The NFL Thread

[The Bear]

Rumours are...

Jags v Eagles
Raiders v Seahawks
Chargers v 49ers
Titans v Texans

The home teams are said to be spot on, especially Chargers and Raiders. Away teams could swap around and 49ers/Seahawks/Texans are just guesses I think.

Tight week. Top 4 only covered by 4.3 points.

Realistically next week will be the last, as it'll be down two games, then the Superbowl.

 

[Tony Towner]

I changed Fournette for McCoy at 10 to 6 on Sunday night after he was declared fit. Probably the first time I've done a last minute change this year and it's paid off. I fully expect Bear or Johnny to be Red Rum to my Crisp.

 

[The Bear]

If I hadn't stupidly missed entering the other week when I got 111 points, I'd have already won.

The only thing against the Jags and Eagles being accurate hence the Titans rumour is based on this year that would probably be picked as one of the prime time games and whether the NFL / TV companies would want that as a breakfast or even lunchtime game in the US.

 

[Tony Towner]

Raiders V Seahawks
Titans V Chargers
2 of the others

Jags v Eagles has been confirmed on a Philadelphia site.

 

[Tony Towner]

Travelodge booked for 21st and 28th October with flexible rates, so I'll cancel whichever I don't use. Why only 3 games?

 

[Johnny75]

Jags v Eagles has been confirmed on a Philadelphia site.

I'll be going to that one, should be a good game. Do you know when tickets go on sale?

 

[Tony Towner]

Ticket info released on the 18th.

 

[The Bear]

Why only 3 games?

NFL and Spurs want to make sure it all goes smoothly the first year. They did the same the first time at Wembley and Twickenham.

 

[Tony Towner]

OK, thanks

 

[Tony Towner]

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst. Fly Eagles Fly!

 

[Alan]

I really can't imagine Philly don't win this.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Enjoying this game. Still in the balance, such a pity Wentz got hurt. With him the Eagles would be Super bowl favourites IMO.

 

[Alan]

Foles has been very good today tbf.

 

[Dire Wolf]

He has been what they need him to be, decisive, smart and protected the ball. Made a handful of key throws. He's had a good game.

 

[Tony Towner]

Was at Barnsley yesterday so recorded and watched this morning. Credit goes to Pederson for his play calling, he called plays that allowed Foles to play within his limitations and other than a ropey first quarter he held it together so fair play to him.
