I just had a look. It's tough. Might have to wait one more week. lol

Might do the same ... can only find 3 locks for the division titles and they're all in the AFC.

The NFC is a nightmare to figure out - especially in the West

    Yeah it's nuts. You just wouldn't have confidence with so many. Actually there's very few teams in the NFL that don't have massive gaping holes. Denver would be the only one that seems solid everywhere.

    Does beg the question wether the divison winners should automatically advance to the playoffs.. The saints could go 7-9 or 8-8 or the panthers 7-8-1 or 8-7-1 and make it... While other sides could go 9-7 or 10-6 in a strong divison but not make it... Seem stupid

    Nope division winner makes it. I'm happy with that.

    But I do think the team with the better record should host the wildcard game. The 10-6 wildcard should host the 8-8 division winner.

    It would certainly be an interesting coincidence if Seattle finished with the better record and had to go play the Saints as the reverse happened a few years back and Seattle as heavy underdogs at home got the win.

    San Diego, Colts and Denver.

    Was very very tempted to go Washington instead of Denver but decided against it.

    Tough, tough week to find 3 road winners ... a point gained this week will be invaluable

    Eagles

    Colts

    Arizona

    San Diego

    Washington

    Eagles

    Rg3 is back against the vikes. Not sure if that bothers me too much. He hasn't found form for some time. Colt McCoy looked pretty good against Dallas. Hard tipping week so I'll back rg3 in to play well.

    I was going to tip the Eagles but I keeps seeing in my own mind JJ Watt smashing Foley every play...

    Can't wait to watch the cards/cowboys game, is Romo playing?

    Could easily end up with nothing this week

    Ravens

    Indy

    Arizona

    Should probably have put in Denver over Pats but I want to watch the game with nothing riding on it

    I'm worried about him and Clowney... could this be the week?

    They've given up 2 sacks in about 6 weeks, but that's mostly cos Foles is throwing it away like a frightened child.

    Yeah looking at Weeden he seemed to cope well in a pinch. It's a good one that one cos win or loss, Eagles win.

    I traded away Ingram for Maclin midweek. This way madness lies.

    Not a bad game today, Cam needs to drop a few mph of his passes tho, reminds me of Buckley, beautiful user of the ball but if your team can't hold the ball cow it's sent to them too hard then the pass isn't any good.

    I can't see him playing but they're saying he might - hasn't practiced all week so he'd have to be doubtful - you'd think.

    Romo Has Fractures In Back; Might Play Sunday

    Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo suffered two fractured transverse process in his back in the loss to the Washington Redskins, but there remains a chance he could play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to multiple sources.

    Romo just got pulled from the game. Good move by Cowboys.

    Chargers, yuck... Well normality returns to my tipping... Filthy I've got to work today, broncos/patriots would be the perfect way to start the week

  • Quote

    Back and forward game against Washington. Gotta stop RG3 and Jackson connecting on huge plays.

    Week 9:

    San Diego

    .

    Lol.

    Pretty comfortable day for the Chiefs. Had to take care of business today. The game against Seattle in a couple weeks is shaping as the third easiest we have left, so we couldn't afford to slip up.

  • Quote

    So this is what it feels like to have your team win two in a row.

    First and goal from the Rams' 2 on the final drive of the game.

    We lost.

    Only Colin Kaepernick knows how to lose games from that position.

  • Quote

    The Steelers & Ravens really don't like each other, do they?

    Stand out moments today ...

    49ers losing - that's gotta hurt

    The Pats are right back in business and maybe Denver aren't that good

    The Eagles,KC, Cinci & Arizona all had vital wins

    Miami might be a good team and are the Vikes back in it?

    Seattle win in unimpressive fashion but Pittsburgh continue to impress.

    And Dappa, picking those division winners, Conference match-ups and wild-cards is going to be hard work - I'll have a go in a day or so.

    Two stories that stick out for me are Big Ben has gone mad. Holy crap he can play. He is destroying teams with the help of a defense that can get the ball. The other story is the AFC is an absolute mess. I Wouldn't have the faintest idea how the AFC is going to play out. Apologies to St. Louis who had an awesome win.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
