I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

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!

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.

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.

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!

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: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
