Baltimore offense quickly off the field to start the half.

We're about to see if this is going to be a game.

And the Lions first play of the second half is a pick six gg.

The Lions scoring with 0:00 left on the clock only to miss the PAT and still be trailing by two scores feels so very Lions

And the Jets rough the passer on a hail mary to give up a field goal on an untimed down to end the half.

...Yep.

That late TD keeps the Bills in the game. Needed to have it.

Reports of the Eagles demise appear to have been greatly exaggerated

oh no lions

please score more points

Why does Seattle already have 24 points

Eagles already tied it. Not surprised.

Also I didn't even give picking the Colts consideration. They were a 4.5 point favorite.. And the Titans were the favorite in picks.

That one's not gonna go well for Vegas.

Chicago doesn't want to account for Jones bootlegging. Even when they've done it 8-9 times already, almost all of them super successfully. Insanely frustrating

He was standing on the 12 and it was obvious he was capable of jogging into the end zone. Didn't even need to run.

Healthy Saquon is terrifying.

I can't confidently pick the Steelers this year, even against the Jets

Plenty of time for the Bills to turn this around and Baltimore's defense will likely be accommodating

I picked them because I thought Wilson would give them enough points to win.

I gave them a 3 in confidence.

Also the Bears sans Montgomery are dominating the Giants D, they just haven't been able to get it into the end zone. Maybe they're starting to figure it out a bit.

A bit.

Allen is 3/9 and an interception against the worst ranked pass defense.

This feels like a continuation of the implosion against Miami.

They've been sending terrible Jags teams to London to get blown out for years and the game still sells out, so it doesn't seem to matter much!

They won last year!

cbs just displayed the "Zach Wilson - No INT in last 156 pass attempts" graphic.

pick 6 incoming

I actually would've considered taking the Jets if Flacco were still in. Against that defense I expect 3 picks from Wilsom today.

Leonhart4 posted...

They rarely send two good teams to London because most good teams don't want to sacrifice a home game to go

That's why you send teams that can male for a competitive game. They don't actually have to be good. We know what the Giants are. The Packers will probably be wasting the 4pm slot on a blowout today too, but at least the Patriots weren't a known yet. They knew when they scheduled that game they were giving them a massacre.

I made my first change of the season to said Giants though. I still think they're worth pretty much nothing nothing, but the Bears without Montgomery to lead that offense are probably only going to win this game if Jones gives it away.

Which is possible!

Never a doubt

Go mash the commies Dallas

Would've been good from 60 again.

Next week at London: 50% of the country suicide picks the Packers and watches them mash the Giants.

Seriously who the hell planned that for a London game?

If Man City v. Man U weren't being paywalled by NBC I'd be watching that instead.

I guess we get to see how early morning Kirk Cousins played compared to primetime.

Impressive opening drive. Maybe early morning Cousins is filled with power.

How in lord's name is Dallas only a 2.5 point favorite? Another horrendously insulting line for the Cowboys.

Level 3:

Dallas (-2.5)
Detroit (-4.5)

Bonus: Lions

Change Detroit -4.5 to Minnesota -2.5.

Change bonus to Bills

Didn't watch the first, didn't even know there was a second until reading this topic

Probably just going to be that guy

But it had to be someone

Yep. Not surprising.

At least one person was getting the Axe over this.

All aboard The Hoyercraft

Changing from Bears to Giants

I've known for years that the only reason I still watch football is I continue to give myself an incentive to watch. Blade stopped bothering like 5 years ago. I know one of these years I'm going to do the same and it's just going to be a clean cut out like I did with college sports.

(Also participation in youth football is basically dropping every year, and moments like this are a good part of why. That's like the one stat they'd actually be worried about).

Love the quote "He got checked out and it's nothing more serious than a concussion."

Dear lord the tonedeafness.

The Bills game was the Bills forgetting to execute at key moments of a game they thoroughly dominated. I just chalk it up as a clunker and every team has those.

And the Cowboys are who they get in week 6. I want to see how their offense holds up against that defense.

I had them as the NFC 6 seed in the preseason, but I haven't seen enough to buy into them as worldbeaters yet... Not until they prove their consistency against a team that matters.

Being 4-0 on TNF all in contested games feels like it's keeping me afloat.

Anyways I'm still not at all sold on the Dolphins, but with their upcoming schedule they have a lot of wins coming up so they'll be fine.

And for the last undefeated team, I'm not really sold on the Eagles, either. They haven't played an actual contending team yet, and I don't feel like we'll learn anything about what the Eagles really are until weeks 5 and 6.

I do go meow <3

Imma pet!

After that run by Teddy I'm wondering if the Dolphins are going to tack on yet another unconvincing win.

Yeah they're "investigating" that game last week.

I kinda suspect he's going to be out for a little while because he shouldn't have played here. Part of why I took the Bengals was suspicion that Tua wouldn't last the game.

(And then Teddy comes in and effortlessly leads a TD drive)

Vegas doesn't believe in Cooper Rush

Counterpoint it's Washington.

How in lord's name is Dallas only a 2.5 point favorite? Another horrendously insulting line for the Cowboys.

Level 3:

On a side note, trying to play mafia with Covid was a bad idea.

Cincinnati Bengals
Minnesota Vikings
Cleveland Browns
Dallas Cowboys
Detroit Lions
Tennessee Titans
Chicago Bears
Philadelphia Eagles
Pittsburgh Steelers

Los Angeles Chargers
Arizona Cardinals
Green Bay Packers

Probowl DEAD.

Thank God. Replaced with a week long skills competition and a flag football game.

The combine is more entertaining than the current pro bowl

So a fake football game replaced by... A different fake football game?

I haven't played any of these games in years and Imma just wait for this to come out so I can nostalgia dive in style.

There's a reason Miami got "thrashed" and still won and it's not because they're bad

It's because the Bills couldn't get out of their own way when it mattered.

Like throwing a 4th down pass directly into the ground.

colliding posted...

Dolphins and Colts win, KC and Buffalo are FRAUDS

Miami is that "blessed" team this year. Bills will be fine.

Leonhart4 posted...

Then you're doing a disservice to Miami being a good team but go ahead

After that thrashing, I'm still not convinced by Miami at all.

Just saw that Mills interception.

...Yeah there's a reason this guy is on Houston.

Leonhart4 posted...

Nah, Miami stopped them when they had to, don't put all the blame on Buffalo here

Yeah I'm going to put the blame on the team that outgained their opponent by 275 yards and 16 first downs and still found a way not to get it done.

More like Buffalo beat themselves. It's very rare to see a team dominate a game this thoroughly and find a way to give it away.

(The statistics say Buffalo should've won by 21+)

Vikings score an instant TD and take the lead so fast that the Lions still have time.

But... Lions.

colliding posted...

poor raiders

They did it to themselves when they got 6 points on four consecutive drives that were at least into FG range.

MysteriousStan posted...

Butt safety

"Safety is super bad here."

Lions miss a field goal, and the Vikings are somehow STILL alive.

Leonhart4 posted...

Dolphins nonsensically throw on 3rd down when the Bills have no timeouts

They don't want to win this game I guess

And they did it at their own 1 which is risky as hell. Safety is super bad here.

swirIdude posted...

Bills successfully killing all of the time so the Dolphins can't come back to win.

Or just completely blowing another drive

451-213 yards, 29-15 first downs, 38:59-19:07 possession time.

And they're gonna lose.

Did KC just lose

Uh.

Raiders just converted 4th and 15 with a 48 yard pass.

Raiders have dominated the second half so hard.
