I agree. I like Kirk and the Vikings. I do have them making the playoffs. As long as Philly or SF gets knocked off, it will be all good. The Lions have something waiting for Philly Jim Carrey Reaction GIF

I would love a Bengals/Bills vs. Vikings/Lions Super Bowl. That way one fan base finally witnesses a champion. 
 

I’m already sick of Philly and Nick.

I picked the Bills last year but they folded, having said that, I would be ok with any of the 4 teams winning it all you listed. Can Burrow stay healthy? He just got the huge contract. 

 

On my pick thread I had Lions vs Ravens in the SB. Repeating is tough, so I didn't pick the Chiefs and usually the SB loser (Philly) takes a step back.

@LJpalmbeacher2 OT prediction might come true..

 

Run LJ RUN... For the LOTTO... 

 

I may have had the wrong team winning BUT I got the 1 point margin right. :funny:

......I almost picked the Lions by 1  also, for me the game was a toss up. Kelce  being out was a red flag for picking KC as far as putting money on them. I think Payton is a real threat in that division even if they have to use smoke and mirrors. Lol 

 

I've hit a few PICK 6's on Greyhounds & Horses but never had any luck playing lottery.... but I don't hardly try betting ping pong balls. Ping Pong balls don't have a Beyer Figure. haha

I would l love to see the Fins play the Chargers. That game will be a real shootout.

The Steelers and 49ers could be a good one as well.

 

The Steelers and 49ers game is showing by me. I don't want to jinx them but I like the Steelers in that game. That should be a fun game.

 

Hopefully the Vikes beat the Bucs at home. The Bucs have a better defense than the Vikes have, but the Vikes offense should be potent this year, even without Dalvin Cook. 

 

Enjoy the games.

I have Jags at Colts, Then Packers at Bears on Fox.

Homer thinks Xfinity rules whos your daddy dancing GIF- Uverse and DirectTv just can't mess with a person's football. I called them last week and told them I was switching companies and explained to them why. My neighbor did the same thing, he had Uverse. My mom and Step-dad went Xfinity a month ago., they also had Uverse. 

 

I had Uverse for 10 years and 2 channels cost them my loyalty + I am paying less for Xfinity.

I have the same games except you have Colts, I have 49ers at Steelers. The Vikings are not showing here. I will listen on NFL+ and watching Red Zone.

 

What is Uverse? Is that a cable company like Comcast, Spectrum, etc?

Yep. They are really good but they messed up with this situation. Crap happens. Hey, I am shocked I am not getting the Vikings on CBS lmao . I usually get them at least 9 or 10 times a year haha

My cable company is not showing channels owned by the Disney company such as ESPN, ABC, FX, etc. Actually, it is Disney that has taken those channels off. I don't mind. I will watch the Giants game tonight on NFL+, as ESPN is off. My friend had invited me to the Giants game tonighy. I am glad that I declined because the weather is awful -- torrential downpours and thunderstorms.

Cowboys/Giants is on WTHR/NBC, I had to get ESPN because of Monday night Football.

Julian Edelman is annoying on Fox. He talks too much. 

 

Aaron Rodgers seems so much happier as a Jet. He looks so care free. I wonder what was going on in Green Bay that he looked so unhappy. He just said he loves "everything NY Jets". He looks invigorated. Watch out for the Jets.

How things have changed for the Pats! Matt Corral was picked up off waivers by the Pats. Corral does not want to play for them. He either did not show up or left. @Chrisaaron1023 what happened there? I know you follow the Pats. haha

Actually I had no clue about this.. lol I jabbed my pats buddy's when the released all their QBs but Mac Jones. I was like WTH are y'all doing?! :lol:

He signed Zappe and Cunningham to the practice squad but elevated Zappe to the active roster after Corral went AWOL. No one seems to know what is going on with him.

I'll be watching the Jags-Colts on FOX. 

 

My late games are Eagles-Patriots on CBS, Packers -Bears FOX.  I don't know which I'll watch, might switch between both games. 

 

I like Patrick Mahomes, but KC always being in the playoffs is annoying, like the Patriots were when they were always winning.

49ers already scored a TD. 7-0 49ers

Vikings ruined 3 good drives, Kirk fumbled twice and one interception... Lost 6 points there... And then, a neutral zone infraction in 3rd down against a struggling offense to lose 7 points in last 2 minutes?

 

They've set up a nice upset win opportunity for Bucs..

 

I hope Vikings do better, much better in second half or else, we'll be in trouble 😵‍💫 in no time

49ers r in great form... I have Aiyuk in 2 fantasy teams, both on bench and he scores 2 TDs... I guess I need to trust him more.

 

I read so many here predicted Steelers win. I didn't comment, but was wondering why everyone's overestimating Pickett and not valuing enough a great team like 49ers...

I will have to watch the game in its entirety after the game. Kirk will end up having great stats but when we had chances to score, he turned the ball over. :grumpy2:

Not here. Colts fans despise the Steelers. I don't believe they picked the Steelers. I did. 

 

Did the Colts second half start yet? Lets talk Colts. I am rooting for AR and Josh Downs.

What's up with Davenport?

 

I didn't follow much on injuries, was he already going through something?

Addison had a 39 yard TD and caught both passes to him, so good start so far.

 

TEs did well too...

 

As I predicted, run game is bad. Mattison is doing well, but Ty was pathetic. I don't know why they even gave so much carries to Ty, Mattison should get BULK of carries! If not all..

 

This is NFL general game thread to talk other games other than Colts, right? Maybe, you got confused...

    • Well, not a good look.  Doesn't seem to be the actions of a committed leader.   
    • We desperately need Cross to become a player.  And Cross training Harrison is wise. 
    • Something seems off on the timeline.     When the Colts drafted AR in April of 23, Ballard told the story of Morocco Brown finding Richardson in August of 22 during the Florida Gators summer camp leading up to the start of their 22 season.  Brown found him and called Ballard and talked about finding this incredible talent.  Brown only had 13 college starts. I think it was 12 in 22 and 1 in 21.   He barely played at all in 2021.    I recently (the last 4-6 weeks) went back and looked at all the interviews from the 23 draft to hear again all the stories that were told about Richardson.  Ballard, Brown,  Dodds, and 4 scouts who offered insight.    Hope this helps. 
    • Richardson's point is well taken by anyone that's been in a leadership role in a trade or specific industry. Far easier to manage professionals that don't need help and are accountable than to lead college kids that are hardly accountable, and don't have a clue what is going on. I understood his point and don't think it's ridiculous to say. He doesn't have to worry about how he throws a ball to a guy that struggles to catch a certain type... He just has to throw it how it needs to be thrown and the receiver is accountable/ expected to catch the ball. He doesn't feel the responsibility to get others lined up properly, or tell them what route they are running/how they need to call the blocking scheme. It's their jobs to know. It's his job to read the defense and execute the play. Sad that a 22 year old felt that way about a multiple national championship program, but it's reality. There's a reason some serious talented players don't make it to, let alone in the NFL.
