Early Game of the Week 4 Thread: There are 8 games on the early schedule

The San Francisco 49ers are on the afternoon schedule today, giving us time to enjoy the morning games. There are eight to choose from.

The New Orleans Saints are devastated. They are missing two starters on the offensive line today as well as Demario Davis, an All-Pro level linebacker. Wide receiver Chris Olave is also less than 100 percent.

If you can put pressure on Derek Carr, he. crumbles. This was supposed to happen today. I like the Falcons in a low scoring game.

Mike Tomlin has the Pittsburgh Steelers undefeated with Justin Fields under center. Is there anything Tomlin can't do? On the other hand, Shane Steichen is trying to figure out how to approach his offense against Anthony Richardson, who has been underperforming. I'm worried about the Colts being able to block the Steelers, which is why I think Pittsburgh can do it on the road.

Trevor Lawrence is more like Mr. Irrevelant than Brock Purdy. The Jacksonville Jaguars just lost to the Buffalo Bills by a billion in what was their worst schedule of the year. This shouldn't underline how sloppy the Houston Texans looked and how shockingly inaccurate CJ Stroud seemed. The Jaguars should keep an eye on the situation and possibly pull off an upset.

Jordan Love returns for the Green Bay Packers, but who knows how effective he will be in his first game back. It's Sam Darnold, away in a divisional game. The Packers should win.

Sean McVay has pulled off a surprise and is now taking the Chicago Bears on the road. The Los Angeles Rams are incredibly well-coached, but also wildly crazy. I was wrong about the Bears, and I haven't seen anything to make me think they're going to turn things around.

The final two games are between the Denver Broncos/New York Jets and the Philadelphia Eagles/Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No interest in looking at either.
