stopping in to say GO NINERS!

Haven't posted since around the draft due to NBA + Olympics + election stuff, but I haven't gone anywhere (I declared my allegiance here before last season!)

Not buying Alex Smith, still, but I hope I'm wrong. I'll probably start posting a bit again now that the season is upon us.

Nice OP as usual.

Edit: Is there a GAF Pick'Em league(s) like last season? If so, may I have the links?

First time NFL GAF thread poster. :)

Started watching SNF here in the UK couple of years back, but never enjoyed a whole season. Will probably be using GamePass this year to see the majority of the games.

Don't have a team yet, just enjoying the sport :D

Thanks!

I think its Pats @ Rams, because there was an agreement that the Rams were coming to London for a few years in a row, but I think that got scrapped, and instead the Jags will be the 'home' team for a few years.

New season baby!!! Excellent OP, NFC West will be good this year I can feel it!!! Except the Rams coz fuck the Rams.

Go Cards, let's do this Kolb if we beat Seattle week 1 then it's playoffs!!! If he gets sacked 6 times and throws 2 picks then it's time to tank and go for 0-16!!!

Fantastic job with the OP, Buckethead.

SEPTEMBER 5
DAL at NYG - Should be a good, close game like it always is in when NFCE foes collide.

SEPTEMBER 9
IND at CHI - Will be the first of many losses for Luck in his early career as a Colt.
ATL at KC - A cautionary pick... KC always seems to steal away their home-openers with that great crowd backing them.
PHI at CLE - Well, it's the obvious pick... but I'm sure we'll find someway to fuck this up.
WAS at NO - Brees in the dome, almost unstoppable.
STL at DET - Blah, boring pick but the Rams aren't that good yet.
NE at TEN - Anyone (even Titan fans) expect any different?
JAC at MIN - A week-one shitfest of a match-up... No MJD, no chance.
BUF at NYJ - Well, I needed an upset in here somewhere. Why not.
MIA at HOU - The Dolphins will be assuredly be contending for that top pick.
SEA at ARI - Wilson is legit. The Cards don't have a starting QB.
SF at GB - Should be GOTW, and going with the home team to take it.
CAR at TB - Cam Cam Cam Cam Cam
PIT at DEN - I believe in Peyton. The old and injury-ravaged Steelers will get exposed this season.

SEPTEMBER 10
CIN at BAL - Ravens probably win this AFCN match-up, should be a good one.
SD at OAK - lol @ the thought of picking the early-season Chargers to win.

Gamepass is great, I end up watching practically every game over the course of the week. SNF is back on C4 and in HD, but we still don't know if Sky/ESPN are going to pick up the rest :/

What in the mothershit?

DAL at NYG - Romo will be laying on his back this game.

Sunday, September 9th:
IND at CHI - JCut against Indy's secondary leads to the Chicago Tribune shitting itself in Super Bowl hype for a week.
ATL at KC - A deep secondary against Matt Cassel? Child please.
PHI at CLE - A geriatric is the quarterback at Cleveland, and he still has nobody to throw to.
WAS at NO - Drew Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees picks up where he left off.
STL at DET - Who's going to cover Megatron in St. Louis?
NE at TEN - So. Many. Tight Ends.
JAC at MIN - A toss up in the truest sense.
BUF at NYJ - The Jets' secret offense falls flat.
MIA at HOU - Have you seen Miami's skill position players?
SEA at ARI - Have you seen Arizona's offensive line?
SF at GB - Best game of the week, and the Packers defense enjoys Alex Smith for a short time.
CAR at TB - Tampon Bay's defense will pick up where it left off last season.
PIT at DEN - Big Ben won't be happy in the fittest city in America.

Monday Night Football, September 10th:
CIN at BAL - The Brow > The Ginger - though the Ravens will sorely miss Suggs.
SD at OAK - Rivers and Gates reacquaint themselves with the league.

I am sure they can give a great game against the Packers.

Something I think that gets too much play is the Saints suffering b/c of all the upheaval. Payton is definitely a good coach, and they will miss him. But if Peyton Manning can drag Jim Caldwell's awful ass to 14-2, I think Brees can manage 10-6 with the rotating door they'll have going there
