I really wasn't intending to be bold, but they're mostly playing much worse teams.
I don't think the Eagles are much worse than the Saints or Chargers are much worse than the Steelers or Dolphins are much worse than the Seahawks. Ok maybe Dolphins are much worse without Tua but Seahawks have barely scraped by against the Pats and Broncos.
I think your picks make sense but I expect one of these teams will lose.

I forgot the Bills. Stupid 2 MNF games.

I'll take them, too.
Seven teams stay undefeated.

The Vikings coaching staff are playing 4D chess right now. They took Shanahan to school last week and they are laying a whooping on DeMeco so far this week.

The Steelers and Chargers are basically the same team, but I had to pick one. Herbert's injured, so I took the Steelers.
Maybe the Eagles are better than I give them credit for, but, as I've said many times,
I actually bet on the Dolphins beating the Seahawks, but sans Tua they might stink. I'm not a believer in Seattle, though.
reply
I hope the Eagles lose and I hope the Dolphins win.

I'm guessing the Dolphins will either trade for Stafford or lure Brady out of retirement. That offense is too good for them to just muddle along with Skylar Thompson.
reply
Woah, that's bold. Maybe Stafford. I don't think Brady is coming out of retirement mid season.
Dolphins with Stafford would be scary. How quick he is at getting the ball out and those guys running wild after the catch. Yikes.
reply
Remember, Brady was trying to go to Miami, at one point. He plays the same way Tua does, but is probably still much better at it.
reply
Isn't he trying to buy part of the Raiders? I don't think he will play for the Dolphins if he wants to own a team.
reply
Maybe. I won't be surprised if he jumps at an opportunity to win another ring.
