Let's Talk about The NFL week # 11 .... What stands out ... Who do you like ... What we Learned the week before ..

[Betallsports]

It was a Horrible week for me last week as I went 1-4 in the Super Contest. Need to shit or get off the Pot moving forward !

What did we Learn Last Week ?? Well there was a lot

11 Dogs Covered last week ... Including 9 OUTRIGHT !
3 Home dogs won out of 4

* I usually go back to last seasons Sheets, but failed to do that. because last year the same thing happened

Anyway ... We Learned that I ... Yes I should go with some of the things I Write. As I took Green bay in the contest and wrote
how bad they have been playing.

We Learned that the Cleveland Browns have been taking money for the last 2 weeks and they Still Can't cover.
It seems people are waiting for them to Step up, but you just can't Paint a Zebra Brown, and call it a Horse.

We Learned as I posted the Vikings couldn't beat one of my Local HS Football teams that lost like 35+ games in a row
I stand by that Statement and after starting out 5-0, they are now 5-4

I know some believe that they Bounce back this week, But I won't go against what i wrote.
Well at least Not this time.

We learned that the Bears with Cuttler back, looking good the first week back ... didn't continue the following week

We Learned that the Falcons could lose to the Eagles Defense ... who shows up every other week
They will need all of that this week as they Travel to Seattle

We Learned that the JETS even with a 2 year QB couldn't finish the job vs. the RAMS D... I would rather see them Lose Out, and get a Top Draft pick next year

Speaking of the LA RAMS, we Finally get to see the #1 Draft Pick Start... Yes Jared Goff will start this week vs. Miami
I personally Can't wait ...

We Learned that the High powered Offense of the New Orleans Saints .. can Be Stopped by a very Good Defense from the Denver Broncos
I think the Broncos D is coming back and should be in sync moving forward.

We might have Learned that Miami just might be better than we all thought .. i really didn't believe that they could win in SD, But they showed me....
I know that SD has had to deal with Multiple injuries, but they are still a good team. maybe those injuries are taking it's toll ?? Not sure
but let's see how they come out of their Bye.

Miami on the other hand have won 4 in a row ... something they haven't done in Years

We Learned that the 49ers can cover a game after looking ... well looking like a HS team.
This is usually the time that they start winning a game here and there... But now face a Pats team that just lost ... and we all know what happens after the Pats Lose... * Since 2010, pats are 18-4 SU, 15-7 ATS

and I saved the best for last ......

We Learned that the Dallas Cowboys are for REAL ... as they beat the Steelers and beat them Good
This team is the Full package ... and they keep on doing the little things to get the Win and Cover....
Up next, The Ravens .....


Will be back for Tonight's Game

BOL !

 

[OverThinker]

While I agree on minny and just can't trust them they do get a matchup this week that gives them a great chance to get a much needed win. Zona hasn't been a whole lot better the last month even tho they have managed a few wins, if we can count narrowly beating sf a W? Most importantly zona offense is just what doctor ordered for the minny d to possibly get back to their 1st month production scoring or setting up scores. Doesn't really feel like there is a correct side here, gun to head I think there some value getting minny at home just having to win. Most likely nothing for me as I don't like either teams current form..

bears reminded me more than learned me something new. We already knew them as favs never a good idea. Cutler looking so different his 1st game back maybe should have been looked at more as a knock on minny rather than any statement about the bears. However bears are back in much more familiar role this week, one that fox teams have always excelled in. Ugly dogs everyone has left for dead. High winds forecast in ny and bears coming in with far superior run game. Gmen are a team that has always played down in these spots and they a team it be very easy for bears to get into a ugly looking game. Really eying those points as I expect bears to drag gmen into a real stinker of a game where catching more than a td is golden.

 

[TomandJerry]

nice write up as usual, enjoy the article reading.

 

[shutdown76]

should be a good entertaining start to the week with tonight's game, that's for sure

 

[powerz]

Rivers threw 4 4th quarter picks in that game

There was alot of crazy Turn overs last week.

Look at that Carolina Game.

Coaches will be preaching ball security this week.

I think Minny Gets of the Schnide this week too, back at home against an avg Cardinal team

 

[Betallsports]

In Tonight's match up we get New Orleans going to Carolina ..

Line opened at Panthers -4 and you get mostly -3.5's now

Total opened at 51.5 and there is mostly 52's

It was only a few weeks ago that these two teams met each other ... it was a bad time for Carolina as it was the back end of their 0-4 losing streak
But they did score their 2nd best amount of points in this game.
They were losing at half time and made a pretty good come back, but it wasn't enough with Brees throwing for 465 yards and 4 TD's

Even though i feel that there might be a Different outcome Tonight ... it still might not be enough to make it a Solid Play
But I Do like the OVER, as they have gone over the Total in the last 4 games in this match-up

So i will go with OVER 52 for 1 Unit

BOL !

 

[Serbone]

I believe, as do many, that Goff will be a disaster for the Rams this weekend... and for quite a long time, to boot. Not ready.

 

[indiana]

BAS............great write up and info............lov the over tonight as well..........leaning towards Mia. and Seat. this week..........turn around week for you and the contest.............indy

I picked up phins defense in leagues they were available and using them in dfs as well. Thing is even if he has made strides since we last saw him in preseason he is not in a ideal matchup, facing a very good pass rush with a terrible oline, not great weapons, and a coaching staff that is ignorant when it comes to what a NFL offense looks like. Not to mention this joke regime has failed to develop any of their draft picks on the offensive side of ball over the years, not 1!! If goff does succeed it be amazing cause he playing against a stacked deck!

Agree.
Fisher is a dinosaur, puts most of his investments into the defense, runs a 60's offense but has had a terrible O-line for years, no good WR's, either, and runs basic plays that the defense anticipates. 3rd and 9 and he calls a 3 yard out (tackled immediately, 4th down), never down field, rarely into the middle of the field, and the other team knows it.

 

[Betallsports]

Rob Gronkowski was missing in action Thursday for the Patriots.


The star tight end didn't practice as he continues to heal from a perforated lung he suffered in Sunday night's nail-biter of a loss to the Seahawks.
Gronk is considered unlikely to play Sunday against the hapless 49ers.


The Patriots have a two-game lead in the AFC East and are currently the No. 1 seed in the AFC, with a head-to-head tiebreaker over the Texans should New England lose this weekend and Houston beats the Raiders Monday night. They can afford to be take it easy with Gronk for at least one week.


Gronk missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury and only recorded one catch in his first two contests after returning. He's since re-emerged as the Patriots' reliable All-Pro, particularly due to Tom Brady's return to the team following a four-game suspension. Free-agent acquisition Martellus Bennett has performed admirably when Gronk has been unable to go.


Here are some other injuries we are tracking on Thursday:



1. Giants receiver Victor Cruz (ankle) was a full participant in practice.

2. Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree took first-team reps and is moving towards playing again sooner rather than later. The 2015 first-round pick is recovering from a core muscle tear that's kept him out all season thus far.


3. Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles had a knee scope on his other knee Monday, per Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder. It's the second scope Charles has undergone in the last few weeks. He's currently on injured reserve.


4. DeMarco Murray (foot) was a full participant in practice for the Titans.


5. Eagles wideout Jordan Matthews (back) was limited.


6. It's not injury news, but when Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain comes off suspension following Sunday's game, he'll remain on the reserve/did not report list, Rapoport reported, per a Cowboys source. Jerry Jones has indicated to reporters he won't play for them this year.


7. Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy (knee) was limited again in practice and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (ankle) and Theo Riddick (ankle) were also limited. Cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) practiced fully.


8. Wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring), linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring) and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) were all limited in practice. Guard T.J. Lang (foot) didn't practice and linebacker Jake Ryan (ankle) didn't practice. Tight end Jared Cook (ankle) participated fully.


9. Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (hamstring) was upgraded from limited to full participant in practice, the team announced.


10. Dolphins center Mike Pouncey aggravated his hip injury and didn't practice, coach Adam Gase told reporters. It remains to be seen if he'll be available to play Sunday.


11. Saints cornerback Delvin Breaux is listed as inactive for Thursday night's game against the Panthers.

 

[seldomseen]

We learned that Russell Wilson now looks healthier, 2 weeks in a row, than he has all season. And that Sea will play NE tough even if the spread is a td or more.

Phi isn't as bad as we thought before the season or again after losing 4 of 5. Eagles haven't won a road game since week 2. This week we get to see if they really are that bad on the road or if Sea can have a let down after b2b prime wins.

The Redskins could be without their biggest deep threat Sunday night.


DeSean Jackson is questionable to play against the Packers with a shoulder injury. He could be a game-time decision, coach Jay Gruden said.


Jackson has been limited this week after sitting out Week 10 with the shoulder injury. After missing much of 2015 with various injuries, Jackson has been fairly reliable this season.


Here are some other injuries we are tracking Friday:
1. Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus is questionable to play Sunday against the Bengals. Dareus has only appeared in one game in 2016.
Linebacker Jerry Hughes (hand) and receiver Robert Woods (foot) were both limited in practice this week and are listed as questionable.


2. No surprise, tight end Rob Gronkowski (perforated lung) was ruled out against the 49ers on Sunday.


3. Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly is in the concussion protocol after taking a jarring hit in Thursday's win over the Saints, coach Ron Rivera said. Center Ryan Kalil suffered a shoulder injury.


4. The Packers will be without guard T.J. Lang (ankle) for their matchup with the Redskins, coach Mike McCarthy said. Offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) will play. Linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring) and Jared Cook (ankle) are going to need to look good in practice in order to play Sunday.


5. Chiefs receiver Jeremy Maclin (groin) has been ruled out against the Buccaneers. Linebacker Justin Houston (knee) is questionable.


6. Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder) is a game-day decision to play Sunday.


7. Eagles tight end Zach Ertz and wideout Jordan Matthews are questionable. They were full participants in practice.


8. Falcons tight end Jacob Tamme had season-ending surgery Wednesday on his shoulder.


9. Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson is questionable for Sunday's tilt against Green Bay. Gruden said Jackson could be a game-time decision.


10. Steelers receivers Darrius Heyward-Bey (foot), Markus Wheaton (shoulder) and safety Shamarko Thomas (groin) are listed as out for Sunday's matchup with the Browns.


11. Texans wideout Will Fuller (leg) is a game-time decision to play against the Raiders on Monday, coach Bill O'Brien said. Running back Alfred Blue (calf) was ruled out.


12. Giants receiver Victor Cruz (ankle) is off of the team's injury report.


13. Cowboys veteran quarterback Tony Romo (back) is questionable but should be active.


14. Ravens linebacker Elvis Dumervil (foot) and cornerback Jimmy Smith (back) are doubtful to play. Linebacker C.J. Mosley (thigh), defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan (shoulder) and guard Marshall Yanda (shoulder) are questionable.


15. Vikings cornerback Captain Munnerlyn (ankle) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (hip) are questionable to play.


16. Niners wideout Torrey Smith (back) is questionable and pass-rusher Aaron Lynch (ankle) has been ruled out against the Patriots.

what's Not on the above injury report is that Dolphins center Mike Pouncey Should be OUT with a hip injury
* As Per Local News here in South Florida

That is a game changing injury. M.Pouncey is one of the best at his position.
I had Miami as a play this week but this injury makes it a no play.

IMO the more important issue is phi's strength matches up perfectly with sea biggest most glaring weakness. Last week I expected sea to score a lot cause pats have not been generating pressure on qb's (didn't bet sea but reason for playing over). I havnt been very high on philly and still am not but their defensive front is really really good, Wilson gonna have to be on top of his scrambling game cause eagles will be in the backfield all day!! Still holding out hope I can get +7 but either way I will be on eagles come Sunday even at 6.5 cause I expect a lower scoring defensive battle.

His most impressive (possibly only) skill is his ability to somehow keep a job. Every year much better coaches get fired while he somehow parlays mediocrity into new contract after new contract!!

Hell they have invested some picks into the offense over the years, recently with Austin and Quick, they not only have no clue how to use Austin but is still exact same player he was in college. Far as quick not only did they draft him way higher than anyone projected him he another case of apparently not learning anything since arriving. Then there is gurley who shocked me they drafted cause it was a unusually inspired pick, sadly they in danger of turning him into Trent Richardson! I forget who they passed on in favor of Austin but it was huge mistake. I'm so glad this franchise left stl, lol..

Smart. Fins are different team without those offensive line starters. They will struggle to score. La should struggle as well having their rookie QB in there. This game should go under

No love for Pittsburgh at 7's?

Think I'm in same boat, really wanna be against fisher and Goff but then I think back to what fish looked like before the line got healthy. That really when the season started going in right direction when all 5 guys got on the field together.
