Its pretty cool that fox is showing the game everywhere not just in ATL/DET but I'm not sure I'm getting up that early. I'm also not touching Detroit -4.5 with a 10 ft pole but I wouldn't touch Atlanta with a 100 ft pole even ifvthey were getting 2 tds

I've been staying away from Detroit games because they're all games I could see them losing or not covering, and I still like to think I am too emotionally invested into sports to bet against my own team.

Broncos and Cardinals are the best team in the NFL at this Juncture.
Even tho the Broncos beat the Cardinals, I'd still take the cardinals in the superbowl. |

Cowboys are better than the Cardinals in the NFC right now. That can change, of course, but right now Dallas is the team to beat.
I still like San Diego the rest of the way, and think they can hang with Denver |

That's not to say Denver isn't the best in the AFC, because they are... you could talk me into Indianapolis or even Cincinnati still though

The best part about the playoffs is that they're largely a crapshoot. Last year was the first time that both #1 seeds and the consensus "top 2 teams in the NFL" met in the Super Bowl in ages. Odds are at least one of the conferences will be represented by whatever team is riding the hot hand heading into the playoffs. I could still very easily see San Diego being that team.
I took the Colts to win the AFC in my preseason predictions so I'm gonna stick with that. They'll be without Reggie Wayne for a few weeks but Luck can still get by with the weapons he has...and TY Hilton is a monster anyway. |

My preseason SB bet was Green Bay. Looked awful after 3 weeks but they're coming alive now which gives me hope to win money.
I took the SD season over of 8 games (need 9+ or it's a push). I have faith they will reach that. I think the "teams to beat" in descending-ish order are: AFC Denver Indianapolis San Diego Cincinatti New England Baltimore NFC: Dallas Green Bay Arizona Detroit Philadelphia (not really going out on a limb there) I could see any of those AFC teams taking it. NFC I think it will be one of the top three I listed, as much as I would fucking diiiiiiiiiiie to see the Lions I don't think their offense is reliable enough at this point (so strange to say) |

I would love Green Bay to return, but I don't think it's going to be this year. More happy points if they do, but not going to drink my urine over it.
Dallas with heel Romo continuing to curse fans for not showing up would be awesome, him hoisting the trophy and crediting the staff and players would be tits mcgrits. It would be on Bret Hart meltdown level. Arizona v.s. Cincy in the SB with tweener Palmer teasing to win the Championship and take it back to Cincy with him would be riveting breasts. Philly v.s. Baltimore or Napoleon Dynamite v.s. Danielsan for the title would market that appeal. San Diego v.s. Detroit would be a bomb fest, Stafford and Rivers tearing it up. It's a good mix of teams in the race and I'm enjoying each week of it |

Still not totally willing to count Seattle out, I think they'll get on another roll eventually. Then again I took them to repeat (I know repeating is really hard to do but I think we're due to get a repeat eventually) so I guess I kinda have to.
My NFC picks are looking terrible though. I had: 1. Seattle 2. New Orleans 3. Green Bay 4. Philadelphia 5. San Francisco 6. Chicago Then again like most I never saw New Orleans being as bad as they've been. I thought the rest of the South would be weak but figured the Saints would beat up on them and win the second seed as a result. Now I have no idea who's coming out of the South but whoever it is is almost a lock for the 4 seed. Funny thing is if the Saints get the 4 seed I could still see them getting past the wild card round. The Superdome is not an easy place to play in January. I waffled between Chicago and Arizona for the 6th seed. Chicago is way too inconsistent to count at this point. I knew the Cards were mad good I just figured it was a numbers game. I guess damn Dallas is what really has thrown me off. |

That entire division is poop. Carolina could win it. New Orleans could win it. Atlanta and Tampa are still only 1 and 2 games back of the lead respectively, which is absurd.

It was mentioned on Guess the Lines but omg it would be hilarious if the division winner was 6-10. I'm sure one of the teams will get to 7 or 8 wins but still.
Just imagining people buying 2014 NFC South Champions gear. WOOOOO 6-10! |

If a 6-10 team wins the division then goes on to have a deep playoff run, would a TB o/u 7 bet pay out? That would be fantastic. (it wouldn't, I know)

Once the Cowboys face a good run defense they ll be stopped easily.
Colts and Broncos are the best in AFC |

Seattle is a good team with a very good run defense that the Dallas Cowboys have beaten (and recently, to boot). Troll harder.

Maybe so, but with AJ Green healthy I think they can hang with anybody. I was wrong about them last year too though.

If they can hang with anybody why can't my Browns? If they start Manziel and had Josh Gordon back. (aka the best receiver in the league)

Its all about Denver and Indy in the AFC. NFC is wide open. Dallas is the top team but Arizona and Green Bay are legit too. It is awesome because all three of those teams play a different way.

Ehh they're better off with Hoyer, but Gordon would be huge for them to get back
Losing their center hurts a ton though, which is a weird thing to say |

AFC Champ game: Broncos vs Colts. Colts winning.
NFC Champ game: 49ers vs Cardinals. Cardinals winning. Superbowl: Cardinals winning 27-14. |

I don't agree with this Hoyer observation.
I bet you don't watch there games so you wouldn't know how he plays. |

It's funny how everyone's tune changes so quickly. Browns dismantle the Steelers and everyone sings Hoyer's praises. They lose a game that was essentially a "kitchen sink" game for Jacksonville and Hoyer who played terribly is all of a sudden the worst thing to happen. One bad game does not negate a quarter-season's worth of quality starts.

How long do you think Murray will be able to go at this pace before A) They give Randle more snaps, B) Let Tony throw the ball more, or C) He gets injured?

I think hes going to get tired and they will be giving Romo the ball 40+ times a game again. It won't end well but with a playoff birth.

They'll start giving Randle more touches. Romo will end up throwing more than he is now, but they are the type of team that's going to want to run to set up the pass, not vice versa.

I'm really getting tired of Philip Rivers. I don't know why he had to mature and stop acting like a jackass. I don't know why he thinks its ok to actually come off humble and respectful and say the right things all of a sudden. I cant stand that I really like this guy now. He's tortured my Colts so many times. Hell, he even did it with one leg and then all but threw up middle fingers at the crowd afterwards. Fuck you Rivers. Fuck you for making me like you so much!
