Matt Schaub needs to gtfo! He giving points to the other teams, he doesn't have what it takes to beat great defenses.

For the first time, I will be picking against the Texans next week. Unless, Schaub doesn't start, which is unlikely.

So I hear (and this is not a joke) tht they were burning Schaub jerseys in the parking lot after the game?

Yeah,I went to the game on Sunday at Reliant Stadium and it went quiet when Schaub threw the pick 6. There's been a lot of hatred towards Schaub, it's divided between Texans fans and Schaub is the reason why. It's crazy, lol.

Here's a link:

BTW: Not all Texans agree with this video and we're not all stupid ghetto dumbasses.

What about the biggest gainers and losers this week?

They are right there in the Standings paragraph.

Please note that the PHI-DEN game should be changed to DAL-DEN.

Thanks. It's actually DEN-DAL, so I'll put your pick down as "1".

Thanks!

Maybe he will pull a Cutler. Play badly, then fake an injury to get out of the game and have an excuse.

What did he seriously do that!?

Yes, in the NFC Championship Game against the Packers a few years ago.

Wow, what a coward.

Now, now.  He actually did have a sprained MCL (knee injury).

JAC/STL: My Jags are bound to win one game this season either playing a almost equel shitty team (like this case) or a random fluke so I'll put my one Jag bet down now.

Don't sell yourselves short.  You could be a historically bad team with just a little (less) effort.  

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1783577-are-the-2013-jacksonville-jaguars-a-historically-bad-football-team

"Worst Point Differential

NFL Record—1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 14 games, 125 points for, 412 points against; -287 point differential

2013 Jacksonville Jaguars: 3 games, 28 points for, 92 points against; -64 point differential

Obviously, it says a lot that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers set the NFL record for worst point differential while only playing a 14-game schedule, instead of the 16-game schedules teams play nowadays.

To accurately compare Jacksonville's point differential through three games to Tampa Bay's 1976 season, we must extrapolate the Jaguars' point differential to the end of the season to see what it would be if they continue on the same pace.

2013 Jacksonville Jaguars extrapolated over 16 games: 149 points for, 491 points against, -342 point differential

That's right...the 2013 Jacksonville Jaguars are on pace to end with the worst point differential in NFL history. Worse than the winless 1976 Buccaneers and 2008 Detroit Lions. Worse than any team in any year ever. Now THAT'S historically bad."

And after 4 weeks, you are now on pace for a -392 point differential!

Bears could've been 4-0 right now. Cutler couldn't remain mentally stable and they blew away the middle of the game to a strong Lion team. They will rebound in Chicago for a narrow win on a hot NO team that will be overly cocky.

As for the rest of my reasoning... BECAUSE I SAID SO!

Come on, superchunk. The Bears are masters of blowing their division lead and sliding to third. There's no way you believe that they can stop the Saints.


Of course they can. #1, the Saints don't do as well outside a dome. #2, Sean Peyton may break his leg again. #3, Drew Brees may die in a horrible accident. #4, a meteor might land on the Saints' sideline, murdering everyone.

You just don't know when it comes to football...
