[Jerzylvania]

Yep. I am getting off of the Titans in that game bc of the injury issues. Field maybe a mess bc of of Florence, advantage Watson. Kohr did you get that? I'm picking Houston now. Thanks.

It's taken care of.

Wow... a one minute responding time. THAT is what I call service! Thanks.

If nothing else, these picks give us some variety. And they're amusing too.

[Idzequitch]

There may not be any NFL team willing to give LeVeon Bell the money he wants, according to an NFL exec.

[Ameriganastan]

I think Sean McVay is a robot...

[Freezic Vast]

What the fuck was that Flacco?!?!

[Ameriganastan]

What the fuck was that Flacco?!?!

I think he heard you, cause he lasered that pass to Brown.

[Zurkerx]

What the fuck was that Flacco?!?!

Seeing a 28-7 for the Ravens losing is embarrassing. And this doesn't help Tucker, who is my kicker for Fantasy...

[Ameriganastan]

That terrible go on 4th down...

[Kohr]

This isn’t good news for our picks.

[Zurkerx]

This isn’t good news for our picks.

Well, it's only one pick. It appears the pressure of Lamar Jackson has dissipated.

[Idzequitch]

Whatever we thought the AFC North would be like this year, it wasn't this.

[Ameriganastan]

Whatever we thought the AFC North would be like this year, it wasn't this.

Yeah, this is gonna be a Cuyahoga on fire level clusterfuck this year.

[Zurkerx]

Whatever we thought the AFC North would be like this year, it wasn't this.

Yeah, this is gonna be a Cuyahoga on fire level clusterfuck this year.

It is still early so, anything can happen but, it's pointing to the Bengals having a good team. I still think the AFC West will be the most unpredictable though.

Bengals      15-13   Ravens             Thu 20:20 ET   NFLN        Thursday Night Football

I'm just gonna leave this here. It may not have been a 15-13 result, but, eh, close enough. SITYS.

[Thermodolia]

Well I guess I can’t use my bungles nickname anymore

[Baltimore-Ravens]

I hate Thursday games. Even more so being the road team. Fuck.

So, the Ravens O-line looked like a pile of shit. Flacco was running for his life and didn't save it many times. He was too slow delivering the ball. The defense hardly touched Dalton. The one time they did they got a 15 yard penalty for touching Andy. The secondary was out of position to make pays on the ball, AJ Green made them pay and pay. Harbs and the coordinators called a lousy game.

On the bright side John Brown is a great receiver. Rookie (4th round) LB Kenny Young is gonna be a star in this league.

Mixon makes the Bengals a real threat to get something accomplished.

As for the officiating, whenever you hear the ref's name begins with "Walt" (Coleman or Anderson) your heart sinks because they stink. However, in this game the shit officiating wasn't the decisive factor.

So, fuck Thursday night Joe Buck football. Nobody needs jerk NFL network's serf serving bullshit.

In the AFC could this be the Year of the Cat? Jags & Bengals? *vomit coming up into mouth*

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime... hey dey sounds like Bengals players.

Feel free to howl with laughter as the Browns actually (GASP!) win a game, Russell Wilson stomps all over Mitch Trubisky, and the Giants finally come out on top in the fiercest rivalry in the NFC.

ELO (The Electric Light Orchestra) could probably make better picks than these^.

Maybe, but they are currently beating all of us this week!

[Zurkerx]

I hate Thursday games. Even more so being the road team. Fuck.

So, the Ravens O-line looked like a pile of shit. Flacco was running for his life and didn't save it many times. He was too slow delivering the ball. The defense hardly touched Dalton. The one time they did they got a 15 yard penalty for touching Andy. The secondary was out of position to make pays on the ball, AJ Green made them pay and pay. Harbs and the coordinators called a lousy game.

On the bright side John Brown is a great receiver. Rookie (4th round) LB Kenny Young is gonna be a star in this league.

Mixon makes the Bengals a real threat to get something accomplished.

As for the officiating, whenever you hear the ref's name begins with "Walt" (Coleman or Anderson) your heart sinks because they stink. However, in this game the shit officiating wasn't the decisive factor.

So, fuck Thursday night Joe Buck football. Nobody needs jerk NFL network's serf serving bullshit.

In the AFC could this be the Year of the Cat? Jags & Bengals? *vomit coming up into mouth*

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime... hey dey sounds like Bengals players.

Oooh, a cat fight. Now that would be interesting to see although, a Bengal Tiger is much stronger and Larger than a Jaguar.

I’m fine with a Bengals vs Jags AFC championship game. As long as the Patriots are dust I’m happy

[Thermodolia]

Well we lost Freeman, Jones, and Neal from our defense due to injuries. Fuck
