Tampa Bay
Who am I to question the GOAT?!
Jacksonville
Some sort of home game for the Jaguars, but the Dolphins can put up a fight here and there. On the other hand. I saw two video footages: one from Meyer, the now dismissed coach, speaking about how desperate they are (a team in full rebuild with a Rookie QB - nobody would expect wonders), and Lawrence, who was confident, that they will learn and at some point eventually turn it around. He sounded like a mature adult while Urban...I guess the college student (the blond female one from the clip that ended his tenure) is more mature than him.
I give Lawrence the benefit of the doubt.
LA Chargers
Strongest team of their division.
Minnesota
Sam Darnold has regressed to his former self. I guess the Panthers could win, but by now it is a mental thing. The Vikings were all the time that close but they never gave up...and at some point they will be rewarded.
Chicago
Fortuna IMperatrix Mundi. You don't win anything if you don't risk anything.
The Packers aren't that dominant as in the years before. On paper a clear victory of The Packers, I will most likely regret this pick, but I'm going the bold (and stupid?) way.
A victory over the Steelers does not mean that much these days anyway.
Cincinnati
Even my willingness to go for a risk, has its limits.
Indianapolis
Maybe the toughest call for me. I said it more than once: Wentz is a bust. But not inasmuch that he can't play, that there is not the potential to be a good QB, but - imho - he has some sort of mental blockade. Something Darnold make to struggle with by now. And this insecurity has also affected the entire team. The choking, and incapability to secure a lead and bring it home it one symptom of it.
What if...what if we screw this up now...this is too good to be true.
Maybe they need a mental coach.
LA Rams
Kansas City
So much for this dynasty...
Browns
The Cardinals seem to get a bit "tired", while fighting is the domain of the Browns
Las Vegas
The Broncos are just shy above the Jets, Jagaurs and Co., they had three duds at the beginning, and I don't buy this band wagon that they are a halfway decent team. They are next to garbage.
Dallas
An up-coming powerhouse.
And if the Texans can bring us close to a defeat -, and if the refs hadn't killed the last good drive of the Texans with a flag (a face grab like in the Bucs game...it was slightly touching, not grabbing into it), we had been done,- how should we deal with the Cowboys?!
Even bad weather and the refs won't help us against a good offensive team with a secondary.
Pittsburgh
Need vs. Misrey, but without Wilson even the Steelers can take on the Seahawkes.
Six or eight weeks without Wilson... I said it before, I say it again: their season is ruined and every victory will only hurt their draft position and schedule for the next year. If one applies the concept of game theory on their situation, they will tank for good draft picks - to stack up their O-line, or to have capital for trades.
Buffalo
At the moment the best team of the league.
