Meh.

You might not like this but it's the smart thing to do. Saleh's in a no win situation starting Wilson. If he goes out injured, and reinjures it, he's crucified. If Wilson goes out and plays terrible the "well he wasn't 100%" excuse which begs the question "why the Hell did you put him out there?"

I think it’s plausible both teams make the playoffs. Even likely that the Colts do. But I can’t see them then winning several playoff games. I think they’d both be first round exits. 

I expect the Colts to win that division outright. Not overly impressed with the Titans. Henry has a helluva lot of tread on those tires and will Tannehill be shell shocked from his playoff meltdown? Colts had a better overall roster last year but were missing the QB. Matty Ice should have enough left to win them the division.

I'm not necessarily upset he's not starting week 1. I just have no interest in watching Joe Flacco out there. What is annoying is that yesterday he was saying Zach might start and today it's he won't start until week 4 at the earliest.

Yeah, I heard that about him potentially starting and I feel ya. I have not interest in watching Jacoby Brisket lead the Browns either. TBH, I'd have a lot more confidence if the Browns had kept Case Keenum.

Looks reasonable…I’m not in on the Eagles like that. Dolphins not getting the love but I don’t disagree. I suppose I’m the only person that sees the Browns having a good season.

The Saints at #6….??

Hopes:

Dolphins over everybody.

Baker dominates and the panthers win the division

predictions:

Texans already have their franchise QB and they find out for sure this season.

Steelers are not that bad, but will have a brutal record - top 10 pick

Broncos are not as good as people think

Bears are picking first in the draft next year

Packers over Chargers in the superbowl

Observations:

I love Dan Campbell and this was my favorite hard knocks yet.

I like some of these especially David Mills

Chicago is bad but so is Atlanta and Seattle. I think Seahawks get the first pick. I also think Packers drop off.

Hate GB being that high. I think Eagles all comes down to Hurts. This will be the season we find out if he’s for real. 

Rams 33

Bills 31

That Bills TD play was nice. 

I'm going to say Bills 38, Rams 17.

Refreshing

Damn, that's an unlucky INT. 

Hell of a stiff-arm from Allen. Dude's a lot of fun to watch.

Every time Stafford draws back to throw a deep pass I assume he’s throwing to a wide open Kupp, and I’ve been right every time.

Rams offense might be in some trouble this season.

I forgot Allen Robinson was on the Rams and apparently they did too? One reception for 12 yards 

If Kupp gets hurt Rams are done

Kupp is insane.

Got the differential right.
