Most likely to lose this week?

[THUMPER]

Of the 4 undefeated teams left, who is the most likely to lose this weekend?

Cleveland at New England
Tampa Bay at Indianapolis
Chicago at Green Bay
Dallas at Buffalo (MNF)

We are the only team playing away this week but Buffalo is next to last in scoring as well as on offense and dead last on defense.

Not that any of the 4 teams are likely to lose but if one of them was who would it be?

My guess would be the Colts. They have not played particularly well holding off both the Titans and Texans and coming from behind against the Broncos. They just seem to be a few plays away from losing. The Bucs have looked good of late beating their last 3 opponents handily after losing to the Seahawks in week-1.

I would have gone with the Packers as they also have been close in all but one of their games but the Bears stink and are in meltdown mode right now so I don't see them beating Green Bay at Lambeau.

Who do you think is the most likely to lose?

I think GB falls. Main reason because this is a rivalry game.

That's what I was thinking initially too but with as badly as the Bears are beat up (thanks to us ) I don't see them beating Green Bay at home.

If I had to bet money on these game I would Dallas, Indy, NE and GB to win.
But If I had to pick which could stumble I would say GB in large part because it is a rival game. Add to that the lack of a Packer running game the Bears may actually get the sacks and turnovers to help that poor offense they have.

I have a feeling the Bears will win. The Packers aren't for real IMO.

Looking at our schedule I only see a handful of tough games for us:

Week-6: Patriots at Cowboys - NE is the best team in the league right now but we get them at home.

Week-10: Cowboys at Giants - The Giants played us tough in Week-1 but our defense has improved greatly since then. Still, they are always tough for us in NY.

Week-13: Packers at Cowboys - We traditionally beat them in Dallas but they are playing well this year.

Week-14: Cowboys at Lions - Detroit is always a tough place for us to play and the Lions are playing pretty well.

Week-17: Cowboys at Commanders - This is always a tough rivalry game and if we have the division sewed up then we won't have as much to play for.

We could very well wind up 13-3 this year with the way most of the teams on our schedule are playing this season.

I think Packers has best chance to lose this week. I don't believe Bears are as bad as their record, their D and ST are still very good.

Well with our luck Cleveland has the best chance to win since we have their #1 pick.

Honestly. It looks like we could have four 5-0 teams after next week.

I think if the Bears get a couple defensive players back they could win at GB. I also think that TB can hang with Indy. They aer stopping the run, and with Garcia throwing underneath they could sneak up on Indy.

....

Who do you think is the most likely to lose?

I'd say Green Bay. Green Bay appears to be the weakest of the unbeatens (and so are more vulnerable) and they are playing a divisional game.

The Bucs lost two starters on offense to knee injuries this weekend. Otherwise I'd have gone with the Colts.

Of the 4 undefeated teams left, who is the most likely to lose this weekend?

Cleveland at New England
Tampa Bay at Indianapolis
Chicago at Green Bay
Dallas at Buffalo (MNF)

Who do you think is the most likely to lose?

Looking at those games, I can give reasons why any of the 4 could lose sunda/Monday (besides the "on any given Sunday" response) This is my take in the order of the liklihood of one of the unbeatens falling.

Tampa Bay at Indianapolis - TB is coming off of 3 straigh wins and maybe the most under-rated team right now. Garcia is a vet QB that knows how to win big games. Their defense has been constantly improving and is holding teams to less than 14 pts a game after the Seattle loss (granted those games came against the saints, Rams and Panthers). They will not be afraid to try to go toe-to-toe with the Colts.

Cleveland at New England - Cleveland is playing tough right now there confidence is high they put up 27pts on a strong Defense and 51 on the bengals (17 more than the Pat's did). I think Cleveland is relishing being the underdog providing the big upsets.

Chicago at Green Bay - One of the biggest rivalries in the NFL anything can happen - enough said. But I will add that GB is one dimensional and despite giving up big points to the cowboys and the Lions, I still think this D can be good, especially if it can focus on just the passing game and tee off on Farve. The big question is can Brian Griese step up and have an above average game.

Dallas at Buffalo (MNF) - Buffalo is coming off a tough emotional win with a rookie QB. Injuries to our secondary may cause us some problems defensively. The Bills have already played 2 of the top 5 teams in the Pats and the Steelers (both losses) so they will know how to react when they get punched in the mouth and they may just punch back. Dallas' slow starts may actually cost us a game sometime soon. Overall I think this is the less likely one to occur

They've got one of the best defenses in the league and a more than adequate passing attack. When their running game comes around they will be set for a deep playoff run.

I gotta go for Tampa upsetting Indianapolis.

That was a very good analysis. Nicely done.

I think so too.
