The 5-5 Buffalo Bills face the pesky 2-8 Jacksonville Jaguars. Last season, the Jaguars beat the Bills in London, 34-31. I expect the same type of close game today. The weather for this game at the end of November is mild: the temps should be in the 40s with no rain or ice or snow in the forecast. How will your favorite NFL team do today?
The Seahawks will crush the hated Buccaneers! That is, unless they lose!
Bob, bet your house on the Seahawks!
Better not, the way the first quarter looks!!!
If the Giants ever had a game on the schedule they were guaranteed to win (they don’t), it would be today against the hapless 0-11 Browns in Cleveland. Let’s hope they aren’t looking ahead to next week.
Jeff, I suspect the Giants will win easily and Cleveland will remain winless.
The 4-6 Saints take on the 4-6 Rams in the Superdome today. The Saints have experienced several heartbreaking, last minute (literally) losses this season; they could easily be 8-2–but they’re not. Drew Breese and the Saints offense keep running up the score, but the team’s defense can’t seem to keep any opposing team in check. As with the rest of the season, I expect a high-scoring game (both teams in double digits) with the winner being decided on the last play.
Deb, I’m looking for a close game between the Rams and the Saints.
The woeful Texans somehow are leading their division. Maybe they can beat the even more woeful Chargers, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.
Bill, the Texans have fooled a lot of critics and won key games. I think they can take the Chargers today.
Bill, the paper had an article about JJ Watt’s brother (a charger) regretting his brother won’t play today, so they could play against each other. I should think he’d be grateful.
Maggie, I’m surprised the Texans are winning without their best player, J. J. Watt.
George, I think the Bills will wine today, and Jeff, the Giants will definitely beat the woeful Browns. As for the Seahawks, the story is injuries, injuries. The center, first string running back, a linebacker and several other players are out. The Bucs won last week and may have a shot again today. Don’t be surprised if there’s an upset.
Rick, an NFL season is a game of attrition. Injuries hit all the teams at different times. Juggling lineups and grooming backups seems to be the different between winning and losing.
Yet Dallas seems immune this year.
Rick, Dallas might have a tough game in Minnesota against the Vikings.
The Jets are so pathetic that they moved the game with the Patriots from the Sunday night slot to 4:30.
Jeff, the Bills managed to pull out a 28-21 win over the Jaguars. But Miami won so the Bills are stuck in 3rd Place in the AFC East
Seattle is awful so far! One 3-and-out vs. two TDs for Tampa Bay. Injuries, and more injuries. The offensive line is hampered and weak. This may be the game that shows up all the Seahawk weaknesses, and right now they are many. It’s hard to watch, and I have to go out in the cold wind and rain sometime today, might as well go now. I’ll check back (much) later.
I bailed on the Seahawks game, too. Their celebrated defense stayed home, apparently.
Bob and Rick, I think the Seahawks are a Second Half team this season.
Bob, The defense didn’t allow any score after the first two drives, but that was all it took.
I saw the 4th Quarter. The offense had nothing this week, Wilson ran for his life, the receivers couldn’t break free, and more injuries. If the division wasn’t so weak, they wouldn’t even have much shot at the playoffs, but with all the other teams in the NFC West losing, Seahawks are still leading.
