Heading towards week 10 of the NFL season, you would swear based on the sports television that there is only one game this weekend (maybe two), that is being played. That game is not even in the United States.
Anyways, the new mindset for many NFL teams is “we’re alright, we aren’t great, but we aren’t that bad.” It has led to the belief that several teams will make the playoffs with records at .500 or below.
Last week: 7-6 (.538)
Overall: 89-44-1 (.664)
Browns vs. Bengals
Chiefs vs. Bills
Dolphins vs. Lions (I did not realize the Dolphins were 5-3. That is all.)
Cowboys vs. Jaguars (If Brandon Weeden gets the start against this poor Jacksonville team, and loses, it might be nearing the end of his career.)
49ers vs. Saints (The Saints are strong at home.)
Titans vs. Ravens
Steelers vs. Jets
Falcons vs. Buccaneers (These two teams have a combined three wins. Lovie Smith is rebuilding. Mike Smith should start packing.)
Broncos vs. Raiders (If there is such a thing as a quiet 0-8, it is the Raiders.)
Rams vs. Cardinals
Giants vs. Seahawks
Bears vs. Packers
Panthers vs. Eagles (Mark Sanchez will struggle at some point filling in for Nick Foles, but he has too much he wants and needs to prove right now.)
