Phil 307 >>> Minn 79, one sided game of the week

Mia 306 vs NE (114), lot of people may be fading the Pats (or do they love the fish?)

only 32 people picked Dallas, no love there at all

I like Minn, NE & Dallas, hope the contestants are wrong

Any particular reason you like minnesota? The vikes should struggle offensively against the eagles, even if Peterson plays. The eagles d is terrible against the pass, but does play the run well. Also, the eagles should be a much better offense on turf, since every aspect of their team is based on speed, from the o-line to Jackson and McCoy. The vikings are terrible in pass coverage and have no one who can match jackson's speed. Allen's a good player but Peters is now fully back after the Achilles. I hate to be on the side of the majority of contestants though, so it is concerning. I do think the eagles are due for a letdown, but with my blatant homerism speaking now, they seem to be focused and really coming together as a team right now.

The Vikes have been very competitive in almost every game they lost. They have lost at least 4 games in the last seconds, and a couple of more in the 4th qtr. They haven't quit and they're keeping it close. I don't think they're as bad as 3-9-1 looks and I expect another spirited effort. Conversely, I don't believe the Eagles are as impressive as their recent record looks. Playing bad teams, missing or hurt QB's and a freak storm has assisted them.

That's where I start. Throw in the fact that 78% of the action is on the Eagles and 80% of the contestants are as well, and it goes from moderate play to maybe a larger play

it works for me, but I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again. Good luck with your decisions :)

PS: the points are large for me here, no ML

MINNY has the worst pass defense in the nfl i believe,or very close to it,and the way foles is throwing the ball,ill go with philly here,they give up 290 yards a game vs the pass


also don't forget,i believe peterson is out for this game too

can anyone tell me this,why do people always throw in the excuses of hurt QB's,bad teams,bad weather,etc when teams win games.they never get the credit that they won the game,..are not the team they are playing nfl players,or are they college players in those uniforms,....im just sick in tired of teams getting talked down for winning,...if these teams are that bad then they should forfeit before the game kicks off,..geez already

listen, not everyone wants to hear your shit, or anyone's. You want to dissent, that's fine. But it cracks me up when somebody who's no better than anyone else, who's having a bad season, goes off on some rant like his shit doesn't stink because he don't be liking what somebody else said. Trust me, I'm not looking to you for advice for the 2013 NFL season.

"geez already" is spot on

in some worlds this doesn't matter

Raiders 1-5 and Pryor is their QB
GB 1-4-1 and sans Rogers
Wash 0-5 and the wheels falling off
Det 1-3, finesse offense derailed by blizzard

AZ was a quality home win


is it the beginning and the end? of course not
is Minny some lock? I'm far too experienced to think like that
can Philly cover? absolutely

are the teams they defeated totally irrelevant? absolutely NOT

Goes without saying but I'd like Minn a lot more if AP was playing. They say he is quest but can't really see why he would play...

I did bet Skins +7 today though...Don't understand that line at all really, yeah the Skins suck but the Falcons are of similar caliber as well. Rg3 has been awful all year and almost anyone would provide an upgrade over him. Shanny has a huge ego (as most nfl coaches do) and he is gonna wanna prove the reason they've had a bad year was because RG3 was hurt/ineffective today.

Their D sucks and they could still get killed but not sure ATL should be laying 7 to anyone

Look at the teams that KC played when they were 8-0. They started losing when the schedule got tough.
