What story lines and teams are you following this week?

Oakland Raiders? LA Raiders? Oakland Raiders? Las Vegas Raiders! Definitely pulling for the Pats.

Yea, I felt it was safest just to say "the Raiders". I wonder if the fans in Las Vegas will wear the same sort of masks/costumes that some fans wore in LA.

There will be a ton of LA and Bay Are fans at the Raider games. Easy flight from both and a reasonably easy drive from LA. The usual crazies will be there. The Raiders have huge fan bases across the country.

Dallas has an amazing receiver corp . CeeDee Lamb is going to be a superstar. Dak seems to have some detractors, but I think he's great.

Seattle lost Marquis Blair and Bruce Irvin to ACL's (as have many other teams) so 'next man up'...

Anyway, looking forward to great, hard fought game.

Amadi played in the slot pretty well filling in for Blair, and should do better with a week with the first team. Dallas does not have a slot receiver like Edelman. The Seattle secondary will have Diggs back at safety to, which will give Adams more leave to roam around causing trouble. The problem is the pass rush giving Prescott to much time.

Don't overlook David Moore for Seattle. He had one of those "6% chance of completion" TDs from Wilson on Sunday.

I am thinking a shootout.

I grew up an Oakland Raider fan, as my dad was from Oakland and I grew up in the Bay Area media footprint. Until they moved to LA; about the greatest insult that a team can make to a Northern California sports fan is moving to Southern California. I dislike New England, but I hope that the Pats wipe the floor with the Traitors.

Ravens/Chiefs should be a bang-up game.

The Steelers are 3-0 after the Watt Bowl in Heinz Field.

Good game. First half looked like neither team could score a TD, but the Patriots woke up on that second half. Burkhead made a name for himself today for sure.

Probably time to get over it. You got your wish today. As a northern Californian I didn’t like that they moved but I don’t care that it was to SoCal. SoCal doesn’t register with me enough to bother hating on them. When I lived in Seattle they all hated on California. No one in California cares about Seattle. Feel the same way about SoCal. Just a fan of the club. Glad they got a decent stadium, finally.

And it looks like the Falcons once again find defeat from the grasp of victory. Rams almost beat the Bills from way behind.

Falcons once again trying to snatch defeat from jaws of victory.

Rams looked average today...needed an early wake up call.

Yea, first team ever to lose two games in a season after being up by 15 in the fourth quarter. Amazing. They were up 16 points with 6 minutes left today.

How about them Browns - they have their first winning record in 6 years!

[AmericanEagle]

Pats won! Burkhead had a great day.

[Tahitijack]

Seattle wins and moves along

Jerry Jones still on hold with Dak....not sold yet.
