It's going to be an interesting week. I went against the wisdom of the crowd on six picks. I don't actually think the Vikings will beat Carolina this week, but I think we'll likely make it an interesting game. I suspect it will be closer than the spread.

Apparently Carson Wentz is the next Ben Roethlisberger. The Steagles game should be interesting this week.

Well fuck. I guess I should have trusted in Belichick more. The defense has been incredible, and the offense has been pretty good too, especially rushing.

Another revenge season is underway for Belichick.
I expect some of the more terrible teams to get the score run up on them. I remember that 52-7 shellacking they put on the Redskins and then two weeks later they murked the Bills by nearly the same margin.
Going for it on 4th down in the 4th quarter when you're up by 45 points. 'Bout to get real unsportsmanlike in here.

I'm not too far off the wisdom of the crowd this week. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Knock Cam down, help him up, knock him down again. Repeat frequently. It's easy for defenses to get into Cam's head and the Vikes have a good, agressive, physical defense.
