TNF will make up for it. Wentz vs Newton. Who are we picking in THAT one?

Edited October 11, 20178 yr by Dappa Dan

We all only need make one pick this week. No way anyone isn't picking the Pack and Pats with their first two.

Yeah,  you're right Dappa,  it's finding that 3rd road winner that's tricky.  However, would any of us be surprised if the Pats or Packers lost?

Seeing we're on a new page,  here are the games again ...

Yeah can’t wait for Friday’s game. Should be a Cracker.

As the yanks are apt to say,  Friday's game could be a barn-burner. 

I'll go for a scoreline of 32 - 29 in the Panthers favour ... home field decides it.  If the game was played in Philly,  reverse the scores.

I'm inclined to agree. PhillySS.

I’m going the other way, eagles 27 - 24 panthers.

Lane Johnson out is huge tho.

Pats

Steelers

Packers

Got a 5am start tomorrow. Should get to the game at 2pm.

Pity I cant watch it live. 

I probably shouldn't tip this early, but it's one of those weeks.

Pats and Packers and...

Bucs.

Patriots

Packers

Rams

On the Rams!!!

Brave. I don't trust our ability against the run yet. It has been much better last two weeks but jags run it so well. 

Packers 

Pats

 

 

 

 

 

 

49ers

Anyone gutsy enough to pick Eagles?

Caught most of the 1st half today... Both QB were under pressure from the defenses, and Carolina couldn't get any run game going.. The 1st interception from Newton which was a huge play made by Cox sort of turned the tide. Didn't see any of the 2nd half though, good road win for Philly

The run D was startling from the Eagles. Dropped them in the backfield more often than not. I think they ended up averaging 3 inches per run play. That in turn led to Cam having more pass attempts than any game in his career. Eagles corners did enough, even though they were one on one... then Cam got hurt on an almost TD run... And he couldn't throw right at the end.

Was an absorbing game, but not one for the highlights.

Not that we care. 5-1!!!!!

If you said to me at this stage Eagles would be on 5 wins and Dallas, Giants and Skins would have 2 or less I'd have laughed in your face. And add to that Zeke is going to be out for 6 weeks!

It'll still go down to the wire, the NFC East... But as of an hour ago, Eagles are the favourite. Couldn't be more pumped.

My take on today’s game that I tipped the eagles would win.

Just didn’t post it as one of my tips... idiot. Ha ha

Eagles D v the run was immense. So so good.

Wentz hits third downs like I sit on the couch. I can’t beloeve how many he hits.

The penalties against the eagles was terrible, then the same not called against the panthers.

Eagles did their best on offence to throw the game late, but I’m stoked they beat the Panthers.

Not just third downs, but third and 10+... At one point last week he hit 3x3rd and 11s... I dunno. Surely that's not a tactical thing, but just a bit of luck. Fell back to the pack a bit this week. 35% hit rate or so.

Man... the week 14 game vs the Rams is going to be a helluva thing. I reckon by that stage both our divisions will be praying for a win.

If your run D is as good as it was tonight we are fooked.

McCaffrey 10 receptions. Also, Gurley 'aint as bad as Stewart.

Also I'd take your WRs over Panthers WRs.

It’s funny thinking we have better WR’s than anyone...

I laughed. Then I thought about it... If they're not #1 in terms of names... they're not far off.

Rams - Watkins, Gurley, Kupp, Woods, Austin

Packers - Nelson, Cobb, Adams, Bennett

Steelers - Brown, Bryant (you have to include them)

Giants - OBJ, Sheperd, Marshall, Engram

Cowboys - Dez, Beasley, Witten maybe?

Falcons - Jones and it doesn't matter who else?

Patriots - Edelman, Cooks, Hogan

Broncos - Thomas and Sanders

Raiders - Crabtree, Cooper, Lynch

Bucs - Evans, Brate, DJax, Howard

They're the ones that jump out at me. Eagles have good ones with Ertz, Jeffrey, Agholor... but too early to put them up with the big boys.
