PREDICTIONS Please

Superbowl: Blake Bortles becomes the latest 'weak link' quarterback since err, Foles, Manning etc and  Jax beat Atlanta in Atlanta 27-20


AFC 4 Division winners: Jax, Pats, Steelers, Kansas do it the hard way by beating enough good teams on their schedule in shootouts. Chargers possible lack of home advantage kicks in.

NFC 4 division winners: Atlanta have a much better 2nd half of season schedule than Saints and get up to win the Div, Philly. Minny's away schedule, O line and Cousins indoor outdoor splits record gives Green Bay with the easier schedule and improved secondary the edge. Rams have a had a dream off season in their Div.

Worst record/number one draft pick goes to:  Buffalo. I'm a Seattle fan so I've seen some bad O lines, but this Bills O line is scary bad. No wonder they have chosen a sacrificial lamb to start the season at QB instead of their QB of the future. I managed to get a whole £2 on 0-16 at 500/1 but have backed them worst record at 13/2 and less. The downside to the bet is they get 4 games v Jets and Miami who should be a bit better than Buffalo but not all that good themselves.

Offensive rookie of the year: Barkley probably just needs to stay fit all season to win this.

Most passing yards:

A few years ago TFT backed 3 QB's ew 4 places in a great each way market only for Peyton Manning to record a record season and our guys finished 2nd,3rd and 4th. Think there is deffo a big priced value pick this year using the same criteria of a good QB with good receiving weapons and a average to bad looking D.

Patrick Mahommes has a cannon arm, A good pass catching RB, the 2nd best TE in the game,  a brand new no2 WR in Sammy Watkins and a number 1 WR Tyerek Hill whose last 13 touchdowns have all been from over 30 yards out. And that was with Alex Smith at QB.

Their secondary is in a mess. The downside is Andy Reid is coach but if your D is letting teams score easily then you got to score lots of points. Mahommes is a really good running QB too so that might bring more injury risk but it also gives the Oppo's D an awful lot of passing weapons to keep in check on every down. Some 40/1 around 3 places and some 4 places available at shorter in spots which is great value in my eyes.

How many yards for most rushing yards:

1525 yards

Talking of the golf, Tiger shot 29 on the front nine and 62 total to share the lead with Rory. Tiger is back, proper back.

If he continues to drive it like he did today he's going to break his duck soon. The fairways are very wide there tho so he had a bit more room but he did look great off the tee.

Great news, IMO. Hope he can sustain it all weekend.

Great win for the Iggles last night, but I don't want to spend the season experiencing too many games ending like that one did.

Great defensive stand at the death after conceding big yards earlier in the drive.

[Sheriff Fatman]

Stat of the night:

Nelson Agholor finished with a higher passer rating (118. than Foles (50.7) and Ryan (57.4) combined.

[TightEnd]

Falcons have drives down to the PHI 1, PHI 5 and PHI 15.  No points on any drives.

They had 1st and goal at the Phi 1

ran this four times, with Julio Jones off the field each time

quite incredible to watch. you don't want to try spread on one down and maybe run it against 8 defenders not 11?

[TightEnd]

compare what the Eagles did, and rushed/scored

[Cavey007]

4,000 words for my weekly previews. I am shattered!

Fingers crossed for tonight, it's finally arrived!

[bobby1]

Think that Green Bay comeback has to be one of the best I've seen given what looked like a disaster when A Rod was carted off the field to getting there the way they did.

Incred game to start the season off.
