Then week 12 is CRAP!

PIT@CLE
DET@IND
TB@NYG
KC@CAR
DAL@WAS
TEN@HOU
MIN@CHI
DEN@LV

Of those 8 games.
How many of those will have a spread under 7 i say none

So, right after I post that Kyle Brandt, GMFB, goes on to explain why the Eagles and Commanders may still have questions.

Eagles last six games:
Buccaneers L
Browns W
Giants W
Bengals W
Jaguars W
Cowboys W
They have just been beating bad teams, it isn’t their fault.

Then the Commanders last six games:
Browns W
Ravens L
Panthers W
Bears W
Giants W
Steelers L
Other than the Panthers all close games…

As long as I got the Lions on TV every week is great!

They are discussing who has a signature win between the Commanders and Eagles. Think it was Schrager who said the loser tomorrow is a pretender.

There wont be any blackouts for sure.
And Lions only have 4 local TV only games left.
W11 Vs JAX
W12 @ IND
W16 @ CHI
W18 Vs MIN

I say Denver -4.5 vs Las Vegas. Thats the only one?
maybe Minnesota - 5 vs Chicago

GMFB three question on your games, each was assigned one game.
Peter S has Ravens/Steelers
Kyle B has Chiefs Bills
Akbar has Commanders/Eagles

1. Which has the better QB story,
Peter: Wilson and not close. Nobody wanted him, Giants, na we have Jones we are good. and few others did same.
Kyle: slight edge to Mahomes. He’s playing worst football of his career but has the best record of his career. Slow plodding offense it’s really different while Mahomes is treading water. Slightly more interesting than Allen doing magical things he always does.
Akbar: Better story J Daniels. He is rising up above expectations, he is very talented but team is doing far better with him than expected.

2. Which Team needs a win more
Peter: Pittsburgh. They are on a nice ride here but they haven’t had a win in the division yet, haven’t played any. They don’t do well in the division lately they need the win more.
Kyle: Bills need it more, doesn’t buy into the existential reasons. Bills have beaten KC in the regular season. Reason they need it more, when you are at 8-2 you need the #1 seed. THey will win the AFC east but that #1 seed, have to have it
Akbar: Eagles need it more, Commanders right behind them. Goes back to last year losing to Tampa in the playoffs, same team gave them their last loss this season. Coaches under a tremendous amount of friction. Need the separation from the Eagles.

Last one, meh, Lions fans is the obvious answer

#3 Best fan base to party in New Orleans with
Peter: Ravens
Kyle: Bills,
Akbar: Commanders…they have soul??

Commanders-Eagles, Chiefs-Bills and Steelers-Ravens are arguably the best matchups of the entire season all in one week. Should be good
