Patriots @ Jets
Dolphins @ Redskins
Titans @ Jaguars

Lions @ Raiders
Bears @ Chargers
Buccaneers @ Seahawks
Giants @ Cowboys
Ravens @ Bengals
Cardinals @ 49'ers

I'm just being optimistic here. I don't necessarily always pick the way I feel when it comes to the teams I like.

Oh, and Saints @ Colts
We should keep track all year and put something up to be won at the end of the year or something.

Yeah I think that's a great idea. It'll be up to everyone to tally their record up at the end of each week. For the record I thought the Saints would beat the Colts, so I'm 0-1 so far.

So, seriously, are you optimistic about the Broncos' chances this season? You think Cutler will come into his own? Shanahan is gonna make a BEAST out of Travis Henry.

Willie and Ben are just gonna tear them up...and the defense is gonna make Brady Quinn look real appetizing to Romeo Crennel. I feel like it's gonna be a goddamn massacre!

Can't pick everything straight up, that's not fun! If it was in Pittsburgh I would go the other way.

I'm very optimistic. And yes, Travis Henry is gonna rip some shit up, but what I like the most so far in the preseason, was his back up, an undrafted free agent named Selvin Young. That guy can fucking run.
I say they'll go 11-5 and win a playoff game.

Yeah I just picked up Selvin in the fantasy league as a backup to Henry.

Man, no one has any love for the Ravens it seems. I'm also starting to regret picking the Vikings, and the Raiders. Hopefully the Vikings can continue their trend of the past couple of years by starting out their first 6 games or so winning and seeming good, but then when you actually look they just get lucky as fuck and then start to get crushed the rest of the season.

Then again, Vick is gone, Dunn is one year older, they still have no WRs, and I don't think they're Def is going to be too great either.

Okay.
Have you seen the Vikings starter? I'm a NFC Central fan, so I've been paying attention. Tavaris Jackson is TERRIBLE. He wouldn't start at Appalachian State. If he is not gone by week 3, he will get better. But he's certainly not going to be fresh out of the gate on Week 1. He's really really bad. And Adrian Peterson is going to snap right in half the first time an NLF player hits him.
And the Lions should be a bit better this year. I think Kitna is a pretty good QB. And most of the dead-weight form that offense is gone, right? All those shitty WR's? I can't seem them not beating OAKLAND. Who are they starting again at QB? Oh, thats right. Nobody knows. And the Falcons, I think, will be better off with Harrington than with Vick.
But I'm not a big Vick fan at all.

I apologize in advance, by the way. I'm fucking hammered right now. Not to say it's an excuse... but it's a fucking excuse. So if anything I said doesn't make sense, I'm blaming it on alcohol. I'll read this shit over tomorrow and edit anything that I say "What the fuck?!" to.

I've missed one game so far (GB over PHI) in my office pool. I don't mind though b/c I love GB, plus I think everyone else picked Philly too.

Yeah, I think the Broncos-Bills game was better too.
I don't feel like tallying up my picks, but I did pretty bad. Probably around .500 or less.
