I saw a couple of different media guys commenting that they did not like the vibe coming out of the Chiefs this offseason and through camp. As long as Mahomes and Reid are there they'll be dangerous, but I wonder if this is the year they are knocked off their perch in the AFC West - and we are primed to do it.
But anyway, Veach & Reid were pretty terrible the first few years after John Dorsey left but after the '20 superbowl they hit on an uncommon string of winners. In '21 they completely overhauled their Oline in one offseason. Rebuilding an Oline is normally a 3 year project but they did it in 1 offseason & every move they made worked out perfectly. Creed Humphrey at center, Thuney at left guard, and Orlando Brown at left tackle. Then last year instead of making a deal with Tyreek Hill they traded him. Andy's brilliant offensive design & Mahomes ability made that deal work. Now this year they're basically trying to repeat what they did in '21 & '22. They ran both their offensive tackles out of town & replaced them with free agents. They let Ju-Ju Smith Schuster leave and now their top receiver is an oft injured gadget player in Kadarius Toney. Kelce is about to be 34. Then they have this deal with Chris Jones going on and sounds like they might end up running him out of town too.
Maybe it all works out, but history suggests otherwise.

I don't think the Cowboys have won a Super Bowl since 1996, which wouldn't be much in the "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" department. All the Cowboys have is grandad's bragging rights, nothing very current at all.

Dude made a killing as a backup QB over his career … good on him. America baby!“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

HOLY EFFING SHIT!!!!! I can't handle it anymore. It's too much. I have never seen this much slobbering over a team in my life!
ESPN does nothing but talk about the Jets. GMFB Jets. National storylines from various outlets. Jets.
I can't handle it. There really isn't any other storylines? Jets are superbowl locks according to all the talking heads.
BTW our Chargers are getting zero run. Matter of fact all of GMFB all picked the Chargers to miss the playoff. Wow.

These are my Week 1 predictions. Straight up winner/loser, no spread. The asterisk denotes where I pick against the oddsmakers.
THURS
Chiefs over the Lions. (I wish I could pick the Lions with Chris Jones out but I realistically can't, Though I do think the Lions will make a game of it and there's always a chance they win. I just can't pick them to win.)
SUN
Falcons over the Panthers
Ravens over the Texans
Bengals over the Browns (I'm a bit unsure about this one.)
Jaguars over the Colts
Vikings over the Buccaneers
Saints over the Titans
*Steelers over the 49ers (That should raise some eyebrows.)
Commanders over the Cardinals
*Packers over the Bears (This one is a mystery to be honest.)
*Raiders over the Broncos (Nobody is expecting this but me.)
Chargers over the Dolphins
Eagles over the Patriots
Seahawks over the Rams
*Giants over the Cowboys
MON
Bills over the Jets
You know there are going to be a couple of wins and losses that nobody saw coming. There always is.
I think everybody is overlooking the Raiders. I don't think they will be a playoff team, but I don't think they will be one of the worst teams in the conference like everybody seems to be picking them to be. They have Jacobs under contract and I think Garoppolo will be better than expected paired with McDaniels. And they still have Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow. They drafted TE Michael Mayer and WR Tre Tucker. Defensively they still have issues, Tillery is listed as a starter. But their 1st pick was maybe the best pass rusher in the draft, Tyree Wilson. The Broncos on the other hand still have the look of a team of dysfunction. We'll see.
Without Nick Bosa I think the 49ers are going to struggle. I'm also not completely sold on Brock Purdy. He struggled against teams with relentless pass rushes in the playoffs, and the Steelers have TJ Watt. I tend to think Purdy will fall back down to earth this season and be average to mediocre, reminding the league why he was a 7th rnd draft pick.
I don't know why I like the Giants over the Cowboys, I just do. I think Daboll is a better coach than McCarthy. Will Dak struggle without Kellen Moore?
Same with the Packers over the Bears, I don't have an explainable reason for picking Green Bay, maybe, again, it's because I like GB's coach better.
I look forward to MNF, my feeling is Rodgers is going to struggle in NY. He is pushing 40.
