      @MaccaI’m going out on a limb and saying Pats won’t make the SB!!!

 

Alright its been a couple of years for me of not competing in this at least!
Heres my crack at week 1:

Jags, Titans, Rams

Week 1 has to be a bit of a crapshoot doesnt it? NFL preseason games are so mickey mouse they make the NAB Cup look like the Olympics!

Count me in again

Simple and fun comp this. As well as being a lot more challenging than it looks to pick up points. Get on board !

 

Steelers

Titans

Bengals

AFC:

East: Patriots

North: Steelers

South: Texans

West: Chargers

Wild Cards: Chiefs and Jaguars

NFC:

East: Giants

North: Vikings

South: Saints

West: Rams

Wild Cards: Seahawks and Packers

 

Man, AFC was way easier than NFC. Steelers and Pats to go all the way to championship game. Found it tough to pick Texans and Chargers to win their divisions, but Chiefs and Jags will only just get pipped and will play Wild Card games.

NFC is amazing this year. How one earth did I not pick Falcons, Panthers and Eagles? Have to pick Vikings (Best D in the NFC IMO), Saints were great last year and deserved to go further. Rams are the breakout superstars of the comp... EVERYONE is picking Eagles, but at least early on they are lacking pretty much everywhere on offense. The season will get away from them early and they'll be playing catch up all year. Giants will be the shock winner of a meh NFC East. Wilson and Rodgers will see their teams through messy rosters. Eagles couldn't beat Seahawks last year. Wilson will win league MVP.

Rams

Steelers

Dallas

8 participants so far with a few to come ... I might put all the tips together in one post so people can compare tips whilst also making it easier for me to tally them all up on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

You won't see your avatar name on the leaderboard until you get off the mark although those on zero points will be lumped together as 'The Usual Suspects' or suchlike

Anyway,  thanks for the response and good luck to all. 

 

Rams

Bengals

Titans

Would have gone Steelers but want to see the Browns win.

I'll try to join this year - I regularly miss a week or two early and then fall behind/drop out, but I'll try to keep up this time!

Titans, Steelers, Rams

Guess the Lines Week 1 With Cousin Sal | The Bill Simmons Podcast

Super-Friday coming up with the Falcons @ Eagles as an ideal lead in to the Demons finals match against the Cats.  NFL & Demons for at least one week and if we prevail we'll do it all again Friday week with another NFL/Demons double. 

Anyway,  Atlanta has been touted as a team that can contend whilst Foles could well start off where he left off and win again.  I fancy the Eagles but it could be close.  Really good pipe-opener,  all the same. 

11 in the comp with maybe 1 or 2 more to come.  Could get real interesting with a full crew going at it.  Hope all your teams win and most importantly,  go the mighty Demons!

Cameron Johnston first 2 punts: 65 yards and 56 yards. 60.5 average. Not a bad start.

Hardly a classic, but I'll take it. Soft 3 weeks now then the scary stuff starts.

Just got to the end of the game ... average/ordinary affair to be honest - a fizzer.

Ryan seemed out of it in terms of a winning throw  at the death - 'rust' all round with 1 team coming out on top.  Not sure we learned a lot Dappa,  if anything.

Yup,. Came away from it at first relieved for the win, and impressed by the D.... but on reflection (especially after an unforgettable final tonight) it really was a bad team beating up on a worse team. Lots of work to do.

So often happens - hype exceeds the actuality.  Both teams looked out of sorts although the Philly special was a highlight.

Season proper will deliver though - it always does.  When a whole bunch of games played at the same time happens,  the drama eventuates.

I can't wait to watch the remaining week 1 games. Some teams I wanna get around like Rams, Pack etc... Never mind today's schlockfest.

@JV7  would have to be disappointed even though the win was there for the taking at the death.

As for the Eagles,  as Barassi once said when he coached us,  a win is a win is a win.  Bank the win and go to Tampa and hopefully advance to 2 & 0.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
