NFL Season Baby

[fundonny]

Who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl this year?

PS. I have a feeling Dan will delete ProLine and Fantasy Football talk, so PM me if you want to talk.

Proline and FFL is ok. Just please don't use the forum to set up private bets on sports.

[fundonny]

Okie dokie. You hear that "Richard"? LOL

["Richard"]

So dan, just to be clear.. I can ask donny if he thinks the packers are going to cover +7.5 against the rams on proline...

["Richard"]

yeah yeah donny I heard him... so you will be making to proline pool picks this year...

[fundonny]

I'll be playing proline all year baby! Point Spread only though, money line is for suckers!

[Kilroy]

Just keep within the spirit of the rule and within Canadian law.

Thanks.

You got it dan..

Donny, what is your record? I was 60% last year... nothing special but still better than most.

60% if I took everything, about 75% if I stuck to 2 or 3 games a week

Buffalo is going to win everything.......and the Sens aren't going to explode in the playoffs.....and TO is going to keep his mouth shut.

Donny,

I am a Cowboys fan. I was just wondering if you could handicap them for me and give me your idea of how you think they will do thi yera.

Thanks

I'm a huge Dolphins fan, but I don't think the Super Bowl sleeper predictions are realistic. Their schedule is pretty weak so I can see a decent record and a quick out the playoffs unless they can get the o-line fixed. And their secondary is meat right now, needs to get healthy to have any kind of shot.

[Ginker]

I am going Bengals.. you heard it here first lol..

The funny thing is, the bills are absolutely terrible, but almost anything could happen in their division. The Pats are in theory the favourites, but they're not a great looking team. The Bills are obviously the worst team of the bunch, but in a crappy bunch like that, the underdog can often come out on top...can't they? That playoff spot is completely up for grabs, but whoever gets it is going to get blown out of the water come playoff time (as you said, spackler).

the cowboys have one of the best teams in the league this year according to vegas. 10-1 to take it all, the colts are 6-1 and then steelers are 8-1

Don't underestimate the Jets, they're just as bad as the Bills! I kind of like Denver this year, especially as well as Cutler seems to be playing. Did the opposite of Leinart, got in their early and has been working hard. Hard to go with a rookie, but I can't see them doing anything with Plummer.

Tough division. I don't believe in T.O. Bledsoe can't move. Julius Jones is injury prone. Marion Barber has fumbleidis... This isn't a team to put money on, but at the same time you can't count them out. Look for Bledsoe and Terry Glenn to have a good season. Jason Witten is also going to be a top 10 tight end. I love Roy Williams. Defense is solid. IF they can avoid turnovers, they'll finish 10-6.

I tore my ACL playing football back in 2003, and trust me, Culpepper is not going to be 100% for a while. He tore THREE ligaments. I see Joey Harrington starting at least 5 or 6 games this year. Ronnie Brown, HUGE year. Chris Chambers and Randy McMichael, HUGE. David Boston could be a sleeper. On defense, they're getting older, but should still be solid enough. Miami wins the division due to lack of competition from a Buffalo (need a QB), the Jets (need a RB) and the Pats.

Healthy Carson Palmer, yep.

I am going Bengals.. you heard it here first lol..

Good lord. Cutler played ONE game. An exhibition game. Let's wait before we hand him the keys to the house that Elway built.

Steelers repeat. They are the most complete team in football.

[fundonny]

Not sold on Fast Willie yet. And if even though they say his thumb injury is minor, let's not forget how devastating a thumb injury can be to a quarterback (Kurt Warner). I don't see them repeating.

Two weeks from today, my couch groove gets started again!
