Man god damn why does week 1 have to be so long from now?  What just sucks even more is that college football Labor Day weekend is just littered with a bunch of junk boring games, aside from maybe the LSU- FSU game, so don't really have a whole lot to find interesting there.

Anyway ... Agree with all but a few of those assessments

I'm actually gonna go with the surprise call Pitt over SF.  Don't get me wrong SF will be rolling soon as usual, but they've shown early season vulnerability when traveling to the east coast before and will again.

Also .... Ehhh that Buf vs NYJs game I think will be pretty close.  In the end, yeah the Bills mafia probably take it, but I'm definitely banking Aaron Rodgers makes it tough on them.

Yeah....woke up & couldnt get back to sleep.....so I got this started thinking things were starting on Thursday.
Was 1/3 in when the game dates I was looking at registered ... but I figured to just go ahead and finish it.

I'd "paused" over that SF/PIT game as well....for similar reasons you cited: PIT may be catching them at home at the right time...but went with the "more likely" result: SF holds serve.  I think PITs got a shot at it though. The LAC over MIA was another one that I think could go the other way.

Truth be told...at this stage I dont know the roster status of many of these teams....hence, the crap shoot factor in many/most of these choices.

One would think Nick Bosa is not playing in that game. He's been a hold in all camp and has not participated. Waiting out a new deal. Miami's big tackle Wilkins is holding out as well and that one doesn't sound like a resolution is forthcoming soon.

Good info....of which I was not aware.

For no exact reasonm I think this is gonna be Tua's last season. I think he's at a point where a normal tackle - that makes his head hit the ground hard enough - will cause another concussion....and I dont think he's got many more of them left in him.

Yeah, I think he is one concussion away from someone having a serious conversation with him about his future well-being. I was a bit surprised that conversation hasn't happened alreay.

It has. Very prominent CTE neuroscientists have chimed in on it.. including direct advice.

I'm most curious to see how Detroit does against KC. That one will be interesting to see if the Lions hype is real. Early in the season but Detroit is going to be amped up for that one no doubt. 

Detroit is going to get F'd in the A.  That is how they will do against the Chiefs.  Can't wait until that hype train is derailed.  They ALMOST made the playoffs after picking top 10 for 35 years, and suddenly they are contenders.  GTFO with that nonsense.  28-17 Chiefs, in a game that isn't even that close.
