    Who ya got?

    Some people are predicting a 16-0 season for the Patriots.

    I like the Pats to win the AFC.

    Who ya got in the NFC?

    Current NFC Divisional Faves (per Vegas)

    Cowboys/Falcons/Packers/Seahawks

    Hard to argue with those 4 teams as pre-season faves.

    Zeke suspended 6 games. I'm leaning more toward Packers and Falcons for the NFC crunch time.

    Yeah. Good point, my brother. :salute:

    Between us, and some others at PF who like the NFL Pigskin, I foresee great potential for this thread.

    You know what?

    I like to give it about 4 regular season games before I can really judge.

    But, in general, I look for early season over achievers.

    For example, could the Dolphins with Cutler contend for a Wild Card?

    Is Cousins ready to step up with Skins in a contract year?

    Is Cam Newton gonna stop crapping the bed?

    Etc.?

    this will be a waste of time to post this since it ALWAYS goes ignored but I am excited about tonights Cowboys game since the classic rivalry of the LOS ANGELES Rams 'the team that went from my most hated team the last 22 years while in st louis to my favorite team again like they used to be while in LA.:grin:" is back in full swing again back in LA where they belong.:rock_slayer::banana::clapping:

    The Rams not playing in LA is a travesty of justice.Thats like the Cowboys moving to Alaska or Florida or somewhere.If they are not called the DALLAS Cowboys,they are not the Cowboys.Same with the Rams. my NEW team i hate now for moving is the chargers.I never in my entire life thought i would say this since I have always been a raider hater but I will root for the RAIDERS to even beat the chargers for now on when they play each other like i will with every team that plays that team now same as I once did with the Rams in that hicktown st louis.

    Yeah. Could happen.

    It is unreal how Cousins is banking all this money playing under the franchise tag.

    42 mill (for this year and last) and he hasn't even gotten his big FA deal.

    I was reading today that there is a lot of Vegas money going on Raiders to win the SB.

    Pats are still the fave (obviously).

    But, hella money being put on the Raiders to win the SB.

    Raiders are 4-1 and pats are 3-1. Raiders are good, they are the Pats biggest threats in the AFC for sure.

    The skins have already opted not to give Cousins the massive deal. Now that he's publically asked to be traded or released, I think that gives the Skins even more motivation not to offer him the big deal. I bet he goes to SF and gets over 100 mil

    Yeah.

    Cousins next deal will be over 100 mil, no matter where he lands.

    But, yeah, about the Raiders.

    A lot of people thought they had a good chance last year before Carr got hurt.

    I guess a lot are back on their bandwagon.

    Mexico City (with Raiders as "Home" team).

    Raiders have a good D line that will give Brady a lot of trouble.

    Could be a great One-Two punch.

    Especially if Carmichael can get creative with some offensive looks with 2 RBs.

    AP seems like an odd fit for them. He can't catch worth crap. He's a runners runningback.

    I saw they were listed as co-starters.

    Yeah, but who knows?

    They probably will share the load, alternate plays (given the situation) and maybe appear together in an occasional 2-back set.

    Yea. I wonder what this means for Drew being a pass heavy guy. Saints D is still all kinds of messed up

    Yup.

    Brees will sleepwalk to another 5k+ passing yards.

    But, yeah, with that D it seems they are still a level below competing with Atlanta.
