NFL Tuesday Takeaways & Picks update
After watching all the games this weekend these are my thoughts.
Dear God, Mahomes and the Chiefs are ridiculous. The Bucs are still inevitable and every other team is a a significant step below.
The Rams are the closest teams to the Bucs and Chiefs. There are a lot of good teams and a lot of bad teams.
Dear heavens mercy what were the Giants doing, they are sooooo bad. They can’t block anyone and Daniel Jones looks like the worst starting QB in the league.
The Falcons look lost, why can’t the Titans block anyone and why are the Bears doing this to us? Play Justin Fields already, SHEESH!
Arizona going into Nashville and completely embarrassing the Titans, led by Kyler and his 5 TDs along with Chandler Jones and his 5 SACKS! Easily the biggest surprise of the weekend.
Speaking of surprising, the Packers look like they need to practice, Rodgers looks like he misses the Jeopardy set, because that was a pathetic performance against Jameis and the Saints.
The Colts and Wentz looked beyond rusty as Seattle just waltzed into town and dominated that game from start to finish. Wentz + Reich need to get their act together.
The Cowboys had a tough loss to Tampa on opening night, a loss primarily due to poor special teams play. They’re dealing with a suspension to La’el Collins for the next 5 games and not having Gallup for the next month hurts too. Let’s see if they can avoid an 0-2 start at the Chargers Sunday and their future MVP QB Justin Herbert. Herbert converted 13 3rd downs against Washington, insanely impressive.
The Ravens look like the unluckiest team in the league with all of their injuries, it will be tough to bounce back from a week 1 MNF OT walk-off loss. It doesn’t get any easier with the Chiefs on deck Sunday.
An NFL record 9 underdogs won this past weekend tying the record for the most underdogs to win in week 1 in the Super Bowl era. I’ll be betting that there’s some overcorrection by the sportsbooks this weekend.
