NFL Week 1 - Tyche is laughed at, Miz still doesn't post, and Rhinox gets banned

[Rhinox]

AFC East: New York Jets
AFC North: Baltimore Ravens
AFC South: Houston Texans
AFC West: San Diego Chargers
WC: New England, Indianapolis

The Colts are going to get off to a slow start; just enough to keep them from winning the divison, but not a Wild Card berth.


NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles
NFC North: Detroit Lions
NFC South: Atlanta Falcons
NFC West: St. Louis Rams
WC: Green Bay, New Orleans

I think you may see the greatest "zeroes to heroes" story in NFL history this year with Detroit, if all goes well (and healthy)

I also think Green Bay will take a step back. I believe their playoff performance was a combination of unexpectedly good performance from relatively unknown players and to a lesser extent, matchups.
If you look at their regular season, not so stellar. I don't think it'll be stellar this year, either.

AFCC: Chargers vs Colts
NFCC: Atlanta vs Philadelphia

SB: Eagles defeat Chargers

I want to pick against the favorite, really. I just can't do it. I won't be surprised at all if this isn't even close to accurate.

THU, SEP 8

New Orleans at Green Bay

New Orleans is going to be better than last year, and I think Green Bay is going to be largely the same, maybe a little better. Needless to say, I think New Orleans is going to steamroll the regular season, and they'll do it by winning a close one against the Packers.

SUN, SEP 11

Atlanta at Chicago

The Bears look really bad this year. The Falcons are a sleeper Super Bowl team.

Cincinnati at Cleveland

Colt McCoy looks amazing. The Bengals need to move to the CFL.

Buffalo at Kansas City

I feel sorry for the Chiefs, they're sorely underrated this year. I'd like to see them take the Chargers out again and show it to the haters once again.

Philadelphia at St. Louis

I want to pick St. Louis here, but I don't think they have enough weapons to get past the Eagles amazing secondary.

Detroit at Tampa Bay

Detroit might have the most electric offense in the league this year. Up there in the top, for sure. Tampa has some things to address, mostly why they had such a terrible offseason.

Tennessee at Jacksonville

I really like (what a surprise) the Titans changes this year, and how they look. In a year. Or two. As in, not this year. I still think they're better than Jacksonville though, and should win without much problem.

Pittsburgh at Baltimore

I see Pittsburgh choking late into the season, but not yet. They look better than they did last year, and they went to the Super Bowl.

Indianapolis at Houston

Colts are completely fucked without Manning, and probably fucked for a couple weeks with him.

NY Giants at Washington

Don't sleep on the Redskins. I think they can win a lot of games if they get their QB situation settled. The Giants, not so good looking.

Seattle at San Francisco

Tavaris Jackson is apparently the set-in-stone starter here, even having been grossly out performed by Charlie Whitehurst (who I remind you they paid good money to set up as the future starter) in the pre-season.

San Francisco should be able to limp through this one.

Minnesota at San Diego

I see Percy Harvin breaking out as a star WR this year as long as he doesn't let it get to his head (pun intended) and McNabb doesn't shit up the field.

Not enough, though. Bob Sanders breaks someone's neck and then goes out for the season with a ruptured Gluteus Maximus.

Carolina at Arizona

Both of these teams are going to be way better than last year. Unfortunately, that's still pretty bad. Arizona, I guess takes this one.

Dallas at NY Jets

Dallas, not getting any press hype? Ridiculous.

I guess it's because they did absolutely nothing in the off-season.

MON, SEP 12

Patriots at Miami

The Patriots are crazy over-rated. Esteban85Johnsoncinco looks like a deer in the headlights in their offense, and they didn't put much else around Brady, who isn't getting any younger.

I still think they'll win 11 or 12 games though, this being one of them.


Oakland at Denver

Knowshon Moreno, break out RB. Book it.

Otherwise, two bad teams. I think the Raiders defense managed to get worse, if that's possible.

[Celeras]

wow I didn't think they would actually do that. The market for meriweather must have been TERRIBLE. There will probably be a move for a S soon then

And the Jets just traded Lowery for a draft pick, thinking its to make room for some counter-gamesmanship.

[Gadritan]

Lots of CHI love out there!

[Rhinox]

Lots of CHI love out there!

no different then any other year.

could def be ya. i guess he fits the rex system of being a playmaker, but holy fuck is he a very unreliable S

and lol @ tymon saying the eagles are the favorites to win the SB

[Headspace]

Jets wont be shit without Scotty McKnight.

[Ishido]

Jets wont be shit without Scotty McKnight.

This man knows what he is talking about.

[Celeras]

Chrebet came off to practice squad too, give my nig time!

[archibaldcrane]

Sorry Miz, Packers only kept 5 WRs, Tori Gurley didn't make the cut. Everyone seemed to like him though, curious if he'll get picked up by someone.

[Chun Liroy]

I don't know if you expect him to actually read that or not.

[Tyche]

Mark Herzlich made the Giants 53 man roster.

[Tyche]

I guess it's easy when they only have 50 players that aren't hospitalized.

[Headspace]

More like he's already had his turn, so he's good for a while.

[archibaldcrane]

USF smoking shitty fucking joke-of-a-team-but-still-ranked-because-lol Notre Dame is glorious.
