Which upset is the most likely today?
Panthers over Ravens.
Schefter was saying Suh wants to play in NY, doesn't matter which team he want to play in NY for his Brand..
What makes you say this, friend?
:jnc
I haven't been overly impressed with the Ravens and now they've lost Dennis Pitta. They're starting a rookie UDFA at left tackle in place of Eugene Monroe. Their running game is bad and Torrey Smith is invisible. Lardarius Webb will probably be going up against Kelvin Benjamin and he's giving up six inches and hasn't been playing that well so far anyway.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000400539/article/sky-sports-extends-deal-with-nfl-five-yearsSky Sports, which has broadcast live NFL games in the UK since 1995, has extended its deal with the NFL by five years, adding the rights to air Monday Night Football. With the addition of Monday Night Football (played in the early hours of Tuesday morning for a UK audience), the broadcaster will give British NFL fans the chance to watch as many as 80 live games a year.
Sky Sports' coverage will also include all games from the NFL's International Series as teams travel to the UK for regular season match ups, which has seen sell out contests at Wembley since 2007.
Alistair Kirkwood, the Managing Director of NFL UK, said: "Sky Sports has been a fantastic partner for 20 years and we are delighted to have agreed a deal that will extend that partnership to a quarter of a century. Sky's coverage of the NFL and their support for the sport in this country has been an important element of our growth and we look forward to seeing their coverage expand and develop over the next five years."
The Dolphins-Raiders matchup at Wembley is the first of three games to be played in the UK in 2014. In Week 8, the Falcons and Lions will clash in a game that will be broadcast at 9:30 am ET, debuting a new game time that will showcase this international matchup. In Week 10, the Jaguars will host the Cowboys. In 2013, the Jaguars began a commitment to four years of games that will be played in London.

Lots of smiles and hugs as Steve Smith catches up with former teammates during warmups. Just posed for photo w/ Luke, TD and Stewart.

Steve Smith comes onto the field to meet former #Panthers teammates. Gives Charles Godfrey a hug.

Steve Smith is now talking to #Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams, who is not wearing his "blood and guts'' goggles.
Worth noting that 89's beef has always been specifically with Dave Gettleman. He doesn't hold any grudges against players. The "blood and guts" charade is yet another Smitty dramatization.
Charlie Weis got fired from Kansas. Another BB disciple officially and unequivocally washes out. You can't even make Kansas football's expectations? This coaching shit is not for you bro.
Ol Charles is gonna have to make money dressing up as Santa and letting obnoxious kids sit on his lap.
Suh can go ahead and go. Might make it a little more worthwhile to resign Fairly. Yes, he's a great player, but not for that money.
Speculation looms about #Michigan & Jim Harbaugh but sources tell me #Michigan prefers #Ravens coach John Harbaugh over Jim at this point.
I still think we should trade Megatron, as much as that hurts to say, and that will free up a ton of cap space.
Megatrons body is not built for the long term and we should plan accordingly.
Not a popular plan, and one I would rather not make, but he'll be hitting 30 and his height and weight will eventually (and has) lead to knee and ankle problems.
Our defense is great because of Suh. I've been harping about it for years but he instantly transforms a mediocre/crappy defense into a great one. Very few defensive players in NFL history have been able to do that.
I'm hungover and the more I think about this leak about Suh wanting to play for a New York team, right before we play a New York team, the more pissed I get.
We're set at the most important position in the NFL, franchise QB, and I'll always take solace in that.
Five letters Lions fans: R-e-l-a-x.
I see you PD.
Thomas Davis isn't playing.
So go ahead and pick up Justin Forsett for your fantasy teams
No Jared Allen today.
I still think we should trade Megatron, as much as that hurts to say, and that will free up a ton of cap space.
I don't like having to say that, Rell.
I'm probably the only Lions fan who has brought up a Megatron trade. I don't even like bringing it up but I'm thinking long term and I don't see how his knees and ankles hold up with his body height and weight.
Suh is more valuable to our team long term, IMO. But it looks like he wants to leave.
Either way let's kick the Jests ass and go 3-1.
So pretty much exactly as much Jared Allen as the Bears have gotten the first three games.
lol, I hope Detroit trades Megatron. Then you'll really see how much of a fucking fraud Fatford is
I don't have much love for mercenary players. It's a team sport, after all, and chasing the most money is just selfish. Cripple the team's salary cap, or play for a contender? What sounds better?
I, for one, would pick playing for a contender every day of the week.
He was the Bears second highest rated Defense player last week according to PFF.
Megatron has been putting up record numbers since Stafford took the helm in 2011. Both are great and need each other.
We can get other wide reciever via free agency and the draft.
This whole discussion would be different if we have a Sammy Watkins or Kelvin Benjamin.
Great point. No reason for us not to make a playoff run outside injuries. If Suh wants to leave a contender, which I believe we are, for the Giants or Jets he'll look bad in the end.
His first positive game, correct?
My Falcons will be battling the mighty VIKEBIKE today!
I don't like having to say that, Rell.

Either way we have a long offseason to think about that. Today let's kick the Jests ass and go 3-1.
Not sure. But this schedule has been bad for him so far with mobile QB's.
He would have had a nice day.
