The Joke has a new area code. Today the Giants traded Kadarious Toney for pics. He went to the KC Chiefs who’ve been in need of a game breaking WR this entire season. New meme: F-It the Joke out there somewhere. Yes, but will he play? I suspect the hamstring stuff was at least partially real and a result of Joke not knowing the script and not feeling the plan to manage his snap count. Daboll is straight forward: You gotta earn reps. That old school thinking has led to the scrappiest Giants squad I’ve EVER seen. Not the best–they don’t have the game changing Linebackers or a single remaining WR who can be relied upon to catch the ball, or a Tight End who earned the right to start, but they’ve got PLUCK.
With the Chiefs taking it easy this week I’m left to consider other teams to discuss at the wire. The Ravens take on the Bucs tonight, and Brady is staring at the future of the QB position. Fortunately for him, the Bucs have a serious LB corps. That will slow Lamar down, but it won’t stop him. BAL over TB.
Denver is a really really bad team with a QB who is over, but doesn’t know it yet. JAX over DEN
CAR over ATL is tough to call, but I’m doing it. I think this young PJ Walker led squad has a ton to prove and that will be the difference.
DAL over CHI. I mean they just dumped a key defender for what?
MIA over DET. This DET team keeps having huge games and losing.
MIN over AZ. No faith in the Cards.
NO over LV. Two teams that should be dope but are not. Expect points.
JETS over NE. Yeah, I’m calling this one for the JETS. Crazy, right?
PIT over PHI. Coming off a bye into a game against a 2-5 team desperate to show what their D can do, I see the Eagles losing in a low scoring affair.
TEN over HOU
WAS over IND in the battle of the replacement QBs!
SF over LA in the real debut of McCaffrey.
BUF keeps rolling over GB
CIN keeps rolling over CLE
