In my company's office pool I am getting 6.5 with the Lions. I took Detroit. Without Jones I think the Lions will be able to move the ball and score enough to keep it within a TD. I wouldn't be surprised if they win outright especially if Kelce can't go.

The Bengals should be favored to win the North, but they are going to have the hands full with the other teams. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if the Ravens win the division. If Pickett shows he is the real deal, then the Steelers are in the mix for the North as well.

For those tailgating. It's still 5 days out but Monday's forecast for East Rutherford, NJ

Still 5 days out but Monday's East Rutherford, NJ weather.

Anyone see the season preview on the NFLN last night. They all had the Bills winning the east. Most had the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl. Kurt Warner had the Eagles over the Bengals. Cynthia Frelund still loves us. She picked the Bills over the Seahawks.

O - Kincaid. I think he will have a good debut. D - Tre. Keeps the Grandpa to Wilson connection in check.

East - Bills North - Bengals South - Jaguars West - Chiefs WC - Jets, Chargers, Ravens East - Eagles North - Lions South - Falcons West - Niners WC - Seahawks, Giants (I think the Cowboys miss) Vikings.

One that I forgot to mention. What about Rudy. The whole movie takes place in the fall with his dream to go to Notre Dame and play a game for them.

No, it doesn't but you can be sure Collingsworth will be gushing about him the entire night.

Now I wish the Bills were playing the Chiefs week one.

Even so Chris Jones won't. That is a huge break for the Lions who can score. I took the Lions in my company's pool getting 6.5. But I think the Lions can win this game straight up.

Both teams asked for a downpayment on PSL fees a year before MetLife opened. If the Bills stadium opens in 2026 then they will do the same. If they don't ask for a downpayment in 2024 then 2025 for sure.

Virtual tours? When MetLife was being built and it was deemed safe to enter. Both Jets and Giants season ticket holders were allowed to enter the stadium and take a tour of the place. Gave fans a "real look" not a virtual one of what the stadium looks like and where they want to purchase their new seats.

Also, Rodgers is 39 and can't really escape the rush. Allen can with his running.

Lots of Bills fans show up at MetLife. The last 2 years it was almost a 50-50 split. I don't think the Bills will have that many fans this year. Weekday game (Monday night) plus this is the most highly anticipated opener for the Jets in a long time. Jets fans will show up for this game. As for the rowdiness of the crowd. MetLife took care of that with raised ticket prices and PSL fees. Crowd is not as crazy as it used to be at Giants Stadium or Shea.

If the Jones holdout can cost them some games so they don't get the #1 seed, then great. Tired of seeing every Chiefs playoff game at Arrowhead.

The Lions have a good offense. Hopefully they can go in there and make KC 0-1.

He has his rings now he wants to be paid. Totally understandable. If he misses time and it costs the Chiefs some games, then great. Maybe they won't get the #1 seed this year. Winning the division will hard this year as well. Chargers can definitely challenge them. If Wilson rebounds, then so can the Broncos.

Especially on a weekday. Took off work Mon/Tues. Going to get to the stadium by 3:30 - 4:00. Lots open 5 hours before kickoff. Don't want to be on Rt 17 near rush hour. Traffic can be a pain in the ass then.
