Pats at ravens. We'll see what Lamar can do against that excellent defense. Should be a good one

I went Pats @ Ravens with Queens @ Chiefs as second.

NE@BAL is my pick as well.

Sneaky good game could be IND@PIT. Wildcard implications on the line. Steelers are still a desperate team.

Zimners D vs Andy Reids O

Doesn't get much better than that.



Watching 67 year old Belichick humiliate young lamar Jackson won't be worth watching for long.

New England and Baltimore easily. I think Lamar Jackson is overrated as F all... he's NOT a good QB from a throwing perspective (has that stupid flick throw, always looking to run) and injuries with how he runs will start piling on soon. Another game I'll be rooting for the Patriots.

Outside of beating up on the pedestrian Dolphins (which he did do well I'll give him that) Lamar Jackson has been incredibly mediocre as a passer this year... yet analysts can't stop gushing about him and saying, "Check out his passing, it's so good!" Yah... right.

Lamar will get trounced by Bill who unlike the terrible Ken Norton in Seattle actually knows how to gameplan against his run.

He has an 80.4 QB rating since week 1 and has been playing mostly shitty defenses. Pittsburgh was the only serviceable one he played where he looked TERRIBLE.

I went Pats/Ravens as well. Could be a close one. The kid may get schooled but his D may also bail him out.
Vikes/ Chiefs could be good too.

Pats/Ravens should be good...

I went with the favorite...NE @ BAL.

Ravens are not an easy team to get ready for, but BB and crew are the best in the business at game to game preparation. Should be a good one.

Other notable games of interest.

IND @ PIT...the homer in me obviously picking this one, but a win gets PIT back to .500 with 8 to play. For IND...currently they hold the 2 seed due to tie breakers...a win keeps that intact.

MIN @ KC...The Chiefs have lost 3 of the last 4...they really need to stop the bleeding after a good start. Personally I wouldn't play Mahomes until after the bye which is next week...with Mahomes practicing last week Reid no doubt will be interested in getting he franchise QB back on the field this week.

I took the Vikes vs. Chiefs. I think that by far will be the best game, but I am interested in the Colts/Steelers game as well.

Yep...BAL is such a different animal to defend, and couple that with me already thinking the NE DEF is not as good as the clippings...I see this being a good game...especially in BAL.

MIN @ KC...Unless he's as fast or running faster than he was before the injury...I would not play Mahomes this week, but having lost 3 of the last 4, and Mahomes practicing some last week, Reid has to be starting to feel antsy.

Steelers get a team that has adjusted to it's new QB...IND will be up and down on OFC much like any team with a backup QB as the starter. I can see that being a close, lower scoring game...a turnover might decide it.
