    Lots of good matchups!
    Road Teams I like: Falcons., Jags, Cowboys, Redskins, Bears, Rams ... The Steelers should go without saying.
    Home teams: Colts (LOVE 'em), Pats (need to score about 35 points though), Vikings, Chargers (Mahomes sucks.. second coming of Jay Schroeder) and Lions (tough debut for Darnold) ...

    You and I need a side bet on Colts-Bengals :)

    Is there a reason the Colts and Bengals played the final week of the preseason and then open the season against each other?

    This is Frank Reich’s first Head Coaching job. I hope I live long enough to see him get his3rd head coaching job, the Third Reich.

    Texans - Pats is clearly the early start marquee, but Niners - Vikings is intriguing to see Jimmy G go up against the Vikings defense.

    Bills/Ravens -- first to 13 points wins? Take the over on the number of interceptions prop.

    Late games a little lacking, but I think the Chiefs and Chargers are going to battle it out for the AFC West, so that could be a pretty important week 1 game.

    Love Monday: Darnold debut, star power Rams, and the first step in the Raiders implosion.
     
  6. I think Jimmy G is going to take some steps backward this year.
     
  7. The Colts defense is expected to be terrible. But ... Marv and the Bungles? and the return of Andrew Luck? Come on?

    Nope. 19-0 to move to 26-0 for his career.

    They always play in the preseason because it's an easy trip but I don't recall it being the final week too often.

    Some wiseguys thought that "under" would be the play last week because neither team would show anything, so of course they combined to score 50-plus with the scrubs.

    Of course, it doesn't say what he couldn't wait for.
