Bengals over Texans in a close game (21-20)
Saints over Lions by a touchdown in a high scoring game (42-35)
Giants over Falcons in a high scoring game (35-30)
Steelers over Broncos in a low scoring game (14-6)
Celtics fan for life.

I only care about one team.  My NY Giants!

A few observations:

-Giants pass rush is starting to peak now that Osi, Tuck, and Pierre-Paul are all healthy.  NFC QB's need to be wary.

-Don't let the G-Men hang around.  Put them away early, if you can.  If Eli gets the ball late with a chance to win, he will eat your heart out.

-Also, the NFC seems wide open this year.  Basically, any team (other than Detroit) could get hot and make a run.  Should be fun.

This Lions-Saints game is turning into Tecmo Bowl.

I saw it at 59 and Detroit was +10.5 which I thought was a bit ridiculous.

Jimmy Graham is an absolute beast. 

He & Gronk are just so physically gifted for TEs.

Why can't the Lions advance that fumble? Seemed like possession wasn't established till Lion's had it in the open field -- would have been a touchdown.

Wow.  the explanation is a mistaken whistle stopped the play.  Should have been a Lion's touchdown.

Whistle was blown.
