I need to get involved with NFL again, but need to choose a team. Was always a Dan Marino Miami Dolphins shirt wearing kid, but need some advice.

 

Which team is it worth following? Thinking about going down to Wembley to watch a game - anyone done it? Any help welcomed. Could just stick with the Dolphins and get tickets off Stub Hub for their game against New York Jets the day after the QPR game.

 

Which are the Liverpool/Man Utd of the NFL world to avoid?

Ravens fans get to see more records broken than Roy Castle. Go on Lamar lad!

What a weekend that was. Cards looking good; that Cowboys-Pats game was a cracker; A-Rod giving it to the fans of the despised Bears. Not sure why but this new Aaron Rodgers Stanford University scruffy cunt look seems to be working for him. Long may it continue.

Some of the college games were immense too. It's a bastard when all this ends early in the new year.

Titans v Bills starting right now, could be a good one

Just watched the highlights 

It was 

Bills went for the first down at the death rather than the fg which cost them 

Derrick Henry did a 76 yard rush TD 

A nice 2 point conversion for the bills as well 

 

I never understand teams doing that. Think I read the stats favour going for it in situations like that in terms of overall percentage ending up winning game even taking into account o/t

still fancy the bills although the ravens looked exceptional against the chargers 

Nothing I have seen so far changes my mind that the Cardinals will be the team to stop and that the Bills will come up short when it really matters either by bottling it or by poor decision making.

The Ravens could do anything when Lamarr is in the mood and the Rams are moving along nicely again. Brady and the Buccs can't be written off the way they are playing. Looks like it will be a cracking season.

I just hope Mr. Rodgers can go all the way but looking at the aforementioned stack of talent, I don't hold out too much hope.

 

Surprised there have been no more comments on here after round 7. Some great games there. the Lions took everyone by surprise the way they started! Bengals looking good.

Packers win again but away to the Cards this coming Thursday should be a real eye opener. Hoping the Pack can come out on top but I have my doubts. Arizona are looking like the complete package to me.

I backed the Cards at 12/1, they're still 8/1 behind the Bills, the Buccs and the Packers in the betting.

If they beat the Packers I guess they must be real contenders, but Rodgers and co. are looking very strong. If they can overcome playoff hoodoos you'd have to think this is their year.

Of course, you write off the Buccs and their psychic QB at your peril.

Bubbling nicely.

Unless you're a Jets fan. Obviously.

Week 7 just wasn't as noteworthy as other Sundays, perhaps?
Not as many games, not many close games either.

My team, Broncos, were poor again Thursday night. I know a few Jets fans and their lot are shockingly bad : conceding 50+ pts to this season's Pats is awful.

Bengals going really well, Packers keep winning without really being convicing, Buccs keep on going, Kansas look spent.

You do realise that history was made? In 16,889 games, there has never before been a 31-5 result as achieved by the Cards against the Texans. A mine of useless information

Yeah, there's been three or four unique scores achieved this season.

Jets trading for Joe Flacco 🤣

Just shut the entire thing down and give the franchise to Mexico City or london.

There’s chat about Cam Newton as a back up as well.

Fuck it, get Geno in whilst they’re at it. A full muppet show.

Mark Sanchez would be a better bet than fucking Joe Flacco

Joe Flaccid

Just as long as the Jets remain consistent this coming weekend against the Bengals. A mad bookmaker down here has given our punters club even money on a Liverpool - Bengals win double.

For both to just win?

That should be about 1/2 odds, I'd have guessed

No Adams for the packers this week

The 40/1 on the Cards looking well thus far

Raiders going suprisingly well, Carr been brillaint so far

Bills host Dolphins after a bye, should see them sniffing at the top of the afc 

Results wise so far nfc looking stronger

Yes mate - just a win double. I agree - I would have rated it around a 1/2 shot.

Aye mate - seems ridiculously generous. The bloke who runs this punters club is based in Sydney and uses 5 different accounts. Best I have been able to find with my accounts has been 1.65.

No absolute certainties in life as we all know but I can't argue that he hasn't found value with this one.

Back to Thursdays game, Looks like both Adams and Lazard out for the Packers and J.J. Watt for the Cards. Looking like a Cards win to me but I live in hope. Would have been good to see both at full strength but even then I fancy the Cards would edge it.

 

interesting to see where watson ends up, one of the very best QB's
