Games of the Week

 


We’ve hit Week 7 of the NFL Season and we have six teams on a bye this week. That leaves us with just 11 games during the Sunday slate. Below are the five games on the Sunday slate that have most caught my eye.

Early Games:

Cleveland Browns (3-2) at Indianapolis Colts (3-3)
About: This is an interesting game that has big stakes in the AFC. The Browns got a huge win over the 49ers in Week 6 and sit at 3-2. It’s possible Deshaun Watson will miss the game, but the Browns won with P.J. Walker last week. The Browns also have a tough defense that should help them get wins. The Colts, meanwhile, struggled in Week 6. They won’t have Anthony Richardson likely for the rest of the season, putting more pressure on Gardner Minshew and the run game. This should be a good one.

Atlanta Falcons (3-3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2)
About: Both are coming off tough Week 6 losses and both are competing for the NFC South title. Can Desmond Ridder get back on track after a brutal performance last week? Can Baker Mayfield get the Buccaneers back on track after being smothered by the Lions? Both teams have a lot on the line, and this should be a good battle.

Detroit Lions (5-1) at Baltimore Ravens (4-2)
About: Another battle of division leaders, with the Lions leading the NFC North and the Ravens leading the AFC North. The Lions have been great, including beating the Buccaneers last week on the road. The Ravens got a hard-fought win on the road in Week 6, too, but have suffered a couple curious losses to the Colts and Steelers. Both teams want to win to make moves in the division. This should be a heck of a game.

Late Games:

Los Angeles Chargers (2-3) at Kansas City Chiefs (5-1)
About: The Chiefs lost on opening night and have been perfect since. The Chargers, meanwhile, suffered a brutal loss to the Cowboys last Monday. The Chargers need a win to get back to .500 and close the gap on the Chiefs. If Kansas City gets the win, meanwhile, they could begin to open a near unsurmountable lead in the AFC West.

Sunday Night Game:

Miami Dolphins (5-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (5-1)
About: Two of the best teams with the most explosive offenses in the league clash on Sunday night. This figures to be a terrific battle between the Dolphins, leading the AFC East, and the Eagles, leading the NFC East. Each team has just won loss on the season, and each has a strong running and passing game. This could be one of the best games of the week.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve
