@SKT You and me both. For any team it’s a huge deal to beat the Super Bowl Champs in their home opener,and then you get a very happy 10 days off to prepare for week 2. Detroit was playing really great at the end of last season.

Detroit is the favorite to win the NFC North 🫣 It would be a huge “we’re here” moment to open the season beating KC.

[Jett129]

@october-rust Absolutely

[Matt]

It’s the Lions guys. C’mon now.

@Matt Chiefs are only a 6.5 favorite,with 3 points allowed for home field advantage,the odds makers think the Chiefs are a little bit better than a field goal to beat the Lions, who haven’t won their first game of the season since 2017. You know me and @SKT will be rooting for you guys.

Blah blah blah it’s still just the lions. Stats are math and math can suck it. Just like the lions will.

Btw, I love this thread and can’t wait to start bashing the Bengals.

[Matt]

Let’s start now…

@Alex im really hyped to see how your guy Joe Burrow looks this year. I found this dope picture of him…

[Jett129]

@Matt That’s what I’m talking about!

[flannel slut]

Shit. That one is pretty tough to unsee

[Oaktavia]

@Matt hahahahahaha

If just half of this is true, it is so insanely fucked up...

But then, I'm a Brit and there is a lot that mystifies me about Murica.....

[Jett129]

@Giles I’m not the least bit surprised,and would think this is only the tip of the perverbial iceberg.

[Giles]

I've lost almost complete interest in F1 (and I come from a family of people who raced cars seriously, albeit amateur) since the Liberty Media takeover. Yes it was fucked up too under Bernie and Max, but now (as I am sure I have said here before) it seems to be about entertainment first and foremost and sport as an incidental second.

Not long ago, my weekends would completely revolve around watching quali and the race. Last weekend I did not even know there was a race on, let alone Monza...

Sad, but true.

@Giles And on another note last year the NFL Commissioner(Roger Godell)announced that the NFL was well on its way to making their goal to be earning 25 Billion a year. And people think that they care about the outcome of the games. Why none of this surprises me.

Kelce is questionable tomorrow, could spoil the week for a lot of you guys

Won’t spoil mine

[Jett129]

@october-rust All the late money is going on The Lions because of Kelce and the fact that Chris Jones,their best defensive player, is holding out. Chiefs went from 6.5 to 5.5 point favorites.One point may not sound like a lot, but it takes a significant amount of action to move the line 1 point. The worst case scenario,for the bookies, is that The Chiefs win by 6. This way people who took the Chiefs -5.5 can collect,and the people who took The Lions +6.5 will be holding winning tickets.

@Alex They'll wait until the end of the season to spoil your week.
