Very Hyped for this year. But the 2 teams I follow may have some issues. My Saints going into their first year in forever with out Drew Brees While The Bengals have problems of their own. Number one they are the Bengals. Number 2 they have a QB who looks scared to even be on the field even in practice and their number one draft pick Chase has a bad case of I cant hold onto the ball.
Aside from all of that this I think will be an interesting and frustrating year because of covid and all of that mess. But I am looking forward to the season :)

My Phins are in an interesting division, Tua still has to prove himself and there are two rookie QBs with great expectations. Meanwhile Buffalo looks to stay a powerhouse with a true elite QB.
The other big question this season is still how COVID will effect the games, especially since their are players who defiantly, and stupidly remain unvaccinated.

I am looking forward to seeing what Buffalo does this season. There are a few teams I am looking at this season because I want to see how they preform. Like the Pats for instance.

Arizona prediction: I don't know what their record is gonna look like, but the scoreboard for both teams in their games is going to be going "TILT". They have the offensive weapons to put up points, and while they have a pass rush, they are going into the year looking like they're starting a guy best suited as a slot corner as their #1 CB, their #2 CB hasn't played in two years due to injuries, and #3 and #4 are rookies.
Thinking Larry Fitzgerald might be waiting to come back for one more game late in the year if they're eliminated from playoff contention to play once more in front of home fans, if at all.

Are we taking bets on the first team to have to forfeit because of the colossal stupidity of players who wouldn't know the definition of the word freedom if it bit them on the ass?

I’d put a few coins down on the Colts since Carson Wentz is unvaccinated and could end up being a one man superspreader.
Meanwhile, I have no idea what to expect from my Eagles. They’ve handed the keys to sophomore Jalen Hurts, he of just four starts last season and ten SNAPS this preseason. The front office made no secret they’re not married to Hurts, given their alleged flirtation with Deshaun Watson, followed by trading for “The Mustache” (a.k.a., Gardner Minshew). The coaching staff is young and greener than the grass at Lincoln Financial Field, beyond TE’s Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert, RB Miles Sanders, we’re thin at skill positions, the offensive line is aging and the defense doesn’t exactly scare anyone. At best, I have the Birds going no better than 7-10, and they might be lucky to manage that much.

Kansas City will have a harder time this season with loss of Sammy Watkins, a redone offensive line (2 rookies may end up starting on it) and as usual a suspect defense that makes you wonder if they can step up ?
The Raiders and Bronocs improved more and with this season the Raiders should by all rights have a shot at beating KC. A fact even their GM has said this season should be a playoffs year.

We know it won't be the Falcons as they are the first team & staff to be 100% vaccinated.
And Vegas is only carrying a prop bet on Wentz injuries not player's COVID status.
Might not be a good look to take bets on that.
My gut says it will be a team in Florida or Texas first ... Texans or Jags.

Tampa Bay is at 100% as well.

Players and staff? I hadn't heard about them yet.
Kinda sad that there are only 2 teams so far ...

It popped into my newsreel since I was following news of Brady last season. It was announced that the Bucs are not only at 100% for players and staff, but the presser words it in such a way as to imply there is no wordplay to claim 100% when it really isn't, which I would expect to happen at least once this season.

Apparently Tom Brady [url=https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/09/04/tom-brady-tested-positive-for-covid-in-february]tested positive for Covid back in February[/url].

Got an alert that Cowboys’ G Zach Martin, arguably their best offensive lineman was put on the team’s virus list, meaning he’ll be out for Thursday’s season opener against Tampa. After watching how the Bucs’ defense teed off on Kansas City’s depleted O-line in the Super Bowl, Dak Prescott could be in for a long night.

My friend and I did our picks for week 1. He and I did this last year. pick the winners of every game for each week. We get a point for calling it correct and at the end of the season who ever has the most points win. I won last year (The first year we did it)
I would love to do something like that here. But I guess it would be too late to set something like that up since the season starts Thrusday.
