The Jets offense isn't back. Bills 28 - Jets 24 Philadelphia vs Tennessee 1:00 McNabb is ... Goooooood, Eagles 32 - titans 24 San Diego vs Cincinnati 1:00 Don't be fooled by Drew Brees, He has never started a game. bungles 10 - Chargers 3 New Orleans vs Tampa Bay 4:15 This one won't be close, Brooks looks like his end of 2001 self Tampa Bay 45, New Orleans 20 Seattle vs Oakland 4:15 I have my Jerry Rice Jersey on right now, and it ain't coming off until Sunday. Dilfer hasn't lost a game in forever, DIlfer isn't playing. Seattle has the worst opening game record of any team. Oakland 31 - Seattle 10 St. Louis vs Denver 4:15 Martz tricks the Broncos all day with Crouch... By benching his ass the whole time. Rams 43 - Broncos 30 Dallas vs Houston 8:30 Dallas 23, Texans 17 September 9 Pittsburgh vs New England 9:00 The Ulimate Revenge Game, Too Bad Kordell still can't throw Patriots 24 - Steelers 17
September 5 San Francisco vs NY Giants 8:30 SF is over-rated. Giants "D" buries the 49er's 49ers 10 - Giants 31 September 8 Arizona vs Washington 1:00 Ugly game of the week. Skins 7 - AZ 6 Atlanta vs Green Bay 1:00 Green Bay at home. Nuff said. Green Bay 24 - ATL 17 Baltimore vs Carolina 1:00 Ravens "D", but no "O". Balti-nevermore - 13, Carolina 3 Detroit vs Miami Just cuz I can't stand the Dolphins. Dolphins 14 - Lions 24 Indianapolis vs Jacksonville 1:00 Indy will be ready for this one. Colts 42 - Jags 21 Kansas City vs Cleveland 1:00 Bow-wow-wow. Brownies 20 - Chiefs 10 Minnesota vs Chicago 1:00 Da Bears! Bears 23 - Vikings 20 NY Jets vs Buffalo 1:00 Bills play well during the season then flub in the post season. Bills 31 - Jets 24 Philadelphia vs Tennessee 1:00 Eagles fly!! Eagles 45 - Titans 14 San Diego vs Cincinnati 1:00 Chargers still suck even without Ryan Leaf. Bengles 14 - Chargers 3 New Orleans vs Tampa Bay 4:15 The Saints will be in last place this season. Tampa Bay 37, New Orleans 7 Seattle vs Oakland 4:15 RAIDAS!!! Oakland 31 - Seattle 3 St. Louis vs Denver 4:15 The Rams are still a high powered offense with no defense. Rams 41 - Broncos 35 Dallas vs Houston 8:30 I absolutely hate the Cowboys. Dallas 13, Texans 17 September 9 Pittsburgh vs New England 9:00 Steel Curtain 2002! Patriots 14 - Steelers 27
San Francisco vs NY Giants 8:30 Giants still can't score. Too much offense for the Niners. SF 23, Giants 13 September 8 Arizona vs Washington 1:00 Fun and Gun works, but the defense is the true surprise. Redskins 27, Cards 6 Atlanta vs Green Bay 1:00 It'll take a while for Glenn to gel with Favre, but the Packers have too much talent to lose this. Packers 20, Falcons 12 Baltimore vs Carolina 1:00 These teams suck, but the Ravens can at least run the football. Ravens 17, Panthers 3 Detroit vs Miami Miami's offensive line isn't enough to win a Super Bowl, but enough to get them by the Lions. Dolphins 27, Lions 13 Indianapolis vs Jacksonville 1:00 Though Tony Dungy will help, the home crowd and a healthy Fred Taylor makes Jacksonville a good sleeper to win this. Jaguars 24, Colts 21 Kansas City vs Cleveland 1:00 Cleveland's still iffy at running back unless Green makes a huge push, and Couch is gimpy. The Chiefs have good talent at the skill positions this year, and could be a sleeper team. Chiefs 23, Browns 17 Minnesota vs Chicago 1:00 The Vikings offense is back, and the Bears prove that 01 was a fluke. Vikings 31, Bears 16 NY Jets vs Buffalo 1:00 Drew makes an early statement with a two minute drive to win it. Bills 17, Jets 14 Philadelphia vs Tennessee 1:00 The Eagles are never a great regular season team, and the Titans look poised to rebound from a disappointing 01. Titans 20, Eagles 17 San Diego vs Cincinnati 1:00 Same old Bengals. Drew Brees can play. Chargers 13, Bengals 10 New Orleans vs Tampa Bay 4:15 New Orleans is the most underrated team in the league. Prior to the meltdown in the last four games, this was a very quality team with an improving QB. Deuce will be better than Ricky in this offense with his ability to catch the ball. Saints make a statement early. Saints 28, Bucs 20 Seattle vs Oakland 4:15 Gruden's departure is overrated. It's going to be tough to win in Oakland, as always. Raiders 38, Seahawks 17 St. Louis vs Denver 4:15 Game of the week. The Rams offense is great, but so is Denver's with the additions of Portis and Lelie. It's a shootout, but I'm going with the home team. Broncos 34, Rams 31 Dallas vs Houston 8:30 Dallas is overrated. The Texans, going by predictions here, are underrated. Texans 24, Cowboys 16 September 9 Pittsburgh vs New England 9:00 The Patriots aren't a fluke, but the Steelers are the best team in football. Steelers 20, Patriots 14
That is just too much s hit to predict.

phislamma and drapg - you both suck!!! The Bears will win. San Francisco 27 NY Giants 17 Washington 31 Arizona 10 Green Bay 24 Atlanta 21 Baltimore 14 Carolina 7 Miami 27 Detroit 12 Indianapolis 31 Jacksonville 14 Cleveland 20 Kansas City 16 Chicago 27 - The Bears are not losing to the vikings...

Pittsburgh 29 New England 31
sorry Sonny, I'm just not sold on the Jim Miller/Chris Chandler QB combo... its easy to catch lightning in a bottle for one season, but to have it last for a second? Hmm... add that Dez White is a starting WR (I think) and I smell trouble... of course Urlacher, Colvin, and Holdman could prove all that inconsequential... i think Minn will bust out in the first 3 games of the season, than come back down to earth...
What's wrong with Dez White? You add him to Marcus Robinson and Marty Booker and the passing game will be clicking. Miller was off last year because he didn't have MROB to hit with the deep pass. Luckily A-Train saved the day. Lightning in a bottle huh? I guess New England was a fluke also? We will see...
Why even have another season, 01-02 was the apex of football history. San Fran vs. NYG Niners 23 - 10 Arizona vs. Washington Skins 41 - 13 Atlanta vs. Green Bay Pack 17 - 14 Baltimore vs. Carolina Ravens 13 - 6 Detroit vs. Miami Lions 28 - 21 Indy vs. Jacksonville Colts 33 - 24 KC vs. Cleveland Browns 17 - 9 Minny vs. Chicago Bears 21 - 7 NYJ vs. Buffalo Drew Bledsoe's 27 - 17 Philly vs. Tenn Eagles 23 - 10 SD vs. Cincy Bengals 14 - 13 NO vs. Tampa Bay Buccs 31 - 28 Seattle vs. Oakland Seahawks 24 - 21 St. Louis vs. Denver Rams 34 - 27 Dallas vs. Houston Texans 17 - 10 Pittsburgh vs. The Defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots Pats 24 - 13
whatever happened to David Terrell? I'm just wondering why White is starting over him. I'm not a Bears fan, but you seem to be (or at least you follow them), so I thought I'd ask you. as for New England, with the team playing in the toughest division in the NFL, I don't see too much success in their future.

I can't believe some of you think the Seahawks will beat the Raiders in Oakland no less, I will bet that game as a LOCK. I guarantee the Raiders will beat Seattle, They have too much talent to lose, Adams and Parrela could do what Traylor and Washington did for the Bears. Whats with that Sonny, I pick your Bears to win and you show me no love, Well This thread will be a sure favorite during this season I'm looking forward to proving all your asses wrong again. If the Raiders lose and the Bears win I will personally Write a 100 word essay on the greatness of the Bears. If the Bears Lose, I will simply laugh at you.
San Francisco 31 NY Giants 17 Washington 24 Arizona 10 Green Bay 24 Atlanta 14 Baltimore 20 Carolina 10 Miami 20 Detroit 10 Indianapolis 35 Jacksonville 14 Cleveland 20 Kansas City 10 Chicago 21 Minnesota 20 NY Jets 24 Buffalo 20 Philadelphia 24 Tennessee 17 Cincinnati 24 San Diego 14 Tampa Bay 20 New Orleans 17 Seatle 21 Oakland 17 St Louis 38 Denver 24 Dallas 17 Houston 3 New England 24 Pittsburgh 20
I am not 100% sure who they will be starting out of the 4. I think Dez has had a better training camp though. The top 2 will be Booker and Robinson. I think Terrell will get the nod over Dez White for now. But they should all get a lot of touches(I hope).
You did kinda stun me with your pick of the Bears to win. I just wasn't sure you meant it. I am gonna edit my picks, the Raiders can't lose, right?
Moe - it was a good day today! Go Bears! and Texans! drapg and The Cat - what you got to say now? I got the 27pts right for the Bears.
