If the Patriots were playing the Taliban, I’d root for the Taliban.

 

Just kidding, kind of.

Coach McDermott, is that you?

I think Steelers win that one. 

 

Be interested to see the Jets with Tyrod starting. You have to think Baker will do a number on them.

 

Also interested in Viking/Bengals. Cincy missing Burrow but how will the Vikes do with Wentz (!!!) at QB. I have a sneaking feeling their offense will look more like it did under Darnold but who knows.

 

Eagles Rams should be good. I'm predicting the Rams defeat the champs.

 

Then we'll see if the Chargers can sustain their great start.

 

And of course, can the Giants beat the Chiefs. I hope that D line plays out of its skin and beats the living s*** out of Mahomes. KC fans think it'll be a walk in the park but I'd laugh my lunch up if they lost. A loss in OT would be wonderful. 

I am waiting wondering how minn looks with Went as well

Tampa Bay has some significant injuries, especially on offense. Still, I hope they can beat the Jets because I get great joy from their fanbase lamenting "Same Old Jets."

And the Patriots are? They lost at home to the Raiders. The loser of this game is on their way to a long season. I’m not convinced that either team is better than the other.

From the Bills perspective, we have to assume they'll win the AFCE no matter what the other three teams do.  If the Bills can't win the weak AFCE they're not going to the SB anyway, and realistically that would mean Josh Allen was injured.  So disregard the Pats as a threat and look at all the other potential threats elsewhere in the AFC.  What I want is the Steelers thinking they have a chance to win the division when they play the Ravens, twice.  I don't think the Bills are going to run the table so it's important that Baltimore lose a few more games.  This is where the Steelers come into play.  But at the same time the Steelers aren't really good so if theydo manage to slip into the playoffs they won't pose a threat.

Not sure who wins but want the Steelers. Then do us a solid and beat the Ravens and Bengals at least once.  After that they can lose the rest.

I think the Jets get their first W against the banged up Bucs. Quidshon Judkins will establish himself as the Browns #1 RB but I can't bring myself to put $ on Cleveland 

[gomper]

Rams/Eagles obviously.

 

This is a day for the RedZone. A few commercials and all.

The only teams the Jets have a chance against the dolphins and the panthers. That team is very bad 

 

Also, the Jets and Dolphins is a MNF game. The NFL hate us

The Jets have been so terrible for so long that it’s actually depressing. They have 1 SB from 65 years ago and have been fluctuating from garbage to mediocre ever since.

The Patriots won by 6 at Miami. We won by 10 at home against Miami.

 

We killed the Jets. The Steelers squeaked by the Jets.

 

Explain?

Nothing suggests the Patriots are a good team either.  
 

It is going to come down to mistakes.  
 

The Pats barely beat the Dolphins and the Steelers barely beat the Jets.

 

They also both lost to bad middling teams.  It makes me sick to hope the Steelers win this game.

The Pats beat the Dolphins by 6 in Miami. We beat the Dolphins at home by 10. Is there any difference there?

 

We smoked the Jets. The Steelers squeaked by the Jets. 
 

Logic suggest, the Patriots are better than the Steelers. I agree with logic.

They each have played two games. Comparing individual outcomes in the NFL vs common opponents is not always a great indicator this early. Your logic is from an N of not much. The Dolphins played desperate vs Bills. Patriots got worked at home by Geno. I will take Rodgers as the difference in this game. If you are correct and the Pats “handle” them, I’ll be on here giving you credit.

Pats are the home team.  If they match up that closely.. fans make the difference.

Those fair weather Massholes make zero difference in the game.

SOMEBODY from the AFCE has to step up, right ? I mean it really can’t be this easy every single year. 

 It was for New England for 20 years no?

Rams/eagles. Time.to see siriani get schooled by a smarter coach. 

Didn’t they play in the playoffs last year?

For sure. If that defense can’t turn it around, their season is going to be a long and losing one.

Agree but with what’s been shown on the field so far, they are a better team than the Steelers. 
 

Like you said, it’s going to come down to mistakes

They’re both poorly performing teams but I out the edge to the Steelers right now.

Was it last year or the year before?  I was talking to an eagles fan Friday and we couldn't remember. Rams beat lions - rams played in phili?

I think the rams are better this year and the eagles are not the same team now as they were 6 months ago or the same they'll be in the playoffs
