NFL Early Games- Open Thread

PrintThe Colts do not play until 4:15pm Eastern today. A thread for that will pop up at 3:30pm. This thread is for the early games. Which games are you watching? San Diego at Buffalo looks like it could be a good one along with New Orleans and Carolina. If John McCargo plays in that Bills game I might just crap my pants. I gotta say, Drew Brees is the MVP thus far. That should make the Purdue faithful happy, and make MasterRWayne cry in his morning cereal.
And don't forget to set your Flea Flicker fantasy rosters today!

Here in the Twin Cities,
We’ll be watching the Bears vs Vikings at noon (CDT), rooting for the Bears, naturally. Then we’ll take in the Colts vs Packers, at which time even my Bears-Fan hubby and kids will root for my Colts in a show of solidarity, despite that whole SB XLI thang.
Since the Twin Cities contain almost as many Packer-Backers as Vikes fans, we’re in enemy territory today.

Ok, back from church just in time for Kickoff! Go Bears!

Way to excited for football this week
had a dream I woke up at 1 and checked the games. They were the right early games too, CHI-MIN was 0-0 and TEN was already blowing out the Chiefs.

Picks today
Giants over 49ers 27-17
Vikings over Bears 16-13
Dolphins over Ravens 20-16
Cowboys over Rams 28-20
Saints over Panthers 27-24 (This one was really back and forth)
Chargers over Bills 24-20 (Technically an upset)
Steelers over Bengals 24-10
Titans over Chiefs 24-3
Texans over Lions 30-21
Colts over Packers 27-24
Jets over Raiders 24-17
Redskins over Browns 27-20
Buccaneers over Seahawks 24-14
Don’t really see any upsets this week, which means half of the games will be upsets and I’ll be completely wrong.
I switched to Vikings at the very last second, I have a feeling that will backfire.

On Sunday Ticket game mix, PIT/CIN is on two screens, it’s on SD/BUF too. And the one on SD/BUF is actually about a second AHEAD of the actual PIT/CIN game screen.

Kyle Orton competent QB is just bizarre
Vikings drop 8 into coverage, Orton looks off the safety and threads one perfect down the middle to a TE in the endzone. It was dropped, but that is not the play I expect for Orton

Don't really know where he fits in the D
He’s best as a 3-4 LB, he had issues when they tried him as a 4-3 end. I don’t know how he’d work in the Colt D.
