The only early game that looks good on paper is the Colts/Ravens game. That doesn't mean there won't be some hidden gems in there though.
Conversations in the comments below. I'll leave them open until tomorrow so this thread can be used for the Eagles/Bears game tonight too.

Mortensen just makes things up. Ask Al Davis.

Redskins vs. Cowboys and Ravens vs. Colts
Lets see if they turn out to be good games.

I don't know about anyone else
But the colts look really good and look to go up early.

I’ve picked them #1 in the power rankings every week. Damn the Saints. NO always seems to be in close games against bad teams.

They win. I don’t give the Saints a lot of credit. I also wonder how much their 4th place schedule helps them out.
by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 10:49 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Like I said, they seem to be playing bad teams every week and playing catchup in the second half. You cant do that in the playoffs.

Wow
If Baltimore doesn’t get this challenge, they are going to be down 14-0 early to the colts.

They’ll turn it around at some point. They’ll be dangerous at the end of the season for teams headed for the playoffs.

Just saw 3 plays in a row where Romo almost got his WR killed. Austin twice, then Williams.

Redskins are playing good by the way. Don’t know how it’s slipped under the radar, but their secondary is good. Haynesworth determines their run D.

I loved Jason Campbell at Auburn and always had hope for him, but after watching him against the Broncos I’m done. He’s an awful QB. If they could’ve gotten Favre in the offseason, they’d be above .500.

Nicks and Boss with huge plays. Watch them destroy the Falcons now.

He’s going to end up being so much better than Stafford or Sanchez.

It really depends on which cowboys team shows up.

so are they legally required to talk about Flacco's arm strength a set number of times each game?
“you just don’t make that play with a weak arm, do you…”
ugh.

Not all bars have the football package they have to pay a huge fee for it
They have both direct tv and cable but I thought that they didn’t have the package because most of their customers only wanted the NY games anyway

I'm enjoying watching GB beat up on SF 30-10
I work with a bunch of niner fans, and I have a couple of bets that Chargers will go to playoffs AND niners won’t (i.e., they win the bet if Chargers don’t make playoffs OR niners do).
Plus, I love nothing more than to call them the 4and9ers, so I hope they lose 3 more games after this one. :-)

Ravens just lost all their time outs
I think this game is over, colts need a first down, even if they don’t get it the ravens will get the ball with like 30 seconds left and no time outs.
