OK I like the bottom 3 but having to discuss and choose 1, I will go with Falcons @Broncos. I want to see what Denver's secondary does against Ryan and Julio ,after the video game no#s they put up Sunday

 

[packerzrule]

agreed that ATL @ DEN will be the marquee matchup for this week

a bit intrigued by the Bills/Rams game - good test to see if both teams are for real

Vikings / Texans should be a good game.

 

[bksballer89]

Saints vs Bye week should be good. Bye week may put up 28 against that defense.

I would like to slap you for putting the Cards/49ers

 

[bksballer89]

Giants/Packers should be on the list.

@packerzrule let us down once again

Cards fighting for their very lives so thought it would be a good matchup

Great test for our defense/their offense. Should be a great game.

These are the two games for me. Rams after that opening game embarrassment have actually looked decent but it always seems like it is against divisional opponents. So can they actually win outside the division? And for the Bills they have taken down 2 teams that most figured would be possible Super Bowl picks so are they actually better than people think or just got lucky with some things going their way?

And of course the Broncos/Falcons game. Beyond just being the homer pick you have the 2 divisional leaders. You have maybe the best offense in the NFL going against maybe the best defense in the NFL. You have a secondary that has been playing out of their minds against top QB's going against the top ranked QB in the NFL right now. You have Talib who this past game caught more passes than what were caught against him as a Corner going against maybe the best WR in the NFL. Just a lot of great story lines. Oh and one that many don't realize is that the OC for the Falcons Kyle Shanahan got most of his coaching time under Kubiak who hired him when he went to Houston and eventually had him as the OC for the Texans. So they run very similar schemes on offense.

Another game that I will be checking in on is CIN @DAL

A stern test for Dak to see how he handles a stout defense and even a better test for the Bengals to prove they are not as shitty as they appear to be

 

[TP76]

Cardinals @ Niners?

Battle for the basement?

 

[redseat]

Falcons V Broncos

I want to see if Matty Ice can have back to back quality games and can the Broncos hold onto their mojo?

RAIDERS VS Chargers could be a good one

RAIDERS VS Chargers could be a good one

I would say to the rest of the NFL world not really a great game at least compared to most of them listed above. San Diego has maybe had a more miserable season than even Cleveland just because of the way they find new and exciting ways to lose games.

As an AFC West fan though yes this game excites me. I am guaranteed to be happy and sad at the same time no matter who wins or loses. At the same time good chance to see more of who these teams are. The Raiders defense has looked a little better recently but that is against 2 of the worst offenses in the NFL right now in Tennessee (worst offense in the NFL) and Baltimore (bottom-10 offense). So they now play another top-10 offense (scoring wise) this week so if they go back to how they played those first two games then we will know they are still a very weak unit that only can do well against inferior opponents and will need the offense to just continue to light up the scoreboard to keep them in games. Kind of reminds me of the Saints the last few years. Great offense hurt by a bad defense. So again just have to see if they are making strides or actually just not what people thought they would be.

Atlanta @ Denver. Time to see if Atlanta pulls their usual get their fans excited just to let them down? I'm hoping this one goes down to the wire. Keep it close and even if you lose Atlanta you're still a contender. Get blown out and you're likely on your downswing.
