Who to pull for: week one edition

[bigdog10]

Yeah we lost, yeah it sucks, no we're not a bad team, yes we will be in the thick of things the entire year. 

The purpose of this thread is to give you and idea on who you need to be rooting for tomorrow. 

Let's start with the easy ones (AFC vs NFC)

Jaguars over Packers

Raiders over Saints

Browns over Eagles

Titans over Vikings

Dolphins over Seahawks

Texans over Bears

Colts over Lions

Steelers over Skins

Patriots over Cardinals

the Falcons Bucs game is up to you but I'll be pulling for the Falcons.  I would rather not see the Bucs get a road division win as I believe they are the main threat to the division this year 

Cowboys vs Giants:  your call.  I'll go with the Cowboys just because I don't like seeing teams get road wins

take your pick in the Rams niners game.  I'll pull for the niners in an OT physical game  

AFC vs AFC games have little impact.  Cheifs- Chargers game will have some impact in strength of schedule but they play each other so it is kind of irrelevant  

If everything went our way, you would be looking at NFC standings like this:

Niners, Falcons and Cowboys at 1-0

Panthers, Bears, Vikings, Lions, Saints, Packers, Cardinals, Seahawks, Redskins, and Eagles at 0-1 with a nonconference loss

Bucs, Giants, and Rams at 0-1 with a conference loss

I'm pulling for Tampa. I think atl is the bigger threat. I agree that I will go for Dallas as I think nugget are better team.

personally pulling for rg3 bc i believe the redskins incompetent coaches rushed him back far too soon and really screwed up his career. Oh, and the browns bc of flash gordon and bc they're the browns

I'm pulling for Tampa as well. I can't stand the thought of Atlanta or New Orleans holding even a 1 game lead in the division. I don't hate tampa.

Josh Norman gets A Brown this week. I am interested in how that turns out. Pretty tough matchup for him week 1.

Pulling for Tampa. Living here in ATL, I don't want to go through a week hearing there fans continue to boast how this is there year and to expect the panthers to come down to earth. Deflate that fanbase, and deflate them early. Of course, Oakland over NO and any AFC team over an NFC team. Don't care about the other games, but do have a slight interest in the Redskins game. Honestly, I'm just ready for next week already. Hate carrying an L through the week.

Considering ATL was our only loss last year I'm pulling for Bucs no two ways about it.

Pulling for Chargers (friends) but I have really low expectations for those dudes.

Skins will be interesting and I wanna see what all the Sterling Sharpe fuss is about.

Otherwise, standard protocol, afc > nfc so on and so forth.

[Steves89]

I'm pulling for whoever's playing the Broncos.

[The Lone Panther]

Pulling for everyone in the NFC South to lose.

I'm sort of pulling for the Redskins this week. I'd like to see Norman have a decent game, maybe get burned once. 

You know, like a family member. You want to see them do good, just not, real good.

Can the Bucs and Falcons have a 0-0 tie?

I honestly didn't know they were even playing each other.

Who to cheer for? I'm getting a Raiders tattoo as we speak. It's their year dammit, finally their Twitter account can claim they're going to the playoffs

No one because I hate every team not named Carolina Panthers.
