Yeah ur right. They did a lot of good work this offseason. Will be exciting to see them play. But all I can say for now is GO BRONCOS! Reggie Bush just fumbled...returned for TD. Gosh i wish I could see this live

What an impressive start for the Broncos tonight !! For me, since the Pats lost Brady, the Broncos became the n°1 contender in the AFC even if I like the Colts a lot.

great performance by the Raiders today, almost pulled it off. Defense sucked late in the 4th QTR when they started playing prevent.

Well, 10 out of 16 right, not too bad for my first week
Great victory by the Broncos again. There offense is just a power machine, but their defense is really weak. Will be a problem against the top teams they will play this year. Hope they will improve.

I was hugely surprised to see the Raiders in top of the Bills around half time, too bad they didnt make it.
Also surprised by Cinci's turnaround, but definately good. I always like seeing Chad and T.J. Too bad they lost in OT

went to the Chargers game last night and man, what a shootout. I almost left early but managed to stay for the whole thing. Farve looked like shit for the most part.

Farve looked like shit for the most part.

Favre gonna have a really long season this year. In football the team is clearly more important than individuals. The best QB is useless if he hadn't somebody to catch his passes.

Anyway I'm happy that Chargers got finally their first victory.

Well, tomorrow it's sunday again already, so I figured i'd put my predictions up for the weekend.
The matchups I am looking forward to most are: Broncos - Chiefs, Eagles - Bears and Vikings - Titans

Falcons - Panthers: Falcons played great last week, but I think Carolina will win.
Browns - Bengals: Will be a fun one to watch I think. Cinci did better last week after 2 horrible weeks but I think they won't be able to beat the Browns here.
Texans - Jaguars: Should be a win for the Jaguars, although the Texans might surprise.
Broncos - Chiefs: The Broncos should be able to beat the Chiefs here. Chiefs Dfense is horrible, but the so is the Broncos their defense. Broncos offense should be able to outscore the Chiefs though.
49ers - Saints:I'm going for the Saints here. Good offense...
Cardinals - Jets: Brett Favre's days are clearly over. He might be able to pull of a win here, but my pick is with the Cardinals.
Packers - Buccaneers: Rogers has really surprised me so far. Should be able to have a good game here, although the Bucs are a pretty tough defense.
Vikings - Titans:One of my favourite matchups of the week. My pick is with Minnesota.
Chargers - Raiders: I can not imagine the Raiders beating the Chargers. Easy win for the Chargers.
Bills - Rams: Rams are HORRIBLE this season. Should be a blowout for the Bills.
Redskins - Cowboys:Dallas is on fire. Definately expecting a win here.
Eagles - Bears:Hard pick, but with McNabb and Westbrook both questionable, I go with the Bears.
Ravens - Steelers: Roethlisberger hasnt been himself this season, not performing as well. My pick still is the Steelers, but it might as well be the Ravens who come out on top.


Can't wait for tomorrow.. GAMEDAY! Hope ya'll have a good weekend watching

well your prediction about Farve was off a little bit...

[hellawaits77]

Very cool topic!

I'm 6-5 with my picks thus far, I'm an Eagles and Steelers fan, so I;m going w/ them tonight and Monday night.

Well u can say that. Omg what a night. First of all, terrible game by the Broncos. Should have been a blow-out. Cutler had an offday, and the D is just terrible. Terrible! Ah well....
Big surprise to se Favre shine like that. I heard reports of rain in the NY area, so I didnt think it would happen, but I have to admit, this shows his days might not be over yet. I aint convinced he is the old Favre but yeah, this does show his value. Nice for the Jets!

[Bert Jan]

Well, another week went by already. Got to see the terrible game of the Broncos friday, and yesterday I watched the Cardinals - Jets game. What a blowout. A lot of fun to watch, although I felt bad for Kurt Warner.

This week not too many exciting matchups. Ofcourse looking forward to the Broncos game vs the Bucs, hoping that they have improved their D.
Only other match I will download will most likely be Steelers - Jaguars... That looks like a good one.

My picks for the week:
Titans - Ravens: Titans have started strong so far, but the Ravens are not doing bad either. Think this will be the first loss for the Titans.
Chiefs - Panthers: I would have said this would be a blow out game for the Panthers, but after watching last weeks game vs the Broncos, I've seen what the Chiefs are capable of. However, I still think Carolina will win.
Bears - Lions: Im picking the Bears here. Lions havent impressed me at all.
Falcons - Packers: Think the Packers will win. However, Rodgers is listed as questionable, and if he is, 7th round pick QB from LSU: Flynn, will start. So who knows. If this happens, and he can't live up to the expectations, the Falcons still might have a shot.
Colts - Texans: This is a matchup of 2 teams that have been playing bad. I'd say Indianapolis here, but again, both this havent lived up to the expectations either, so it might just be the Texans on top after 60 mins.
Chargers - Dolphins: Going with the Chargers here. Dont see the Dolphins stopping their highpowered offense.
Seahawks - Giants: Have to go with NY.
Redskins - Eagles: Hard pick, going with the Redskins
Buccaneers - Broncos: My pick is with the Broncos, but if the D is as bad as last week, it will probably be the Bucs. Think this is gonna be a game with A LOT of points for either side.
Bills - Cardinals: After last weeks performance by the Cards, I have to go with the Bills.
Bengals - Cowboys: Even though the Cowboys did bad last week, I expect a win here.
Patriots - 49ers: Hard pick. Pats havent been playing well without Brady and 49ers have been stepping up. Still going with the Pats though.
Steelers - Jaguars: Great matchup. Looking forward to thisone. Think the Jags will win.
Vikings - Saints: Think the Saints will win. Vikings havent impressed me yet.

Week 3: 10/16 correct
Week 4: 8/13 correct

Hope you all have a great GAMEDAY!
