The only good reason for you to live has finally returned!

Most of us know how this works, some may not. Every week I will post up the League Schedule. You pick a winner. Get it right, you get a point. One game per week, usually the MNF game, will require a score as a weekly tiebreaker. I will add them all up each week and at the end of the season we will have a winner.

I won't go into Upset Specials yet, because we usually wait until Week 2 to start using them anyway.

Comments are encouraged. Any questions, please ask.

Thursday, September 10th
Tennessee @ Pittsburgh  Nate Washington may be out and if Pittsburgh has no passing game, then Tennessee will win

Sunday, September 13th
Miami @ Atlanta  Matt Ryan continues to improve and the defense does a good job as well

Kansas City @ Baltimore  My team is like the red-headed stepchild this season.  Everyone will beat them badly.

Philadelphia @ Carolina  Philly tries to repeat their success from last year.

Jacksonville @ Indianapolis  Jacksonville won't be a pushover this year but Indy is too good.

Dallas @ Tampa Bay  Dallas wins but will miss the playoffs again this year

Detroit @ New Orleans  Detroit will lose again and be 0-17

NY Jets @ Houston  Houston will make it above .500 this year and it starts now.

Minnesota @ Cleveland  Minnesota will wish that Tavaris was their QB and not that old dude.

Denver @ Cincinnati  Cincy gets back to their winning ways with a new Chad, a new Carson and hopefully a new defense.

San Francisco @ Arizona  'Zona begins their NFC title defense

Washington @ NY Giants  Eli plays well and the defense is back to their Super Bowl quality.

St Louis @ Seattle  It's an odd year so Hasselbeck has a great year.

Chicago @ Green Bay  Jay Cutler gets embarrassed and Rodgers shows why the Packers chose him over that old dude.

Monday, September 14th
Buffalo @ New England  TO gets no TDs and the meltdown commences this week.

San Diego @ Oakland  Even though Merriman felt like he needed to choke a hitch, they can still beat the Raiders

SD: 28 OAK:10

For those that don't know, I do the Power Rankings for the union and they will be up early next week, most likely on Tuesday.

Dallas @ Tampa Bay: All depends on how good our secondary plays, i think we can stop their run but the pass is another story. also i have no respect for their D and dont even see it as a threatRyder004

That's Ryder. You must learn to realize he only watches the Bucs on this website where it shows your team in Madden owning other madden teams.

Depends on what it looks like. I would prefer you stick to order the games are listed, as it makes it easier on me to count it all up.

Thursday, September 10th
Tennessee @ Pittsburgh - Big Ben will likely be playing with a chip on his shoulder, big stats!

Sunday, September 13th
Miami @ Atlanta - With Gonzalez in the TE spot, the dirty birds are gonna be dangerous
Kansas City @ Baltimore - no Cassell and plenty of Flacco
Philadelphia @ Carolina - Phily needs to make a BIG statement coming out the gates, this is a golden chance
Jacksonville @ Indianapolis - Manning has plenty of targets and I doubt the Jax D will hold'em
Dallas @ Tampa Bay - If the Bucs can play some good D they could win... which I doubt
Detroit @ New Orleans - Not the best way to start the season for Det
NY Jets @ Houston - This game could go either way...
Minnesota @ Cleveland - Everyone thinks this will be an easy win... it's gonna be a fight
Denver @ Cincinnati - I got faith in Palmer... hopefully he stays healthy
San Francisco @ Arizona - If the Cards play lackluster, they could easily lose this one at home
Washington @ NY Giants - I really like Campbell from the Skins, but G-men defense is scary business
St Louis @ Seattle - If the running game can't be stopped, this could be ugly
Chicago @ Green Bay - I'm curious about Cutler, but that new Pack defense might catch him off guard

Monday, September 14th
Buffalo @ New England - If they were not at home, this would go the other way
San Diego @ Oakland - The Raiders might not be able to handle Rivers and company... bummer
SD: 28 OAK: 13

Tennessee @ Pittsburgh - Because I already won last year by picking the Steelers and I hated myself for 3 months.

Thursday, September 10th
Tennessee @ Pittsburgh- I hate 'em, I hate my life, but they're at home and they'll most likely win. Oh and HT, you waste, Nate Washington is on the Titans so wtf does he have to do with Pitt.'s passing game? It'll be garbage regardless. No wonder your rankings blow.

Sunday, September 13th
Miami @ Atlanta- I have too many home teams winning and this looks like a good road team to pick.
Kansas City @ Baltimore-Chiefs blow.
Philadelphia @ Carolina- Tough game to call, but I think Philly is overhyped much like Dallas was last year.
Jacksonville @ Indianapolis- They still have Manning and their at home, so I gotta take the Colts.
Dallas @ Tampa Bay-Ryder and his team both lick sacks.
Detroit @ New Orleans- I will ROFL if the Lions win.
NY Jets @ Houston- Not confident, but the Texans are at home.
Minnesota @ Cleveland- Peterson>the entire city of Cleveland
Denver @ Cincinnati- Denver doesn't have the firepower to keep up.
San Francisco @ Arizona- Does Fitz get hit with the curse? AZ wins regardless.
Washington @ NY Giants- Jacobs>Landry
St Louis @ Seattle- Seacocks take back that division and of course beat the lowly Rams.
Chicago @ Green Bay- Goin with the home team.

Monday, September 14th
Buffalo @ New England- Brady lights it up all day, or night actually.
San Diego @ Oakland- Al Davis smells like s***.

Tennessee @ Pittsburgh - As a Browns fan with Pittsburgh fan friends. Each NFL season is a bitter thing.

Sunday, September 13th
Miami @ Atlanta - Matt Ryan, very good. Atlanta's pass defence, gawd awful.
Kansas City @ Baltimore -Kansas City is a joke. They make my Browns look like a playoff team in comparison.
Philadelphia @ Carolina - This Eagles team could very good. Mike Vick is not a good addition.
Jacksonville @ Indianapolis - I like the city of Indianapolis. But only for the Indy 500.
Dallas @ Tampa Bay - Im going to miss K2. He'll never be the player he could have been. But love the passion....on the field.
Detroit @ New Orleans - If the Saints dont put 50 on Detroit, well, i'll lose this week in fantasy.
NY Jets @ Houston - Houston, please put it all together this year. I want to see that offense on overdrive.
Minnesota @ Cleveland - The Brady Quinn era starts 3 years too late! Oh well. SB here we come!
Denver @ Cincinnati - Worst game of the week? Worst game of the week.
San Francisco @ Arizona - SB loser slump gets broken by the Cards? In that division, yes.
Washington @ NY Giants - I really wanted the Browns to draft Justin Tuck a few years ago...I got one right. (for the record, I really wanted them to draft James Davis. So lets see how this goes.
St Louis @ Seattle - No chance for St Louis this year. Much like last year. And next year. And the year after that.
Chicago @ Green Bay - Two gunslinger QBs. But only one is any good. Can you guess which?

Monday, September 14th
Buffalo @ New England - Buffalo is terrible. Wish the Browns got to face them twice a year instead of the Steelers or Ravens.
San Diego @ Oakland - As bad as the Lions were last year. Oakland is the flagship franchise for dysfunction. Unlike the Lions though, they aren't boring. Terrible draft picks, nonsense trades and coaches getting into fist fights. If you cant put a quality product on the field, might as well make headlines off of it.
SD: 44 OAK: 13

Oh. And. I may or may not be back from my year long hiatus. Hi all.

Thursday, September 10th
Tennessee @ Pittsburgh Score will be a little closer than the game would lead you to believe. Steelers by less than 10, but they control the whole game.

Sunday, September 13th
Miami @ Atlanta Should be a good game.
Kansas City @ BaltimoreChiefs have issues.
Philadelphia @ CarolinaAnother great game.
Jacksonville @ IndianapolisJags don't have the firepower.
Dallas @ Tampa Bay Cowboys won last year with half the roster injured.
Detroit @ New OrleansLosing streak keeps going.
NY Jets @ HoustonRookie QB's first game.
Minnesota @ Cleveland Run that ball, run it!
Denver @ CincinnatiInteresting. Cincy starts up a glimmer of hope.
San Francisco @ ArizonaIn AZ, so I'll go Cards.
Washington @ NY Giants Something is pulling me towards the Skins.
St Louis @ SeattleDoes Qwest still help win games?
Chicago @ Green BayLot of great matchups to start the season. I think the Packers are just stronger.

Monday, September 14th
Buffalo @ New EnglandNo reason to think otherwise, unless the unspeakable...
San Diego @ Oakland I expect Tomlinson to have a big game.
