Lots of progress in seven games.
Sims caught me. Straight up, we’re both 120-73, with five weeks to go.
In the face of proliferation, it’s time to throw in the damn towel.
There are 15 matches this week. We disagree on two of them. All selections are shown below.
Patriots at Steelers (-6)
To borrow a phrase Al Michaels used last year, sometimes the game is so bad, it’s good.
Florio: Steelers, 13-3.
Simms: Steelers 17-9.
Pirates at Falcons (-1)
The Falcons are one step closer to winning the division.
Florio: Falcons, 20-17.
Sims: Falcons, 20-17.

Florio: Bengals, 24-21.
Sims: Colts, 20-24.

Cleveland needs to turn things around after a disastrous road trip.
Florio: Browns, 20-16.

The door closes forever for the 2023 Jets.
