Rapoport saying possible 3 weeks then playing through the ailment.

Surely you can't guess that without an MRI.

Oh, come on. The AFC looks so weak. Another Patriots AFC Championship right?
Wouldn’t be so certain of that. The offense has struggled & we’re going to find out how good this D really is when the schedule gets tougher after this week.

The NFC is the better conference though.

Bills, Ravens, Texans ... Pat's have this locked barring injuries and like.

NFC is a clusterfeck. Saints have an edge with a bunch of rest nipping their heels.

The Pats already have injuries. Their offense is a mess. If they still had AB, traded for TW, and Gronk came out of retirement, then they'd have it locked.

As it is, if Lamar connects on his deep passes the Ravens could beat anyone. Same for the Texans if Fuller (or their defense) shows up. Or if Mahomes is healthy...

If Pats played against Raven or Texans right now, market would still regard them as favourites. What you are describing is an unexpected upset with below par probability. Could happen, but then anything could.

BB is already looking heavily and they have inquired on Green, Sanders etc with AB coming back not ruled out fully. If things get worse I'm sure they'd call AB.

Perhaps locked gives a impression of guaranteed, but what I meant was heavy favourites.

I don't think the Texans beating the Pats right now would be an unexpected upset.

But a healthy Green connecting with Brady would be unfair. Easy to forget how good he can be.

I love Lamar, he has made football exciting again, for me, but against a well organised defence that plays the lanes and contain, he'll struggle.

Watching some "highlights" of the Denver game.. that's the Flacco I was glad the Ravens parted with. No pocket awareness. Smack him around and he goes into his shell. He should retire at the end of this season, playing behind that OL will be murder for him.

What’s his cap hit? If he’s somewhat cheap, I’d like the Packers to at least inquire about him. Another solid receiver is badly needed.

Even though Aaron Jones just looked like one. Great play.

He's a UFA after this season if I remember correctly.

So Dolphins go for a fake field goal, get the first and then the next two plays are a sack and an interception. Amazing.

The sharps have to be sweating bullets. Taking the Giants was supposedly the bet of the year for them with the Cards being overvalued after a win.
