Season kicks off this weekend.

Hopefully the Lions go 1 better and make the play-offs.
How long will the Rodgers honeymoon last at the Jets?
Can the Chiefs go back to back or will the Bills finally break through for their maiden win?

Thoughts?

Chiefs have had a mixed off season but their OL has as been improved greatly from last season giving Pat even more time. I think if our WR can catch they’ll put up some big scores.

No Chris Jones due to a contract dispute worries me a bit in our defence but you only have to score more than the opposition.

A good spread of games on TV this week:

Travis Kelce injured his knee overnight, waiting for official word on how long he’ll be out

As a fan, i bloody hope so. We are certainly playing a better brand. And i am a massive fan of the coach.

Less than 24 hours till the first game, anyone give the Lions a chance in KC?

Tomorrow is a real danger game for the Chiefs, had a poor off season IMO and probably no Kelce and limited minutes to a number of others.

As if I'd do that.

Yeah baby, NFL season has started!

Nice start by the Lions in getting the first TD after a risking the fake punt inside their own 20 earlier in the drive.

The Lions will make the playoffs. They'll be good but not great, the rest of the division is pretty ordinary IMO.

Vikings are hoping an improved defence with Flores who should be a better Defensive co-ordinator make them contenders, but overall I don't see it and think we will be lucky to win 8 games.

Joe Burrow has agreed to a 5 year extension of his contract at Cincinnati at an average of 55 million a year to make him the highest paid player in NFL history.

Good win by the Lions and an entertaining game to watch. No doubting the Chiefs would have won with Kelce though.

Chiefs have the worst record in the NFL!

As I said our off season has been ordinary so I was not surprised with the result

GO LIONS!!!!

Rodgers hurt 5 minutes into round 1

Week 1 and the Chiefs, Bills and Bengals all lose. No one would have picked that.

Jets, Raiders, Browns and Jags all top in the AFC
