Matty Ice melts against the Cards with a couple of picks. Cards win by two scores.

Iggles win in Minnesota by a field goal. Andy Reid eats an innocent bystander.

Colts defeat the Chargers in a revenge matchup.

Dolphins beat the Ravens, a playoff win in Miami? Weird.

Cards over the Falcons - High scoring game but I give the win to the team with a former MVP and the quarterback with a SB ring.

Eagles over the Vikings - If the Eagles were more consistant they might very well have been the best team in the NFC. They stay consistant this week and beat the Vikings.

Colts over the Chargers - Yeah, the Chargers have had the Colts number the last couple of times they played. But right now the Colts are just the better team.

Ravens over the Dolphines - This isn't going to be a game won by the quarterbacks. The Raven's defense will be the difference in this game.

Cards

Vikes

Fins

Chargers

Yep all home teams.

I'm this close to picking all the road teams. I think the AFC road teams win, and that the Eagles win, but am undecided on the Falcons/Cards game.

EDIT: Screw it, one of the home teams has to win. I'm going with the Cardinals.

Cardinals - they have something to prove this week, and I think they will put together a game reminiscent of their play earlier in the season. Unfortunately, it will only last one week, so depending on the Eagles-Vikings game, either Carolina or NY will get a pretty easy win over the Cardinals next week.

Eagles - they blitz. Jackson can't handle the blitz. Either Peterson breaks through the line for some big gains, or the Vikings get handled fairly easily.

Ravens - they are better than the Dolphins. They beat them easily in Miami in Week 7, and will do so again.

Colts - I expected the Colts hype to end this week, because no one expects it, but the Chargers' Gates is now injured along with Tomlinson not being at 100%. I don't know if they can overcome that.

Cards win even though E. James says he ain't coming back next year, Falcons can't win on the road, Warner likes the spotlight and plays well. All the Atlanta fans say, "trade Ryan and get Vick back when he gets out of incarceration, I mean jail".

Tough one to call here: Vikings win over the Eagles, the real McNabb shows up.

Colts beat the Chargers, Philip Rivers and L.T. fight at midfield.

Ravens win at Miami by 2, Ricky W. takes a 420 break and can't find his helmet.

    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
