Week 1 NFL Regular Season Official Thread

[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

My high hopes for the Chiefs this year have all been devastated due to injury.   First they lost 1rst Round draft pick wide receiver Baldwin in a locker room brawal with Thomas Jones.  Then Todd Haley's renegade stategy (only other coach I remember doing it was Buddy Ryan) of attempting to play his starters for all of game 4 blew up in his face when future star tight end was injured for the season, starting tackle Barry Richardson suffered injury as well, and Matt Cassel and Jamal Charles also got banged up (although they are both likely to play).

The Bills on the other hand have impressed me some.  Merriman looks to be a possible candidate for comeback player of the year this year.  And I've been impressed by their line play, running back play, and their depth at quarterback and wide receiver.  I'm a big fan of Tyler Thigpen and would love to see him end up with the starting spot.

Should make for a great game week 1.  Shallow, you ready to make your official prediction?   I over-reacted a little when I first heard Moeki went down for the season.  I think it will cause the Chiefs to be significantly worse this year; but I just don't know if Buffalo has totally turned the corner yet.  I still see the Chiefs as slightly better than the Bills.  So I got the Chiefs, and I got them covering the spread.

I don't expect the Bills to win the division or anything like that, but I think they can be in the wildcard race near the end of the season. Although Cinci won the division over the Steelers and Ravens just a couple years back and they came of nowhere, so Buff taking it to a depleted Pats and and a shaky in the season Jets wouldn't be as shocking to me as the Colts beating the Texans with Collins at QB. I expect the Bills to do between 8-8 and 10-6. While I expect the Cheifs to do between 6-10 and 8-8.

So make it official then.  Are you or are you not picking the Bills to beat the Chiefs on Sunday?

Titans to beat the Jags and it won't be close. Bank for a division/wild card battle

Well mostly i'd pull for Jax over the Titans but not this time after the poor timing of them cutting David Garrard    That's so New England like.  And they're already a bunch under the cap as is, what if Gabbert & the other dude they have get injured?  At least Garrard knows their offense.  There's just a lot wrong with the Jaguars team, feel sorry for their fans.

BEcause until just now I hadn't read Manning was out indefinitely I left the Indy game off the ticket, but my 5 games are Bills to beat the spread, Seahawks to beat the spread (and win the game), Titans ton beat the spread and most likely win, Lions to win, and Giants to win.

I like the Lions and Seahawks picks as well. Almost went with those myself.

9 is a lot (Hou-Ind) but Kerry Collins will be a sitting duck
