Starting early as there are 3 games today (well US today) as it’s Thanksgiving.

Currently watching Lions v Packers, entertaining so far. Packers playing well but Lions have a habit of fighting back.

I actually just got back from the gym and fell asleep so I missed the first game. Tough luck for the Lions who lost 3 fumbles and gave up the same in sacks. The press giving a lot of credit to the Packers but I really think the Lions made a mess of this one.
 
Next up is the Boys v the Commanders followed by the Niners at the Seahawks. I can’t see the Cowboys losing their turkey day game but the final game should be a huge game for both.

Love played really well (I wish I’d played him this week in my Fantasy team) and the Packers D put a lot of pressure on Goff and forced 2 of the turnovers. They deserved to win.
 
Seahawks really are poor on offense tonight mostly because Geno is only 50 percent fit— how it shows as he’s throwing the ball like he’s seeing double. Niners are just playing off of the Seahawks mistakes which are coming thick and fast in the first half.

Peter Carroll has been a decent Seahawks coach and has led them for a while but I don’t think we’ll see him next season.
 
Just watched the Seattle highlights (on YouTube as DAZN, which is dreadful, didn’t have them).

49ers looking good again after a dip a few weeks ago. Dallas looking good too. NFC race should be very interesting this year.
 
Who's your superbowl favourites at the moment then?

If I had to put my life savings on it I'd back the Ravens to beat the Chiefs in the AFC conference Final and the 49ers to beat the Eagles in the NFC.

Then I'd back the 49ers to beat the Ravens in the superbowl.
 
I would be backing the Eagles to beat the Chiefs in the Superbowl.

My outside bet would be the Cowboys who have looked stronger in the last few weeks. Dak is back firing

This is what I’m thinking. Although I hope Miami can get there. The problem that both the Fins and Cowboys have, is they won’t get the number one seed and will lose their first road game against decent opposition

Ask me in a couple of weeks when DTR has a couple more games under his belt 😁
If DTR can provide enough offence to get us 21 points a game then I think our defence can carry us a long way.
In all seriousness though I think it'll be between Baltimore and KC for the AFC and Philly and the Niners in the NFC.
 
Possibly the craziest end to a half you will ever see, just now, in the Jets Dolphins game.

Dolphins got the ball left with just over a minute to go, Jets had done nothing on offence, and Tua throws a pick 6. Jets miss the extra point.

Tua gets it back and gets picked again with 2 seconds left. Jets try a Hail Mary from midfield, Miami intercepts and returns it 99 yards for a TD.

Madness.
 
Well that was possibly the craziest end to a half I've ever seen (Dolphins @ Jets). Pick 6 for Jets first score then miss the point after, then the Dolphins turn it over again at midfield with 2 seconds on the clock. Jets throw a "Hail Mary" which is picked off on the goal line and ran back the full distance for a TD!
