Romo was trying to hype up the Texans chances of rising from the dead. I have a hard time with it. I think if they'd have won one of the three stupid games they lost - the Vikings game, the wind game in Cleveland, or the 2 pt. conversion game in Tennessee - then I'd be more into it. That way they could split the Colts and still finish 9-7 which is reasonable. But now they have to sweep the Colts which seems unlikely, and even if they do that, they have to hope their offense shows up in every game. Nick Foles/Trubisky will move the ball on this Texans defense as any quaterback would. Then you have the current state of play in the AFC where 9-7 might not even be enough. I do think though that the Texans can cause problems for teams, particularly their division rivals, as the season progresses. They look like a 7-9, 8-8 outfit to me.

Before I get into my predictions of this week after a 2-0 start on Thanksgiving, I owe UT an essay. "While you may all know me as a huge Donald J. Trump supporter, you might not realize what I really am. You're probably saying well you're a douche. A dick. Cocky. Ignorant. Or just plain ol' The Kid who has never changed. Well, you are most definitely wrong about that theory. Who I am is what I am and what I am is a HUGE United States of America supporter! So although you might think I am not a fan of Joe Biden, because I was tooting the horn of the Trump Train for four years now, you are sadly mistaken. I support this great country of ours and whomever is the leader of this great country of ours is who I will support and cheer for because their success as the President is our success as United States citizens. You see, I am a very intelligent and realistic person. I get it. I know how this works. I know how politics work. I also know that this write up on my support of Joe Biden needs to be five hundred words. Not only FIVE HUNDRED WORDS, but FIVE HUNDRED WORDS of non sarcasm. So far so good I will say, am I right? I would certainly say so.
Agree or disagree on the legitimacy of the loopholes used to get to FIVE HUNDRED WORDS or agree or disagree on the legitimacy of the election; I am also being sincere and non sarcastic in this writing. That is a fact and whether Donald Trump and the great Mayor Giuliani want to agree, Joe Biden is our next President.
So as you all know, I am not a fan of Kamala Harris in no way, shape or form. It has nothing to do with her gender. Nothing to do with her color. Nothing to do with her being a radical left. Well, maybe the radical left thing has something to do with it, but it's mostly because of how she got into office. However, I can not share the same disdain on our next President Joe Biden. I have always been honest throughout this election and the truth is he did a wonderful job during the debates against Donald J Trump, ESPECIALLY the first debate! My biggest concerns as an American citizen is that Joe Biden, who has been a part of American politics for longer then I have been alive, is able to make sure that LAW AND ORDER remains a stronghold of this country. Joe Biden needs to make sure that ECONOMY goes in the right direction and we avoid another Great Depression. Most importantly and most closely, that we find a cure or a vaccine to end this COVID life that we have unfortunately been involved in. I will be cheering for Joe Biden and as a proud American citizen, I will do my part in making sure that I help in making sure this country thrives. I am The Kid and for the next four years, I will be the number one fan of our next President, Joe Biden."Boom. 512 words! You're welcome. Politics is like chess. You either learn the game or you get played in the game. Now let's get on to the important things. This Sundays games of football. Before I make my predictions, I will say that I do not believe we will get the Ravens and the Steelers and IF WE DO, it will be either on Monday or Tuesday which will screw us fans out of a Thursday Night Football game next week as the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys were supposed to square off. I will also say that the Baltimore Ravens are going to most likely miss the playoffs and that makes me very excited. Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets- I will biasly start things off by talking about the two New York teams, okay, we'll make it 3 and talk about Buffalo too. In this game, the Jets will come in looking for their first win of the season. Adam Gase and the Jets organization wanted to test the wheels on Perine last week to see if he was the future at the RB and of course, Perine got injured. So we're going back to Frank Gore who said that if this is his last season in the NFL, he does NOT want to go out on a 0-16 team. This game gives me a feeling that the Jets might win, especially if Sam Darnold is back, but I might just be thinking that because of how disappointed I was in the Dolphins last week and how they kicked me out of the survivor league. Tua got benched for a bad performance and Fitzpatrick came in and nearly won them the game. That game opened my eyes to something that is becoming kind of obvious. Tua is NOT THAT GOOD. Think about it. His 3-0 start as a starter in the NFL was helped dramatically by the performances from his teams defense and special teams. He didn't have to really do much in those 3 games and realistically he had ONE decent performance there. I have no doubt that Ryan Fitzpatrick could've went 3-0 in those 3 games as well with the way the D and ST performed. I still think this is a game that the Jets COULD win, but I wouldn't bet on it. I think it's close again, but I think we might get the best game of his career out of Tua this week as that benching might give him the spark he needed. Or, he gets benched again and Ryan Fitzpatrick takes charge of this playoff run. Either way, I can't see the Jets winning this game because Flores is 100x the Head Coach Adam Gase is. Miami Dolphins win 23-19 New York Giants @ Cincinnati Bengals- Ugh, what could have been with those Cincinnati Bengals. They were obviously not a playoff team this season, but man were they fucking exciting to watch on offense. The fact that their defense sucks so much made it even more exciting because we got to see the Joe Burrow show every single week. Now, we get a practice squad QB in Brandon Allen and the stock of that offense drops dramatically. I do like their Head Coach publicly stating that Ryan Finley did not earn a start by playing poorly in relief and how he expects his QBs to always be ready and prepared for the just in case. Huge shot and dig at Ryan Finley as I guess the backups there just assumed this was the Joe Burrow show and they would never have to get on the field. Anyways, with the Washington win last night, the Giants know that they could either TIE them for the division lead or drop a HUGE opportunity and fall to where Dallas is. I would be absolutely disappointed and upset if the Giants blow this easy win as I would LOVE to see them be a part of the race to be the face of the NFC East. @admin would agree and so would thereallt . Something I also believe is that the Giants are way better then their record indicates. They blew two games they should have won in their division against Dallas and Philadelphia and had they not, the Giants would be walking away with this division right now at 5-5. Instead, they are at 3-7 and can jump into a tie for the division lead barring a Philadelphia win Monday Night. This is a cake walk match up for the Giants and I hope Joe Judge has this team ready for it. If they lose this game, their season is over. If they win, then that season sweep of Washington could be the reason that the Giants win the division. Don't blow this Big Blue. Handle your fucking business! New York Giants win 34-13.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Buffalo Bills
- New haircut, no problem. The Chargers found a way to not blow a lead last week against the Jets. The Bills sat at home during their BYE week after a heartbreaking Hail Mary loss and got to enjoy watching the Miami Dolphins lose a game they should have won against a weak Denver Broncos team. That puts the Buffalo Bills back in the drivers seat to win the AFC East and they need to keep their foot on the gas heading into this game. The Chargers might have some good news as Austin Ekeler could/should be returning to action this week. This is slated to be a shoot out, which means it could go either way. If the Buffalo Bills want to be treated seriously, they are going to need to get their run game going AND get their defense back to last seasons form. Neither will happen in this game, but they need to get their shit together. This will be a Herbert vs Allen classic, but in the end the one thing I trust and believe in is that the Chargers know how to lose one score games. This will be the story here, as well. Josh Allen should continue to make RT proud here. Buffalo Bills win 34-27. Arizona Cardinals @ New England Patriots- I was shocked to see the Patriots lose to the Houston Texans last week and have their playoff chase momentum get completely knocked out. They lost Rex Burkhead to injury last week, but this week SHOULD be getting back Sony Michel. What he does for this team is a question mark considering Damien Harris has played well and James White is still there and is their receiving back. Meyers has stepped up well in the WR role this season, but Byrd had a coming out party last week. It'll be very interesting to see how this team bounces back this week. It will also be interesting to see how the Arizona Cardinals bounce back after that tough loss they received in the hands of the Seattle Seahawks. Since this is a bounce back spot for both teams, I am going to make my decision based off of who I trust more in this situation. Kliff or Bill. The answer is Bill. Cam is healthy as of now and Kyler Murray is banged up. I'm not going to talk about Larry Fitzgerald being out for COVID as a big loss for Arizona, but it is still something to look into. I didn't see Arizona move the ball with ease against the worst defense in the NFL last week in Seattle and if Murray is banged up, I don't expect them to move the ball well against the Patriots D. Bill will figure out a way to shut down Nuk and that'll make it even harder for a hurting Murray to figure out a way to win. Especially since their run game is below average with shotgun runs up the middle ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Is Arizona a good team or just overperforming?. I don't know. They've lost to Detroit and Carolina this season and their only big win was against Seattle and it took a Hail Mary to beat Buffalo. I'm taking the New England Patriots to win this one and all of a sudden, Arizona's playoff chances aren't looking so easy. New England Patriots win 27-23
Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts
- Both teams are coming off of huge victories last week. Both teams are also coming into this game at 7-3 and the winner of this game WILL win the division. Unfortunately for jTjohncenaGOAT , I just can't picture a season sweep here for the Colts. A hobbled Philip Rivers is not going to be good for the Colts. What is crazy to me is that Philip Rivers is the LEAST SACKED QB IN THE NFL RIGHT NOW! Yet he's hurt. Crazy. The Titans D steps up in this game and the Titans rely more on Derrick Henry here instead of trying to have Ryan Tannehill lead them to victory. I think the Titans win a close one ONLY BECAUSE I can not picture a season sweep in the battle of the two best AFC South teams. Tennessee Titans win 24-17
Cleveland Browns @ Jacksonville Jaguars
- No Myles Garrett, no problem for the Browns last week. Takitaki has a cool last name and had a pick 6 for the Browns last week, but will not be playing this week due to COVID. This COVID thing sucks, by the way. Speaking of sucking, the Jacksonville Jaguars SUCK! The old Browns would definitely lose this game, because it would just be the Browns way. This new Browns team is well coached and has an excellent run game. The Jaguars will be sending out Mike Glennon at QB after the Jake Luton experiment was a fail. I think this will be a 1 and done start for Glennon as I can see The Mustache Man coming back next week and maybe breathing some life into this offense. As for this game, it'll be a blowout and it'll be a shut out. There's only so much James Robinson can do and the Browns will game plan around him which means Mike Glennon will have to try to find a way to win.... or score. In this case, he will fail to do both. Cleveland Browns win 35-0.Las Vegas Raiders vs Atlanta Falcons- A tough loss to the Chiefs last week has to be painful for the Raiders. You have to admire how well they have drafted to make sure they keep up with the Chiefs. They might get a 3rd chance at the Chiefs if the Chiefs end with the 2nd seed and the Raiders end with the 7th seed. Wouldn't that be an awesome playoff game? I think it'll happen as I don't know if the Steelers will relinquish that top seed. Anyways, the Atlanta Falcons are what they are. Fun on offense, at times, but still terrible on defense. The Falcons might be without Julio Jones in this game and even if he plays, I don't think that defense is good enough. I can see Henry Ruggs having his best game of his career in this one and the Raiders pulling out the victory. I think it'll actually be close, but like the Chargers, I do not trust the Falcons in close games. Las Vegas Raiders win 34-30.
New Orleans Saints @ Denver Broncos
- The Taysom Hill show began last week and as a Alvin Kamara fantasy owner; I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH IT! GIVE THE BALL TO KAMARA! YOU HAVE NO REASON TO SCORE TWO RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS! Anyways, Denver is coming off of an upset victory over the Miami Dolphins where they just ran the ball down the throats of the fish. However, this will not work against the New Orleans Saints D which has actually been pretty damn good after the BYE week. I do think that Denver puts up points in this game, but they find it hard to stop the Saints offense. Michael Thomas finally reaches paydirt for the first time this season and does so twice. The Saints win convincgly as the Taysom Hill Project gets off to a 2-0 start! New Orleans Saints win 38-23Carolina Panthers @ Minnesota Vikings- This is a tough game to predict, because we don't know if Adam Thielen is playing. Whether he plays or not, this is going to be a Dalvin Cook show. The Carolina Panthers are terrible against the run, BUT if the Panthers can have back to back weeks of great defensive play then you never know. Still, the Vikings lost a disappointing game to the Cowboys last week and after seeing the Cowboys performance yesterday it makes you wonder what this Vikings team really is. We know they are young on defense and that's gotten them into trouble this season, but their offense is still above average. Still, Adam Thielen or not, I think the Carolina Panthers keep their foot on the gas after last weeks great performance and pick up this victory in a game where they (can't say STOP) but don't let Dalvin Cook absolutely destroy them. Carolina Panthers win 20-17.San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams- The 49ers have been a sad story this season with injuries. They might get Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman back for this game, maybe even Deebo. Maybe that helps them? I don't know. The Rams have looked like the best team in the NFC lately with huge wins over the Seahawks and the Buccaneers in back to back weeks. Hard to pick against them at this point and I will not. I found a random fact about Cooper Kupp against the 49ers through his career. Basically; he is awful against them. I think that changes this week as Kupp goes 5/60/1 which isnt huge but compared to his career stats against them is great. The Rams will not win this one easily, but I expect them to come out on top. Jared Goff shredded the Buccaneers last week as both Kupp and Woods ate. I think we get a mix of run game and pass game here, but the difference maker will be the Rams D as they will contain Nick Mullens and any idea the 49ers might have for an upset here. Closer then it should be, but the Rams walk away with the victory. Los Angeles Rams win 24-17.GAME OF THE WEEK!Kansas City Chiefs @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers- The KING vs the GOAT. It does NOT get any better! This game would be a lot more exciting had the Buccaneers beat the Rams on Monday and been coming into this game at 8-3, but they did not. They instead come into this game at 7-4 and a loss here coupled with a Saints win could eliminate any hope the Buccaneers have of winning that division. Two things you need to know about these two QBs. Tom Brady does NOT have a bad game two games in a row! Patrick Mahomes is a man you should NEVER give time to because he will beat you. This is the perfect recipe for an excellent showcase of Patrick Mahomes. The Buccaneers Run D is as shut down of a run D as you can be. So this is not the game where CEH and/or Leveon Bell will shine in. This will be a Patrick Mahomes game and that's as great as it gets. The Buccaneers can't stop Mahomes, but they can try and shift their focus to stopping one of their playmakers. I think the best bet is to try and shut down Travis Kelce and have the Chiefs beat you with their WRs. The way I look at this team is like a dynasty. Mahomes is the MJ. Then they have Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce that are superstars in their own right. Then they have the Robert Horry in Sammy Watkins who is slated to come back this week. The Chiefs are going to need their WRs to step up so expect something big from Mecole Hardman in this game as well as he will definitely be the one left unaccounted for when the D tries to stop Kelce and/or Cheetah. Tom Brady has no excuses of lack of weapons on his offense this year. The Buccaneers gave him everything the Patriots did not. A two headed RB monster in Fournette and ROJO. Evans, Godwin and his biffle Antonio Brown at WR. Then add in Gronk and Brate at TE and the Buccaneers have a fully loaded team that looks unstoppable. That is if Tom Brady can just play great. The problem in their losses this season have been that he has NOT played great. He's played terrible. He is awful against the blitz whereas Patrick Mahomes is unstoppable against the blitz. Tom Brady is going to need to continue having great bounce back games after poor games to keep up with Mahomes and the Chiefs. The Chiefs D is going to need to play a lot better then they did against the Raiders last week. I am expecting a shoot out and I am expecting a lot of fun with all these SUPERSTARS and FUTURE HALL OF FAMERS playing in this game. I don't expect to be let down. Last time these two awesome QBs faced off, the Patriots won the AFC Championship in Overtime as Patrick Mahomes stood on the sideline unable to get onto the field once in the game. This time, I think we get sort of the same. I am calling this game going into OVERTIME, but THIS TIME, the Chiefs will win the coin toss and THIS TIME Patrick Mahomes will not allow Tom Brady to get onto the field as he will lead his team down the field and hit Travis Kelce for the 2nd week in a row for the Game Winning TOUCHDOWN! Chiefs win a thriller in overtime! PS- I will be doing my best to take over the drivers seat from mikec on this bandwagon, even though he is grandfathered in. GO CHIEFS! 4EVA~! Kansas City Chiefs win 40-34 in OVERTIMESUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALLChicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers- It's the return of the, oh wait, you're kidding, he didn't just say what I think he said, did he?! NICK FOLES IS DEAD, HE'S LOCKED IN MY BASEMENT! Yes, this is the return of Mitchell Trubisky and that should frighten UT as crazy as that sounds. Mitch is everything Nick Foles is and that's mobile and can extend plays. Nick Foles is a sitting Napoleon Dynamite DUCK who was pretty fucking awful for this offense if we're being fair. Matt Nagy sucks, too. He needs to go after this season. I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million more times. He is NOT this Offensive Genius he was being made out to be when he was signed. This poor defense never gets a chance. The big difference between Nick Foles and Mitch Trubisky is that neither man alone or combined is HALF THE MAN OR QUARTERBACK that Aaron Rodgers is. This isnt going to be no shoot out where Rodgers lights them up. This is going to probably be a one score game, but the Packers got Aaron Rodgers and I'm not betting against that in this match up. Even though Green Bay sucks against the run, it will not matter because David Montgomery sucks. PERIOD. The Bears will keep it close, because of their defense and Trubisky will probably score a rushing TD. However, he will try too hard to please a once angry Allen Robinson by trying to force feed him and the difference maker, X Factor, whatever you want to call a candidate for DPOTY is.... Jaire Alexander. The Packers win this one by 6 because Jaire Alexander picks it off in the final minute in Green Bay territory as Mitch tries to lead his team into the end zone for the win. This Green Bay win locks up the division for the Packers. Not completely, but basically. One BOLD PREDICTION; Jimmy Graham scores a TD against his former team just to piss UT the fuck off. Green Bay Packers win 27-21MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALLSeattle Seahawks @ Philadelphia Eagles- The Seahawks got a huge victory last week against their division rival Cardinals and remain undefeated at home. However, they have 3 losses on the road and they are going to come in to face off a pissed off Philadelphia Eagles team! So pissed off that it ERTZ their souls! Ha, Zack Ertz joke because he might be coming back this week. They will have watched Washington (and maybe the Giants) jump ahead of them in the standings heading into Monday Night and will go for it all in this one. The Seahawks have an awful secondary and if Carson Wentz can't get it done in this game then he needs to be benched. HE NEEDS TO GO! I have a feeling Philadelphia can win this game, because Seattle is not great on the road BUT I JUST CAN'T SEE IT! I had a feeling the Eagles could beat the Browns last week and they didn't. They actually got their asses kicked. It's hard to know which Carson Wentz is going to show up. The one we have seen recently or the one who knows he is fighting for his job and for his teams division lead/title. One thing I do know for sure is which Russel Wilson will show up and it'll be the usual dominant Russ who will most likely have a returning Chris Carson come back to help him carry the load. I'm going with the Seahawks by 10. Seattle Seahawks win 38-28

Very rare occasion where I'm cheering for the Jets tomorrow. Would love them to pull off their first win and drag Miami down to the depths of AFC East hell with them a little further.
Buffalo SHOULD win tomorrow, but as we all know, they struggle in games they should win. Blow out Seattle? Piece of cake. Beat a lesser, struggling LA team? Whoa there, bud. Slow down.

James Conner on the COVID list. Waiting a second result to see if the first was a false positive. I say they just cancel the game honestly. Jonathan Taylor on the COVID list for high contact. If he tests positive he will surely miss another week also. Big deal for Tennessee as the Colts will now be without Taylor and Buckner on Defense. Tua is doubtful for this game tomorrow which means it’s Fitzmagic time Blindy. Busy ass news day.

The Detroit Lions have fired Matt Patricia and GM Bob Quinn.
Crazy how I wanted Patricia to coach the Giants when that position was vacant. Let’s see what direction they go with HC and what GM takes over. Their first task as GM will be to figure out this Kenny Golloday contract. Maybe even time to move away from Stafford soon and draft a replacement.

The Jets want that #1 pick , and even though I haven’t watched a ton of them this year the games I’ve seen recently showed to me that they haven’t blatantly quit on him.
The Lions flat out quit on Patricia and weren’t even trying at points.

The Jets just suck. Adam Gase is a goner after the season anyways.
Classy move by Detroit to wait until after Thanksgiving to make the firings. Patricia will surely get a job as a DC next season though. Maybe go back to New England or something.
The Kenny Golloday situation is something we haven’t touched on, but this “injury” that has kept him out of majority of the games this season just feels fishy to me. I’m not trying to be a conspiracy theorist but the man is trying to make sure he gets paid by the organization before he goes out there and risks an injury that destroys his stock. Babytron has been as good as advertised for the Lions so I think you can say he either quit on the teams leadership OR did the right thing for himself. Or of course he really is injured and can’t play. Makes me feel bad for soldiers like Marvin Jones who keeps going out there and banging his body up for the team.
Also didn’t the Lions give away Darrius Slay because he wasn’t getting along with “defensive genius” Matt Patricia? I’m starting to shy away from those names. Matt Nagy was supposed to be an offensive genius too and the Bears suck on offense. The Lions have never been an above average team with Patricia on defense and they were a far better overall team before him.

The Lions flat out quit on Patricia and weren’t even trying at points. They finally have 3 WRs worth a damn in Mims, Crowder and Perriman out there and Becton is staying healthy(knock on wood) as he is the best offensive player by far on the side. Now if Darnold can just do the same, he is maybe the 2nd(or 3rd if you favor Crowder) player on the offense. Sucks that Brian Poole, Pierre Desir(Who deserved to be cut), Blessuan Austin are all out, that was their projected top 3 CBs and while 5th round Bryce Hall has stepped in admirably and did as best he could against Keenan Allen(Who set a Chargers record in REC), he is not a no.1 CB. He came off a brutal injury and slid to round 5 based off of that and without a real pass rush, he is doing as good as he possibly can but this secondary is awful. This defense really is wounded and all kinds of shit to be honest. Shame Miami could not get Tua on the field, this is as do right of a game as he is going to have. Jets have Raiders, Browns Rams, Seahawk and Pats after today. Outside of the final week which I am convinced Belichick will do everything in his power to throw if JAX is in striking distance for Lawrence, Jets will be pounded in a majority of these games. MAYBE Oakland if their notoriously awful traveling to the 1PM East Coast games happen and maybe if Goff or Mayfield just bomb it up but I doubt it.

Was 50/50 on my last keeper after Kamara, CMAC and Barkley, THANK GOD I chose Josh Allen over Galladay. Whew. Patricia had guys running marathon sprints a couple days prior to gameday for preparation and to no surprise, they came out flat as flat can be.

I don't understand allowing the Ravens to delay their games but making the Broncos play the Saints today. It's such bullshit. The Saints who are in a race for the #1 seed get what is probably a gimme win.

The reporting seems to indicate that the Broncos are in this predicament because their QB’s broke protocol by having meetings without masks and then weren’t honest with the NFL about it.

Didn’t the Ravens coach do the same/similar things? Can’t remember dudes name.
