Jacksonville.. despite winning the lottery and getting one of the highest rated QB prospects since Andrew Luck still has the Urban Meyer factor to contend with.

Over Under for Jax wins is set by Vegas at 6.5 wins

I am going to say under only because of Meyer.

Cowboys vs Bucs to open the season, Thursday September 9. I'm predicting this will be the highest rated Thursday Night game in history. Cowboys offense will be back in full effect, excited to see what Dan Quinn can do with the defense and the new additions.

Packers vs Saints - who will be the QB for either team??

Steelers vs Bills - Were the Bills a one-season wonder?

Jets vs Panthers - Did the Jets make the right move in dealing Darnold?

Browns vs Chiefs - Must see TV at 4:25pm eastern

Ravens at Raiders - SNF, the end zone club in Vegas will be poppin'!

Cowboys vs Bucs to open the season, Thursday September 9. I'm predicting this will be the highest rated Thursday Night game in history. Cowboys offense will be back in full effect, excited to see what Dan Quinn can do with the defense and the new additions.

Bucs win 42 to 31. Jerrys teams can score but can't stop nuthin.


Packers vs Saints - who will be the QB for either team??
Aaron Charles Rogers starts for the Pack
and
The Gunslinger...The most unpredictable exciting QB to ever get the keys to a serious team... Jameis Winston gets the start for the Saints.
Can't wait for the first Jameis game where he passes for 429 yards and 6 TDS. 4 to the guys wearing the same colour shirts as him and two to the guys who aren't. The Saints win though 38 to 28 and Sean Payton orders a pallet load of Zantac.

Steelers vs Bills - Were the Bills a one-season wonder?
No chance.. The Bills go 12 and 4.
Pittsburgh is a high wire act .. They could go 11 and 5 or 5 and 11.

Jets vs Panthers - Did the Jets make the right move in dealing Darnold?
Set it in stone... Sam Darnold goes 24 for 31.... 322 yards and 4 TDs...
Adam Gace will never coach in the league again.

Browns vs Chiefs - Must see TV at 4:25pm eastern
The Browns are for real.. but the Magician in KC wins by 10.

Ravens at Raiders - SNF, the end zone club in Vegas will be poppin'!
The Raiders find a way and win the opener against a top 3 team in the AFC before losing the next 3 in a row.

I no longer believe a lot of the Aaron Rodgers stuff is true. Schefter admitted he didn't have a source and everything since then is a bunch of "experts" answering questions about what they know to be fact with "I think, I think, I think". There's no award winning journalism going on in the NFL. Credible journalism might be a pipe dream.

So, Rodgers v. Winston. That's my guess.

Quite the run for him this year. He knocked out three future hall of fame QB in the playoffs, all probably top ten greats when it's all said and done.

The Bucs outclassed the Chiefs on both sides of the ball though. Brady didn't need to do anything heroic or great to win that game and yet he still played really well.

241 days till next kickoff.

Till then.. we got the Raps and Leafs and Blue Jays to help pass the time.

Stay well boyo's.

Pretty fun game last night.. Tampa's defense was just too good.. and I should have saw that coming although it was hard to bet against KC's fire power. There was really only one penalty that was egregious and that was the pass interference play.. but from first glance I thought the defender tripped the guy.. it was only in the replay that showed that wasn't the case. KC should have challenged.. that's their fault that they didn't.

Either way.. KC only put up 9 points with 0 touch downs. Can't do that in the superbowl. Kind of a humiliating loss for those guys.. feels good actually. KC's ego was too much. Felt like GSW losing to Cleveland and Lebron there (but if it was a sweep).

I haven't watched football long enough to have a fair comment on the GOAT (within the 4 major NA sport leagues) debate.. but I still think Wayne Gretzky is #1 (even though he only has 4 rings compared to 7 or 6). Brady is probably over MJ now, but a QB unlike a basketball player only plays on one side of the field (Gretzky didn't play defense either).

What I get out of Brady though is he's a coach/GM/player all in one.. like Lebron is now. MJ never had that power. Gretzky had a bit of that but not really. His leadership is a reason why that team gelled like they did. He doesn't play defense, but he got his defense to play for him and give him a chance with the ball back. 7 chips is pretty remarkable, especially when you have 30+ teams and a one and done playoff format.


Also the half time show was pretty dope. I only know one of that guys songs, and it was way overplayed. But the overall presentation was cool. And what I really appreciated was that the guy wasn't twerking on a stripper pole.

Not even close today.
Thought the zebras were a little too much into the game in the 1st half, much to the detriment of the Chiefs, but in the end it didn't matter.
Tampa throttled KC tonight.

Prop bet winner is Planet Mars with 3 outta 4.

Some bad call but also lots of undisipline play by the chiefs d. Dont know what the he the honey badger was thinking you dont trash talk the GOAT dude diced him up and made him look like an idiot. Brady was good that defense was unreal.
hard to blame mahomes but dude has an array of weapons and wasnt able to break any big play. Reid also kinda shit the bed should have got the ball into hardman and hills hands even by handing the ball off. Those dudes are electric. Gotta get the ball In there hands however you can

If he wasn't already before, it's now an inarguable fact that Brady is the GOAT.

[bertarapsfan]

Bucks down by 4 and brady gets the ball back with 3 minutes left. Leads them down the field but a wrs drops a critical catch chiefs by 4

tough game to pick. i think i'd bet tampa. not because of brady or any bullshit like that but because i think bowles' blitzing defense could really get home on the chiefs missing both their tackles. they pressured rodgers repeatedly in both green bay games and i think they have the best line in the league.

if anyone is equipped to deal with blitzes and take advantage of 1 on 1's while under fire it's mahomes so we'll see.

i think it's a coin flip but can already see myself rolling my eyes at the brady fellating if he has another unspectacular performance that results in a win, so am picking bucs. go chiefs though

I don't believe there's a Golden Boy conspiracy with the officiating but I can understand if someone believed in a conspiracy after the NFC title game. It seemed inconsistent in favor of the Bucs. Not all through the game but on the key plays, the big plays that shift momentum or that keep a team under wraps.

I won't be shocked if your prediction plays out.

The tuck rule lives on in infamy.
