I voted Eagles. I think the Dolphins are playing better but I don't see the Eagles losing 2 in a row, especially being at home. Go Saints tonight!

It should be a good game. I chose it because it is late on Sunday and hopefully we get more than 10 votes.

 

I went with the Rams this week in the Survival Pool. This was such a hard week. I don't love the pick but I did not feel confident about any game. If I advance this week, I feel good about to next week.

Steelers are always hard to pick against. They are so up and down and win games out of the blue you don't think they will win. I do think the Rams have the better team though and they are at home. I like your pick.

[VikingsFanInChennai]

Eagles pass coverage this year hasn't been as good as in previous years, that makes me think Dolphins will have a good game.

 

Eagles also haven't been scoring heavily like past couple of years, so I see a lot of rust that they need to dust up since their Super Bowl loss. Hurts also has been more methodic than ever before. 

 

As with most runner-up teams, Eagles have been different and has taken a step back but the talent in the roster is doing well enough to keep winning.

 

But, do they have it in to fight high scoring games like last year? 

 

As for Dolphins, if they go off flying, no one can stop them. But, if they get stuck like the Bills game, they could look miserable too as they don't seem to believe in themselves what they could achieve (probably due to lack of star players apart from Hill). When it comes easy, it's so Easy. When it gets tough and rough, what are they?

I'd feel confident on Rams if their RB had not been injured. They still couldn't miss a beat with next man up, but we just don't know.

 

It will be a huge challenge for Steelers to stop Puka and Kupp, so if Stafford plays well Rams are winning it, regardless of run game.

 

Another factor is the injury to TJ Watt, his wrist and fingers require surgery but he says he'd only have surgery in the off-season. Not sure if he's fully healthy to play through and how long, but as of now he's coming off Bye week after the injury.

 

Steelers defense, apart from Watt and Porter, haven't been great this year. They need more pass rush help and can't burden Watt like this. 

 

Rams defense, apart from Donald, is very fresh in experience and total unknown. They've been surprisingly effective though so far. 

 

You can pick Jaguars if Lawrence is healthy. Win or Lose, it will be known in next 4 hours  

 

I've picked Jaguars and 49ers in my Survivor pools.

I read the Pickett may be injured too. No?

 

This week was a hard week to pick. Let's see if I advance. There are only six or seven of us left standing.

[RollerColt]

I picked the Saints because I thought Lawrence was out. Whoops… 

 

Anyone watching the broadcast with Prime Vision?

[IndySouthsider]

Geesh that was easy. Jags are gonna be a problem for a decade.

[RollerColt]

Always have liked Derek Carr. I hope he finds success in New Orleans. Saints fans seem to be quite loyal to their QBs. 

[Solid84]

Fingers crossed the Jags lose. 

[RollerColt]

Huge fumble!

[RollerColt]

What on Earth happened on that punt?! Man Jags are sloppy tonight. 

[Solid84]

Come on put up 7!

Ugh..

[2006Coltsbestever]

Where were these fumbles against us on Sunday?? Against us they didn't fumble once . They are trying to give the Saints the game and they can't even score 7. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

The Saints are playing like a pile of puke on defense. 

[Solid84]

Yeah I’m done predicting Saints wins. Seems the Patriots game was a fluke. 

[runthepost]

Jags are a much better team than what most think

Bringing in Doug Pederson was huge for them. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

The Saints look bad, if they play like this vs us, we can definitely beat them, and the game is even here.

And taking Press Taylor from Indy.

[Solid84]

Good play by Kamara. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Carr can't even complete a 3 yard pass when it matters. That is 3 times now.

[IndySouthsider]

Minshew > Carr

Yeah, he’s playing horribly tonight. The Saints should be winning right now. The Jags have not been that impressive.

After what I have seen so far tonight, that isn't farfetched. 

[Solid84]

Their defense is pretty impressive. They’re basically shutting down the run with only a 7 man front.

Is it their defense is impressive or is it the Saints offense looks like Horse Dung?

[IndySouthsider]

Jags Oline has been keeping Cinderella clean in the pocket.

[RollerColt]

For a first overall pick, I feel like Lawrence just isn’t really living up to the hype. That 3rd down throw was way too high.

I don't think he has either. He is the best QB in our division but that isn't saying much. He is good but far from great.

And then he throws a pick.

Saints get the ball 1st to start the 3rd. Only down 14-6 but I don't have much faith in Carr.

[IndySouthsider]

Was that fake punt not the most telegraphed fake ever?

[runthepost]

Well that’s incomplete

Dude was looking right at the receiver. Poor moment for the coaching staff to not have their guys prepared. Situational football is a thing.

The Saints coaching staff has sucked in all 3 phases tonight. Their play calling on offense has been atrocious. Hell, Frank can call a better game than those clowns.

Not impressed with this staff. But hey they went out and got Carr. So. Yeah we could have figured this.

[RollerColt]

Wow. Just take a knee guys.
