Green Bay vs Detroit 

 

KC vs Dallas


Cincy vs Baltimore 

 

great day of games. 

I'm taking Green Bay, Dallas and Cincinnati today.

 

Detroit has looked off this year to me. Maybe the new OC and DC are still learning. 

 

Baltimore has been on a win streak but Lamar has been flat out bad since he can back from injury. I think Cincinnati gets a small Burrow Bump that carries them to a win.

 

And Dallas's offense has been pretty good lately. Pickens and Lamb are a deadly duo. Today they feast.

 

 

I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow's Bears-Eagles Black Friday game. Chicago has def been a surprise to me this year.

Green Bay hasnt exactly been all that either.

Yes, it is a great slate of games for today.

Do you guys know that the Bengals have never beaten a Lamar Jackson-QBed team in Baltimore? The last time the Bengals won in Baltimore was in 2021, and that game was started by Joe Burrow and Josh Johnson. It's been a house of horrors for them. In 2023, Joe Burrow suffered his wrist injury in Baltimore. Last year, they scored a late TD and failed on their two-point try at the end and lost by one. Night games in Baltimore are a tough ask for any team, especially for a Cincinnati team that knows they have nothing to play for.  Baltimore is going to win tonight.

Agreed I don't see Cincinnati winning. Dallas is going to pull the upset though.

I guess we are rooting for the AFC playoff teams to be in some order Pats-Bills-Broncos-Chargers-Steelers-Colts-Jaguars.

 

With the Chiefs, Ravens and Texans missing out, unlikely as it may seem. 

 

Both KC and Dallas need the game today in a big way - KC going to either 7-5 or 6-6 and Dallas are probably out if they don't win today, if they lose today I believe they will be 10th in the NFC standings. 

 

Josh was undeafeated on a Thursday before last week, got to trust that Cincinnati wants to show something but with Hendrickson and Higgins out it will be tough.

The weather is decent here.  I bet they have the roof and doors open at the Death Star.  I think Dallas has a terrible record in that situation .

I get why the Cowboys always play, being the most popular brand. But why Detroit?

back when the first game ever happened with the NFL was in the 30s  between Chicago and Detroit. Detroit wanted to keep up the tradition. Throughout the years it has been embraced with Detroit culture from Eminem to Axel Foley.

Funny how no one complains about the horrors of Thursday football games on Thanksgiving…

 

If it wasn't for Thanksgiving football we'd be watching the NBA.

Should CIN believe they have nothing to play for?

 

At 8 losses, and another game against Baltimore at home, a win over them drops the Ravens to 6 losses and a Steelers loss to us drops them to 6 losses. 
 

With 5 to play after today, 1 remaining against Baltimore (who have no easy games left if CIN doesn’t give up) and a tough schedule for the Steelers along with Baltimore/Pittsburgh still

to play each other twice, 2 games back doesn’t seem insurmountable.  Unlikely, yes, but not crazy imo.
