Packers should handle them. Saints D is a sieve.

Different story from last year in that the Pack should be 100% healthy.

Saints 38

Packers score late to make it somewhat respectable.

I'm not sure who's going to win this one. I'm leaning towards the Saints bc I think the Packers could have a SB hangover.

I feel special. Look what I got in my e-mail...:p
To NFL Fans:

This may be the first week of the regular season, but it has the feel of a Super Bowl week for the NFL. One of the reasons is that we will unite with the rest of the nation on Sunday to reflect on the anniversary of 9/11 and honor the spirit of America.
All of us in the NFL appreciate your patience and understanding through what was a most unusual and challenging off-season. Now we are ready to enjoy what the NFL is all about -- great players, great fans, intense competition, the performance and passion surrounding America's most popular game.
Thanks to the hard work of our players, club owners, teams, and staff, the NFL's pledge to deliver great football to our fans has been strengthened and is more secure than ever. We start the regular season and the race to Super Bowl XLVI with tremendous anticipation and momentum.
We want you most of all to sit back and enjoy it – in our stadiums, on television, and wherever else you connect with the NFL. Football fans enjoying football is what we love.
Be assured, however, that we believe in better. Players, owners, coaches, team and league staff – working together -- will be putting our collective foot on the accelerator. We have more work to do to improve our league and game on a variety of fronts. We will do that by continuing to focus on the quality of the game and innovation. And we will do it relentlessly.
On behalf of everyone in the NFL, thank you for your incredible support, and thank you especially for sharing your views with us. Please keep it coming. We value your opinion because it helps make us better. The passion of our fans and communities is what makes the NFL so special.
Thank you again. Let's get it started.
Roger Goodell

The returning SB champs are undefeated in this game. 8-0 I believe.

What about the other 37? Why you chose 8 as the cut off?

Assuming because the past 8 have been this circus on Thursday night, and the other 37 were on a "normal" game day.

That said, driving home the 8-0 point isn't relevant to this year's game IMO.

The last time the Super Bowl Champs lost week 1 was in 1999. The team was the Denver Broncos. They got beat 38-21 by the Miami Dolphins.

I think the Saints D will be improved. They were, I believe, 4th in pass defense last year, and they added some pieces that could sure up the run defense.

I look for it to be a high scoring game. Something like 35 to 24 or 28.

Just remembered Obama has a prime-time speech tonight. PLEASE tell me he's not doing it during the game? (Are my priorities screwed up? Probably)
