NFL Week 1: PUT IT ON THE BOARD!

[Melena]

Hell I thought mine were pretty ballsy. Hell mine were compared to UFL stats and if #1 comes true Gore won't be effective and our defense will spend too much time on the field. Not that I mind as I love watching Patrick Willis pancaking future HOF QB's.

[Demosthenes11]

no but really, the homers in this thread are pretty fuckin stupid

"hurr my shitty team that won 8 games last year and really had no improvement in the offseason GOIN TO DA SUPERBOWL"

Get at me son.

[Chun Liroy]

This means I'm not a homer right?

[tyven]

you are only a homer if your team went 8-8 and you predict supabowl

[tyven]

JETS FANS ARE SUCH FUCKING HOMERS

[Tymon]

Division Champion:
AFC East: Dolphins
AFC South: Colts
AFC West: Chargers
AFC North: Bengals

Wild Cards: Titans, Ravens

NFC East: Cowboys
NFC South: Saints
NFC West: 49ers
NFC North: Packers

Wild Cards: Falcons, Vikings

AFC Championship: Colts over Bengals
NFC Championship: Packers over Saints

Super Bowl: Packers over Colts

ROTY: Jahvid Best
MVP: Drew Brees

Bolds:
1. Dolphins will outperform both the Jets and the Patriots, and sweep the division.
2. Lions and Raiders will both unsuccessfully make near-playoff pushes
3. Cutler will have more TDs than INTs
4. Derek Anderson back to the Pro Bowl

Week 1:

Minnesota at New Orleans (-4.5) - One of several great games on paper this week, this will be the most disappointing. Low scoring game with injuries to both sides, Saints come through in the 4th.

Miami at Buffalo (+3) - Miami, I believe, is much better than people believe. Blowout.

Detroit at Chicago (-6) - This is Detroit's year. Both ways. They can either be much better than expected, or do worse or the same as last year, which will be a huge disappointment after all of the great additions.

Oakland at Tennessee (-6.5) - I'm always homer for the Titans, and I don't have as much to be concerned about this year. If VY plays well, I can't see them not making the playoffs.

Cincinnati at New England (-4.5) - Maybe the best game of the week. Bengals are for real, especially their defense. Not sure about the Patriots. Brady has his weapons, but does he have the line to get them open? Their defense is looking bush league, too.

Carolina at NY Giants (-7) - Carolina has the run game. That's about it these days. Sleeper team for sure, but needs to prove themselves.

Atlanta at Pittsburgh (+2.5) - Who's starting for Shittsburgh, again?

Cleveland at Tampa Bay (-3) - JAKE DELHOMME

Denver at Jacksonville (-2.5) - I drafted Jabar Gaffney in 3 of my 4 fantasy leagues. He'd better deliver.

Indianapolis at Houston (+2.5) - Upset alert. I think this is going to be the Colts only division loss of the year.

San Francisco at Seattle (+2.5) - Niners are for real, especially if Alex Smith wakes up. I see them winning 10 plus. Maybe 11 or 12.

Green Bay at Philadelphia (+2.5) - Corn on the Kolb is going to implode against the best secondary in the NFL

Arizona at St. Louis (+4) - DEREK ANDERSON

Dallas at Washington (-3.5) - Cowboys, super bowl, Jerry Jones, etc. Their offense looks abysmal and their defense gave up way more points than expected in the preseason. Washington is worse, though.

Baltimore at NY Jets (-2.5) - This will be really low scoring on paper, but I expect the Ravens to slaughter the Jets and get them off Revis Island.

San Diego at Kansas City (+5) - Malcom Floyd may have a breakout year.

[Penthesilea]

Green Bay at Philadelphia (+2.5) - Corn on the Kolb is going to implode against the best secondary in the NFL

Are you serious? They're pretty tore up in their 2ndary.

[Headspace]

Someone's banking on DJax and Maclin actually staying healthy for 2 weeks.

[Conrad]

Jason Avant, best hands in the NFL.

[Headspace]

Kolb, worst arm in preseason.

[Penthesilea]

They play week 1, that's long enough to torch a 2ndary missing it's two stand out DBs.

[Tymon]

Are you serious? They're pretty tore up in their 2ndary.

By comparison, yes.

The Jets may prove me wrong, as may the Vikings.

But for now, yes. I am serious.

[Demosthenes11]

people predicting the giants or steelers or eagles or falcons to make it to conf championship make me laugh

[Penthesilea]

By comparison, yes.

The Jets may prove me wrong, as may the Vikings.

But for now, yes. I am serious.

Sorry, but a team that gives up 51 points in a playoff game and doesn't make any adjustments, all the while having two of their standouts out until Week 6 should not put them into "Best Secondary" category. EVER.

[tyven]

MACLIN GONNA HAVE A DAY

[Chun Liroy]

Sorry, but a team that gives up 51 points in a playoff game and doesn't make any adjustments, all the while having two of their standouts out until Week 6 should not put them into "Best Secondary" category. EVER.

51 points is irrelevant... They played kurt warner in the post season.

AFC Title game: Ravens over Colts

5 Surprising predictions
1. The Skins make the playoffs. (JC was probably the worst 4Q QB ever)
2. Adrian Peterson rushes for over 2k yards.
3. Pacman Jones kills Jonathan Joseph to get his starting spot.
4. Big Ben doesn't "allegedly" rape anyone during the season. Pittsburgh finishes .500 or worse.
5. NFC East will have two sub .500 teams. (NYG, PHI)

Bolds:
1. Brett Favre retires for real after season-ending injury AND throws an interception on his last pass attempt.
2. San Fransisco clinches NFC West at 8-6, finishes with 10 wins. St Louis finishes with 5 wins.
3. Jake Delhomme leads Cleveland to 8-8, throws for <12 interceptions.
4. Detroit ends the season at .500 or better.

Week 1:

Minnesota at New Orleans
Miami at Buffalo
Detroit at Chicago - Close game, especially if Cutler hasn't fixed his color-blindness issues and keeps throwing picks.
Oakland at Tennessee
Cincinnati at New England - UPSET OF THE WEEK
Carolina at NY Giants
Atlanta at Pittsburgh - Leftwich injured (MCL, according to ESPN), so Dixon will get the start. Tough luck, kid.
Cleveland at Tampa Bay
Denver at Jacksonville
Indianapolis at Houston - This one is a hard pick for me, part of me would not be at all surprised if Houston comes out on top.
San Francisco at Seattle
Green Bay at Philadelphia
Arizona at St. Louis - Enter Sam Bradford, in one of his only not-injured games this season.
Dallas at Washington - Washington has improved a lot during the off-season, but Dallas is still too much for them to handle.
Baltimore at NY Jets - Sanchez has a not-retarded game and shreds the depleted Baltimore secondary.
San Diego at Kansas City
