Can't wait. I'll be in a sports bar so I can watch all of them at the same time, particularly Detroit/San Diego and AZ/NO. I'm also interested seeing Rex Ryan's D go at Luck and hopefully JJ Watt terrorizes KC. I'd love to see Baltimore beat Denver as well, but Peyton always starts out hot.

It's nice having NFL Sunday Ticket. On Sunday I'll be watching the Detroit game as well as the Buffalo/Colts game. Then on Monday I will have to mentally prepare to watch the Forty Retire's.

Yeh I'm really intrigued by the Eagles/Falcons matchup as well....it'll be a good ole fashioned shootout. I'm hopping on Philly's bandwagon this season, they're going to be really fun to watch with Bradford running the offense.

Don't see the Skins having much shot of beating the Fins. Just a terrible matchup. Suh and Wake vs. our inexperienced right side? Cousins against a good secondary? Yeah, could be ugly. 24-10 Miami.

Some real good matchups though. Giants-Boys will be fun. I actually think the Giants could be a sleeper, that offense will score a ton, but I don't think they're good enough to beat the Cowboys just yet. 37-31 Dallas.

Will probably be watching BMore-Denver after the Skins game(I always get Bmore games). I like the Ravens a lot this year but Manning at home in the regular season is damn near unbeatable, especially on opening day.

Unfortunately living in Texas I get all Cowboys games. Texans too, but I love watching JJ Watt. If the Texans just had a reasonably good qb, and their RB could stay healthy, they'd be tough. I actually don't mind the Cowboys as much as I used to either. When I lived in Phoenix and there were more Cowboys fans than Cardinals fans it was frustrating as there were SO many bandwagon Cowboys fans.

Texans could be a Wild Card team. They were what 9-7 last year? They're not good enough to overtake Indy but they can compete with the Buffalos and Miamis of the world.

Yes, I almost picked them in my predictions. I think it came down to which divisions the east and south have to play, and I felt the east had it easier.

Funny I was just wondering if I should start him, but I don't think I want to bench anyone to play him.

I contemplated hard too, but Big Ben has been drooling all over him this offseason. If it turns into a shootout, he'll get his for sure.

It was expert clock management down the stretch there. Andy Reid would be proud.
