    We have Patriots vs. Jets tonight. Jets are 6 point favorites but I think I'm staying away from every thursday game not involving the Cowboys. It's for the better.

    On sunday the Cowboys play the 0-2 Ravens at home in what looks like a "must win" game for them. Cowboys opened as 3 pt underdogs (AT HOME!!!) but now they flipped it to -1. I have no idea of what will happen. I don't trust this team. They could win or lose by 30 and I wouldn't even blink.

    The games I'll be watching:

    Eagles at Saints - The Eagles never play well in NO even when they are good. With how awful this defensive line is and how great the Saints offense is looking, I expect the Saints to win handily. Most likely AJ Brown will be out again so the Eagles best bet is a whole bunch of Saquon to control the clock as much as they can. Can Hurts finally start throwing to Goedert?? I don't understand why he is not used more.

    Ravens at Cowboys - 2 teams that I can't stand. It's an important game for both teams so it should be hard fought and fun to watch. Obviously, I'll be pulling for Lamar & Co.

    Dolphins at Seahawks - This will be on one of my tvs as my Dolphins fan buddy will be over. I will mostly pay attention in between plays of Ravens-Cowboys. Dolphins without Tua won't be nearly as much fun to watch as they normally would be.

    10 catches, 170 yards.

    What a great win for the Eagles. I can't believe their defense held the Saints to 12 points. Hurts made 2 mistakes in the first half but he played so well in the 2nd half without AJ and then Smith. Barkley was huge with the 65 yard TD run. I'm so impressed that they won this game in the fashion that they did. I don't understand who they are.

    Eagles went all in in the off season by landing Barkley. So did the Ravens with Henry. The Cowboys are a laughing stock. Did they really expect to just run Elliott out there and win a ton of ball games?

    Big win for Philly. Doing that without AJ is pretty impressive, despite Siriani.

    Ah yes...Jerry getting back together with his ex. He expected all his problems to be solved.

    The defense has taken a step back and it has been horrible to watch. The DTs would be practice squad players in any other roster. The LBs turned out to be overrated. One edge is old and washed, the other is crazy enough to create pressure on his own. The secondary is ok but not even the best one in history can hold when the opposing QB has 5 seconds to throw or can just take off running at any time.

    I've decided this year the Cowboys are not good and won't be wasting any time with them. I'll only watch if I have absolutelly nothing else to do. Like this next thursday night, for instance. I'll still be on my shift when the game starts so I'll put it as background noise.
