2nd year in a row that Reid has played his former QB Vick. Chiefs have good match ups across the board except for the Jets DL, which will probably cause a lot of problems for KC's OL.

Usual Reid gameplan will work great here, quick 3 step drop short passes that play to Alex's strengths and minimize the impact of the Jets run D and pass rush. Chiefs D is quietly one of the leagues best this year, especially against the pass, so I am not sure where the Jets will find scores.

28-17 KC

Cowboys defense is still not good and if the cardinals blitz half as well as the Redskins it will be a long day for the cowboys and probably another close loss.

The Steelers beat the Colts by lots and lots of passing

we have a coach that insists on running the ball, a decision which may have lost us the Cowboys game

So I was oddly on point about miami vs JAX so to continue my streak I will say this -

Miami has a great team. Capable of hanging with the Chargers. What they don't have is a head coach. They have a human ostrich that genuinely is afraid of game time decisions and will easily gently caress this up. Miami is a one half team. We can't be that against the San Diego Chargers.

Miami will out score San Diego in the first half and totally poo poo the bed in the second losing by 10 points. I'm basing this on mathews being out

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.
Texans will absolutely get beat by the Eagles, there is no way that McCoy in space will not wreck the entire defense. I dont know how good the Eagles defense is, but I'm willing to bet its good enough to not get a 40 burger put on it by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Hopefully Arian can continue his run to glory and Watt can do his best one man band impression for this not to be an embarrassing loss but I dont have much faith in that.

I agree mostly. This is probably the best matchup for us until the Raiders game. Although, there's always a couple of trap games in every season so let's just hope this one isn't it. Just please don't give up a huge game to old rear end Mike Vick plz

Jacksonville looks like it's going to be a good team soon, just not this year. It'll end up being close because their RBs are doing pretty well right now and our Run D is terrible, but our pass D is (based on one game) back to it's "bend don't break" policy. I think I read their Oline is pretty bad so I expect the Bengals' DC will call a lot of blitzes.

Last week I started my own pesronal analysis on the weekly games to help me get more in-tune with matchups. When I added up the games I called and the games I was wrong on, I found I was slightly worse than a coin flip. The only notable game I called right was the Saints over Packers, but not because of actual football reasons, so that hardly counts. I'm going to impose two new rules: if I make a judgement call, I must put in a football reason. Also, I am going to call more than who I think will win, I will also start describing how I think the game will go in some fashion. This will make me far less accurate, but I will also have to do more than a cursory lookup of the teams if I want to do better, and start to know more people on those teams.

Saints-Panthers: I'm not convinced this past week was the fluke. As the Redskins demonstrated yesterday, it's still possible for a good team to play bad, and a bad team to play well. Sometimes both at the same time. The Saints for as much as I dislike them, shouldn't be counted out, especially against a division rival. NFC South is looking like a dumpster fire, but right now, the Saints and the Panthers are both potential division winners. I like the Saints to win this one, dominating by more than 2 touchdowns. It's just far, far too easy to shut down Cam Newton because he has literally no good help. And whatever problems the Saints had on defense, they drat well should be cleaning it up by now. They had to in order to beat the Packers last week.

Cardinals-Cowboys: My family has been Cowboys fans for over 40 years now. God drat, that realization just came to me. Fortunately, I'm not on that bandwagon, and won't be again. Despite this past week's hot garbage game the Cowboys played against the Redskins, I still favor the Cowboys over the Cardinals, but by no more than one touchdown. This is all dependent on whether they can keep Tony Romo from getting sacked over and over again, though. If they don't, then the Cardinals are going to run over the Cowboys bad.

Eagles-Texans: I honestly don't know who should win this one. The Texans are doing pretty all right this season so far and might just keep it up. Nick Foles isn't looking that great, but LeSean McCoy is looking loving fantastic. The Texans are going to have to keep up the pressure on Foles to win with Watt and Clowney so Jackson doesn't outrun the Texans secondary. That said, I will call this as both teams scoring more than 25 points each due to both having serious holes in their respective defenses.

Jets-Chiefs: Chiefs. Lop-sided win by more than 2 touchdowns. Percy Harvin and Michael Vick won't make this offense function well enough to establish any sort of game against the Chiefs.

Jaguars-Bengals: I like the Jaguars. They're my adopted :shobon: team. But it's such a one-sided matchup that I can't in good conscience call it.

Chargers-Dolphins: Apparently, the Chargers haven't won in Miami since 1981. I say the Chargers break that losing streak on Sunday. San Diego will unfuck themselves long enough to beat Miami on offense through the run game with Branden Oliver on the ground and through the air with Antonio Gates and Keenan Allen running over the Dolphins. Chargers will hit around 29 points with the Dolphins lucky to break 20. This is predicated on whether Flowers is recovered and can play, or the new corner they signed is worth a poo poo. Thank god they dumped Richard Marshall, that guy was worthless. As for the Dolphins, I don't fully know. The only name I knew besides Tannehill was Knowshon Moreno, and he's on IR. Anyone who does know this team, I'd like to know more and why they have a chance or will totally destroy the Chargers.

Redskins-Vikings: I'm calling this one the poo poo-show of the week. It will be enjoyable, but bad all around.

Rams-49ers: I don't believe the Rams will be able to recreate their special teams fuckery to victory. That was fun as hell to watch, but not something that's easily repeatable. The 49ers will run a train on the Rams by 3 touchdowns or more.

Broncos-Patriots: It would be so easy to call this for the Broncos, and I don't think I'm alone in thinking they're going to teat the poo poo out of everyone in the AFC to the superbowl. I loving hate that, by the way. No team should be predestined to go, no matter how many mercenaries you sign to make it happen. But do I think the Pats O-Line can keep DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller from putting Brady in the turf constantly? Nope! Broncos, in a lop-sided victory of 2 TDs or more. However, in this one instance, I am rooting for the Patriots to win. I just don't believe Brady's magic bullshit can overcome the Broncos.

Raiders-Seahawks: Seahawks will keep the Raiders to 10 points or fewer while scoring more than 20 themselves. Since there's no brave call here, I'm not going to count this as a prediction; it's more like watching a slow-motion kick in the balls over and over again. You know it's coming, yet you cringe every time you see it.

Ravens-Steelers: I can't give anything remotely specific about this game. I don't know enough about the Steelers or Ravens to make any sort of call one way or the other.

Colts-Giants: I'll get this out of the way: I don't like Eli Manning. I will not spend an evening of elegance with him. But I'm going to go out on a limb a bit and say Giants in a high-scoring shootout game (30+ points per team). Neither team has a decent enough defense to stop the other, so it all comes down to who can keep momentum up the longest, and to that, I have to go with Manning over Luck. But I would love to be wrong on this one.

Unfortunately the Cardinals blitz more than any other team in the league I think, they don't seem to actually get sacks but they force a lot of bad incompletions. They also have one of the best defenses against the run. If Romo is ailing it will be a long game.

This game will mirror the Chargers' game against the Chiefs.
It will stay close throughout. The running game will fail to establish itself.
The Chargers will have a chance to win with 3 minutes left. Instead they'll kick the field goal and tie the game.
Because the Chargers secondary is thoroughly depleted, the defense will poo poo itself and make (Miami quarterback) look like Peyton Manning.
Miami will either:
A) easily get in field goal range to win or
B) throw a touchdown on 4th and long

Minnesota isn't the shitshow team most everyone here thinks, they are just at the mercy of their offense line and growing with a rookie QB. The defense is fairly strong, Green Bay blowout not withstanding, and outside of that have played most every game close.

No idea what the Steelers are going to do; last week was the best they've played as a team in 3ish years but they've has also been inconsistent in that same time. They could easily lose to the Ravens but the Colts win + consecutive home games makes me a little optimistic. I'm not sure what exactly happened to the Steelers but I hope it continues.

Sour Diesel
Jan 30, 2010

It'll be a fun game, the Ravens usually suck on the road but they've held on with each of their losses and it was dumb fundamental poo poo that would gently caress the game up.

I expect the secondary to get slaughtered by Ben but I'm really hoping the offense can produce and minimize turnovers. Torrey needs to wake up because him loving routes up has caused about 5-6 interceptions this season. Only about 3ish were Joe being a tard and lobbing one up for grabs.

CJ Mosley has gotten a lot better since the week 2 game, so at least he's always fun to watch.

In anticipation of this Pats-Broncos game, lets relive the best regular season game ever played of all time ever.

Broncos receive, 3 and out, punt. This is the calm before the storm.
Pats march into Broncos territory before Ridley fumbles, Von Miller brings it back 60 yards for a score. Ridley benched the rest of the game.
One kickoff and one incompletion later, Von Miller strip sacks Brady. Two runs and another Broncos TD. Brady is not benched.
One kickoff and two plays later, Legarette Blount fumbles. Thanks primarily to a Chandler Jones sack, Broncos only kick a field goal. Blount benched the rest of the game.
Punt, Punt, Pats go for it on 4th and 2, fail to convert. Broncos march downfield, TD.
Punt, Punt, Punt. Trindon Holliday muffs, Pats recover, but with not enough time left. Broncos go into halftime 24-0.

Pats fans across the country commit mass seppuku. There is rioting in the streets. The lucky ones drank themselves into comas long ago. Belichick smiles wryly, and sacrifices a small child to the Lord of Darkness, His Worship Satan.

Pats proceed to score 31 unanswered points in 5 consecutive drives thanks in part to a Montee Ball fumble and a Peyton pick. Montee Ball is benched for the rest of the game, Peyton is not.
Broncos then march downfield and tie. Two punts later and we got overtime folks.

Paying homage to the great Marty Mornhingweg, Pats win the toss, but Belichick defers so they can have the wind.
Broncos punt, thank god. There is a no-call on pass interference, Brady spends the entire playclock yelling at the refs, so the Pats have to burn a timeout. Pats punt. Wooooo the Broncos have to punt. gently caress poo poo poo poo gently caress, the Pats have to punt. Ryan Allen kicks a deep one; Wes Welker, who is receiving, calls everyone off to let it bounce. Tony Carter, who is blocking for Welker, instead runs in front the ball, which bounces off his leg and is recovered by the Pats. Field goal wins it. Tony Carter is crushed into oblivion.

I expect this game to proceed exactly the same.

Erm, DeSean Jackson plays for the Redskins. He catches passes from legendary gunslinger Colt McCoy.

Hopefully the Texans can get to the QB. We won't win if we get beat in the passing game and we won't win if we don't contain LeSean McCoy.

The only thing more Bengals than going 8-0 at home and losing a home playoff game would be losing the 2 year unbeaten streak in the regular season to the Jags.
