    Saints are playing lights out right now. Brees is on a record setting pace and the D is catching up rapidly with the O. Last two weeks have been walkovers.

    When teams are having easy walkovers you wonder when they are due for a ""sleepover" it happens.....look at Pit in the previous 5 games before this last one.

    Those trap games, no team physically and mentally can be up for 16 straight games and the playoffs, not even the 1972 Dolphins. 😉

    I can understand why, but you forgot about the Packers in the NFC (4-5-1).

    Lots of mediocre teams at the moment. AFC South and NFC East especially.

    Loose?  As in watery bowels?   Loose Lips sink ships. 

    Next week will change even if they don't "loose".

    Only team it would affect is the Ravens....   Winner of the Dolphins- Colts will jump them....   If you're talking seeding, Pittsburgh losing would at least temporarily cost them the #2 seed, as a win by any of the three 7-3 teams going to 8-3 is better than a potential Steelers 7-3-1.

    Yea, I think they slipped by me.  they would still be in the pecking order over the Lions.  Anyone within a game of .500 still has a sporting chance at a playoff spot.

    Browns play Bengals....in Cinci.   Still think Browns have a sporting chance.   Ravens play Raiders..who they should handle.

    True, but he's got a faltering Atlanta in the Superdome this weekend so I'm playing him instead of Ryan on my FFL team. Because of Brees to Tre'quan Smith, Barkley and Tyreek Hill I just scored the 3rd highest total in the 30 years this league I joined has been playing. Never gonna leave a winner on a streak. Too bad Hill has a bye week though.
