Welcome back to another addition of my knowings of all things related to this terrible division.
A week of surprises.
I went 6-10 in my picks this week, easily my worst week so far this season. Stunning games included the Jaguars destroying the Ravens in London, the Jets actually winning a game, and the Bears defeating the Steelers in overtime. It’s also worth noting that the Patriots and Packers could have easily lost too. I’m glad they didn’t though. I still have work to do in the KO League.
The Los Angeles Rams are the NFC West team to beat until proven otherwise.
The Rams held off a 49ers comeback to win a thriller and emerge from week 3 as the only team with a winning record in the NFC West. Jared Goff looks nothing like the horrendous rookie he was a year ago, and the Rams are actually getting something out of castoffs from the Bills, Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods. I hate making Rams fans feel empowered, but when you’re right, you’re right. The Rams look like the early favorites to win the division.
I was right about the Seahawks defense last week.
I was criticized by a select few Seahawks fans on here for saying the Titans would put 27 on them. They actually put 33 on them, so I was being nice. The Titans have a good, young team with a potentially explosive offense, while the Seahawks looked sluggish and slow throughout the day against them. That being said….
I was wrong about the Seahawks offense last week.
Too little, too late perhaps, but after looking like a flaming train wreck in the first two weeks, the Seahawks offense finally showed signs of life, giving the Titans a scare after being down 16. Their offensive line is still a complete embarrassment, but they managed to overcome it and put 27 points on the board. So
Finally a touchdown, Or 5.
The limp and lifeless 49ers offense finally showed up in full force last Thursday, putting up 39 points against a solid Rams defense. Unfortunately, just as it showed, up, the defense decided to take the week off, and they remain winless. Still, it is a great sign that they were finally able to put some points on the boards and came an extra point short of sending the game into overtime after being down 14.
They are not who we thought they were. They’re worse.
Poor Arizona. Things seemed to be going so well for a few years there. Unfortunately, age and injuries take their toll sometimes, and it looks like Arizona fits the bill this year. They have zero running game without David Johnson. Carson Palmer looks older every week. The defense doesn’t offer much hope either. They are 1-2 with their only win over the Luckless Colts. Their only hope remains in finding some sort of running game, otherwise it will be a long season.
People sat and knelt for the National Anthem like never before.
This was a slight problem with 1-2 players on about 10 teams kneeling. Then Trump opened his fat mouth, and 1-2 on 10 teams turned into 20-30 on EVERY team. Even coaches and owners knelt with their players. I do not support kneeling for the National Anthem, but it’s not a big enough deal where it needs to be covered every week. NFL channels, please stop broadcasting the National Anthem and what the players do during it, and Trump, please shut the fuck up and get off of Twitter.
The Packers look incredibly vulnerable.
Green Bay needed everything in it’s power to beat the terrible Cincinnati Bengals. Their defense is absolutely disgraceful and their offense is lacking the firepower at times to overcome their defensive mishaps. Their schedule doesn’t get much easier going forward, and the Vikings and Lions look much better than a year ago. They need to step it up.

Bring it on bitch!
Week 4 KO pool pick
Seattle. It’s the only game I feel 100% about them winning the rest of the year.
Game of Thrones theory of the week.
Varys has Targaryen blood. I believe this theory. I think he might be a Blackfyre and try to betray Daenerys at the end.
