ok this might not be much but Broncos might not play peyton monday
since no matter what they still clinched it already and they cant be number 1 seed
plus hes sort of hurt his thigh :P

Unless Manning is seriously hurt, and actually needs the rest, it would be silly to sit him until the #1 seed is certain.  The Pats have the Jets and the Bills left in the season, and while I don't think they'll lose, the Jets always play them tough, Edelman and Arrington are both out vs the Jets, and the Bills D is really stepping up of late, plus, I'm sure Brandon Spikes would like to at least get HALF of his '2 wins vs New England' prediction correct this year (haha).

Boom, Eagles are officially a dumpster fire.

Who feels confident in their SD@SF pick?

The Chargers suffer from injuries on key positions: Allen and Mathews won't play, Rivers isn't 100% healthy. The 49ers lost Borland for the season, he was an important part of their defense. Regardless, it doesn't look like it's going to be easy for San Diego to score.

On the flipside, the 49ers offense has been trash the last few weeks, so it would be surprising if they can score a lot of points.

This is a matchup with the potential that a defensive unit (the 49ers') will score the most points and thus decide the game.

I don't feel good in the least. But I think the 49ers are in worse shape as an organization. Their HC has already signed the papers with another team, they cut some important player due to rape charges, their QB is a pariah, everyone is calling for the OC's head on a pike, the new stadium seems cursed, etc.

SD is a banged up team, but SF is in complete meltdown.


The conversation above is why I let a coinflip decide my pick for this game.



Chip Kelly's status as a genius is now unofficially under question.



Eagles lose to the Skins!?

Not only that, but the Eagles players will be eating each other after three straight losses. And :

NYG will win next week as well. Odell Beckham vs. Fletcher? I'll take NYG on that matchup.

Fletcher got benched during the game, but yeah, Eagles' secondary is crap and need better corners (and a safety, too).

EDIT: And Sanchez is a backup QB, at best.



Biggest disappointment is the Eagles, not any of the teams listed in the poll.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

I sure hope so. The Giants need to redeem themselves for that embarrassing 0-27 lose they had last time.

Man the Eagles losing 4 straight and the Giants winnning 3 straight would be a nice way to end this season.

I think they can do it. NYG is on a slow and steady improvement. I'm wondering if it will save Coughlin's job. I was so disappointed with him earlier, I didn't understand the idea of changing the dropback timing of a SB-champ QB, in fact, I still don't agree with it. You can run a different offensive scheme without changing something so fundamental and basic. Eli is not a child, he can do what you tell him, but if you screw with the timing too much, it can cause problems.

Anyway, Beckham is the most exciting player of the year. And I think he sees the end-zone at least twice next week. Rivalry games in the NFC East are almost always played at balls-out crazy effort in December, and with the NYG having a chance to get revenge for their first game, I don't think they have anything to hold back. That game will be their equivalent to a Superbowl, a way to exit the season on a high note. The fact that the deadskins just torched the Eagles makes it all the more exciting and possible for them.
