Off to a bad start with the Rams’ mugging of an already-mugged New England offense, but hoping for some statement games from the other true playoff teams this week to turn things around!

Five of the 14 lines already posted this week are 10 points or more, and another two are more than a touchdown. The outcome of these games may not be in doubt, but there’s potential for a lot of backdoor cover drama!

We’re just one 16-0 week away from being back above .500!

Seattle already paid Arizona back and moved atop the NFC West, and I’m counting on the Ravens and Chiefs to exact some revenge as well.

But it’s definitely close. We have to make up 12 games in the final 8 weeks of the season, so let’s get to it!
