Yeah Miami might be a miss for me but after seeing the saints last week I wasn't confident in them either. Their defense is one of the worst in the league at the moment and even my Vikes moved the ball into the red zone plenty of times. We couldn't finish the job and had to stick to field goals. Brees is still the boss but he needs help.

Saints Dolphins Panthers for me.... Is this 3 points this week?

I can see it being mega hard during bye rounds...

Just the one point on offer this week ...

Week 5 is worth 2 points ... after that, the other bonus weeks are week 8, 11, 14 & 17. (All those weeks are worth 2 points except week 17 which is worth 3 points)

All the other weeks are worth 1 point only.

I had a look at the week 5 games and couldn't find one "lock" ... it's the toughest comp in the free world.

BS Report

Not part of my tips but I reckon the Giants will get up tomorrow ... 23 - 21

Washington by 9... not part of my picks.

New England (boo)

New Orleans

Atlanta

Boy do we suck. We're 52-3 in the second half through our three games. And we have the Eagles coming to visit this week. We already had a tough schedule this year, but playing like we are we're continually slipping.

Some intrigue in most divisions though. Is AFC South contending with NFC East for worst division in the league now? I'm still not convinced with the Patriots but which of the others is any more convincing? Would absolutely love to see anyone other than New England win that division.Bills need to beat Houston this week to start with.

Completely forgot that the Miama @ Oakland game is being played in London

I guess that it's technically Oakland's home game which would make Miami the "road" team.

Anyway, for expediency's sake, and for any other games played at neutral venues, any team listed as the "road" team can be included in your tips in the comp.

Anyone who wants to change their tips because of this new information can do so - just delete your original tips and post up your new tips in a different post.

Bills

Lions

Eagles.

Eli is having a night out so far ... he's damn good when he wants to be.

Turnovers costly for Washington

Ugh. Washington by 9 not looking too wise.

4 interceptions for Cousins - a nightmare.

Another blow-out on a Thursday night but not many were predicting that the Giants would be dishing out the punishment. The NFC East might be alive after all.

The Giants do this all the time - write 'em off and back they come.

Defense, running game, get a good QB and give them a chance. It's the basic philosophy of the NFL. When it goes wrong it can be awful but the Giants don't panic and seem they might actually be right.

Still not sold on their defense against good opposition. Same with their running game. But Eli's making people look silly. And I'd guess you'd be a fan of their offensive coordinator and game plan. Man does he share similarities with Andy Reid.

Where did they find that tight end from?! All of a sudden Eli is throwing it to people who can get separation and catch instead of mugs.

I've always been a fan of Eli and the way the Giants play on offense generally. Eli is a big occasion player and I get that - players like that are exciting to watch. They get criticised for not doing it all the time but that's never bothered me - it's how they're wired and I accept them for who they are. Fantasy sports people would argue with me but I could care less

Give me Eli or Big Ben over Romo or a few others, anytime. Getting the job done when it counts is what matters. Eli and Big Ben have been 'A' grade when it matters but unfortunately for both of them, neither of them are surrounded by the weapons that they once had (although Donnell for the Giants is a giant of a man and looks the goods already - he was immense in the red zone today)

The Giants and Steelers can never be underestimated whilst they've got their QB's at the helm.

I reckon Cousins just had a bad day - all players have those days and I wouldn't be writing him off just yet. He looks like he's got a bit of a "gunslinger" in him and again, those sort of QB's are great to watch.

So it seems I've blown our download limit until the first...

Didn't realise watching each game was bad...

Or the broadcast versions are 2.7 gb each... Ha ha oops.

So I'll not be seeing any games this weekend, glad the Rams have the bye.

Ok lets get analytical. I want a point. 12 games left. Need to tip 3 of them.

Ruling out Ten, Jax and TB. All starting back up QBs. Combined 1 win so far. Playing good teams with Luck, Rivers and Big Ben at QB. 9 games left.

Pretty good teams Atlanta, Carolina

Good teams GB, Detroit, NE, Phil, NO,

Below average teams Miami*, Buf

Pretty good teams: Baltimore

Good teams: Jets, SF, KC, Chicago

Below average teams: Houston, Minn, Dal

Bad teams: Oakland

Ok so can't take Carolina at Baltimore. 8 teams left. Can't take Buffalo at Houston, if the teams are level I'm not going for a bad one to win on the road. 7 teams left. Miami have a slight edge in overall level and aren't even at a proper away game. But I can't trust them. 6 teams left.

From there I'm going for my now trusted theory (yet to actually work) of going with the best QB's. Apologies to Brady, Foles and Stafford who will now likely have 400 yard and 4 TD days. After all that I'm going

Atlanta

Green Bay

New Orleans

Holy crap Kaepernick is slippery. I reckon they don't even care if they let through the odd blitz... they're not gonna catch him anyway.

Just don't know what to make of Eagles. Getting killed by SF Defense. But are up 21-10 with 2 special teams TDs and a pick 6....

[censored] me this team dissapoints me more than melbourne

Vikes?

Oh Teddy I love you.

Oh Teddy I love you.

Gees he was good.. I'm not suprised he played well given the falcons record against rookie QBs, but taking nothing away from

Teddy he was awesome

Vikes?

Yeah you'd think with all the players the vikes had out the falcons would be able to get the job done. They can't play out of the dome for sh*t

Bridgewater and Ryan went toe to toe today. It was a fun game to watch. Both defenses struggled at times. I thought Atlanta might have attempted some deeper plays against a so so secondary. Bridgewater looks so calm under pressure. He doesn't over throw the ball and can scramble to keep plays alive. He had over 200 yards in the first half and a rushing TD. Most of the credit for the win goes to the O line that dominated Atlanta. Our back up RB's got a lot of yards.
