Not a lot of "Must See" screaming out is there?

HOU/CIN is interesting from the "These teams can't possibly be THAT bad can they" perspective...
TEN/JAX is kind of an early statement game...
MIN/PIT - what's the latest on Bradford's knee?
DAL/DEN and GB/ATL are the clear marquis matchups.

Fully expecting the Rams to revert back to the Fisher days and lose to the Redskins Sunday. Can't shake that mindset just yet.

teams going east coast to west coast usually don't fair out too well. Plus the Redskins are horrible in all facets of the game. More than winnable for you guys.

I feel like the Packers are due for a win against us after last season. We stole a close one and then beat the brakes off of 'em. It would be a huge win to open the new stadium with.

The Raiders *should* beat the Jets...I swapped my Sunday shift so I could watch.

What BJJ said... Average (at best) East Coast team going out West rarely if ever works out well.

My friends said I was crazy when I said the Bears would beat the Falcons....I was a dropped TD away from being right. I'm picking GB to win this one, although week 1 to week 2 IMO is the hardest to predict.

It's one of only 17 weeks of the regular season in the NFL - it's all must see IMO.

Except for ARI/IND. Not that one.

Lol and Cleveland/Baltimore I guess..

I like to watch my fantasy players score TDs, so I'll probably tune into the Colts/Cards game because I'm starting Larry Fitz this week.

Titans and Jaguars !!! Huge statement game early for that division. Can't wait to see this one.

That game shouldn't be allowed to be broadcast. :sleep:

We played poorly in week one last season too. I'm happy we won this time. The Chicago defense is no joke, though, and we missed like 10 tackles on that rookie Cohen. We should be better this week. But you can never be too confident against Rodgers.

I think its safe to say, there appears to be a league-wide offensive line epidemic.

There is damn sure a lack-of-offense epidemic in this game so far.

Keep feeding Foreman, thank you Ass Chin.
