Steeelers win!

Trubisky is still terrible but Steelers on the back of their D get the win.

Watt out is going to really hurt them, Heywood looked banged up late too.

    Cowboys stinking the joint out

    As are the Packers

    The Vikings are way better and the Bears could be very competitive as well

    Devante Adams is already being missed (big time) and the other WR's aren't much chop (running game average as well)

    Could be a long season for the both of us, Betters!!

    Saints, Ravens, Broncos 

    Looks like you are the only one still alive, Clint

    Broncos get up and you pick up 2 points with an added bonus point for going solo

    Good luck!

    The Oline looks as porous af. Dak spent a lot of the day on his backside

    And the dumb penalties continued unabated

    Not a very bright start at all

    Early takeaways ...

    Brady is as good as ever (he's never lost to the Cowboys) Tampa are a very good team especially with TB12 at the helm

    Mahomes stunning at Arizona (5 x TD's & no Int) KC are back

    The Bears might be alright.  As too, the Vikings who look ready to make a run to the playoffs

    49ers might be in the bracket as the Cowboys & Packers in the NFC.  Rams slow out of the blocks as well.  Early doors though and it's only week 1

    Ravens & Chargers start well and get it done.  Miami as well with a good win over the Pats

    Eagles, Commanders, Browns & Saints made hard work of it but a win is a win

    Patriots struggled but the Bills look the team to beat even at this early stage

    And the highly favoured Colts couldn't get it done at Houston

    Is it too late for me to change for the Eagles in the NFC East, Dak's injury just about dooms the Cowboys. Liking the Vikings in the NFC north too but let's see what Rodgers can do with these young receivers with more time. Oh and Bucs to win the NFC looks likely but I'm still a bit worried about Brady.

    Bears and Texans were tipped to be the worst 2 teams in the NFL and I really think both teams are going to be too well coached and organised for that to be the case. They won't be good, they lack talent and have limited offenses, but Lovie Smith got elevated in Houston just do a solid job with a roster that's slowly trending the right way.

    And whilst the national media have crapped all over the Bears for not giving Fields enough blocking and weapons the word out of the Bears from anyone who's seen them train or play so far has been that they're really professional and organised. Fields looks a long way off consistently running a seamless offense, especially one this devoid of talent. But what he can do is make huge plays. The Bears will try to stay in games for as long as possible before Fields makes a couple of huge throws and wins them. That won't beat the elite teams but it's not a terrible recipe against the lesser sides.

    Well we're not playing for a sheep station but the answer isn't yes! haha

    On Sportscenter this arvo Tim Hasselbeck was talking about Dallas getting another QB in for the short term (as an immediate starter) A particular player who was familiar with their set plays

    Dak could be out for 2 or 3 weeks minimum and it's his throwing hand with that broken thumb (I believe)

    Don't know a lot about Fields but all that sounds ok anyway.  I'd wish you good luck but we're divisional rivals!  And the rivalry is fierce

    The Divisional system especially in the NFL is fantastic.  8 different leagues within 2 conferences works a treat

    As for Lovie Smith, not surprised he got another chance.  They like giving 2nd & 3rd chances in American sports and he did win 3 divisional titles at the Bears

    As usual, we lose a RB in the first game. Ahh

    He made the plays when they counted. His cross field pass to an open Dante Pettis was not the easiest to make but he set himself well and pulled it off. Turning point in the game.

    Credit to the Bears, they have some great young prospects on D and I'm a big fan of Roquan Smith. Some things are in certain teams DNA and forcing turnovers has always been in Chicago's.

    The biggest prob at Tampa is the oline. Parsons lived in the back field.

    Vikes looked good.

    Packers oline is banged up bad, but they did well in the run game, look for bigger run game which will give Rodgers more time with his receivers.

    Cowboys… ha ha ha

    You'll never guess what happened!

    No one gained any points in the tipping comp

    Clint went close, but no cigar

    Resume normal transmission

    I'll post up the week 2 games tomorrow sometime but we've got a good game on Friday ... Chargers @ Chiefs

    I know it’s only week one, but all I saw was that this years most definitely about the AFC.

    And nearly all our teams stunk up the joint!

    The AFC is where the power is, the collection of up and coming QBs in that conference is scary and will be for years to come.

    Week 2 games (and a tough week for finding road winners)

    1 Point on offer (plus a bonus point if you are on the money, flying solo)

    SNF this week is Chicago @ Green Bay

    Oldest rivalry in the sport with 203 meetings.  Packers hold a slight advantage with 103 wins vs Bears 96 wins (along with 6 ties)

    MNF has 2 games this week and both could be keenly contested ... Titans @ Bills along with Vikings @ Eagles

    The two 7Mate games on Monday morning are decent too

    3.00am Bucs @ Saints

    6.25am Arizona @ Las Vegas Raiders

    I worry about the Packers oline in protecting Rodgers, reckon a run heavy game could really help.

    Rams oline is banged up too, Falcons can get us, gotta pound the rock and get the ball to Higbee and Robinson. We can’t rely on Kupp every play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
