Not sure i can play anything till 4 or 5 games in this time NigelRG NigelRG . Going to be a weird season with plenty of shock results I think.
 
Tampa for the NFC @ 15/2?
Having a small dabble with chance of cash out later. Tampa v Saints is game of the first week for me. Let's see what brady can do without having the entire franchise built around him.
 
I watched the first and last game on Sky last night, this morning.

As someone mentioned, above, I agree, there will indeed be some interesting results this season. There has been no preseason to speak of, so no basis to form, an informed opinion.

I played varsity high school football when I attended an American military school, so have a vague idea of the basics. I follow the college games and keep an eye on the CFL. The CFL won't play this year, as they normally play in the summer. All the CFL players have an opt out clause out of their contracts. The NFL teams have had the chance to snap up CFL players!

During the lock down, I watched the draft. More than a few trades didn't make any sense to me. Couple that with, many, NFL players opting out of the season entirely. So, I believe, we may be seeing some new stars in the NFL this season.

I think we are in for a very interesting season.

Indeed, watched a couple of games yesterday. Tampa will get better as the season goes on, but they were soundly beaten yesterday.
I normally wait till the season is 4 games deep before starting to bet .. it should not take them too long to get into stride, pre-season games tend to be used to work out the roster and which players to include in the squads, they did not have that this year, but after a few games things will be settled and results will become more uniformed.
 
Last night I was channel flicking between the Golf, football and the NFL games. What a great evenings entertainment.

Last week a number of people on this thread agreed that with no pre-season, players sitting out the season, a topsy turvy draft, not to mention the CFL players all have opt outs, we would be in for an interesting season.

Over the three games that were shown and the Red Zone, I lost count of the number of times I heard the phrase, after a great play, "a rookie out of"

It makes me wonder if a number of the players sitting out the season will struggle to get back into their team?
 
There are approx 1800 nfl players in the league at any one time, only 66 of them opted out of playing this year. There are always a bunch of rookies each year. An average of 250 players are drafted by the teams each year. The commentators tend to highlight them on purpose.

Maybe, I should have said a lot of the rookies are shining much earlier in their career, this season, than in past NFL seasons.
