Tennessee is the worst team in the AFC South, so the Giants should be safe (23-0 now).

The bigger concern are the Saints who are on track to lose their fourth home game in a row (down 24-3).


Seemed such an easy pick too.

Im gonna have to look deeper into the form tables.

Not sure how a form table could have helped with a Carolina pick. They only won one game out of their last ten, so they have been an as-good-as-dead team for the longest time.


The site I use doesnt just give results, but it give spoints scored and conceded.

That said, even looking further into it I would have never picked Carolina. This is just one of those games.

Arkaign Predicts :
DAL-CHI W PIT-CIN W STL-WAS W NYG-TEN W
CAR-NO L NYJ-MIN W BAL-MIA W IND-CLE W
TB-DET W HOU-JAC W BUF-DEN 2 KC-ARI 1
SEA-PHI 1 SF-OAK 1 NE-SD 1 ATL-GB 2 x 21


Feel good about most of these. Fixed the first entry to pick DAL over CHI at CHI.

Tossups : PIT v CIN, BAL v MIA (Dolphins looked like garbage vs. the Jets, but can be good sometimes), KC v ARI (could be a game with less than 20 total points!).

There should be some upsets, possibly TEN over NYG, JAC over HOU, CLE over IND (Manziel magic coming?), BUF over DEN? Who knows. I tried to stick to the favorites here logically.

Week is coming together decently for once. 1 loss, but I don't think too many people picked CAR > NO haha.

Looking forward to seeing how the rest of these fall. Good feelings about the rest of them though for the most part.

Man some of these calls for the Seahawks were iffy early in the game. But whatever. Maybe the refs feel like they are being called on too much as well.



Arkaign on 07 December 2014

Yeah KC isn't very good. In defense of the pick though, Arizona is extremely overrated as well.

There is GB and NE at the top of the heap. Then Denver really close to that. Then a pretty big gap, and you have a bunch of midpack talent that is still dangerous like Seattle, Philly and Dallas. Then another pretty big gap, and a bunch of mediocre to okay teams like SD, KC, MIA, CIN, yadda. Then another big gap, and the dregs at the bottom (Oakland, Jets, etc).

Steelers are top one week, mid tier the next, and absolute worse then jets area the week after (They lost to the Jets).

 

So where would they be :P.

Geno Smith sucks. Got into an argument with a couple of No Good, Ignorant, Guys Going At it in the gym a few weeks ago who were saying there is an active movement behind the scenes  in the media and the NFL to keep black quarterbacks like Geno Smith and Michael Vick down. I told them there is not: Geno and Vick just plain suck, simple as that. Why would a team sabotage it's own future just to make a statement about black QBs? Why would the same media that gushes over Russel Wilson and eats out the palm of Tony Dungee's hand have a vendetta against what is probably more than half the league?

Geno had already 2 TD passes in the first quarter, so he isn't all-out sucky.

And his very first past was a pick-6. And my Vikings aren't the best measuring stick for quality passing.

However, I will concede that he looked like a real NFL QB today. Not a great one, but if he can play at that level for the rest of the seasons, the Jets might be able to afford holding off on acquiring another QB in the draft.

^^ I'd put them with the mid-pack ''okay' teams due to that crazy inconsistency. They also haven't put down a great team this year imho.
