Or is contending that. In this very post above DJSkilz who I was replying to said that Luck was in the conversation for best player in the game right now. The disagreement is that I don't think he is there yet. Who knows if he will ever get there but that I think is a good chance. In the conversation. He didn't say he felt that Luck is the best player in the NFL, just in the conversation. Right and I disagreed with that. That was the disagreement. No, you disagreed with "Luck being the best in the NFL right now." And DJSkilz never claimed that, he claimed that Luck should be in the conversation for best player in the game. Ergo my question who are you disagreeing with.

Pittsburgh at Baltimore - two underachievers. The Ravens have to be reeling from the events of this week. Meanwhile, the Steelers had to struggle against a very bad team. Normally I take the Ravens but I really don’t have any good feel for this one. I am guessing Ravens 17-13 based on urgency. SUN, SEP 14 NY Jets at Green Bay – Geno Smith still is up and down. Green Bay has to be fired up for this one and certainly can’t afford to go 0-2. Packers 31-13 Miami at Buffalo – both teams looked much better than I expected. Miami looked even better than Buffalo but until the Fish show me they can do this on the road I am going with the home team. Bills 23-21 Jacksonville at Washington – two really really bad teams. Washington can easily win this game by benching Griffin and going with Cousins. I think Griffin has one half of football to show he can lead the team into the end zone before Cousins takes over. Similarly, Chad Henne is a bad QB. If Jax sits Bortles one more week I am going with Wash assuming they bench RGIII if he is ineffective again – Wash 19-13 Dallas at Tennessee – Dallas looks like crap right now and the Tits routed the Chefs. This looks like an easy call for the Titans so I am going to go the other way and say Dallas pulls the upset. 27-24 Arizona at NY Giants – The Giants look horrible. The Cardinals offense is nothing to write home about either but at least their defense showed up last night. Until I see the Giants look like a NFL team I am going against them. Yeah, Dallas looked bad but they at least moved the ball and scored some points. The Giants looked helpless. New England at Minnesota – I think this is an evenly matched game. However, I am not yet sold on the Vikings secondary (see Shaun Hill as opposing QB) and the Pats have to have this game. Patriots 27-23 New Orleans at Cleveland – Saints totally threw away a win at ATL. Another playoff contender that can’t afford to go 0-2 in a really tough division. Not a fan of either Clev QB. Saints 31-13 Atlanta at Cincinnati – very good contest. I think a 2nd tier NFC team is better than a top AFC team however, this game is at Cin so I call it a toss up. Bengals 35-34 Detroit at Carolina – great matchup. Detroit is explosive and implosive. I think against a solid defense like Car that will cost them – especially with Cam healthy and ready to play. Car has its own Ray Rice incident going on also though. Carolina 27-21 St. Louis at Tampa Bay – The Rams are in the Marcus Mariotta derby after week 1. TB is no powerhouse but expect them to beat this toothless team 23-10 Seattle at San Diego – I was surprised at how inept the SD offense was last night. I expected them to challenge NE and Den for the AFC. With the offense I saw last night, I see Seattle winning a close one 23-17. Many people have this as a loss for Sea but to do that SD needs a lot more offense. Houston at Oakland – first team to double digits wins. Carr started off pretty well then fell apart. Houston showed their defense is for real. I like the Texans in a low scoring game 17-6 Kansas City at Denver – one of the few blowouts I see. Denver’s offense is moving well and KC looks helpless. Broncos 41-17. Chicago at San Francisco – SF not ready to pack it in yet. Their defense wasn’t dominating against Dallas – it was opportunistic. Kap really picked up his play and I think SF still has more weapons on offense and will give Seattle the best challenge in the NFC once they get Aldon Smith back. 49ers 38-24. MON, SEP 15 Philadelphia at Indianapolis – first team to 50 points wins! Eagles turned it around in 2nd half and blew out Jax. Chad Henne is no Andrew Luck. This should be a classic game that I think Luck wins on the last drive. Colts 41-37

Now that HGH testing is coming to the NFL, players will start getting smaller. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2014/09/13/nfl-new-drug-policy-three-things/15571205/

Bill Jandro -> RE: Predictions for Next Week (and maybe beyond) (9/13/2014 5:46:25 PM)
I predict AD gets a 2 game suspension. This is predicated on the case being plea bargained with no trial.

Bradley H -> RE: Predictions for Next Week (and maybe beyond) (9/16/2014 3:10:54 PM)
I think this is going to be a close game. The Saints hired one of the most over-hyped and least productive defensive coordinators in the league in Rob Ryan during the off-season. Through two weeks they have surrendered 446 yards-per-game against the Falcons and Browns.

ambear -> RE: Predictions for Next Week (and maybe beyond) (9/16/2014 3:15:51 PM)
Um....we lose.

David Levine -> RE: Predictions for Next Week (and maybe beyond) (9/16/2014 3:16:49 PM)
Rob Ryan was their DC last year as well. They finished the year 4th in points and yards.

Bradley H -> RE: Predictions for Next Week (and maybe beyond) (9/16/2014 3:17:32 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: ambear Um....we lose. I'm not sure about that. The Saints are not even close to the Saints from three years ago. Their defense is very shaky and their offense doesn't have many playmakers outside of Jimmy Graham.

All right, enough of this bullshit talk for the week. Time to get down to football. Just when I think the Vikings are dead, they stun me (and unfortunately vice versa). Attach Anthony Barr to Jimmy Graham's hip and you get a win. Minnesota 24 New Orleans 20

Attach Anthony Barr to Jimmy Graham's hip and you get a win. Minnesota 24 New Orleans 20 I don't think we win. Saints are up against a wall desperately needing a win, playing at home. Barr is too young to keep up with that talent. He's good but inexperienced. Graham will give the Vikings D fits. Vikings need to control the football and not make mistakes. I don't think we have the running attack with Asiata, Barnyard, and McKinnon to keep there offense off the field. But they have had a week to prepare for not having AD... so maybe they surprise me.

I don't put much stock into this, but for those who believe in the ability to have precognitive dreams... I had a rather vivid dream last night which relates to the upcoming game on Sunday versus the Saints. I was unable to view the game (which will be true since I'll be traveling that day during gametime). I happened to stop by a store during the trip and happened to see the game on a TV in their electronics section. Late in the 3rd quarter, the Vikes were up 34-9 and Teddy was leading them on a drive.

I noted the score, and saw Teddy was breaking the huddle.

Historically we have owned the Saints 20-10 I could give a ratts ass the Saints need a win. So do we and 30 other NFL football teams. Their defense has given up nearly 900 yards in two games. I say we kick them when their down. Take out some frustration on a weak tit defense.
