The Texans seem to have a mental block when they have to play a top team. They never seem to play well. I know against us they just went into their shell and were very ineffective when we didn't stack the box on Foster and were willing to let them pass it.

Similar for the Falcons. They are a team that you can rattle who benefit greatly from playing almost every game indoors.




I see the Saints players got their punishments vacated. Absolutely ridiculous IMO. The Saints as a whole got off very lightly.

Big turn around for me, winning 0 games last year to being 5th rank this



I even gave Dar130 his 1st loss. Cant see me progressing past week 1 though. I am not confident on how my RB's have been playing the last 2 weeks.

another week on the horizon so lets have another prediction post. I went 10-6 last week so can anybody beat me this week?? my predictions are:

Green Bay @ Chicago - Green Bay
Giants at Atlanta - tough call, Il go Giants
Tampa @ NO - Brees to get back to form. New Orlean win
Minnesota @ Rams - Minnesota and AP for win
Washington @ Cleveland - Il say Redskins close win
Jacksonville @ Miami - Miami with home advantage win
Denver @ Baltimore - Denver to win on the road
Indy @ Houston - Houston to get another win
Carolina @ Qualcomm - my lads to win 2 on trot
Seattle @ Buffalo - love this seattle team at moment so i say them
Detroit @ Arizona - surely only 1 winner here, Detroit
Pittsburgh @ Dallas - Romo to keep up his good form
Kansas @ Oakland - both very poor but Oakland to win with better pass game

Not including thursday game you have missed out 2 other games
NE to beat 49ers and Jets to beat Titans

Atlanta
NO
St Louis
Washington
Miami
Baltimore
Houston
Carolina
Buffalo
Detroit
Pittsburgh
KC

sorry, my bad.

I would of obviously had Cincinnati to beat Philly and also

New england to beat 49ers
il go Tennessee to beat Jets at home as well.

Big game sunday. Beat the Falcons and if the Skins and Cowboys lose the division will be wrapped up.

This is the best part of the year for american football fans with the NFL nearing the playoffs and college teams about to start bowl season.If you've got Sky and ESPN thats 50+ pressurized games to watch in the next month

They haven't turned up...the Skins & Cowgirls will be breathing down your necks

A bumming for the Giants. Green Bay + refs going to win over the bears.

Baltimore blowing up a tad as well...makes you wonder if both them & the Giants have taken the foot off the gas towards the end of the regular season, as they have looked comfortable in the respective divisions most of the year...divisions that they usually have to battle at all season.

We just aren't consistent. We were down early today. Need the d- line to step up. They set the tone.

As a D Lineman, I have learned to always blame the linebackers. As long as we're in our gaps, we've done our jobs.

Brady showing why he's second best in league behind Peyton.

Good to put another one on the Bears. We have an excellent recent record in our division.

It'd be nice to have gotten the #2 seed but I'm quite pleased we don't get a week off. We are getting on a decent roll and the running game/D is reminiscent of our SB year. Plus getting healthy again. Rodgers is bubbling nicely and showing everyone why he is clearly the best QB in the NFL.

Quite happy/confident to have to go to Candlestick/Georgia Dome and win.

Yeah, he was great at Metlife the other week. Even the NFL analysts saying he's amking alot of bad decisions and is responsible for alot of the sacks he is taking. Not even in the MVP conversation. Brady, Peyton, AP.

As the Chargers are on decline mode this season ive found myself falling in love with the Seahawks. Pete has done a cracking job there recently and they are a great team to watch. Russel Wilson is the rookie on fire at the moment and cant go wrong. With him and Lynch now seeing eye to eye I really do think they will be a class act in a season or 2. Feel like they could do with strengthening there Receivers but apart from that they look strong.

That didn't go so well did it?



Redskins are red hot right now. Even the porous defence has tightened up somewhat since the bye week.

I hope that us and the Cowboys both win next week so that the season finale at Fedex field will be for the NFC East title. The stadium will be rocking.

Yep.

Brady was great when he got beat at home by the Cardinals.

If leading the league in passer rating, second in TD's (36) while only throwing 8 picks and guiding your team to a division title is making a lot of bad decisions then i'm happy to have a mistaken laden QB.

Didn't say he was MVP - I said he is the best QB in the league. Which he is. MVP at this point should go to AP.

Season finally over for the Rams. Massive improvement over last year and hopefully we can go one step further and make the playoffs for the first time in almost a decade next season.

Impressive looking win for the 49ers last night. Don't think they win again in a rematch though. 4 turnovers + a very efficient offensive performance looked to have won them the game. Can't see the Patriots being that sloppy if they play them again. I'd hate it if that was the Super Bowl matchup. I'd want both teams to lose!

Peyton
Brady











Rodgers

I will give you that he is 3rd best, not near the other two this season. Last season I think he was great until he got stomped out.

I like your thinking



Whatever happens in the rest of the regular season (and playoffs

) the Seahawks are building a great side for the future.

Go on then, I'll bite. How are those two better than him?

Both pass for alot more yards and don't have the advantage of a great recieving core that Rodgers has. Both don't take as many sacks as they are much better at getting rid of the ball. Rodgers holds it too long which leads to alot of his sacks. Better at getting the ball downfield despite having less weapons.

Why do think they're both in the MVP conversation and Rodgers isn't?

It's hard to argue with you when you just make stuff up/over-exaggerate things Mark.

Translation - " he's right I have no comeback"

As I've always told you. Those aren't my opinion, those are facts.
