Green Bay injected a bit of juice into this week's TNF by knocking off the Cowboys in overtime. All eyes will be on Christian Watson after his 3TD explosion, and his emergence plus the return of Randall Cobb bodes well for Aaron Rodgers down the stretch. The Titans have made it to 6-3 despite an almost non-existent passing offence (Robert Woods is their leading receiver with just 266 yards) on the back of good coaching and an underrated defence that likely regains superstar Jeffrey Simmons. 

In the 1pm window the Jets vs Patriots is a big one in the suddenly super competitive AFC East. This is obviously another significant game for the future of Zach Wilson, who bombed in the first matchup between these teams, but then rebounded with a much better effort against the Bills. Will they finally be able to end the 13 game losing streak against Belichick?

In the late afternoon the pick of the bunch is Cowboys vs Vikings, with Minnesota returning home after triumphing over the Bills in the game of the season and solidifying themselves as genuine contenders on the back of Justin Jefferson's performance for the ages. Dallas will be looking to bounce back after giving up a lead to the Packers, and suddenly this looms as a pretty critical game for them to stay in touch with their division rivals. 

Rounding Sunday we have the Chiefs looking to virtually secure their seventh straight AFC West crown against the Chargers. The division was supposed to be much harder this season but while all their rivals have faltered, Kansas City have just kept on keeping on. From their perspective it will be interesting to see if some of the promising signs out of the Jacksonville victory can continue - Isiah Pacheco's productive rushing, and Kadarius Toney's increased role in the offence. LA have Keenan Allen and Mike Williams back at practice, and having one or both suiting up would obviously give them a huge boost. 

The week concludes with the final international game of the season as San Francisco and Arizona head south of the border to play in Mexico City. Arizona have fared quite well against the 49ers historically, and have won 3 of the last 4 games by keeping the 49ers offence to an average of 17 points per game. It looks like they'll be without Kyler Murray for a second straight week, but given Colt McCoy's steady performance against the Rams, and the fact that he might have Hollywood Brown back, that might not be the worst thing. The 49ers turned in a workmanlike performance to earn the W against the Chargers, and can go to the top of the division with another win while the Seahawks are idle.  

Excellent write ups all season @admin.

I have this weird feeling the Colts are going to upset the Eagles this weekend. Maybe it’s just me but I think losing Goadert isn’t to be ignored. Plus AJ Brown is banged up. They can’t stop the run and I think Jonathan Taylor goes for 150/2 on them also. I might just like the Jeff Saturday story too much.

I think KC/LAC is going to be a close one and possibly end on a GW FG by Butker.

I think Packers win tomorrow too. 21-14.

Zach Wilson has loads of pressure to do well but so does Mac Jones and at home, he needs to have a good game. He looked pretty bad 3 weeks ago vs the Jets, and got lucky to not have a pick six tagged on him too. If Mac Jones does not have a strong start, you are going to hear loads of "WE WANT ZAPPE" chants.

Jets will try and run the ball and let that build the passing game. I am curious if this Elijah Moore in the slot experiment actually works out and gets him started.

Thanks bro appreciate the comment!

I think you raise a good point about the Eagles run defence. We were looking at their easy schedule as a big advantage for them getting the #1 seed, but their remaining opponents are some of the best rushing offences - Packers, Titans, Bears, Giants x2 so that might cause them a problem. They will get Jordan Davis back, and they signed former Giant Linval Joseph today so that might help.

How good are the Patriots slot corners?

Can't forget about Suh too.

Pretty good, they have like 3 or 4 Jones in their secondary. :lol: 

Looks like Suh is going to sign with the Eagles for a one year deal

The Doctor has joined the enemy, ex Chiefs champion. RT.

At least Philly knows their weakness and are attacking it.

The Browns vs Bills game has been moved to Detroit. Dammit was looking forward to the snow game.  see no  fun league treading on twitter and for for good reason

Bills play the Lions at Ford Field in DET on Thanksgiving so I think it was more to be protective of that game being played more than anything, especially if Buffalo is snowed in for a few days. 

(I agree with you though, I really love those blizzard games where anything can happen)

I like blizzard games but the Bills always lose them so I’m fine with this news.

I’m pretty pissed they moved it from the blizzard to Detroit. Really wanted to see Chubb run for 200 yards and to bet the under.

If you had pre-empted the move it would have been nice to take the over, the line must have increased pretty significantly. 

Ah fuck I missed the pick'em deadline. IDIOT. If the Titans win and I end up losing the league by 1 I'll be fuming.

Joe Barry ladies and gentlemen.

That’s the 2022 Packers.

The margin of error is so small man in this league.

When Double Vision is being played this early, this is going to be a long night. Packers D got folded real easy on this 1st drive. 

Wow that was remarkable.

The quick snap and Watson making a spectacular play on the ball.


Yup. Packers special teams are back.

Obviously great awareness by Rodgers to get the snap off, but really that was just a nice play by Watson in the end, Fulton was right there in coverage he just didn't get off the ground.

LaFleur is a complete idiot with his challenges.

This is half a yard short, I think it's a good one.

I think it’s a zero sum gain regardless they are going to go for it and probably get it.

You know Quays play is really up and down from a play to play basis but man does that dude bring an energy this team sporadically seems to lack. Got that Georgia swagger for sure.

Going three and out after your defense was just on the field for 20 plays is perfect, great play calls there.

They've been out there for about 30 minutes straight but the coverage by the Packers secondary is just so soft. Allowing easy third down conversions to Tannehill is just silly, got to get up and challenge these receivers, they aren't going deep on you.

It’s every game. No matter if we are playing Josh Allen or Taylor Heinecke. It’s legit the fatal flaw of Barry.

How the fuck they not going to call that hold that happened smack damn in the middle of the play? Lordy.

I love this TE Okonkwo for the Titans, he's averaging like 20 yards a catch.

I was just thinking about posting why Tennessee don't pass the ball to Henry, he's been bottled up in the run game, get him out in space, and there he goes.
