NFL 2024 Weekly Predictions Contest: Week 10

[Voyageur]

Sad year for Dallas

Being a Packer fan, and living down here in Cowboy country, I hear it all, week after week Fact is Jones is problem #1. As far as his HC, the guy doesn't think you need to boost the morale of your players, that they should get up for games every week on their own. How do we know that? We suffered from his coaching style for several years. Glad he's your problem.

The rivalry between the Packers and the Cowboys is one of the best in the NFL, where it's out of division.

The rivalry between the Packers and the Cowboys is one of the best in the NFL, where it's out of division.

It’s an old rivalry that’s historically between 2 Winning franchises. As you know, both the Packers and Cowboys used to have a rich history of great teams. Now not so much the Cowboys

Everyone had at least 4 Misses already and no one attained the 11 Wins needed to pass the 75% mark. Tough week. I think the Chicago loss was the biggest surprise

Being a vet, I want to give a shout out to all my brothers-in-arms, regardless of what nation you're in. We all served proudly, in defense of our nation. There can be no greater honor given our nation than the willingness to put down our lives to defend it. Thank you for your service, and may all your days ahead be a joy. You've done your turn. You are appreciated.

Thanks for your service. I never served, but my long departed father-in-law served in WWII throughout the whole war starting in Sicily from 1939 to finally moving into Germany in 1945.
We wear the poppy from late October to today as a remembrance, based upon the poem In Flanders Fields written in WWI about a Belgian battlefield.

This week our records were pretty similar, at either 8-6 or 9-5. We got tripped up on many of the same upset games on Sunday. OldSchool101 got a bingo score when Tennessee scored a late TD to match his 27-17 prediction versus the Chargers. This also vaulted him from sixth to second place in our standings.

Rams laid an egg Monday night. But it tells us we have to be prepared for the Fins on Thsnksgiving. Rams suffered 4 sacks, were terrible on 3rd down, and could not run the ball. Had to kick 5 of 6 FGs. Fins only had one penalty. For our team to succeed we have to have some success in the running game.

Yes. It’s bitter sweet.
1. We always want an NFC team that’s a potential wildcard candidate to fail, increasing our probability a hair. This put the Rams 2 games back of GB and we win the tie breaker if there was one.
2. The fact the Rams largely got knocked around and dropped under .500 does not help our cause after we barely beat them.
3. As you already notated @milani This should be a warning for the Packers that our meeting coming up with Miami is less a cakewalk and more a trap game.

The Bears as well although historically they seem to make the big blunder against us. We will be primed for SF and 4 days later the Fins come in on a nationally televised game on a Happy Thanksgiving. They would love nothing better than to show the country what they can do. Wasn't it a number of years ago the Bears played us on a TNF game in monsoon rains and embarrassed us?
