Gonna be a Jacksonville and Dallas homer this weekend and pick both to win in upsets. I have no idea if the Jaguars can finally climb back to 6-8 wins this year, which seems almost too much to hope for.

Sorry. Needed to get that out.

Hot take, rcade: AFC South finishes Indy, then Jacksonville, Tennessee, and last but not least, Houston. Think the Jags take a leap.

Sunday post-game note: Joe Judge and Matt Patricia not allowed on the Patriots team plane for the flight back to Boston after the Dolphins game.

I would accept that scenario as long as Jacksonville still gets to beat Indy at the Bank.

Diving into the pond with my eyes closed (but holding my nose). I know that there are rocks, and I know that I will sooner or later break my neck, but on we go.

I can't believe no one else has mentioned (or maybe no one noticed) that in the link the teams are reversed. It shows the home team first and the visitor second (with an @ before the wrong team). For instance, it says Rams @ Bills when the game is in LA.

I assume I'm going to have a rough start to the season. I can give you a pretty decent summary of what's happened in the (more batshit than usual) NBA off-season but have paid little to no attention to the goings on in the NFL.

But thanks for alerting me they start this weekend Rogers!

I always get murdered on week 1. Probably shouldn't lock anything.

Last year was my tenth year of tracking picks. I've batted .642 on straight picks and .510 against the spread. Last year's numbers, .620 straight and .519 against the spread. I've also done a lot better on playoff games than regular season, .689 straight and .543 against the spread
