[Mad Scientist]

The MFL isn't interesting for me until Thanksgiving. What is that week 13?
The first four weeks seem to be just filled with injuries.

 

[antiquity]

The first games of the season are almost as hard to predict as week 17. But here goes..

Carolina over Denver Battle of defenses....edge to Carolina because they have a quarterback...
Atlanta over Tampa Bay.....Falcons at home in battle of have nots.
Vikings over Tennessee....Close...we will see if Bradford can make it the whole without injury
Philadelphia over Cleveland...neither team are going any where but we are talking about the Browns here.
NY Jets over Cincinnati....this game is kind of my upset of the week
Oakland over New Orleans....the Raiders are much improved and the Saints defense still sucks.
Kansas City over San Diego....KC could/should win the AFC west
Baltimore over Buffalo....Ravens at home and for no other reason
Houston over Chicago....Houston defense against a pitiful Bears offense
Green Bay over Jacksonville....Jags may be improved but the Packers has something to prove
Seattle over Miami...no contest.
NY Giants over Dallas....Dallas will have to prove they can win without Romo...they haven't in the past and they won't in the future.
Indianapolis over Detroit... Detroit has nothing, and even less with Johnson gone.
Arizona over New England....should be a good game...but being played in Glendale give the Cards the edge.
Pittsburgh over Washington...Some say that the Steelers are good enough to make the big show...now prove it.
Santa Clara over Los Angles....Wow...who cares.

Carolina - Too many questions at QB for Denver
Tampa Bay - I think the Bucs will be decent and I don't trust the Falcons
Tennessee - I think the Titans will be improved and the Vikings need time to settle in with new QB
Philadelphia - Anyone against Cleveland
Cincinnati - Tough game, but the Bengals are too good
Oakland - The Saints have no defense
Kansas City - San Diego might be better than expected, but KC is a strong team.
Buffalo - For some reason I think Baltimore will have a bad year
Houston - The Texans have a lot of potential on both sides of the ball, Chicago looks bad
Green Bay - This could be a high scoring game and I wouldn't be shocked if Jax pulls it out
Seattle - The Seahawks have been one of the best teams for a few years now
Dallas - Even without Romo the Cowboys are too much for a weak Giants team
Indianapolis - This could go either way, I'm going with Indy because Detroit lost Megatron
Arizona - No Brady for NE against one of the better teams
Pittsburgh - Too much offense in Pitt
San Francisco - Homer pick against probably not a great LA team

 

[B. Kidd]

I'm rushed and busy, so can only take Denver tonite (Thurs.), as I'm playing the percentages on only one angle; being that the SB loser ends up losing their 1st next season game.

I don't know enough to even guess. Just want to say how happy I am to be watching a real football game.

I can't believe the last Superbowl was Payton Manning. The Superbowl before that was Brady beating Seattle? I wonder how good Seattle will be this year. So close to being back to back but they may never get another ring. God Tom Brady has been blessed. How good will Dallas be? Hopefully not very.

Im picking Carolina to win it all

 

[mudwhistle]

The first 6 games of the season are too unpredictable to predict because everyone is at full strength. The best teams have the most depth, and once the injury bug hits, it changes your season if you're depth sucks. After game 6 the cream rises to the top.

 

[mudwhistle]

Denver just won.....phfffffffft......

 

[Montrovant]

The Panthers should have had that game. Not a strong showing by them in the second half.

Seems to me after the play were Newton was sacks and struggled to get up it changed the game in Denver's direction. Newton just seemed rattled and never recovered. Maybe Carolina should have remove Newton for a couple of drives to clear his head. Bad decision by the Panthers.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Mixed emotions on Denvers surprising win.
Hate the Broncos and Newton.

 

[B. Kidd]

In a close game, always go with an angle if you know one, especially if the angle fits a home dawg the public is big-time betting against.
Vegas, baby!

 

[basquebromance]

ravens...bears...packers...raiders....chargers....dolphins...lions...giants...cardinals....redskins...rams

(i skipped the games where i have no clue about the actual teams)

You're smart. The best bet is a three team parlay.

 

[Treeshepherd]

A win is a win for Denver, especially with a n00b quarterback.

Niners can take the Rams. Maybe run a gimmick play with Kaepernick. Uptempo Chip Kelly offense in front of the home crowd. Navarro Bowman runs down Hurley. Screw LA

A good chance Kaepernick won't play....

 

[Treeshepherd]

Once upon a time, 49ers vs LA Rams was a pretty big rivalry. This is kind of a big deal.

 

[B. Kidd]

Public is on the Rams. I gotta take the Niners as there has been too much hype on the Rams between their relocation and being featured on 'Hard Knocks'.
