Not a prediction thing, but I have a question for people who know more than I do:
Why is it that Saquon Barkley runs better when Eli Manning is at QB? In 4 games that Manning started, Barkley ran for 100 yards 3 times. In 7 games started by Daniel Jones, Barkley broke 75 yards once and had games with the following total yards: 1, 10, 28.

Dale I love you dearly, but your Baltimore projection looks downright awful at this juncture, not only has Baltimore surpassed wins by 5 and might even double projection, but Lamar Jackson is poised for league MVP but that unpredictability is what makes sports great.

Could be a comfort thing. Barkley might be more confident in Manning’s handoffs that he can just focus on reading the defense instead of worrying about fumbling the exchange or something. Could also be that defenses are respecting Manning’s throwing ability more than Jones so it’s opening up lanes for Barkley. Could also be complete coincidence |

Defenses have no respect for Jones yet (you know, rookie who hasn't proved himself and all) so they just load that box baby. Before McVay got to the rams, they did something similar with Goff (when Gurley was still good). Although defenses have little respect for Eli nowadays, It's still more than Jonesy. |

Because Eli can check off a pass play to a run by reading the defense. It's an experience thing at the LOS. Also more experience at directing the blocks of the OLine. Donnie Dimes probably didn't have the leeway to audible off a play as much as Eli either. He was more than likely on a tight leash to run the play called and not deviate. |

I thought Lamar was going down the 2nd year running QB route...didn't know he was actually this talented. Baltimore is a surprise to everyone. |

And just like that, Saquon has 190 yds rushing with Danny Dimes at QB. |

I wonder what incentives he has, if any, in his rookie contract. |

Beastmode rejoins the Seahawks. Not sure if being gut punched by an MMA dude to get into football shape is the same as being whole-body tackled by the 49ers defense.
We'll find out.

No win predictions this year coruler2  Must be why we're only a few days away from the opener and I'm not that pumped for once. |
