Open Discussion

The week kick off with something of a snoozer, as the Cowboys (6-6) visit the Bears (6-6) in a contest of two teams desperately trying to stay relevant in the playoff race.

Hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving and the latest edition of Dallas (the football team, not the soap opera, though it's hard to tell sometimes.

The biggest game on Thursday pits a pair of playoff contenders against each other as Josh Allen leads the Buffalo Bills (8-3) into Dallas to play the Cowboys (6-5). Earlier, the Chicago Bears (5-6) face the Detroit Lions (3-7-1) and somebody called David Blough, while the night game pits New Orleans (9-2) against Atlanta (3-8). Use this thread to discuss them all.

We start with a high-profile Thursday nighter, as the Colts (6-4) visit the Texans (6-4) in a game with major playoff implications. Key games on Sunday include Seattle (8-2) at Philadelphia (5-5), Carolina (5-5) at New Orleans (8-2), and Green Bay (8-2) at San Francisco (9-1).

Your Thursday nighter sees Pittsburgh (5-4) traveling to Cleveland (3-6) in hopes of ending the Browns' playoff hopes. Big Sunday games include Houston (6-3) at Baltimore (7-2), New England (8-1) at Philadelphia (5-4), and ... um, Chicago (4-5) at the Rams (5-4) in prime time?

The afternoon and prime-time games include some dandies with two teams in playoff contention. Rams-Steelers! Packers-Panthers! Vikings-Cowboys! And on Monday night, perhaps the biggest game of the year so far, as the Seahawks (7-2) visit San Francisco to take on the undefeated 49ers.

Wait, how did we reach the halfway point of the season already?! 

With a pair of division leaders (Cowboys and Ravens) on byes, Week 8 is a pretty dreary lineup.

Week 7 kicks off tonight with an AFC West matchup as the suddenly struggling Chiefs, losers of two in a row, travel to Denver to take on the Broncos. Big Sunday games include Houston (4-2) at Indianapolis (3-2), Minnesota (4-2) at Detroit (2-2-1), and Baltimore (4-2) at Seattle (5-1).

Week 6 kicks off with a snoozer, as Daniel Jones leads the injury-riddled Giants into Foxborough to face the undefeated Patriots. The rest of the weekend, however, looks stacked.
