NFL Football (Week 1)

Just a little levity.

Im already in! :)

Well Brees just looked awful.

Manning and CO. looked like they haven't missed a beat.

Addai looked really good.

Surprised about the Colts run defense, they looked very good against two solid RBs.

The Colts started out shaky on defense, giving up some big holes in the middle. They were pretty solid in second half though.

I figured it would be tough for the Saints this year. I personally thought they all overachieved last year.

I think the Saints did overachieve a bit, but remember the NFC is a very weak conference. I don't think it'll be all that difficult for them to win their division at least. There is definitely a lot of talent on that squad, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Generally, I think the Saints will be fine.

I'll be at the Jets-New England game this week.

So true about their division, especially with Vickless Falcons. Carolina is the only competition they really have. I predict about 9 wins for this team.

Yea, and how good is Carolina? They're a solid squad but I'd take the Saints over them.

They're pretty solid. Nothing great, but solid. Their problem is consistency. They'll probably split.

The preseason games are on KTLA, but i guess its a preseason contract only so there may be a few raiders games on cbs later in the season.
