Thursday night, baby. Finally. Which games are you most hyped for, from a neutral perspective or your own?
Chiefs at Patriots
Falcons at Bears
Steelers at Browns
Jaguars at Texans
Ravens at Bengals
Eagles at Redskins
Jets at Bills
Raiders at Titans
Cardinals at Lions
Colts at Rams
Seahawks at Packers
Panthers at 49ers
Giants at Cowboys
Saints at Vikings
Chargers at Broncos
A lot of reasons to be excited here, chiefly because football is back. KC/NE is a great kickoff matchup with the defending champions and a Chiefs team with several exciting elements. I'm pretty sure Mahomes won't be starting but Tyreek Hill is electrifying, and we get to see the Patriots machine really get going after a 1-3 preseason.
I'd say Colts/Rams as a fan but with Tolzien under center you can pretty much pencil this one in as a loss, even against Jared Goff.
Falcons offense hasn't looked impressive in preseason but they're stacked with weapons and are up against a pretty bad Bears team (guessing Glennon is the starter too).
Vikes/Saints - AP returns to Minnesota.
Bucs have a lot of expectations this year so I'm intrigued by how they start offensively against Miami.
Myles Garrett's NFL debut; think he sacks Big Ben?
Shanahan's first real game with SF... Seattle/GB is always fun...
What about you?

These threads were fun last year because almost every week I'd say something along the lines of "this game and that game could be fun" and jimanchower would dismiss the whole thread with "uh, those games are all pretty crappy dude."

Not really interested this year. I'm already resigned to my Cowboys going backwards. Maybe in about 8 or 9 weeks when the season's taken shape I'll be more invested.

Probably Giants/Cowboys. Not just because the Giants are playing but I am interested to see if Dallas performs as well as last seasons regular season run. Do they dominate? Do they go about equal to last years quality? Or is their opening game a brain fart and they get stomped as the usual idiots at ESPN HQ start hitting the panic button and whining for Romo to come back? Also, that Jaguars/Texans game. Good idea for the schedulers to put this one on during week 1. I can't imagine this game pulling in the ratings By December  |

Every week the only game I really care about is the Dolphins. (Well, and whoever needs to lose or win to help the Dolphins.)

Seahawks-Packers and Giants-Cowboys look like the best games for Week 1. Any predictions for Chiefs/Pats? Pats 28-KC 17 KC are going backwards this year. Looking forward to that match though, along with the other AFCW ones. Giants-Boys also a winner. |

Have they named a starter yet - is it Smith or Mahomes? It's final cutdown day too - rosters need to be trimmed to 53 by 4:00pm. Curious to see who's out there - Cruz was just cut by the Bears......savvy vet. Guess he's shot and done. |

It'll definitely be Smith but the Mahomes stuff is gonna screw with him psychologically and create a weird locker room. Ware is out too. They'll do OK but I think it'll be tougher than they're used to. Very hard division to predict though. |

Very hard division to predict though. i'm expecting Carr to bounce back and the Raiders to be in first Rivers and the Chargers in last. can mix and match Denver and KC as to who is 2nd and 3rd. competitive division. |

Well, acquiring Jacoby Brissett gives the Colts a better option than Scott Tolzien, but I'm not sure if he'll be up to speed for the Rams game.
