Dallas



I don't think Dallas makes it. They have only two games at home and 5 on the road.. They are gonna lose at least 3 more games.....

I don't necessarily think they were "gifted" wins, but they won both games that they probably should have lost. That happens in the NFL every week. However, because the league is so balanced, those kind of results tend to even themselves out as the year goes on. If they were 2-3 games up on GB, I would probably have a different opinion. I just see the law of averages catching up to them in the second half of the season.

Why so much confidence in the Eagles? Almost every single one of y'all picked them. Foles is done. You think Sanchez wins the division? No way

sanchez has talent, and his performance was impressive considering he didn't prep...I think it reflects a confidence in chip Kelly to get the most out of him, more than is there, or maybe even live up to what he was supposed to be.

good defense, running game, and they have a nice head start...I think they are a shoe in, but it's not out of the realm of possibility and we see similar collapses all the time

and? I suspect you'll be singing a different tune if they beat green bay next week, and Detroit goes 0-2 over that stretch (Miami and Arizona).

Minnesota goes to Chicago in Week 11 and hosts Green Bay in Week 12. There is no way they beat the Packers. Rodgers is at his best against the Vikings. His passer rating against like them is over 120 for his career.

Anything can happen, but the Lions are a better team than the Vikings. The Vikings have beat four shitty teams this year. They could not afford to lose the Buffalo game, but they did. Losing at the last second when every win is tough to come by just does not work.

Their remaining is not terrible, but it features four division games. If they do well, then they split those games. That leaves at 6-7 with a game at Miami as well as hosting the Jets and Carolina. I think 8-8 is very possible, but it will not make the playoffs.

riiiight

I'm saying I think they will, not I know they will. people surge and fall on the back 9 (so to speak) all the time...redskins and bears in 2012 par example

I like their bye week spot, I like their coaching staff, I don't think their matchups are insurmountable, I like their young players, and I think their defense is better than they're given credit for...I've seen them win some scrappy games and keep good teams at bay for stretches...no doubt they need to elevate their play, but I think they can do that.

I love the home matchup with the packers, and they can definitely win that one, I think Detroit on the road is a tough out, but their line makes their defense and nick fairley could miss extensive time. Megatron is hurt, Stafford plays like shite, their backs are a rotating injury nightmare...I like Minnesota to place second behind green bay, and I think that gets them to the playoffs

just my opinion

You don't think Sanchez can do as well as Foles?

27th completion percentage
25th QB Rating
13 TDs, 13 TOs

Those aren't very big shoes to fill.

How? Clearly, you have never watched a Vikings-Packers game. The Packers sadly have their number.

What I'm getting at is that when they play who is on their schedule next, which happen to be good teams (Dolphins, Cardinals, Patriots), they will lose. All three of those games, I predict, they will lose




That's one.
