Colts what a joke - handed Pats the #1 pick too 🙄

Turned out to be the trap game

    If the Falcons win their last 2 games and Seattle beat the Rams next week, Atlanta will end up as the 3rd seed in the NFC

    So a lot riding on this match because if the Falcons lose today, they may not be in the playoffs at all!

    Falcons lead 14-7 after that interception

    Lions have nothing to play for tomorrow as they will still need to defeat the Vikings next week in order to win the NFC North (regardless of tomorrow's result)

    Atlanta leading 17-7 against Washington at half time and if they can win today, they can wrap up the NFC South with a win at home against the Panthers next week

    Falcons miss FG and into OT we go

    Falcons will always Falcon… FFS

    It’s a broken record but the regular season OT rule needs to changed… It’s a joke a team doesn’t have right of reply if the opposition wins the toss & scores first up. Yes I know there is the other side “defence need to hold up” but it doesn’t feel right…

    Maybe in the old days you could say "D needs to hold up" but the game/rules are so heavily skewed to the offense these days it's unfair not to allow a team a possession.

    It's just a rubbish rule and amateurish to be honest.  About as unfair as it gets and as Gonzo, mentioned, the sport is all geared towards scoring these days

    Especially when considering that a teams offense starts at their own 30 yard line on mostly perfect surfaces ... getting into the red zone is not all that difficult these days

    It's just my view but I prefer NFL games that are not free-scoring affairs.  So I don't like the 30 yard rule and would prefer it if it was 20 yards

    The new safety rules that protect QB's, WR's and the like is enough as far as I'm concerned.  Giving the offense extra un-earned yards seems unfair on the defense in my view

    I think it should be the whole time limit. Play the full time no matter how many possessions.

    49ers slicing through this Detroit defence.  The question is can they curtail Detroits offense?

    No they can't. Lions offence is phenomenal

    Double points for the last week and the title is almost in GtB's hands!

    Although it is a tricky week and 8 points is still possible (if only 1 participant gets 3 from 3)

    Some of the lines are rather questionable but are the bookies ever wrong?

    Going to be interesting on games like the Rams who will know before the play if the Bucs have won/lost and what it could mean to seeding, but I think a lot of starters get sat this weekend.

    It's either one or the other when the results don't matter.  It's either all-in or the starters get rested.  And Vegas cottons on early with the odds/lines

    Best to follow the money a la KC, Bills & Texans (starters rested with all 3 teams?)

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
