SEA @ SF (-10): SF will cover. Even though I jokingly have SEA going to the NFC Championship vs. the Vikings.

LAC @ JAX (+1): LAC to cover on the road at JAX.

MIA @ BUF (-10.5): BUF will cover. MIA has no QB.

NYG @ MIN (-3): Vikings will cover. Vikings by 13.

BAL @ CIN (-6.5): CIN will cover vs. their Division rival for a second straight week. 

DAL @ TB (+3): TB to win. Though this one surprises me. Thought DAL would be more -6.5 @ TB.  

2/6... and I'm sure Vegas didn't farewell in a couple of these game. I'll try this again... lol!!!

 

JAX @ KC (-8.5): KC will cover. No comeback for the Jags this time.

NYG @ PHI (-7.5): PHI will cover. Always tough to beat a Division rival 3 times in a row. Though Philly will.

CIN @ BUF (-5): BUF will cover. Ciny's front O line SUCKS.

DAL @ SF (-3.5): SF will cover. SF is just too good, and Brook Purdy has too many weapons and a GREAT D to make him look good.

I think Brady is gonna retire

 

Lost wife? Check
Made playoffs, but that team is crap? Check
Still getting paid? Check
Have broadcasting job waiting? Check

Was it really worth it to un-retire?

Its conceivable he un-retired because he knew a divorce was coming and not the other way around.

 

 

Very conceivable. 

If Bills don't win, go Cincy. Why? I have no other reason than I like their unis. It really is as simple as that.

There are concerns in my mind. I am confident, but not going to braggadocio level. CIN is good.

I don't necessarily agree with this but the offseason could be interesting especially if the Niners win/make the Super Bowl.

There is still two years left on his rookie deal plus a fifth year team option if the Niners want to keep him.

Garrapalo will be gone so I’d keep them both.

Agreed. It's a good QB problem to have.

Also gotta consider what kind of haul you’d get for a QB that’s played four NFL games. This after a year where they needed three different guys at said position.

Did the Super Bowl door just open wide for the Bills?

There's a certain orange and black team still in the way, and they will not be easy to remove.

Ideal weather in Buffalo for the Bills vs. Cincy game. Still feel this game should’ve been played at a neutral site.

Sounds like something a group of us would’ve down a few years back for tailgating for either Gopher Football or Hockey.

I made a bet with a buddy at Bills -3.5. I don't think the -5.5 holds. CIN is too good.

Kick off was -6 Bills, now it’s -4.5 Cincy. I still like Buffalo winning. They need a stop here and not let it go 17-0 or 21-0.

I'm glad to see Ed Donatell land on his feet and get the DC job in Buffalo for the game. 😉 🙁

They just got a good stop there. I’d be more worried about getting Allen a little time to think.

The NFL needs to simplify the rule. If the QB is in a throwing mode and the ball comes out and moves forward, it’s incomplete.

Of course Jerry Jones is on the field adding to the drama.

Go CIN. 

I'm beyond mad, but go CIN. Starting with Devon Still, and the weird bond with the Andy Dalton thing in 2019, and now the Damar/Tee thing ...lots of respect for that franchise.

This lost for Buffalo fans has to feel like in ‘98 for Vikings fans.

Vikings fans, Bills fans and even Cincy fans have A LOT in common.

I got the 27 for CIN right. Was just a smidge off for the Bills score total, though. 🙁

Cincy is my childhood fav. team. Liked their helmets all the way back to ‘81. Took coming to college in Minnesota to meet my first Cincy fan/fans when there was 4 guys from Ohio on my floor.

Cincy opens as a 1.5 dog at KC. If the Bengals offensive line can hold up like today. They’ll win in KC.

+1.5, I'd take them at +3.5 all day. 1.5 is way too close.

San Fran has some QB questions for next year. 3 starting QBs; Lance, Garoppolo and making his case Purdy. Do they trade 1 or 2 of them for draft picks? And if the  trade 2 of them, they can use any of their picks for a QB.

Love that one of the fans in the end zone had the Ray Finkle poster with "Brett Maher - Laces Out" caption after the missed PAT.  Grinning

Garappolo is a free agent

If so… they still have a question at QB with Lance and Purdy.

Seems pretty solid to me. The only question will be if Lance is starter or if it’s a competition.

Cincy opens as a 1.5 dog at KC. If the Bengals offensive line can hold up like today. They’ll win in KC.

With Mahomes having a high ankle sprain, his ability to move around and extend plays will likely be limited. If the Bengals DL can bring pressure again I like the Bengals odds.
