Works for me. Really didn't want to start on the road at Minny again.

Thank Jesus.

We lucked out only traveling to Minny for our games with division winners. Eagles and Rams at home is huge.

I agree. The Dome is going to be insane this year. I'm sure we'll have a number of primetime slots as well.

I am 100% sure our Minn game will be a primetime game after it ended the way it did

Happy to hear one of our main competition will be 0-1 to start the season!

Cousins vs Wentz would be one of the best opening games in awhile, assuming Wentz will be ready week 1.

Agreed. I don't see how he could be ready week 1, but to the Iggles beating Minny

Honestly I don't know who to root for in that one. Probably Eagles just because screw Minny, but that early on hard to hell who will go on a roll.

Thankfully the NFC North has gotten tougher it seems. Maybe Dallas will bounce back and hand the Eagles a loss at least.

I think it's gonna be Philly, Minny, LA, and us all racing for one of the top 2 seeds. Our division will probably get at least one more in again.

Rarely (perhaps never?) is it the same 4 division winners two years in a row. Hell I think even 3 division winners repeating is pretty damn rare, if not at least pretty uncommon.

Odds are two of the division winners won't repeat.

I'd say it's a toss-up between LA and SEA for the West.
GB and Minny in the North.
PHI will have their hands full this season with the East I think. They're still the most complete team in that division though.

It's between us and ATL in the South. Hopefully they're still dysfunctional on offense next season. I'm not worried about what Drew and Co can do.

Absolutely STUNNED it's not the Cowboys.

But then again, there's a law that Giants/Cowboys has to be the first SNF game.

Seattle is blowing it up and starting over. I think they finish 3rd in the West behind LA and San Fran

Wut? Defending champs typically start the season. There are anomalies, but this is typically the case. Cowboys ain't won shite in 23 years.

This is absolutely true. They'll have at least 3 SNF games.

They're getting rid of older players and big contracts, but they still have Wilson (we all know he's really good) and that defense is still formidable. IDK that SF has done enough to warrant consideration for division winner. I know they had a nice ending to the season, but let's not act like they beat Philly and Minny each week.

49ers 15 Bears 14 (JG's first start. Bears suck.)

49ers 26 Texans 16 (Texans weren't good, but road win nonetheless)

Titans 23 49ers 25 (Win against playoff team. Can't knock it)

Jags 33 49ers 44 (Jags had division locked up, but still impressive)

49ers 34 Rams 13 (Rams took the day off)

I will have to change my mock schedules accordingly.

Thanks for the heads up!

Seattle is rebuilding their entire defense. Will possibly have 6 or more new starters. They will finish around .500

Look out for SF. If they draft well & JG doesn't take any steps back, that team could win 8-10 games. They'll be a surprise playoff team.

Every season the NFC has at least 2-3 new teams making the playoffs.
Right now CAR is the only team that doesn't look to be capable of making the playoffs next season. That leaves at least 1 more team not making it.

Honestly, Eagles and Cikings lost their OCs and it will especially hurt the Vikings with Zimmer being a defensive guy.

Look at the huge drop in The Falcons’ offense last year after losing Shannahan. Don’tundetestimate the value those guys bring.

That’s why I think people acting like the Eagles and Vikes are automatic next years I win their divisions are being a bit sinplistic in their analysis.

I think that the Saints get at least one each of the Sunday, Monday and Thursday night games. Maybe a late season Saturday game.
