Patriots have an 82% chance of winning this game, so that's my pick.

Man, I hate the Patriots.

Why?

Tom Brady’s record against Buffalo is something like 60-3. Belichick is the primary reason the Bills lost that first Super Bowl no matter what anyone tells you about Wide Right (by outplaying them, but still). Gronk is a shithead who laid an irredeemably dirty hit on our rookie last year when they were already winning. Etc.

Independent of that, there are the cheating scandals, and yes, I know every team does everything it can to get an advantage, but Brady and Bill are so good already that they don’t even need to illegally film or destroy cell phones, but they do anyway, and that makes it feel cheap. They’re both incredible at what they do and Brady’s story is tremendous, but they frustrate me a lot.

I am drooling over Matthew Stafford and Marvin Jones if he plays. Those dudes own Green Bay.

You better hope your team with legitimate playoff aspirations doesn’t face the Bills this season, you’ll activate our trap card.

Gano ftw.

Mason Crosby should have retired at halftime.

yay Gano! I thought that was going to be a L.

So did OBJ.

I'm glad the Browns won but dang it I didn't pick them.

Dallas tonight

Dome, sweet dome. I’ll pick the Saints tonight.

Agreed.

Drew Brees has thrown over 40 miles of football in his career, overtaking Peyton Manning's record for all-time NFL passing yards.

Philadelphia @ New York Giants

With Ajayi out for the Iggles, I’ll tempt fate and pick the New York football Giants tonight.

Gimme the birds

I don't know man.

After Graham Gano slung a stone from the parking lot to slay a gloating Giant, I'm thinking the Philistines at home get angry.

The Eagles have a reputation as a strong run defense, and they do...except they've given up 30 receptions to running backs on average this season.

Saquon Barkley is a running back who catches a lot of passes.

And the Eagles are third worst against wide receivers this season, having surrendered 84 catches for 1064 yards and 7 touchdowns.

The Giants have this dude named Odell Beckham, Jr.

The Giants also have the best defense against wide receivers this season, having surrendered a measly 51 receptions for 659 yards and just two touchdowns.

They've been about as stingy against tight ends.

And as a home dog, Eli Manning has been all over the map...good, bad, ugly...

...but against the Eagles as a home dog, Manning has gone bananas.

Holy cow, I love watching Saquon run.

Dude is a staple in my fantasy lineups. Just consistent as hell.

Looks like the Book of Eli may be on its final chapter.

Y’all make sure to pick the Seattle/Oakland game on time, and be aware that it’s actually in London (not really @Oakland).

So yes, as I was saying, the Giants are atrocious by any measurable standards.

Everybody is criticizing them for taking Saquon and not a QB, but I think they’ll be bad enough to get their choice under center next year anyway. Not too many QB-needy teams at the moment.
