Week 1 Predictions:

Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants (WIN)
Atlanta Falcons vs. Kansas City Chiefs (WIN)
Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets (WIN)
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Minnesota Vikings (WIN)
Miami Dolphins vs. Houston Texans (WIN)
New England Patriots (WIN) vs. Tennessee Titan
Philadelphia Eagles (WIN) vs. Cleveland Browns
St Louis Rams vs. Detroit Lions (WIN)
Washington Redskins vs. New Orleans Saints (WIN)
Carolina Panthers (WIN) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
San Francisco 49ers vs. Green Bay Packers (WIN)
Seattle Seahawks (WIN) vs. Arizona Cardinals
Pittsburgh Steelers (WIN) vs. Denver Broncos
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens (WIN)
San Diego Chargers (WIN) vs. Oakland Raiders

Really found it hard to call beetween 49ers and Green Bay, went for the Packers simply for home field and now they have Benson in the backfield they should be able to mix it up and get even more yards. Going to be a great first week too, dying to see how Dallas new potential all-pro cornerbacks match up at New York.

1-15? You wish.

We'll either win the division, or have a top 5 pick. AFC West is a very weak division atm, 2 QBs coming off serious injuries, and 1 team whose only good player is the QB.

Woah......ok I'm biting. You will NOT win the division. Top 5 pick is more likely but you're not that bad I don't think. Outside your d line and starting RB I don't see too much quality.

KC look strong outside Cassell, and Denver's D will be as good, if not better this year. Peyton won't be amazing, but will be solid.

As far as the Chargers though, I think we'll be in and around the 8-8 mark - battling with you for the bottom of the division. The main reason for that is our O Line. Gaither is being Gaither and we have an UDFA starting LT. Dielman has been replaced by Green, who isn't bad but isn't Dielman. Hardwick is suffereing with a concussion, his back up is a 7th round pick who has a ton of upside, but is a 7th round pick. RG is the only spot I'm ok with having Vasquez, and RT is the revolving door that is Clary.

I think to say that Rivers is our only good player is a bit much though. Gates is still elite, Matthews is an above average back (when healthy), Philips is a very good OLB and on the other side Jarrett Johnson is a top aquisition. I'd go as far to say the OLB rotation will be as good as anything in the league this year. But we have Norv coaching us, that will ultimately lead to disappointment.

I'm aboslutely made up about that, so at least I'll be able to see some live NFL. At the moment, having limited mobile broadband and only freeview I don't have sky so i'm gutted i'll be missing the Champs v the Cowgirls tonight. Will have to ask Ma to tape it and put it on DVD, though I might stay up and listen to it on 5 Live Sports Extra.

Roll on November when I move house and get Sky back!!!
