2024-25 NFL Season
- Thread starter Doc Holliday
- Start date
I’m going to lean the other way here.
I don’t see the Cowboys losing at home in back to back weeks! Home field has been their bread and butter for a while now, and I’m expecting a much much better effort tomorrow versus Baltimore.
Aside from Lamar and Henry, Ravens don’t look right.
I can’t really argue with the points you make. However I’m picking the Ravens to win mostly they’ve yet to win a game & could easily be 2-0. Losing tomorrow may very well be the season for them. And most importantly the Saints gave them the blueprint on how to beat the Cowboys. Run, run, run, run! Plus the Ravens defence is better than the Saints defence & the Cowboys will have difficulty moving the ball against them.
Well to my great surprise Justin Herbert is not only playing today but playing extremely well so that kind of screws up my pick!
In Minnesota Sam Darnold is playing great & the defence has been coming up big. Darnold is another example of a great college QB who was rushed too early into the league on a crappy team. After spending time on crappy teams like the Jets & Carolina he got to spend a year in SF as a backup & now as a starting QB on a good team with a great WR in Minnesota it looks like he’s finally playing to his potential.
So far the Saints are looking good vs Philly. Go Saints!

The Giants would be up 14-0 on the Browns except they fumbled the opening kickoff. So it's 14-7.
Malik Nabers is a stud! Best Giants WR since Odell Beckham Jr.!
Meanwhile Dexter Lawrence is terrorizing DeShaun Watson who has been SACKED 4 times, and the Cleveland fans are raining boos down on their Browns!

21-7 Giants over Browns at half. Should be 21-0, the only points the Browns scored were off Giants fumble of opening kickoff, since then they have been skunked.
Meanwhile DeShaun Watson has been sacked 7 times by the Giants defense, 2 Cleveland OL have been injured attempting to pass protect, and Watson is running for his life.
Saints left too much time on the clock when they scored their TD just before the two-minute warning. I was shouting at the tv “Milk the clock! Milk the clock!” And a break in coverage led to that big passing play with a minute left which led to an easy TD by the Eagles. Not converting on the 2-pt conversion didn’t help either.
I expect a tough game for the Chiefs tonight. It would be a mistake to take the Falcons lightly. By the way Miami is absolutely awful without Tua. And Derek Henry & the Ravens are trampling all over the Cowboys!
Losing to the Giants must be terribly embarrassing! I’m starting to worry about the Browns’ playoff chances after today’s embarrassment to one of the league’s worse teams!
Ouffff...CHIEFS 22 FALCONS 17....another très ordinaire performance by MAHOMES....not a great game again......BUT CHAMPS always find their way to win....lol.....and what a bad play/decision by the FALCONS / on a 4th down and inches with less than a min. to play...to run the ball en périmètre....wow....and that was it......and now GO BILLS.
The NFL is very competitive, with many games being decided by one score. Which is why Cowboy coaching decisions like going for it on 4th and 3 rather than kick a chip shot FG for 3 points came back to bite Eagles coach Nick Sirianni in the ass last week against the Falcons.
The Giants won the game against Browns by blitzing DeShaun Watson much of the first half and sending him into frenzied flushes out of the pocket and for his life. After the Giants got the 2 TD lead, they stopped the blitzing that allowed them to get 8 sacks of Watson. It didn't help the Browns that they lost two offensive lineman during the first half, plus Myles Garrett also got injured or aggravated his prior injury. But after the blitzing stop they mounted a couple of decent drives.
Things like injuries on an OL and changes in scheme or strategy can make a big difference in any NFL game. The line between winning and losing is a very fine line. The Dolphins lost their starting QB and now their backup QB and now one wonders when they will next be favored in any game.
I will be curious how the Giants will do Thursday night on the Prime game, but they looked good yesterday. Malik Nabers looked All World as he became the youngest WR in NFL history with 2 TDs in a game and couldn't be slowed down until the Browns finally had to put Denzel Ward on him as Nabers was eating up the other CB. Daniel Jones looked solid, and the pass rush was terrific.
I was very impressed with how the Ravens looked, and still think they could be the best team in the NFL. The combination of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry makes for an unstoppable running attack.

Here is a really good ESPN article on Joe Burrow and his rise to stardom while at LSU. I still don't think we have seen the best of this guy in the NFL, but we might this year:

Inside Joe Burrow's rise to football stardom
In a remarkable 18-month stretch, Joe Burrow went from an unknown transfer to a Heisman megastar.
I like this kid.....he brought a breath of fresh air to this team and NFL.....we all remember years ago when this team was the laughing-stock/league with half of the players in jail.....lolll....will watch him more....and with MAHOMES more quiet he is one those who deserves more attention....BUT tonight it will b all for JOSH.
