NFL Week 8: Pats Dolphins; Packers Broncos; TV ratings; Enough of Johnny Manziel

Eric Snyder is the author of a book on the Raiders and Raider Nation.  You can hear him on the Power Hour on 1340 Fox Sports Radio in Las Vegas.

So let’s dive into last night’s game.  Pats Dolphins

Best game this week is Packers going to Denver.  Sunday Night.  If this was in Green Bay I would say a romp for Pack.  Because it is in Denver with that Defense, I say a toss-up.

This could be a great media game too.  Because this game will most likely be up against the 5th game of the World Series.  What are your thoughts?

Interesting that MLB ratings rose for Game 1 – not facing off with football but with the NBA. 

Monday night Indy goes to Carolina.  I am inclined to say a Panther romp but Indy surprises me and Carolina due for a let-down.

Bengals go to Pittsburgh.  Big Ben supposed to be back.  Bengals getting some defensive strength back too.  Much effect?

Cards visit the Dog Pound.  Are we over-hyping Cards?  I thought they should have crushed the Ravens and they nearly lost the game.  They stunk going to Pittsburgh.  Maybe the Browns have a shot.

Johnny Manziel will not be punished for the roadside disturbance with his girlfriend.  My wife has a friend from Cleveland in town and she thinks the region is fed up with him.  They hope he ends his stay with the Brownies. 

Seattle goes to Dallas.  Cowboys look a mess. They don’t communicate. Greg Hardy and Dez Bryant nearly come to blows.  Joseph Randle may be facing disciplinary action relating to a gun incident. But Seattle needs this win. It would get them to .500.  But so far they are 1-3 on the road.  Might be a perfect time to visit Big-D.
