Falcons now favored. No love for Philly...

I want to say I saw that Philly was favored by three at one point but maybe it wasn't quite that much. Now I see Atlanta by one so basically a pick 'em.

I think a few weeks ago it was Philly -3 or even 4/5. Makes me nervous because I like ATL and generally don't like to be on the side moving the line.

Tim you want to trade me one of your RBs for one of my WRs? Auto draft left me short on RBs.

sorry nope 😛

Not a very well played game last night.

Felt Atlanta was the better team on balance, Philly was the better team when it mattered most.

Hope the execution we see is better Sunday.

The Bears. Bwa Ha Ha! Going to be fun living in Chicago this week!

How about that Saints defense?!

Would hate it if a Saints fan, but I always like to see Fitzpatrick do well.

That Bears-Packers game, man...that is one of those rare moments that really will go down in the history books. The only thing that could've made it bigger is if it was a playoff game. But going from the idea that Rodgers had a serious injury knocking him out of the game and potentially longer, to see him come back out in the second half, playing on one leg if you will and slinging it around leading the Pack to 24 pts and the win...I'm not a Packers fan, but that finish gave me chills at what I had witnessed.

IPowrie, I'm sorry bro, but damn those Lions suckkkkkk...

How about the best football music ever:

posting that now before the Rams beat them...

As a huge Packers fan, I can't tell you how crazy that game was. What a swing. That is up there with the Hail Mary and the 8-7-1 game, top 5 Rodgers performances ever. He came strolling back in like Willis Reed and dominated. I know a lot of people thought the season was over, especially after Kizer looked even worse than Hundley.

And wow, those Lions. I haven't seen the wheels come off like that in a long time. Getting to watch the Detroit crowd fade from my flight was pure gold.

Add to that the Brewers closed the gap on the Cubs, it's been a good sports weekend.

Looks like it is going to be a long season. I got a paper bag ready. None of the Detroit pro sports teams are good right now.

I fell asleep when the game was 17-17. How do you give up 31 straight points?

Oy, that Packers-Vikings game was about as frustrating as a game can get. Green Bay was in the driver's seat but just as they came back against Chicago last week, they let the Vikings sneak back in. Sure, the penalty on Mathews was total garbage, but that doesn't mean the D couldn't have stopped the TD and the conversion to tie it up. They were lucky to get out of there with a tie after MN missed so many field goals. Still, I like these early season division battles.

Elsewhere around the league:
- Bortles didn't look half bad in the AFC title rematch against NE. Is this the Jags' year?
- Fitzpatrick had another huge weekend against the defending champs - does Tampa stick with him for the rest of the season? Is Fitzy the journeyman QB of the decade?
- Derek Carr went 29-32 in a loss. Lot of work for Gruden in Oakland.
- Case Keenum keeps winning. The Vikings always toss away QBs that win games for them in an attempt to upgrade (Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, Jeff George, Brad Johnson, Donovan McNabb, etc). It will be interesting to see Bridgewater and Keenum's next few years compared to Cousins' success in Minnesota.
- That KC-Pitt game was nuts. A lot of Steelers fans in the bar were ready to go home after the first quarter, they really made a game out of it.
- How about Buffalo's Vontae Davis retiring at halftime? You really couldn't at least finish the game? Bizarre.

Yeah that Vontae Davis thing was odd. I missed the Packers game, ties stink!!!! The Bridgewater thing is odd. Shows some promise as a young qb,gets injured loses his job,gets let go. I saw the last few minutes of the KC Pitt game. It's always a good Sunday when the team you are a fan of(Colts) and the Patriots lose! 😛

That call was terrible. They might as well play flag football like little kids.

So Le'Veon is finally going to report to Pittsburgh. I don't think he did get the contract he wanted.

I think the NFL should revisit the pass interference rule being a spot foul in the age of record scoring and protection of players.

Rams and the Chiefs continue to roll. Rams look really good, but I'm not buying the Chiefs - it's still an Andy Reid team with a young QB.

Can't believe the day Mason Crosby had, in a dome no less. Did he owe his bookie or something? I guess everyone has their day. Packers better get it together for the 49ers next week because they have a tough stretch after that - Rams, Pats, Fins, Seahawks, Vikes, Falcons are all on the horizon.

How about Brees passing Peyton Manning for yard thrown? Nice to see, on a long TD no less. Brees is one of those guys that is hard to root against.

I was watching that game in a Michigan bar in Chicago so most of the customers were Lions fans. It was laughter, bewilderment and, "Oh my God are you kidding?". Hard to say how that game would have turned out had he made those kicks. Easy to say Green Bay would have won but the Lions would have played differently were it closer. They were able to run the ball for instance.

Yeah, Pack just looked off (I'm sure Will's Northwoods Inn was pretty quiet). Down their top 2 WRs with the JV squad learning on the job. Plus Crosby didn't make Rodgers fumble (twice). Math says it would have been closer if you score those kicks, but it just didn't look like Green Bay's day. Reminds me a little of Favre's 2000 season when Ray Rhodes was the Head Coach and GB had epic comebacks in 3 of their first 4 games - they ended up running out of gas down the stretch. You can't spot points like that every week and expect to win.

Meanwhile Patricia has beaten Brady and Rodgers after getting spanked by the Jets.

And blowing that game in Dallas. They should be 3-2.

Lions get blown out at home. Sheesh...

Packers should won that game in LA were it not for a couple of boneheaded calls.

First, run up the middle from your own 1 yard line? You're just asking for a safety.

But GB still seemingly had the game in hand, down by only 2 with 2:05 and receiving the ball back. I'm not sure what Ty Montgomery was thinking, or why special teams coaches didn't tell him to keep it in the end zone. Had he taken a knee, Pack would have had 2:05 left, 1 TO and the 2-Minute warning, from the 25 - drive 40-50 yards and a field goal wins it. Who doesn't like Rodgers' chances? Instead, he takes it out, wasting time and the 2-minute warning clock stop and only gets to the 20. And of course, he fumbles. Game over.

Too bad, it was a great game and one of GB's best of the season. Hopefully they can build on that because their upcoming schedule ain't easy.

Meanwhile, the Rams look human, but I wouldn't be against an LA-KC Super Bowl. Also, nice to watch a game in the Colosseum with the old Rams jerseys, filled with Packers fans.

I hear ya. I hope the Pack comes out and punches NE right in the mouth this Sunday.

Thinking I need to find a bandwagon to hop on for the rest of the season. Maybe Chargers or Bengals because neither have won a super bowl.

Da Bears! 😮

Well, not many jumped onto the pick em leagues, but it's still fun - the spread league is pretty close.....

well Mr. Bell was a no show today. Interesting--i see both sides of this. Steelers seemed very hard asses in not granting him an extension but again its a business and he did what he felt was best for him. Wonder who will sign him and for how much next season. Would think there will be a few clubs in need of a great talent like Bell. We shall see

Sure wish I could afford to turn down $14 million a year.
