    Default 2017 NFL Season Thread

    Team rosters just got shaved down to 53, and practice squad rosters are nearly set. We're three days from our Kickoff game, where the defending Champion New England Patriots take on the Kansas City Chiefs in a prime time Thursday match-up, so it seems like a good time to move away from our "Offseason Thread" to our "Regular Season" discussion thread.

    Thus, we can have about 80-odd hours to make some bold predictions. Who makes the playoffs? Who wins rookie of the year? What teams are gonna suck so hard that it looks like they're tanking for a shot at a top QB coming out of college?

    Get hyped, listen to your NFL Films soundtrack courtesy of the legendary Sam Spence, because it's about to get real.

    Gonna throw out my Super Bowl prediction early in the thread.

    Pittsburgh defeats Atlanta. Here it is folks! I said it!




    (Doesn't matter that I'm a Steelers fan and I have Matt Ryan on my fantasy team, why would that influence my honest opinion)

    All this action going on between the Browns and Steelers before week 1. First Pittsburgh signs Joe Haden (not traded but released), then Pittsburgh trades Sammie Coats (a very talented but frustrating player) for a sixth round pick. Just seems odd to me. I don't remember any trades at all with Cleveland in the past.

    How about another Pittsburgh/Dallas Superbowl? The Steelers would have to get past New England though... doesn't seem like that's happening any time soon...

    Funny thing though, Dak Prescott would beat out Tom Brady to become the second youngest QB ever to win a Superbowl if he won it this year.

    I would be fine with this scenario too

    To my wife and kids, see you in February, be good.

    Let's, GO, COLTS. And by GO I hope it's not to the tune of 6-10 but I have my doubts.

    I'm predicting Dallas to make it to the Superbowl to face an as yet unspecified AFC opponent per my prediction.

    Strong Pick:
    Seahawks d. Patriots

    Weak Pick:
    Cowboys d. Steelers

    Dark Horse:
    Raiders d. Packers

    I think those are the only Super Bowl ready teams. If any of those 6 are in against anyone that is not in those 6 ... I expect a blowout. Those 6 will produce a good game.
