Jeff thinks that, eh? I don't know. I think both teams respect each other's QB's to the point to where the running game might be heavily featured more than the passing game just to keep our respective QB's off the field. 

I would think it's right around a 59 - 63 total points type of game. Whoever has the ball last more than likely wins it as it'll probably come down to both teams dealing with challenges but finding enough flashes in the pan here and there to put points on the board. 

Our interior line is weak. I think their outside protection is weak, after what happened against Detroit. Their receivers also have to show they can catch the football. 

There's going to be long drives that result in nothing burgers and then there's going to be a few short drives that result in TD's or last minute FG's. It's going to be fun to watch either way. 

This really should have been a Sunday night football contest. I guess the NFL had to try to make it somewhat fair after giving them a 10 day rest advantage they figured they could come over here at 1 PM and absorb the heat directly and humidity.
