Packers @ Falcons - Line is close here. This is more a pick against the Pack although they have very good chance to win but going with the home team.

Raiders @ Bills - Should be my lock of the day but Josh Allen is not dependable of late so not a lock

Ravens @ Bengals - Another tough pick

Seahawks @ Lions - Both these team surprised me last week. I hold Pete Carroll in pretty high regard as a coach

Chargers @ Titans - Chargers bounce back

Bears @ Buccaneers - 2 bad teams. Bears have the worse organization and are on the road

Chiefs @ Jaguars - Bounce back but a tough game for the Chiefs but My Hommies does enough

Colts @ Texans - Who knows, I'll vote for the Texas team

49ers @ Rams - I'll pick the hated Fortywhiners because emotions are stoopid and I go with the right pick !

Giants @ Cardinals - Another bounce back or things will get nasty for Daboll

Jets @ Cowboys - Cowboys win 35-0

Commanders @ Broncos - I wanted to vote NFCE but couldn't make myself. I like the home team here and Sean Payton

Dolphins @ Patriots - Seems weird to pick the phish as they are so historically a shixt show but as long a Tua and Hill are not injured they'll be tough.

Saints @ Panthers - Oh when them Saints go marching in. Taking the road show!

Browns @ Steelers - Another roadie? I guess. Maybe the Brownies are for real. This pick could backfire on me or possibly Pitt is really bad!

Browns beat the Bengals 24-3


The Steelers lost to the 49ers 30-7

Anyway.. I won't argue your pick, because.. Watson didn't really play a good game, but he didn't turn the ball over. Pickett didn't play well AND turned the ball over.

I just went with the idea that Tomlin somehow always manages to not have a losing season, and if he's going to keep that up.. I think this is a must win.

I don't like when I go with my gut or intuition thoughts but I went Steelers because of Tomlin, too. Two of my picks are probably questionable but did it anyway! Go Pack Go!

The 49ers have the best defense in the NFL. They will do that to any team they play. It's not really a fair statement to say the Steelers are terrible. The Browns' defense is nowhere near SFO's.

Eagles were fortunate to win. Should not have been that close.

They ran the ball a lot - but not enough. The long drive where Hurts was sacked twice and they got no points... those should have been run plays to kick a FG to go up 16pts. Instead they get the ball, score, and they were only down 6 pts.

AJ Brown... patience... just keep winning and do your job

Vikings turned the ball over 4 more times. If I'm not mistaken, that's 7 giveaways for them in 2 games.

Hard to win like that. I didn't see anything special from Philly. Other than taking advantage of a poor Minnesota run defense. Hurts was pedestrian.

Minnesota misses Cook something fierce. They have ZERO running game. Honestly, it's the Kirk and Justin show and that's it. To be fair.. Hockenson..

Again, credit to Cousins, who played very well.. But.. They still lost. It's not really fair to pin him with them not winning the big/primetime games. He normally plays quite well in them. But.. How do you overcome a -4 turnover differential?


Anyway.. 1-0 for the week.. Starting off right.. BUT.. this was a big learning game for the future.. We saw an awful lot about both teams. The Vikings are one dimensional and turnover prone.. The Eagles.. I'll be honest, I didn't see anything special. Certainly not a team that looked like they'd get to, much less win the conference championship.

That being said.. It's still early.
