    I know it is only one week, but which game result surprised you the most?

    Bills beating the Colts.

    Peyton Manning not throwing a TD.

    Rams beating Seahawks.

    Manziel being able to scramble and extend plays and improvise on the fly like in college--he needs to be better holding on to the ball.

    Ameer Abdulah picking up where he left off in college.

    One thing that was not surprising--Mariota being smart and super accurate with the football.

    Mariota was the most surprising to me. Goes to show Brains and worth ethic go along way in playing QB in the NFL

    Winning those 2 meaningless games down the stretch were worth it.

    4-12 feel so much better than 2-14 right about now.

    Surprised by the Jets winning in blowout fashion. The Jets don't blow teams out.

    Surprised that the Broncos offense looked really bad. Manning might be finished.

    No win-loss results were that surprising. The Rams have improved and have had the Seahawks' number when they play in the dome. The Bills are improved and the Colts picked up where they left off last year (bad defense, losing to good teams). I think the highest betting line of the week was GB -7 so there weren't any sure favorites yesterday.

    The ultimate result would go to the Bills beating the Colts but the Rams beating the Seahawks is pretty close too. Just talking about results not individual players, plays, etc.

    The dolphins struggling mightily against the skins surprised me. They are lucky to not be in the afc east cellar this week.

    I was surprised by our a lack of 3rd down efficiency on defense. Felt we gave up way too many third downs, especially to McCown.

    Cards killing the saints was enjoyable. Palmer has a real team around him and will make noise if he can stay healthy.

    Coughling developing dementia on the sideline. Its time for the dude to go, seriously.

    I've been talking about the Rams Seahawks game, but I don't think it's really all that surprising. The Rams have been up and coming, and Seattle is probably a bit fragile after losing the SB. The situation with Chancellor is a problem for them.

    So I guess the most surprising result was Bills over Colts.

    This. Rams defense is beastly so them winning wasn't shocking to me. In fact I picked them to win so...

    Bills beating the Colts? I think the Colts are overrated, but I didn't expect them to get whooped like that.

    Manning sucking. I didn't think he'd be great this year but that was pretty awful.

    This just shows you are bad at NFL. Terrible. God terrible.

    Yesterday I won $639 in my 4 game parlay. I put down onlyt $30. I picked Bills to win moneyline and I also said Rams will cover against Seahawks. Both of these games were so obvious. Shaking my head Stokes. A pro like you calling Bills and Rams win surprise? No good... No good at all. Geez.
