Making a fun thread, see who may get it right hours before release.

I'm taking home vs Atlanta.

By process of elimination, it won't be the Chiefs, Ravens, 49ers, Eagles, or Cowboys.

Shot in the dark, let's go Raiders.

They love giving us the Cowboys to open up.

If not an Eagles rematch is my bet.

Falcons are apparently playing Pittsburgh on opening day. I’m guessing we get Carolina or random AFC matchup.

Division opponent seems like a good bet. I'll go with the Panthers.

I believe it has been announced that Cowboys v Browns is the week one, FOX big afternoon game. Brady's first as commentator.

Given the leaks today, assuming the Falcon's leak is true, I am now guessing it will be the Lions.

Based on current leaks, the following are out as openers:
Falcons
Eagles
Niners
Cowboys
Lions
Broncos
Chiefs
Ravens
Giants

Easy guess is Carolina or New Orleans. I’ll go Carolina since they took Canales.

You must be an old timer and a long time Bucs fan. You seem to get how the schedule makers like to fuck with us by giving us bottom of the barrel snoozefest matchups to open the season. This game will be a guaranteed media blackout.

A year old than the Bucs to be exact. But yeah, Washington seems like the perfect choice for the NFL. I think when the schedule comes out, the Bucs, Falcons, and Saints all play winnable games where we should all be 1-0. This is a weak, yet competitive division and the better our records are early, the more compelling our matchups will be for prime time games. I think all 3 of us have 2 prime time games in the first 6 or 7 weeks of the season, and only the Falcons have 2 in the second half. The Saints and Bucs will only get 1where I expect it to be against each other, in like early-mid December.

Daniels' debut will be a hot ticket.

I'll take a wild guess that you think the 3 wins by TB would be Washington, Denver and one of the games against Atlanta.

I think anything from 2-8 to 5-5 is possible.

I know you're probably joking, but if there were even the slightest remote possibility that Trask could get a shot, we wouldn't have extended Baker.

LOL, I don't. We're neither that good or that bad. It would take a miracle for those to happen. I think the most realistic scenario is 3 or 4 wins.

I'd take the over on that bet.

I think 4 is quite possible, I think 5 is wishful thinking. If the o/u line was 3.5, I'd probably take the over... but definitely taking the under if it were 4.5.
