Can it be true? Oh, can it be true? No conflicts have occurred this week. That shocks me and I know you are shocked too.
This week has a host of storylines starting with the Thursday night game. The New York Football Giants will travel to Washington. Both teams come into the contest with a 1-2 record. The loser of this game will most likely fall to 1-5. That record still may be good enough to win the NFC East.
Other storylines from around the league:
- Can the Chargers winning streak continue without a running game?
- How will Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles fair in their 1st NFL starts?
- Will the Patriots a Play well against a “good” team?
- Can Da Bears or 49ers play a complete game?
- Will Geno Smith or Ryan Tannehill get benched?
The Down the Line Sports Blog has on again had a winning week. Actually going into last week, my picks were better than all of the experts on NFL Sunday Countdown on ESPN.
Last week: 9-7
Overall: 31-17
Bye: Arizona, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle, St. Louis
