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!!

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
