Bad desperation challenge by a coach who doesn't trust his team and knows going down by 10 is probably death.

I dunno, I think the personnel are more to blame than the head coach at this point

Rhule is an absolute clown. Quick to throw people under the bus before taking any blame, switches QBs like it's the preseason, turned down a chance to have Fields or Jones but went with Sam fucking Darnold, turned Carolina into Baylor 2.0, and compared himself to Jay-Z.

Worst coach in franchise history. I don't blame Luke Kuechly for retiring; if I knew Matt Rhule was gonna be my new boss, I'd retire too.

12-4 is a really solid week and my best relative week since week 1 of the entire season.

But the Raiders won only their second game in the last 20 years at a -3 turnover differential and 13-3 would've been so good I'd actually feel safe.

Thanks for not letting them give away the game, Broncos. You suck~

I am doing my best to be respectable at the end and taking risks. Vikings almost paid off!

There are exactly three upsets next week I am even considering picking.

The Dolphins, Cardinals, and Steelers. That's it. The Cardinals only because they only ever seem to show up this year as an underdog, and Dallas may crash after blowing up Washington, the Dolphins because there's a small chance that the people who went onto Tennessee's Covid list today won't be ready yet for the game and their offense will struggle against the Dolphins' defense (also I want them to keep winning). The Steelers because... AFC North. That's it. "Because AFC North"

Other 13 games? Yep no. It'd take a lot for me to even think about take the underdog in any of them.

Probably just going to end on all 16 favorites. It's not a great week.

The 49ers, Browns, and Cardinals, all should've won their games and all found ways to kill themselves.

The start of the week was odd.

The Dolphins defense is not bad and the Saints offense was Alvin Kamara and nobody else. Them only scoring 3 points was not hard to see coming at all.

Kamara has quietly been awful this year statistically.

(because they have no one on offense)

If you score less than 10 on the bucs defense, 'oh boy'

Although the Bucs defense is getting healthy at the right time, so I am back on the "I dont know if we're losing round 1 or winning the super bowl" like I was last year

Anyway there are currently 4 teams favored by 13 or more next week.

And there are 7 teams favored by roughly a TD.

The other 5 are:

Chiefs (5)/Bengals
Dolphins/Titans (3.5)
Eagles (3.5)/WFT
Rams (3.5)/Ravens
Browns (-3)/Steelers

Titans, Eagles, and Rams should all be favored by more.

I felt last year they would either destroy WFT in round 1 and then get stomped out, or struggle with WFT in round 1 and dominate everyone else.

It just felt like that kinda year.

And they mentioned during the game that Kamara has already exceeded his career total for touches in a season despite missing 4 games this season.

They're basically baking him out there.

I'm leaning toward the Steelers because it's Ben's last home game and there may be some extra motivation for them to win that one

but it's the AFC North and I am destined to pick nearly every Browns game incorrectly

It's curious that I picked the Steelers without thinking about it.

Ultimately the best place to be is whichever team is favored because you genuinely don't have a single clue who's going to win!

Like, if 80% of the league is on the Browns as I suspect, there's like, no way in hell I am subscribing to that kind of risk on an AFC North game. No thank you!

I already hit an extremely dangerous pick in the Bills this week that was way more dangerous to me than I had any business staying on given how little faith I had in it.

My playoff chances swung massively from that game.

A Bills win put me alone in 11th ahead of a 4-way tie for 12th.

A Patriots win put me in a a 3-way tie for 14th a game behind a 3-way tie for 11th.

I'm.. Not exactly inclined to risk a pick that will reverse that gain. Not on the AFC North!

I'd be in 7th if the Broncos had just let the Raiders give them the game.

Carson Wentz is on the Covid list for the Colts, and he's unvaccinated, so he won't be playing against the Raiders.

Their backup is Sam Ehlinger, a sixth round rookie from Texas.

Jonathon Taylor vs. a team that just held Denver to 18 yards on 16 carries and Melvin Gordon specifically to -4 yards on 7 carries.

Let's see just how bad Denver is!

It's possible that he can play if they pass the new protocols and the test happened on Monday, though.

...I'll stick with the Colts without any real hesitation regardless.

Colts are fine though. They either have to beat the Raiders or the Jaguars and they're in.

Yeah, the Colts are still in the driver's seat even if they lose, so they can afford a loss. It just means whatever slight hopes they had of winning the division are gone if Wentz is out.

I still have no idea why you were underselling the Dolphins defense the way you were.

Book needed to play a good game for the Saints to win. Kamara wasn't going to do jack crap on his own. Jonathan Taylor will be fine.
