Mini-Bye Week · PACKERSHOME

So Packers aren't playing this weekend, what games are you watching?

Also I just realized the schedule kinda screws the Packers (again) the next time they play the Bears... the first time is when the Packers had to play the Falcons on Sunday Night while the Bengals got a bye week. Next time is the Packers have to play the Lions on Monday Night and then face the Bears off their bye week... getting a team off their bye is tough, doing it on a shorter week makes it that much harder. It's 6 days rest vs 14 days rest.

Lions at Vikings... who you got? You rooting for one over the other?
Who do you think is gonna be harder for the Packers to beat?

Other subjects of interest?

Watching no game today. Trying to get the outside of my house painted. Only have a few good weekends left.

Mini bye weeks are good for QB changes.

Will watch what I can. Definitely interested in Detroit vs Vikes. Steelers and Ravens never seem to disappoint. Interested to see if the Browns can get their first win of the season against the Bengals. Oakland and Denver should be a great game. I am really liking the Chiefs so the Monday nighter will be on.

I should be studying, but it is hard to not watch the games when they are on.

But yeah I wanted to watch the Cowboys game (for next week) and the Lions/Vikings game for division rivals and because Packers going to play the Vikings after the Cowboys.

Bengals vs Browns... neither has one a game YET! ... so the Buckeyes really are Ohio's best professional team, huh? 😁

I like watching the Cowboys and the Vikings because I hate them so much I am automatically a fan of the other team.

I picked the Browns on the pick'em on gut feel, hopefully that wasn't indigestion.
