems dead, while Justin Herbert is picking up momentum as we head to the half way point of the season. Can the Chargers get back on track or will Minshew Mania rise again?

Bucs @ Raiders: Over/Under how many times we we see or hear about the tuck rule? Tom Brady and the Bucs head to sin city to take on the Las Vegas Raiders as Brady continues his tour of playing teams who he had a history with in New England. The Raiders sent their whole offensive line home after one of their lineman was with someone who tested positive. Will they be ready to hold back a Bucs defense that sacked Aaron Rodgers five times and leads the league in sacks?

Bears @ Rams: Monday Night Football heads to the bright lights of Los Angeles where the 5-1 Chicago Bears led by Nick Foles look to keep the spotlight on them after seven weeks. They find themselves leading the division following Green Bay's loss to Tampa and need to keep winning in order to stay there. The Rams are 4-2 and in the midst of the playoff picture in a very competitive NFC West but they need to prove they can beat other teams that don't reside in the NFC East.

Due to a Raider OL testing positive, NFL moved Bucs/Raiders out of SNF to the 4:05pm Slot. Instead, Seattle vs Arizona will move into SNF.

If we can incorporate a tad (not much) bit more end-arounds and/or jet sweeps with Hollywood and/or Duv just like these impostor black birds just did with D-Jax, it can help open our offense. At the very least, keep their defense honest.

Titans might have to forfeit draft picks because they broke covid protocols again. Can anybody tell me what actually happened there? I've completely missed the 2nd story.

Adam Gase gave up play calling and the Jets are doing something lol. Darnold is 8/9 for 80 yards so far.

Jets fans going to riot if they somehow win this game lol.

We are not at the Steelers level right now . Maybe they will peak early this year but I don’t expect to beat them next week.
the only part of their team that scares me is their interior D line considering our troubles on the line. We have the athletes in our secondary to matchup with their receivers. The winner will be determined by the run game and ST imo.

We don’t have much of a run game.
