There are 6 byes: Cardinals, Ravens, Lions, Texans, Chiefs, and Seahawks.
It looks like we have to root for the Saints and Broncos. The Packers/Panthers and Raiders/Steelers games should be good. I will watch SNF to root against the Cowboys. Which non-Jags games interest you?
Manziel puts on a show and upsets the Bengals.

Johnny should have some extra motivation this game because Marvin Lewis called him a name last year before they played against him, something you rarely ever hear from a HC on another teams QB/player.
It sure won't be easy for Johnny as the Bengals are undefeated and a much better team at this time.
I do look forward to watching this game though, as divisional games can be fun to watch.

The Bengals are too good to let Manziel light it up. Johnny probably will not be thinking about the the time Marvin Lewis called him Midget.
The one thing going for the Browns is they have a better record than the Ravens.

The Browns have actually been playing well in alot of their games. They ended up losing some VERY tight games against Broncos, Chargers, Raiders, and looked decent against Cardinals until late.
Bengals still have Primetime/Big Game issues. Dalton looked horrible (like he had a bunch of unsettled nerves) against Pitt last week.
He looked pitiful against the Browns on Thursday night last season.
We'll see if he can turn that around.
Good thing for the Bengals is that Manziel is starting. I'd be shocked if he lights them up. But,, it is Dalton on primetime after all, lol.
I did not know kickoff time made a big difference for Andy Dalton. Then again the Bengals rarely play night games.
Surprisingly Dalton threw fewer interceptions than Big Ben on Sunday. Roethlisberger lost the game by throwing three - two of them to Reggie Nelson. If Johnny Manziel does that, the Browns have no chance.
So every game is a game of interest?

Every game is of interest to somebody, but only three games (Jaguars/Jets, Broncos/Colts, and Titans/Saints) are of interest to everyone. Take your pick - which games are you interested in?
Quote:I did not know kickoff time made a big difference for Andy Dalton. Then again the Bengals rarely play night games.
He's struggled in most of the big games and primetime games they have played in (although he has had a couple good games).
We'll get to see if he's getting over that issue or not. The Bengals have 3 straight "primetime" games coming up.
vs Browns (TNF this week)
vs Texans (MNF next week)
@ Cardinals(SNF Nov 22)
They got flexed into Sunday Night against Arizona. Gonna see alot of the Bengals this month. It's their time to be studs or duds.
One thing that will help Andy Dalton is the fact that Joe Haden has a concussion.
I hate the Bengals, so GO BROWNS!
Packers/Panthers
Steelers/Raiders
are games that I'll be watching

Those two will be fun matchups, but they play at the same time as the Jaguars and Jets. If the Jaguars get blown out I will switch to the Packers/Panthers game. Then I will watch the Broncos/Colts, which should be an easy win for Denver.
I'm rooting for
Bills
Saints
Jaguars
Steelers
Broncos
Bears
This week.
I also will root for Pittsburgh but feel bad about wanting JDR win. Too bad he went to a division rival team.

Na man mine was right. I don't care about nfc match ups. Need the saints to whip the titans.
But I'm going to enjoy the panthers vs Packers game as a football fan.

I was just messing around....
I'm pulling for the Raiders! Although, I think the Steelers win this one fairly easy at home.
Like to see Oakland get "over the hump" and into the playoff wildcard mix until late in a season.

What's your Panthers/Packers prediction Z?
Green Bay normally doesn't look as good on the road as they do at home (except maybe in Detroit). What I mean is,, they're often involved in close, low scoring games than they're used to at home.
My prediction:
Panthers 24 - Packers 23
Gano at the end with a game-winner
Jagherd, I doubt you want Tennessee to make the playoffs.
Thank God the Ravens suck this year. I have waited too long for that to happen.
I don't know about the Steelers winning easily. Remember they lost Le'Veon Bell for the year (torn MCL).
Packers/Panthers: Aaron Rodgers can't have two bad games in a row. Carolina almost lost at Indianapolis. I am picking the Packers.
