I bet nobody would have pegged this Miami vs Indianapolis game as one that could have playoff implications before the season but both teams are squarely in the middle of the wild card race. Hopefully Tannehill can play so we can have the rookie QBs storyline too!

Ness · 10-30-2012, 06:52 AM

Yup one of those teams is going to be 5-3. I'm guessing Colts. Going with the home team.

Hines · 10-30-2012, 07:10 AM

Going to be a great game in New York on Sunday. If the Steelers play defense the way they have the past couple weeks, I think the Steelers offense can take care of the Giants D.

Also, I think it's about time to start talking about Big Ben as MVP. Will he win it? No. Is he top five? In my view, yes. Dude has been unreal this year.

Right now the big three are Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan, and Aaron Rodgers.

NFL Halloween Pics, GOOOOO!

Here's the Dolphins OL, Jonathan Martin, John Jerry, Mike Pouncey, Richie Incognito, and Jake Long from left to right.

jrdrylie · 10-30-2012, 08:11 AM

I'm predicting the Chiefs get their first lead in regulation against the Chargers.

Aaron Rodgers is certainly not a top three choice for NFL mvp. On second thought I don't even think those three have run that far away with that discussion at all yet. No one has really stood out. If I were voting I'd vote Watt my mvp thus far.

JJ Watt has been by far the best player in the NFL this year IMO however it's in essence a QB award so I'd be shocked if he won it.

Right now Matt Ryan is probably the front runner. I agree that Rodgers probably isn't in the top 3 either. Manning has been on a roll recently and has a nice second half schedule, as does Brady.

We can't do that against the Bucs, Bills, and Raiders, and this is the same Chargers team that put 37 on us a few weeks ago.. so I'm going to go ahead and disagree.

This game is over after the first quarter. Chargers win by 15+ points.

This is also the same Chargers team that just put up 6 on the Browns. Have faith, you score 20 on them last time. I think Jamaal Charles breaks off a long run on the first drive to give you the lead. It won't last long, but at least you'll have a lead for a change!

The same Charles that had 5 rushes against the Raiders? I think he might be injured or something and they're just not telling people.

Babylon · 10-30-2012, 11:19 AM

Seattle vs Minnesota should be a nice matchup. Hopefully the Vikings team that beat The Niners earlier won't make the trip.

Come on now...nobody knows why Charles only had 5 rushes, not even Romeo!!!

Shreckart · 10-30-2012, 12:29 PM

If I would've told you at the beginning of the season the Colts were a bad defensive play away against a horrid Jacksonville team from being 5-2, playing the Dolphins in Week 9 to move possibly move to 6-2, how many people would've agreed?

No one. Andrew Luck is the real deal. I really hate the Colts. Going from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck is just unfair!

I'm seeing maybe an 8-8 team there, which would be a successful season no matter how you look at it. So Andrew Luck is probably good for an extra six wins because i doubt they'd win any more than two games without him.

SuperMcGee · 10-30-2012, 02:16 PM

Going to say that the Bills somehow play it close and lose a heartbreaker.

Or the sensible happens and Houston's offense takes complete advantage of our linebackers, leading to a 400 yard day for Foster.

i don't disagree with watt getting it right now, but if the donkeys end up at 11 wins or so, peyton will probably be in the top two for the award (not that he necessarily should, but i'm assuming simply being peyton will help with the votes).

Ness · 10-30-2012, 02:30 PM

So tired of quarterbacks winning that award. I hope Watt has an even more dominant second half to the season so he has a shot.

Pat Sims 90 · 10-30-2012, 02:31 PM

I fully expect Peyton to shred the Bengals secondary and put up 300+ yards and at least 2 TDs.

I'm loving Andrew Luck. His scramble to get a 1st down at the end of the game against the Packers is one of my favorite plays this year. Giving 0 ***** about the Packers haha Guy's a stud.

Tampa coming into Oakland. I think Oakland has a shot at winning it because Freeman.

Peyton will get come back player of the year which probably means unless he really kills it every single game from here on out he wont get MVP. Ryan has been playing very well but again, he has not separated himself enough to be a clear winner. Rodgers was on fire for two games before this week, but had a pretty mediocre performance against the Jags (yes GB has injuriez, but not as serious as what Jax had last week, and theyre not very good to start with). It really is still very much up for grabs and its probably a 98% chance a QB will get it, I'm not sure it will be Peyton tho, mostly because I think he wont get comeback and mvp.
