Last week was a little weird with no team in the division winning despite having two matched up against each other because of the game ending in a tie. As a result no one is undefeated. This week we have some decent matchups with the jags having the only home game.
Match ups:
Clots @ Jags 1:00pm- with our home opener and hopes to keep the clots winless in jax streak alive, this should be a good rebound game for our boys.
Tinhorns @ Broncos 4:25pm- Denver coming off a painful loss in Seattle looks to go to mile high to take on a tinhorns team that once is again playing a little better than what the preseason stats suggest.
Tacks @ Buffalo 7:15 Monday night- Buffalo will try and build off their dominating performance against LA in which they looked every bit the part of potential SB contenders.
My picks:
Jags- keep the streak alive
Broncos- learn from BS and get win
Bill- really don’t like either of these teams but I hate the tack more than any so I’ll be pulling for stupid bills mafia to pull this off.
Record so far: 0-2-1
Same. Hope all's well with Bullseye. I did not participate in last week's. Hell, come to think of it. I barely participate in these. But, I'll go for it this year.
Taking us at home over the clots. Think we shot ourselves in the foot last week on the road. Started off like [BLEEP], came on a little strong in the second half and then fell off down the stretch. Not going to rehash my thirteen reasons why again as it's over in the home thread. But, really like our chances at home given the history and the fact that I think Matt Ryan is highly overrated. And barely, if at all, an upgrade over Carson Wentz at this point in their careers. That's right, I said that [BLEEP].
Taking the Bills over the tacks. This could turn into a street fight. I love the way Buffalo played against L.A in the regular season kick-off game. They were fast and physical. Overcame some odd turnovers. They seem to be the team to beat at the moment, although Kansas City will give them a serious run. Nothing surprising there.
Taking the Broncos at home over the tinhorns. Hackett was the meme of week one. I think he'll learn after that decision that there's a reason you traded for and paid Wilson to be your QB1. Let the man cook on 4th and 5th and you might not be a meme in week one. Don't be fooled though. The tinhorns a little more capable than they're given credit for. I don't think they'll be a slouch and I could see this game being close. Just not in their favor.
