Lets keep this fun, its the first week and the preseason games aren't a great way to measure how a team will do in the regular season. I am personally not going to go into too much detail about games until we start seeing them in action. You can feel free to give details about what you know/read. That said, its about time NFL is here again!

Thursday:
Washington At NY Giants Giants! I don't see the skins being able to take on the Giants, at least not this early in the season.

Sunday:
Cincinnati At Baltimore Baltimore!
NY Jets At Miami Jets! The Jets will do pretty decent this year, not just because Favre either.
Kansas City At New England Pats! Duh.
Houston At Pittsburgh Steelers! They look like a tough team this year.
Jacksonville At Tennessee Jax!
Detroit At Atlanta Lions!
Seattle At Buffalo Seattle! Not just because I am a fan, but the Seachickens are looking pretty good this year. They can pull this off even without their two suspended players.
Tampa Bay At New Orleans Saints! Much improved Saints are a force this season.
St. Louis At Philadelphia Philly!
Dallas At Cleveland Cowboys! However, it will be interesting to watch Cleveland this game vs a stacked defense.
Carolina At San Diego Chargers!
Arizona At San Francisco AZ!
Chicago At Indianapolis Indy!

Monday:
Minnesota At Green Bay Vikings! I say this will be the upset of the week.
Denver At Oakland Denver! However, will be fun to watch McFadden, I see him having a big year.

I'll bet anyone here that the Raiders will overtake the Broncos--with say a 1/2-day posting ban or something.

Bears over Indy - Manning is not 100% and gets sacked 3 times and leaves on a cart. Chicago starts off the season 2-0 with no Peyton or Smith. Boo ya

In my weekly football ranking thing I'm in I made the exact same picks except for Cincinnati at Baltimore. I wasn't sure which to pick so I went with the Bengals. I think I only rated the game at 2 or 3 points (out of 16).

Maybe, but not if Manning, Saturday, Harrison, Sanders, and other defense guy are hurt.

Minnesota At Green Bay Vikings! I say this will be the upset of the week

I don't consider this an upset, even though they are at Lambeau, but I agree with the pick! :thumbsup:

I am higher on the niners than most people. Their Defense is above average. I say niners make it to playoff!

I tell you what, I was VERY impressed by their running backs when I saw them at Qwest field last weekend.

I only say upset because of the lines right now. I see the Vikings having a VERY good year.

Agreed. It's only a -2.5 underdog

Yep, home field advantage I guess. Man I can hardly wait for this game!

Indy could go without a quarterback and still beat the Bears

we'll see. I think the bears will surprise some people this year. A healthy d-line for the first time in 3 years, mike brown for a couple games till he gets paralyzed, a "can't be any worse" offense.
