My initial thoughts...

First of all, I'll be in attendance down at Ford Field in Detroit for the MNF game. I am pretty stoked to attend a game this late in the year with a 1st place team. This will basically mark 1 year since it all started for this team. They never stopped Miami last October 30th and something had to change. Since then, this team has been on a mission!

To note about the actual game... They have a bye week following and that is at a perfect time to get guys like Monty healthy... I expect an all effort here and an absolute raucous atmosphere as all of SEMCON gets lubed up all afternoon down in the D.

Rivalry game for Minnesota on a short week, and that 1st opponent is SF. We know opponents off SF.

Hopefully the Bengals keep turning it around and do not be surprised if this is a SB preview.

Ravens schedule right now:

October 15th in London
October 22 home vs Detroit
October 29th @ Arizona
November 5th vs Seattle
November 12th vs Cleveland
November 16th vs Bengals

You have to think that we have a very good situational spot on the 16th there. Travel here to end October, a breather but then a VERY physical game vs Cleveland before the TNF game. Bengals have two home games prior to that.

Jets defense vs that Giants O-Line

No byes and the afternoon slate is absolutely pathetic with 3 games

 

[guaranteeed]

Why arent we flexing more?

Beak to beak at State Farm!

Pretty bad that the Thursday night game is one of the best of the week and it's an 8 point spread

 

[guaranteeed]

Wait if there are no byes why did you both list 13 or 14 games?

 

[guaranteeed]

Bengals 49ers is an afternoon game, that should absolutely slap

I take back my complaint

 

[guaranteeed]

Cavs list is missing that as well as pats dolphins and eagles commanders, which are morning games

Guessing because dolphins and eagles were playing, and 49ers do tomorrow

They had vikes line tho and they do too so I dono

Long day of sleep and woke up to playoff soccer

Phx won with a goal in the 119th, great night for us local dorks. Not often you get one of those!

 

[guaranteeed]

How badly do the 49ers need to crush primetime kirk tomorrow to move them to 6.5 vs bengals and can they please do it

 

[KJ]

Think the line will be more reflective of CMC and Deebo's health as opposed to how they beat Minny 42-10 tomorrow night

 

[B.A.R.]

I posted on Tuesday and Cavs updated tonight.

Injuries keeping games OTB?

SF and Minny games next week are not currently lined. That's the current reason.

 

[B.A.R.]

I don't know if I've ever seen this for a Eastern Time zone team.

After next week, the Eagles will play 7 straight games at 4:25 or 8:20.

Man if Philly wins the WS alcohol sales will be off the charts

 

[HUNT]

Time to put McDermott on the hot seat. He's the problem if he can't ever figure out the problem.

 

[Coverdatspred]

Can any of you Detroit guys talk me out of a max Lions bet? I don’t see how the Raiders stay within 3 TDs. The focus will be there this week without a doubt by Detroit after what happened yesterday.

 

[askias]

A lot of teaser options this week.

 

[KJ]

We finally get a reprieve from the Giants/Jets in prime time just to get the Bears and Chargers Sunday night

Not sure I can even spell the Chicago QB's name

 

[brewers888]

One of the problems is definitely Ken Dorsey.

Can't really talk you out of it. Raiders are a mess.

The scenario where the raiders keep it close is crosby lives in the backfield, which I dont see with Lions OL being a strength. Goff should throw all over this secondary

 

[guaranteeed]

On other side, can Adams put up a 10 reception 2 tuddy 200 yard game, sure, but hes only getting about 6 targets a game for some reason, so it seems very unlikely

Situation is great.

No doubt.

 

[pressitup]

Ravens 7-0ats 1st Q
Jets 0-6ats 1st Q and 1st half
Cards 7-0ats 2nd Q
Jags 6-1ats 1st half
Pack 6-0ats 2nd half( they are horrible 1st Q and half)
Giants 1-6 2nd half

 

[pressitup]

Not sure I can even spell the Chicago QB's name

The way he played last week, we may find out that he sacked groceries at one point.

 

[C-MAN]

Titans are 5-0 SU and 4-0-1 ATS after a bye with Vrabel (and 4 of these have been blow outs).

 

[C-MAN]

The road team is 8-2 last 10 in Jack/Pit series.

 

[askias]

That Titans Falcons total is approaching Iowa levels.

 

[Lexington 125]

Situation is great.

No doubt.

I really like the over there

 

[B.A.R.]

I really like the over there

Lions get 31 is my thinking as of now.

Capping from there.

Leaving a variance of 27-35.

[Lexington 125]

Panthers get first win today?

Looking at this Car has prob had the tougher schedule & Houston is the better overall team. Stroud has looked solid and protected the ball but now have to go otr. 3 road games played for Texans

@Balty 3tds allowed on the ground (lost)

@Jax they have Jax #, but also Jax had a missed fg, Blocked fg & fumble in 3 of the first 4 possessions

@ATL Ritter threw for 300 yds and 5 ppl had rec of 20+ for ATL. (lost)

Panthers have had 2 lower scoring games at home but have allowed 2+ rushing tds on the ground in every game but 1. I could see Pierce having a good game but I'm leaning on the pts and over here.

Apparently Schefter uses a different weather site than me, looks pretty clear most of the day per weather underground.

 

[aplous]

Ya, all the snow was yesterday. Going to be cold but almost no wind today at kickoff.

Thx

 

[C-MAN]

At this point in the season you pretty much are what your record says you are. Can’t fathom how the 2-4 Chargers are -9.5 over anyone, even the Bears.

 

[askias]

Juiced to forever, but Jimmy has thrown a pick in every game this season. Have to think that streak continues tonight.
