Hutchison broke his Tibia vs Boys. 

About the only thing that went wrong for the Lions.

Daniels was very good vs the Ravens today, this kid looks better than the Hype had him.

And I've been a Lamar/Ravens critic but they now seem to be getting it all together and Lamar looks good from the the pocket.

Why does it feel like the Ravens are their own worst enemies? Too many fumbles or INT at the worst time. I think that's what's been their doom in the playoffs the last 3 years.

3 points for nearly everyone this week

A couple relying on a Bills tomorrow win to get the 3

But it's a must win for the Jets

A week is a long time in sport (sometimes) and after reading about all the reasons why Bill wouldn't take the job on, it seems a long shot now anyway

So the Jets are probably going to have to find another way forward.  And because the AFC North is not a strong Division, they can make the playoffs

But they'll need to win the Division as a wild-card spot might be out of reach

I wouldn't rule a line through Belichick right now but it seems unlikely that he'll take the Jets coaching job

Would rather go with either Vrabel or a forward looking offensive coach, its an offense dominated league these days yet the Jets have always gone with a defensive minded coach. Time to try something different.

Having King Henry at RB has been huge, he is an absolute beast. He's the reason I had more than a passing interest in the Titans for a few years and with Lamar at QB I think they'll topple the Chiefs in January.

Oh for sure, and Lamar is to fault at times, but normally come January they are facing defences that can handle the dual threat QB's better, but with Henry this is now much harder than it has been in previous years. Flowers is looking good too.

I'm not that convinced simply because I don't believe their D is good enough to hold the best teams to under 20 points, but if they do beat the chiefs it will be 30+ each side.

And the Chiefs are strolling with half a side at the moment.

Flag City in the Jets/Bills game

Missed field goals aplenty ... a match of mistakes

[Gorgoroth 12,823]

Another Hail Mary for Rodgers.

But let's face it, the Bills aren't going deep this year unless things change on both sides of the ball.

Jets looked much better, be interested to see how long the better form lasts, was it just the week after effect.

Big week for the favourites last week AND all the big favourites covered I believe. Wonder if that will continue this week or we'll see revert back to a few upsets.
