Tough week even without losing points on the spread. Not a week I would be betting real life.

I guess I'll just stack the homer interests...

Ugh. Just got to watch my decision be wrong in real time in split screen on Red Zone. What a botch by the Bears defense after the Ravens D did the same thing to give it to them. Should've gone with one of the NFC East teams on my list

If Mike White can send us all home, kudos to him

Obligatory kudos to Mike White, since he did throw for 400+ yards and 3 touchdowns. Should have stuck with my original plan of Chiefs.

At least the Titans pulled it out!

The Witness

Oof. I was happy enough to get eliminated by the Jets being the better team but man, that was a really terrible call and Burrow deserved a chance for a 2 minute drill. The defense did the job.

That being said, this is the second consecutive year I'm eliminated by the Jets, last year it was lolrams in week 15, this week it's the Bungles in week 8... consistent historical rules being enforced, lol.

Will the Jets ever break the historical rule of picking against them, though?

The Witness

WOW That is an utter garbage call in the Bengals game. If anything it was a penalty on the runner.

And, I spoke too soon about the Titans because our secondary still can't be trusted not to give up 50+ yards somehow in the most crucial moments.

ahahaha what an epic Bungling

I'm too happy about Wentz being Wentz and giving the Titans the division to care about being eliminated from suicide. Guess it was the week for the Chiefs, after all.

I don't even know what the Lions have to look forward to really. Swifty and Hockenson might be the only two players that would see the field on most other teams. And at this rate Swifty's window will close before the Lion's roster is worth anything

Nobody on the Lions wants to be there.

I have some food for thought on two games that probably won't get much attention... WAS/DEN and ATL/CAR.

ATL/CAR is two up and coming offensive play callers (coaches not qbs) on each side, Brady and Arthur Smith. and speaking of, it's a matchup of two relatively new wildcard HCs, Smith and Rhule.

WAS/DEN might be a game between two non-playoff teams but it's looking like a pivotal affair for both sides that will reveal a lot. Washington has beaten Atlanta and the Giants, but the schedule besides that has been brutal so far - basically the packers last week and 3 potential afc super bowl teams, the bills, chiefs and chargers. After this week they have a bye and then the Bucs, but after that they get their whole NFC East schedule, so a win this week and the season is maybe still salvageable.

Whereas Denver has 3 wins against the Giants, Jets, and Jaguars to start the season, has lost their last 4, and hasn't had the ball with the lead since week 3 against the Jets. They get jerry jeudy back this week and their 4 game losing streak has come to the ravens, steelers, raiders, and browns, so OK, maybe those are mostly playoff teams but the Broncos still have the bengals left and the chiefs and chargers twice each so if they can't beat the Wofters, it might be over.

Vegas doesn't believe in the Titans. This has been a running trend for the past 2-3 seasons. We were 5 point underdogs at home against Kansas City.

(but make no mistake, that's a trap game for Tennessee, we've always struggled against Indy)

also bet on Geno Smith at your own peril, that game feels like a stay away

I echo all of this. Vegas nor most sports writers ever trust the Titans to be consistent. And, to be fair, they are hard to predict. We certainly should win this game, but Colts games have an odd tendency to impose awful game scripts that seem less like coaching and more like random divisional parity.

Winston has passed for more than 250 yards only once this season and under 200 three times

But it's a revenge game :smirk:

Shockingly, in week 8 of 2021, I am more confident in the Bengals than the Chiefs.

Cincinnati Bengals

I was looking at the Chiefs for this week because they don't really have any easy games after this... but the Bengals don't reallllly have any either. Hopefully the Chiefs get rolling and become an easy pick later in one of the Broncos or Raiders games, perhaps.

No way I'm testing an AFC south divisional matchup with two qbs that aren't familiar with the rivalry.

Chiefs, Bengals, Bills all tempting but I'm gonna go a little more risky and try to save them.

Gimme the Packers. If Fields can beat a 4-1 packers team in front of his home crowd in his first ever start in the rivalry, I think Chicago might explode.

...yes, I realize I just dismissed an AFC south divisional rivalry in favor of a more storied NFC North divisional rivilary, but it still feels more sure to me.

As a Titans fan, I'm more worried about them blowing a game to the Texans or Jags than the Jets

Nah, they always come ready to play the division games... it's random games like this, especially with the WR injuries, that our bully-ball style sometimes doesn't show up for.
