Patriots/NFL 2018 Regular Season III - 5-2 - On to Buffalo - 10/29 8:15 PM

Ravens/Panthers
Seahawks/Lions
49ers/Cardinals

I think the Panthers are a little fraud-y, but the Ravens on the road aren't as tough.

I wouldn't bet on it, but I like the Seahawks coming off a bye. They aren't as bad as people think.

Only going with the Cards cause they are home, but I do think the 49ers play better than last week.

Thanks

Gruden blowing up the team is fine, they weren't very good to begin with, and it's clear that 12-4 year was an anomaly.

That being said, he needs to get a real GM, not Reggie McKenzie, and not a "yes man" type GM.

Carr for Bortles and a 1st makes a lot of sense for the Raiders/Jags. Raiders pay Bortles for one more season then let him walk, while Jags get better at their worst position, and the most important position in football.

Gruden goes into 2019 draft with 4 1sts. Can get any player he wants with that capital.

LOL was ACTUALLY going to mention that. I watched something yesterday I think with David Carr(LOL) talking about Bortles may not be the QB the Jaguars need to get them over the hump. Thought a 1st for Carr would be a good trade for the Raiders.

I think the Raiders are the oldest team in the league. So I would imagine they say goodbye to some older players in the offseason and then they have all these draft picks. The jury is obviously still out on Gruden but he's certainly buying himself a lot of time with his contract and the fact he's completely overhauling the team. Honestly though if you don't think you can win with the current group, it makes a lot of sense to accumulate as many high picks as you can and start over.

I'd go with Panthers, Lions, 49ers.

Agreed

I wouldnt trust Gruden's drafting.

A Raider friend of mine mentioned knowing this franchise they will draft a kicker, punter and place holder

Team better hope its good in a few years, I highly doubt Vegas people brought the team over thinking they would have to watch some ****ty team.

Raiders have a dedicated fan base but I have seen many say theyre done because of the move and trades.

Sucks for Oakland. Raiders moving to LV and Warriors to SF.

Yeah that stadium being full will be dependent on away fans and Raider fans wanting expensive destination weekends in order to attend a game. Might work if they are really good but if they suck who knows.

A Vegas local might be down to go check the game out for 20 bucks on stubhub even if they suck but thats not a city that wants to pay 50 bucks for parking I'd assume that most of the population never sets foot on the strip now that they charge you to park in a friggen casino there are plenty closer and easier to get to. Could get ugly. An MLS team will outdraw the Raiders.

Sure the city could use a better stadium than Sam Boyd but how many events are 80,000 people going to fly in for?

I don't think that Oakland has great fans though they haven't opened Mt Davis in years no other team has to tarp off an entire upper deck like that and thats in the wealthiest and most expensive metro area in the country.
