Didn’t see a thread yet. Kickoff! Winnable road game for my 49ers, we shall see. ---

Everyone thinks the Eagles will win going away. i think they overlook how badly the Giants want and need this game. aaand a tipped INT leads to an early Giants TD. ---

Looks like the Patriots have Fitzpatrick’s number, 2 int’s so far. It’s a bit different playing the Pats than the Chiefs and Raiders. ---

There won’t be a miracle today. Not sure why the entire team isn’t ready to play. If the Giants score another before the Eagles get on the board it’ll be over. ---

My apologies to Eagles fans. I benched Eli and Jacobs and that is why they are going off. ---

At least Detroit can take solace in that they’re only down 13 so far. Vikings give 20 in second half ---
