---------------------------------------------------

And 33-16 ends up being the final score....

I realize they’ve played two elite teams, but with a little luck the Nexans could go into the bye 0-7. Yes, they would have to lose to the Titans and the Jags, but do you really think they can’t lose to the Jags? They’ll almost certainly lose both to the Titans. The Colts are hard to figure out. The Nexans also get the Lions, the Browns and the Bengals, but this team sucks so much that I can’t see any of those games as easy wins.

Anyway, the good news is the team’s first 2021 draft pick is in round three.

Have a nice Sunday and enjoy this latest hurricane.

How does Keke Coutee only show up for one play, the one play that derails the entire game, then disappear like he was almost never there?

What an unusual week in the NFL. Favorites went 15-0 with the Saints favored over the Raiders on MNF. They all didn't cover the spread but they all won. There's usually a few surprises......

--------------------------------------------------

Two tough games and the other teams haven't coughed up the ball, yet. Zero turnovers from the other team. Texans had an INT vs. Chiefs and an INT and Coutee fumble against the Ravens. The Ravens won time of possession today 34:47 to 25:13.

--------------------------------------------------

Steelers favored by 5-6 pts next week in Pittsburgh.

I had somehow forgot this. This is truly unbelievable. How do you go all in and trade away your entire future to put this team on the field?

Who knew Bob McNair was holding this whole thing together? Cal allowing BOB to do whatever he wants with no checks puts him in the "owners son who replaced dad and was worse" Hall of Fame already. Every one of these owners gives their lazy kid a job in the business side of the franchise and every one of these kids uses that silver spoon to destroy the franchise.

It's the NFL version of natural selection. It all evens out over time. Unless you're Houston.

Good players? I don't know, barrett, it's a bold strategy.

[HPF Bob]

Bold in the same way Gen Custer ordered his troops to charge ahead before his scouts returned because he thought it would give them the element of surprise. Kinda like running fake punts from deep in your own territory.
