Picking the Panthers tonight. Not much faith in Carolina, but I have a feeling the saints will find a way to lose this game despite Brees putting up 400+ yards.

I can't believe somebody has the Giants in the top 10. Sure, they have the record, but the team is hot garbage and happens to be on the lucky side of very close games frequently.

By the way, all four NFC East teams are in the top 10. Must be because both the Redskins and Eagles have an upcoming home game against the Packers. It's now on Green Bay to restore the order of American football. ... ... ... We are doomed.

Who would you put ahead of them? Dallas, Oakland, New England, Seattle, Kansas City, Denver...I could maybe see putting the Redskins and Falcons ahead, but then who after? The Dolphins? The Ravens? The 4-5 Steelers? The -27 pt. differential Texans? The Giants haven't been great, but nobody else really has either, with the exception of Dallas and Oakland as of late. Only 14 teams in the league have a record over .500, and Houson, Miami, Detroit, and Minnesota are among those. I'm not sure how you could have the Giants outside the top 10 at this point. Yeah, they've gotten lucky, but 6-3 is still 6-3.

Agreed, there is a LOT of ... ahem .... parity ... this year :D

And although the Giants are a solid step below what I expected, they are about where they should be. I think their defense is a little weaker than Philly's, but their offense is more dangerous, primarily due to the extreme ball skills of ODB.

Also for this reason, people REALLY have to look at the schedule and games played to get a real idea on 'strength of schedule' and how good a team may be based on the records of their opponents.

I don't normally care about uniforms one way or the other, besides the hilariously stupid looking bumblebee prisoner throwback Steeler joke unis, but these Saints ones tonight look pretty sick.

Finally get to watch a TNF game, but it seems nobody else is watching. It seemed quite apparent at first that the Saints outclassed the Panthers, but then the turnovers came and the Panthers lead 20-3. Hopefully 2nd half brings some big plays.



Arkaign on 17 November 2016

LOL I thought I had picked CAR on this, shows how much I was paying attention. At least I got it right on Bovada.



Arkaign on 17 November 2016

Luke down for CAR. Not sure what, but he looked incredibly dazed and upset. If it wasn't already clearly over for the Panthers, that probably ices it for sure. That defense is going to considerably weaken without that guy flying around.
