“…ESPN is not regulated by the FCC…” Are you that uneducated? Do you even know what the FCC is? I’m surprised you can even spell FCC.

Oh no!

“Vikings were exposed.”

You just really upset 5 people and 9 sheep.

i guess we will see.great backs on both sides,but hawks defense at home can be overwhelming and hard to move the ball against,but we gotta fix that short pass over the middle,the lions tore us up with that,hopefully coaching staff figured it out over the last few day

zn0rseman: If Seattle backs have been holding and not being called for it, maybe they are doing just enough per rules – which is a good thing.

It doesn’t matter, I think teams have found the weakness of Seattle’s backfield – as our larger DBs do well on the sides but over the middle (short) is a simple play Seattle CANNOT stop. You would have to see the games to realize how badly the problem is. NE started it, SF perfected it, and now the Lions basicly ONLY passed there on Seattle.

The fact us fans can see it and the coaching hasn’t fixed the problem says to me it CAN’T be fixed with the large DBs. If I was the Vikings I would just pass over the middle all day long until they show it can be stopped, and then go to the sidelines to mix up. A win for Viking for sure.

Vikings will beat Seattle….Seahawks don’t have a passing game at all – ranked 31st. All Vikings have to do is stop Lynch and they will win.

Also, Seattle’s Defense is not as good as people think. Seattle CANNOT for the life of them stop the short over the middle pass. That is all Lions did last week and Seattle COULDN’T STOP it.
—————–
Seattle’s defensive backs have been holding a lot this season, and have pretty much gotten away with it in all of their home games this year. There have been a lot of complaints about that so far… and I expect that to continue this weekend.

Really, Seattle only deserves about two of their wins thus far.

I always say you guys don’t give enough credit to the Browns defense, and every week they do better than you guys think they are.

It’s insane of you guys to underrate their defense every week this year, when not once have they allowed as many points as you say they will.

The Bucs, Jags, and Browns will all win. Just watch before you give me a thumbs down.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Bucs, Vikings and Titans all won this week. This could easily be another week of mass upsets… parity gets you by surprise sometimes.

Agree with these picks overall. I do think the Browns will beat the Ravens because the Ravens have been terrible on the road while very good at home.

Also think the Bucs will beat the Raiders.

“Despite III wins in a row, the Dolphins remain underrated. ”

Uhhh, isn’t this the first week you’ve picked them to win?

You make it sound like you’ve been trumpeting them all season and now people are finally beginning to listen to you.

For those questioning the pick of the Raiders over the Bucs, as a Bucs fan I can easily see why they would make that pick.
We just lost Carl Nicks for the season (that’s both Pro Bowl calibre OGs gone) so the run game could take a massive hit along with the pass protection
Our already useless defensive backfield got even worse with the loss of our other starting corner (both Talib and Wright) to pill popping.
The Bucs tradition all don’t play all that well on trips to the West coast (although we did beat the Raiders in a Super Bowl over there).

I’m not saying the Bucs have no shot but picking the Raiders to win is not shocking.

Monday is an Eagles win. Here is why: a loss has to be a benching of Vick, right? A benching probably leads to a .500 record at best and missing the playoffs. Missing the playoffs means Reid is fired.
But a win means teetering on .500 all year and just barely missing the playoffs, or maybe sneaking in and losing in the first round. Then Reid comes back, and we suffer through it all over again next year.
This seems like our destiny as fans to watch the same mediocrity and the same mistakes in playcalling and clock management.

Every packer fan thinks they’re gonna win the super bowl. Try getting out of the first round this season.

Jimdolfan,

Indy will be getting some key defensive players back after them being out several weeks

Should be a good one

VIkes will beat Seattle because they always win when the “experts” pick against them. Oh and they got this guy named Adrian Peterson

In previous years, PFT picking the Dolphins most likely meant we were about to get shut out… this year feels different. I have been excited to see the rookie QB’s go head to head all year. And if Tannehill isn’t ready Sunday, I still really like our chances with Matt Moore behind center. He is definitely a starter on half the other teams in the league and we are lucky to have him.

Honestly, I dont know how I feel about the Raiders beating the Bucaneers; I’d rather be the under dog, this game will tell us if the raiders are real. although the bucs have two missing pro bowl guards AND their starting corner is missing. I still wont just assume we’ll win.

Cp3 and the raiders will pick apart the bucs D as the raiders front 7 will shut doug martin down. Big win for raiders. Raiders have alot of experience against VJ. Dont expect him to bail you out.

Even with an O-line being held together with elmer’s glue and masking tape & a suspect set of corners, the Bucs new found offensive attack will be able to put up more points than the Raiders can. Bucs 35-27.

Double-spacing between the games please. Single-spacing is difficult to read.
