Half of my fantasy leagues have Burrow and the other I have Mahomes. I'll be watching all their games this year. :beer: :party:

Zero faith that Dallas wins tonight. If they can just manage to keep it close, show they have some fight, and not get demolished I'll be happy with that.

And hopefully we can see some sparks or facets of the team that look good, maybe Jaydon Blue, Pickens, and maybe we can see of they are still able to put pressure on Hurts without Micah.



Defense was the arguably the worst in the league last season. Need to see them hold the Eagles under 30 points. If they give up 50 and Dak is throwing deep in coverage the whole game that is bad sign for the whole season.

Week 1 predictions

Philadelphia 28- Dallas 14. Dallas has zero run game and it would take everything to go wrong for Philly and everything to go right for Dallas to have them winning this. I think Carter bullies Dallas oline and Campbell has a solid rookie debut

KC 24 - Chargers 17. Mahomes will come out and will KC to win, I think Kelce has a big game like 10/100 yards but a big go ahead TD. I sure hope KC loses though and would be icing on the cake if its a blowout

Miami 17 - Indy 10. I personally don't see Danny Pennies having a resurgence but then again NYG are a dumpster fire except for the obvious standouts. I just don't see Indy having enough. Hill and Tua should be back on tyre same page

Steelers 21 - Jets 7. Jets are not great and Fields is pretty meh. You have Wilson but not much else. I hate Pittsburgh as a Ravens fan but Pittsburgh is the clearly better team. Plus we seen them feast on awful teams last year

Panthers 21 - Jags 14. NGL skipping this both teams are basement dwellers. I will watch the Hunter high lights but that's it.

Cardinals 28 - Saints 10. Week one of the March for Arch sweepstakes for The Saints. Marvin Harrison Jr is going to put in work

Giants 7 - Washington 35. Giants have Malik Nabers but Russ, Dart or insert JAG here won't be enough. Washington might have had a top 3 offseason. Should be a slaughter

Bucs 35 - Atlanta 17. Bucs have a legit offense and when Baker is cooking (yeah bad pun) he's as good as almost any QB plus Mike Evans is a legit top 15-20 WR all time. Atlanta is good but I think Tampa is poised to make some noise and win probably win the worst division in football

Browns 7 - Bengals 31. Cleveland has a QB problem and a we need more guys to help Garrett as well. Cincy with that offense should easily win this

Raiders 17 - Patriots 14 Vegas should be a lot better Jenty, Smith, Carroll and Bradys mentorship should help them fix most of the problems their old regime had. New England improved their depth but I don't trust Maye.

49ers 21 - Seattle 24 - This has all the markings to be a classic shootout. Both teams have good wide outs but I really think Seattle has a top 3 secondary which will seal the game with a late INT.

Titans 12 - Denver 28, Broncos defense is going to make Ward look like a deer in the headlights at times. Their defense is elite and I really don't see any wide out on Tennessee burning their secondary.

Lions 35 - Packers 28 - this game I think is top 2-3 in terms of must watch. Detroit's dual headed monster RB is going to be the difference here. I get Parsons is in Green Bay but a short week of learning their scheme isn't enough. This will depend on which Geoff shows up if we get him from last year's Detroit again has a scary offense. If we get the throw caution to the wind and pick happy Geoff this game is over for them. Plus you can't count out Dan Campbell and his play calling on 4th downs

Texans 17 - Rams 28. A healthy Texans team with Tank Dell makes this closer but Puka and Adams with Stafford is too much plus The Rams pass rush is solid. Rams should be up there in a loaded NFC West and there's a reason they almost made a superbowl.

Ravens 38 - Bills 35. Potential game of the week or year already. Jackson is probably pissed he didn't get his MVP, Henry looks like a ageless wonder in a position known for not having guys play a long time plus getting Alexander in trees secondary is going to help out. Buffalo is very good but really who is the Robin to Josh Allen (Batman) I get their TE duo and Shakur but Baltimore looks like they are finally going to return to superbowl glory again.

Vikings 21 - Bears 14. This depends on which JJ squared duo we get. I think Jefferson is going to make Mccarthy wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than he is and that is what makes Justin arguably the best WR since prime Julio Jones in the last while. Theilan is also a very good safety blanket and takes pressure off.

Weeks 1-3 is preseason for Eagles starters so I think Dallas wins this one.

The Eagles are 8.5-points favorites. Yet, the Cowboys are at their worst when expectations are high, and at their best when there is no hope. Dak has historically been good against the Eagles. I'm going for an upset.

Advantage Philly. This will be a lopsided game.

Game time! Eagles should be favored but no analyst picking an upset is kinda crazy lol. It's not like the Cowboys are scrubs
