Bankers '17-'18 NFL

[survive]

He is a go. How well can he play? That remains to be seen.

Yeah he could be used as a decoy tonight

[2daBank]

It's good to hear this from a non-Packer fan haha because this is exactly my thoughts as well. Although I hate blaming the refs, I truly think this game would have gone different had they called a fair game.

I mean pack were in bad spot missing both tackles and Jordy going down plus atl opening new stadium. I dunno that they would have won or not but certainly think that game comes down to the end if the pick plays are being called or not called fairly on both sides.

Just him out there should open stuff up for other guys.

[KRIT]

Any lean tonight? GMen seem like the play with back against the wall but not sure I can put money on that weak oline and old man manning. I love their defense, but that offense is awful, especially without Beckham. Not sure who is going to age worst as a NFL QB, Eli or his brother.

I like gmen, much bigger game for them and really don't think lions have the pass rush to fully exploit the oline, plus they have a lot of high draft picks on that line I'd suspect they show some improvement.. I've never liked Eli, don't expect a guy who was average at best in his prime to age well, lol..

Sets up a perfect storm if lions look bad tonight vs this nyg d which I suspect they will. then they go home and are dogs to atl where I'll be all over lions., gmen travel to philly after this so they better get this game cause I don't see them winning in philly.

I want to take Lions but only thing I'm hesitant about is that Falcons will be on turf. I love fading ATL on the road, but they will be on turf. Gmen's line will get exposed next week in Philly, they have a really good front.

Like you, I love taking teams that look bad and fading teams that look great the prior week. Buffalo over Denver is the definition of that game. I don't know why, but LA Rams shouldn't be favored over anyone on the road, that line is a pick'em at best.

That atl/det game will be a shootout. I'm not in any hurry there. Hopefully lions look bad tonight and that line shoots up several more points as folks overreact.

Donks/bills reeks of a under. Points gonna be really tough to come by in that game.. unlike Dallas I suspect bills won't come out trying to pass all over like morons and only give shady 4 1st half touches. I still think donks can be run on, boys just never gave zeke the chance cause Garrett a idiot..

Agree Philly dline will be a huge problem for gmen next week.. would love for gmen to look good tonight so we can get philly at -3..

[2daBank]

Gmen -3 (1x)..not a easy play cause honestly I think lions the better team. This game much more important to gmen and while I think lions a better team I don't think this a good head to head matchup for them.

I suspect Detroit's rushing game will get better as the year progresses (assuming Abdullah can stay healthy), that kid talented and they invested in the oline I just think it takes time when you never had much a rushing culture and you add pieces on the oline.

Gmen defense is gonna be very tough for a one dimensional offense. I probably defended stafford's contract more than anyone as I think he a very good player. this just a tough ask in a hostile environment against a very good defense that is in about a must win spot as you can have in sept (already 0-1 w 2 road games on deck). Without a strong rushing attack to help stafford gonna be under fire all night and his WRs won't have much separation. He will have to be brilliant for lions to put up many points in this one.

On other side gmen cant possibly be worse than last week! Even a gimpy Odell will help open the other guys up as he has to be accounted for. This is prime time and obj being who he is even at less than 100% id still except him to make 1 or 2 impact plays.

You can't discount the impact of hearing how bad you are all week! Expect this oline to be fired up tonight and put up a far better effort, let's remember they have a lot of high draft picks on this line so there is talent. They facing a lions defensive front who's best pass rusher is banged up and doesn't exactly strike fear like the better defensive fronts do. Next week vs philly gonna be a far bigger problem for gmen oline than tonight where they have a winnable matchup.

Probably not gonna be pretty, gmen defense will carry the night. The offense will look to establish some semblance of a running game behind a embarrassed oline that should be out to prove something. Expect this to be a field position game nyg can win in the trenches and makes a few big plays when needed in a game I see being fairly low scoring,
23-16 giants.

[Pick'nParlays]

bol 2daB, thanks for the write up.

[shocka1212]

Weather not the greatest up here today. Stafford is as soft as cloth the second he gets a drop of rain on him. giants win these tough games and really only like to lose when its served up on a platter for them. 5 point win I think here for NY. 26-21 (late TD to hit the over)

Well wtf shocka talking bout then?? Lol.. honestly I didn't even check weather since I don't think rain would negatively effect our side. Now that I think about it tho I did check weather in the baseball game and didn't see rain in forecast.. cmon shocka!!

[deary626]

Bank, are you good on the nfl football pool? I need some winning picks lol

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

Looking at early lines and a couple jump out at me Banker

Pittsburgh -7 @ Chicago
Denver -3.5 @ bills
KC-3.5 @ Chargers
Wash at home +3.5 against Raiders(Really like this one)

What are your thoughts on these?

[jameski999]

Losing money on Eli is the worst feeling.

[2daBank]

I dunno bout good, lol. I usually win the cash 2-3 times a year.. started playing a full season one last year w about 100 ppl and didn't finish great overall but actually won 4 individual weeks . Most weeks I'm no better than 50/50 then few times a year all the stars alight and the dogs I take win!! Lol

[2daBank]

Can't believe we got a turnover and that clown handed it right back.

I really havnt did any work on them yet buddy.

Off top of my head I'd say no way I'd touch steelers, Big Ben sucks on road and think bears will be a tough out at soldier field this year, Tampa was just a bad matchup for them.

Obviously I need to adjust my rating on donks cause they been better than I thought, that said I still don't think they great offensively and Simien makes a lot of bad throws he has mostly gotten away with up to this point, I'd be very wary of laying more than a fg cause I think points gonna be tough to come by for both teams.

Chargers a fg kicker away from being 2-0, love me some kc but again not a game I'd be looking to lay more than 3. Dangerous game for kc here, I have a lot I want to look at in this one and will prob start later tonight but initially lean chargers and probably over..

Going back to last year I feel like every time I go against raiders I get burned, so many good spots last season and so many times game looks great after 3 qrtrs then raiders come back and fukk me. So while I tend to agree I seriously doubt I will be against Oakland no matter how good a play it may be. Cousins and that passing game still hasn't gotten on track and they gonna have to put up a large number to hang here me thinks.

[2daBank]

Can't believe that kick went thru. Fukk that might be the dagger.. fukkin Gruden such a clown he says "that might be most dramatic fg he has ever seen", seriously guy? Lol.

[Pick'nParlays]

any second half play?

leaning over 21.5 will buy hook to 21

Na not for me.. think you might be on to something w over, should get there long as giants shitbag coach doesn't just throw in the towel. Eli trying to come from behind should lead to points for someone.

[lyon804]

Giants came to play, some spirited play on there behalf but Manning is really a scrub..

[2daBank]

He demoralized whole team when they got that turnover and he handed it right back.. freaking gmen defense been on field sooo much these 2 games, they in for a long year if that dipshit and his garbage coach can't come up w a way to put some drives together.

[lyon804]

You are so right. Throws behind wide open reciever for pick and holds the ball forever and take sacks. Is he the best Giants have on roster at QB. Id yank his ass and go try win game!

[shocka1212]

Defense can only do so much.. they deserve better

[2daBank]

And gruden of course making excuses for him saying he has no time or help. That some bs he holding the ball too long and making crap throws.

[2daBank]

Macadoo is crap-a-doo

[lyon804]

Yeah i can see it and i dont know shit. In first half he held ball to long... and Flower needs benched too!

[2daBank]

3rd and 9 and they throw a 3 yard pass, lol.. game over.

[lyon804]

Giants Fans should quit buying tickets to watch this shit show. I cant believe this is the best left tackle and QB that organization can come up with.

I can't believe the coach can't figure out a blocking scheme to give him some help. Lions only have one big time pass rusher so maybe ya know help the guy he lining up in front of! It really not that hard as they making it out to be!! Lol.. defense gets it right back for them, now fukkin reward them and move the stinking ball!!

[2daBank]

Another 3 and out here and the d will fold up. Eli has to get something accomplished on this drive.

[lyon804]

Yep, Giants are at a low point. I cant believe that coach is employed with them and whose drafting Flowers 9th overall?
