I think,  
Arcanum : 11/3/2013 8:34 am : link
I'm the only one, who thinks the Vikings will win today. I just don't think the Cowboys are as good, as some people believe. I expect AP to run all over them.
You know it's a brutal day for football in the NFC  
BigBlueShock : 11/3/2013 8:45 am : link
The supposed number one announcing team (Aikman/Buck) are doing a game involving the 1-6 Vikings and the number two team (Kenny/Moose/Goose) are doing a game featuring the 0-7 Bucs. Damn.
Arcanum  
BigBlueShock : 11/3/2013 8:48 am : link
I think you are seriously underestimating how awful the Vikings are. Particularly the QB's. Dallas is not very good, I agree, but this is more to do with Minnesota than Dallas. Plus, AP has a hammy, which isn't gonna help matters.
The Vikings are a shit show  
Optimus-NY : 11/3/2013 9:17 am : link
Cowflops by 2 TDs today. Easy.
The Redskins-Cargers game is hard to predict  
Optimus-NY : 11/3/2013 9:19 am : link
Seems like a toss-up. Hope Rivers continues to play well enough to get a W today against those fuckers.
Would it be too early in the day  
That Said : 11/3/2013 9:35 am : link
to play the Every Time They Show Rob Ryan Take-A-Shot game?
My most confident prediction today is that the Jets  
Exit 172 : 11/3/2013 9:39 am : link
will give the Saints a tough game, and have a good chance to outright win.

After the Jets got smoked by the Bengals last week, too many people got caught up in the "...and now they have to play the Saints???"

They have to play the outdoor Saints, not the indoor Saints. The outdoor Saints are a good, but not great team. And after last week's embarrassment, the on-and-off Jets are due for an overachieving game.
Can you imagine if Ponder simply keeps  
Big Blue '56 : 11/3/2013 9:47 am : link
the Cowboys' D honest, AP could have a big game and their D could easily keep their O reasonably in check, we could be 1 game out(loss column) going into next week with 8 to play?

I predict the Vikes over the Cowboys in one of the bigger upsets of the season as Dallas totally takes the Vikes for granted. Truly THE trap game

If you watched Ponder against the Packers, you wouldn't entertain the thought of him keeping any NFL defense honest. He's atrocious.
JEST will not win

GIANTSr01 : 11/3/2013 10:03 am : link
The Vikes D blows (especially after losing Smith), but they have been MUCH more competitive with Ponder under center. Should've beaten Cle and Chi (D blew both on last second drives).

And the Vikes offense has averaged 28 pts/game with Ponder starting.
Jesus that's a lineup of some pretty shitty games  
jcn56 : 11/3/2013 10:13 am : link
I mean, it beats no football, but this season really has been bereft of good matchups.
Looking at those teams listed,

man, the NFL has really dropped this year.....yes, the Giants are playing bad, but none of those teams are head and shoulders above the Giants....Parity? More like Pukity.....

I hope Minnesota does roll all over them too, but Cowboys are pretty decent. I read something earlier this week that 3 of their 4 losses are by a total of like 5 points which tells me they are very competitive.to say the least.

Eh IDK. Colston got hurt, he's a game-time decision, and Graham has a bad foot. You can run on the Saints. A lot of Ivory and Powell to keep Brees off the field, and the Jets have a chance.

I'm in the Vikings camp. It's wishful thinking, and Dallas will win, but I'd love for AD to have a prolific game and win it for Minnesota. But, Minnesota has nobody to slow down Dez Bryant
Saints Set to Pummel Our Little Sister  
mrvax : 11/3/2013 10:40 am : link
Jerry Jones is such a damn idiot. He gets rid of his best coach during the off-season and now Rob Ryan has fixed the Saints D. Brees is playing fantastic ball this year.

The Jets defense is not good. This should be a blow out in the order of about 35-10. Take the Saints and give the 6 points.
Vikings will move the ball on the crappy Dallas D  
PatersonPlank : 11/3/2013 10:55 am : link
It will be close. If they can control the ball via the ground, and limit the Cowboys offense, then they havea a chance. Lets go Vikings.
Strong interest (obviously)...  
rptl530 : 11/3/2013 10:57 am : link
in Minn-Dall and SD-Wash. Minn has a shot if Ponder plays well and Allen goes off on Romo a couple of times. SD-Wash seems like a major tossup.

Also would love to see Car beatdown Atl.

Sammo284 : 11/3/2013 11:10 am : link
Really the Saints-Jets is probably the best matchup there. Redskins-Chargers might be fun though to watch. Rest are horrible.

Ponder might be the worst startign QB in the entire NFL  
Optimus-NY : 11/3/2013 11:15 am : link

I think Saints Jets is the only good  
nyg9298 : 11/3/2013 11:21 am : link
match-up and watch that be a blow out. I actually kinda wanna see Tennessee turn things around and make a run at that division.

Dallas smokes Minnesota 41-6 and Redskins edge out the Chargers 20-17 in OT


I said it yesterday  
BigBlueShock : 11/3/2013 11:22 am : link
People think that offensive football is good football. They look at a team and if it has a good offense, they automatically assume the team is good, regardless of how pathetic the defense is. That Redskns-Chargers game is likely to be a 48-38 type game, which is exciting to watch I suppose, but it may not be good football. Sometimes it's more about bad defense than it is about good offense, and I think that will be the case in that game
^^not even close  
GIANTSr01 : 11/3/2013 11:25 am : link
Gabbert/Henne is the worst by a long shot. Glennon is pretty awful. Weeden or whoever in Cleveland. Whoever the hell is now starting in StL. Casey Keenum.

Ponder's got some major flaws, but I'd take him over all those guys. Though there's a reason those teams have <10 wins combined...
Sort  
AcidTest : 11/3/2013 11:35 am : link
of a shit slate of games. I'll get Chargers-Redskins. Hoping for a SD win, but I see the Skins bouncing back with a better game from RGIII, and solid running from Morris. The best chance for SD is to win a high scoring game with Rivers against the wretched Washington secondary.
I'll take Henne over ponder  
Optimus-NY : 11/3/2013 11:48 am : link
The murders' row of shitty QBs, lol.

What a trainwreck of football games.
Last Sunday's games sucked too  
Buck Dharma : 11/3/2013 12:01 pm : link
with the exception of the conclusion of Cowboys-Lions.
The Vikings suck but IMO refuse to adapt to what they are  
Patrick77 : 11/3/2013 12:15 pm : link
They have Adrian Peterson, they have a good offensive line, they have 2 good tight ends (Carlson, Rudolph) and at Receiver they have some weapons and speed in Patterson, Simpson, Jennings, and Webb.

Almost every play they run should be designed to get Peterson the ball in space. Swing passes, shovel passes, shotgun draws, runs, screens, wheel routes, etc... They need to embrace that Peterson is the team and find any way to get him and Patterson the ball in space. Heck, even Webb can make guys miss if you get him the ball, the guy has wheels. Jennings, Simpson, Carlson, and Rudolph are all guys that require someone covering them, they aren't garbage players you can completely ignore.

They need to accept they have no quarterbacks that can make anything more than a simple read and simple throws, they do have a few that can run (Ponder, Freeman, Webb). They can't and shouldn't be running an pro-style offense.

I predict the Cowboys destroy the Vikings, mainly because the Vikings will run Peterson into 9 man boxes with unimaginative play designs and then be forced to throw the ball 10+ yards downfield every drive.
I also think the Jets have a good chance against NO today.  
arcarsenal : 11/3/2013 12:38 pm : link
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Jets won that game.

Dallas is going to beat Minnesota handily. I don't see that game being close at all. But I sure as hell hope I am wrong.

Jay on the Island : 11/3/2013 12:39 pm : link
I agree if you do count Henne as the starting QB in Jax. Personally I think Gabbert might be the worst QB in the league counting backups.

And it looks like I picked the wrong weekend to quit sniffing glue.
If the Vikings beat the Cowboys, it would be *an* upset, yes.  
vibe4giants : 11/3/2013 12:46 pm : link
But one of the bigger upsets of the season, Fiddy? That's some Jerry Jones' level hype, dude. The Vikes are awful, sure. But the Cowboys are hardly some rolling, indomitable juggernaut. They're currently the least bad of the bad teams in the NFC East. Them losing on any given Sunday would hardly rate an eyebrow raise at this point. Beyond the amusing chaos it would cause in and around the Cowboys franchise.

For some reason BBI likes to buy into the Cowboys hype  
PatersonPlank : 11/3/2013 12:50 pm : link
and overrate them. The Cowboys are a 4-4 team, and a wake 4-4 at that. We should have beat them at Dallas.
I don't think it's that at all.  
arcarsenal : 11/3/2013 12:59 pm : link
It's really just that Minnesota is a terrible football team.

Dallas is nothing more than average. But average is better than what the Vikings are.

I doubt Dallas wins in New Orleans next week.. I think there's a good chance the Giants beat them in a few weeks, too. But I can't see them losing today.
People do realize how horrible the Vikings are right?  
Patrick77 : 11/3/2013 1:08 pm : link
They would rather start Josh Freeman with next to zero knowledge of the offense and next to no practice over Ponder or Cassel against the Giants. This has nothing to do with overrating the Cowboys and everything to do with the fact that they need Peterson to win them games on the ground, they can't do anything through the air and will run Peterson up the gut into 9 man boxes because they have no faith in their passing game.
A loss to the Vikings  
mofti : 11/3/2013 1:11 pm : link
would really put us in a position to take control, knowing we have 3 straight home games coming up.

That being said, it's a long shot.
the NFL is a joke  
TheGM : 11/3/2013 1:13 pm : link
im so sick of these awful penalties they call.
Also, Dallas is probably the most inconsistent  
mofti : 11/3/2013 1:13 pm : link
team in the NFL. They will look totally dominant one week, and they will come out the next looking worst than the jacksonville jaguars.

Let's just hope the crappy team shows up today.
