Recap
DEN
I'll take my chances with DEN only needing to win. And win they just did in a lackluster 10-7 victory. Were they looking ahead to KC this coming week?
TB -
NE winning at TB by more than a TD, I can't envision it. Ok this was a nutty one, as I watched the NE long TD run late to put them ahead of +7.5 and then watched Mayfield get it back even later to get the W. After TB went down and scored on the first drive to go up 7-0 this team disappeared especially on key offensive plays and defensive plays. I will admit I haven't given NE their due and I still won't. They've played the easiest schedule in the league and would you believe me if I told you Sagarin had them rated as the 16th best team.

Off a much needed bye week. Won't matter even if GB wins the game, they aren't blowing out PHI. Let's just say this game was ugly. PHI wins the game with only 13 First Downs of which 1 came by penalty. Neither team inspired confidence going forward. There is something seriously wrong going on in GB and for PHI to come out so poorly after a bye week is a cause of concern. However it's the NFL and teams will take a W any way they can. This one was never in doubt at any point and an easy winner for us to finish off this play.
A winner in the books after a brief 2 loss skid and we are still ahead for the season and looking for more. These plays really only get harder from here as some teams appear to have checked out, some are still playing for something even if it's nothing and some are on cruise control.
The NFL isn't the same as it was even five years ago, parity is at a all time high and week to week anything can happen. To have a winning record and plus money on these plays isn't easy.
On to next...........
