    Houston at NE is too easy a pick right? So look for the Texans to go down.

    That feels like a pretty hefty spread for Commanders-Ravens.

    Was just about to post the same. Even with the Commies on the road, getting the same number of points as the Panthers seems awfully rich.

    Also, the Ravens' defense is looking quite vulnerable against the pass. Sure, Daniels isn't Burrow and McLaurin isn't Chase, but it seems like Washington can take advantage.

    We have an Iowa situation with the Browns. Unders the rest of the way out.

    Yep, Daniels isn’t Burrow.

    Burrow can’t run.

    I haven't had the chance to watchin him this season. He used to be able to run, though not like Daniels. Let's maybe see Daniels do a little more before we assume he can pass at this level consistently.

    Burrow can scramble a bit if the pocket is breaking down, but he's not really running threat.

    Burrow can break the pocket and pick up a first down if he has to, but yeah, he's not a Lamar Jackson or Jayden Daniels who can make a second and third guy miss in the open field and turn it into a 75-yard touchdown.
    What Burrow was always really good at was moving around in the pocket. At LSU and his first couple of years with the Bengals, he would take sacks but he was usually able to make the first guy miss and get an extra look at a receiver. One of his best plays at LSU was against Texas early in the 2019 season, when he avoided a sack, stepped up in the pocket and found Justin Jefferson for a long game-clinching touchdown.
    I haven't watched the Bengals enough this year to see if he's still got that after his injuries, or if it's limited him.

    Saleh’s the problem? Really? He picked Zach Wilson? He tore Rodgers’ Achilles 4 snaps into season? He’s why Riddick isn’t on the field? He’s why Rodgers threw 3 picks for first time in what 5 yrs? I’ve been a fan of Saleh since he was in SF so somewhat biased. During him and keeping Hackett is so wrong. I guess Rodgers screwed up another team.
