Bills, Bucs and Chargers

Boy, am I struggling to get a read on the competition this year.

Could be the D/land NFL tipping comp curse at work t_u

Those who have won have often struggled the following season (although Gorg did go back-to-back and Clint has buttered up well after his 2 wins)

But all the others have not even gotten on the podium the following year

GB get the win over my boys, seems our offence played pretty good but once again our D was poor on the run.

McVay is now 7-22 when losing at the half, 1-16 when it’s over 4 points.

We once again didn’t commit to the run as much as I’d like but did some. 
I give it 3 weeks and we fire the D coordinator. Have Jags this week, then Cards, Seahawks, vikes, ravens, niners.

Prob not looking at better than 3-3 down that stretch. (Unless drastic step up by all), so 7-1 becomes 10-7.

Ive lost all faith in McVay, who does he blame now Goff is gone?

The Rams might have to do it all on the road but if you can put it all together, you'll be there when the whips are cracking

All your remaining games are winnable ... assuming you get over the Jags next up, the following game at Arizona looms large as a season definer.  Win both and the season is well and truly alive

As for the Packers, we've got a relatively moderate run home with the week off this week being a blessing (injury wise)

Whilst on paper they look winnable, I can’t seE us beating Cards, Ninersor Ravens who all run the ball well and we can’t stop the run for plop. Jags should be a easy kill…I say should. Vikes without Cook skews in our favour and Seahawks aren’t great but it’s a Div game. 
 

Henderson now with a quad strain, McVay won’t use Michel more than 3 times a game even though he was 4.7y per carry on Sunday and similar in other games. We haven’t used a second TE since Mundt got injured and if you look at how many personnel we used it’s minimal. GB used everyone, meaning it’s less predictable. McVay has been mostly figured out and os stubbornly remaining to his guns and woods out has really hurt.

2 points up for grabs this week as we enter the business end of the season ... any number of road winner chances too

Just be aware of the trap games!  Good luck!

Some interesting results today. 
Lions get a good lead at the half only to lose it then regain it on the last play of the game.

Seahawks beat the niners and threw in a. 73yrd fake punt to boot.

Ravens miss the 2 point conversion when a single point ties the game. Steelers win.

And the Patriots are (right now) the No.1 seed in the AFC.  Who would have thought?  Belichick gets his team into contention again

Pats @ the Bills tomorrow and there is a stack riding on the result

He is a master. Jones looks like Brady 2.0, nothing flash or powerful, just accurate and smart.

The race is well and truly on in the tipping comp.  With 11 points still available (Week 14 - 1 Point,  Week 15 - 2 Points,  Week 16 - 2 Points,  Week 17 - 3 Points & Week 18 - 3 Points) anyone can still win outright   

Time for some left field solutions for the backmarkers and this year, that strategy may just pay off.  Or it won't!

As for the frontrunners and those on the speed, do they dare to be different?  No risk, no reward!   

We're all chasing down 'Go the Biff' but will he falter?

I thought of an idea for the tipping comp next year ... a bonus point awarded if only 1 tipster correctly picks 3 road winners in any given week

Just adds a bit of interest especially if a tipster is trying to catch up or as an added incentive to tip away from the norm

All year there have been any number of road winners that none of us have picked

Just the 1 bonus point though ... even in the weeks where 2 or 3 points are up for grabs

Just a thought

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
