2 big points on offer this week in the comp with at least 4 road favourites.  But is one of those games a trap game?  We'll find out soon enough as one of those games is being played on Friday.  Surely the 49ers win ... surely!

SNF looks the game of the round although MNF might spring a surprise whilst Friday's game might be closer than imagined.  Maybe.

I still can't get behind the 49ers as the best in NFC. But they could easily prove me wrong. Love what they're doing all over the ground.

Otherwise I like most of that list... Though it's interesting you have no NFC East in there. I still have my Eagles in the top 12. If not for the debacle against the Cowboys we'd be rated much higher by all and sundry.

 

1 - Patriots. Historically good. 

2 - Saints. TBH would have put the Packers here, but no Brees and Kamara and still able to do what they've done. They deserve it.

3 - Packers. Have both Jones and Rodgers in fantasy, so watching them closely. They're the real deal again. And defense is pretty good too. Would love to see them against Pats in Superbowl.

4 - 49ers. A bit of the Falcons from a few years ago about them. Not sure I can trust. Jimmy G has been good, but he's the sore thumb compared to the other QBs in this list.

5 - Chiefs. I still believe. Mahomes back makes them scary again. As well as some players back from injury.

6 - Seahawks. Good across the board.

7 - Cowboys. I don't understand how they managed to lose 3 in a row. Stars everywhere and a defense that's stacked with talent. Should be higher up, but have to do it again in a toughish schedule.

8 - Vikings. Cousins getting going has me interested again. Just don't trust him against the big boys in prime time yet.

9 - Texans. Might be a bit high. I just love Watson. JJ's injury might hurt them down the stretch though.

10 - Ravens. Jackson is a threat for MVP... I just don't love these running QBs. Ahead of the Eagles here because their defense is better.

11 - Eagles. Call me a homer, but I still have them as a playoff team. With that secondary you can't have them higher than this, but there's players coming back. And the rest of the defense, and the team, as well as QB are air tight. Have to beat Bears and one of Seahawks and Patriots... then their schedule opens up. Having said that, they're at best just making up the numbers in playoffs.

12 - Colts. Impressed as heck with what they've done.

 

Have ended up with one too many NFC teams. So I guess it's down to Vikings and Eagles for that 6th spot. Gulp. Bills to sneak in to playoffs. 

Yeah that's a decent appraisal Dappa

My 12 isn't a practical one as I didn't have a NFC East team in and only 5 AFC teams in the 12.

But for what its worth I've got the Cowboys & Eagles in that 10-12 area.  And a lot can change in a month or even in a week or 2.

We could revisit the power index at the end of November just to compare lists.  Others can obviously have a go too

Can’t really fault this much at all. I too give the edge to the Saints as best in NFC, fantastic and might now even go up a cog with Brees back.

Loving what the Packers are doing at the moment, give Rodgers a running game and it’s amazing what he can do, they’re back.

Real proud of the Niners, we’ve got talent but are we world beaters? I do not think so yet. Running game helps a lot to open up that play action and the big question is when that running dries up which I expect it will but the team is playing with a lot of confidence and guys are stepping up across the board. 

Big soft spot for the Texans. Mainly because a colleague is a massive fan! But I too love the way Deshaun goes about it and that play late in the game against the Raiders? It’s been understated just how good that was. I did think they would crunch the south but gee the Colts have been amazing. Bit like the Swans of the NFL (pre 2019).

Niners, Houston, Dallas.

There have only been 2 road wins this week and you've nailed both Gorg.  A trap round for road favourites that is for sure.

Smart move leaving out the Pats & Packers as you only now need Dallas to get up to get the 2 points one-out.   But it's Dallas!

Good luck!

Tbh I thought the packers a Monty but like to have a point of difference when chasing and Houston in LOndon as the away team is better than at Jacksonville. 
if Dallas can do what they should then it’s worked my way ?

Geez, Dallas made it hard. Gotta say, they look like the worst in play off contention of the whole NFC including wildcard spots.

You think?

I would agree, but they did smash the pants off the Eagles. Strange to see two stacked rosters in Eagles and Cowboys, but neither look anywhere near as good as 49ers, Seahawks, Saints, Packers... Or even Vikings or Rams.

The next 8 will tell the story of the niners, it’s a hard run for them. 

Gotta win 4 to beat Seahawks out of top spot. Rams have pretty much no hope unless we will 7 of our last 8

Every year there's one that should make it and gets pushed out.

Just had a look at their draw. Seahawks the hardest. Ravens and potentially 49ers tough. Cowboys maybe. Gonna be tough.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success. Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed. Date of Birth: 9 January 1996 Height: 188cm Games MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 167 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 49

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress. Date of Birth: 26 March 2003 Height: 182cm Games MFC 2024: 16 Career Total: 20 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 3 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 1

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest. Date of Birth: 24 March 2002 Height: 179cm Games MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 11 Goals MFC 2024: 2 Career Total: 2 Games CDFC 2024: 12 Goals CDFC 2024: 7

    2024 Player Reviews: #17 Jake Bowey

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
