"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

"Behind that offensive line i think elliot is going to be an absolute star from week 1, could be the rushing leader this year! The one thing most rookie running backs struggle with is pass catching and blocking and he seems to be very good at both already"

Well if you listen to the NFL hype machine. It's going to be a walk in the park for the Cowboys. But as we both know Miike. The wheels will come off by week 5. And there is always the Draft next April. They are the gift. That keeps on giving. Bit like Spurs. The only team to finnish 3rd. In a 2 horse race.!

"..........and I think Sean Lee got another bad injury. once they start picking up knocks like him and Romo, it's downhill from there. not sure they'll be many London Fletchers seen again who play over 250 consecutive games"

"haha, if Elliott doesn't work out at RB it could be a long year for Jerry's boys. sadly I think he's very good but can he carry their offense?"

But like you said. They are fun to watch. And any team from Texas that has bragging rights over Jerry Jones and his band of Cheerleaders. Are alright by me.

"Well the AFC South there for the taking. Both the Jags and the Titans are a work in progress. And if Luck ain't carrying the Colts. Then Indy are struggling. But they have a tough season. OK they start with the Bears. But they then got the Chiefs, Pats and then the Vikings in week 5. Go to Mexico to play Oakland. They also have the Broncos goto Green Bay and have Cincinnati at the fag end of the season. That's a tough season. Even for one with J.J Watt in there D."

the team I've enjoyed watching in pre-season is the Texans. they've looked good and Osweiler's linking up well with Hopkins and the other receivers

"Eith the steelers missing bryant all year the offense is very different i do think the patriots are the clear favourite in the AFC, but if garrapolo puts them in a hole early it could make all the difference to seeding and home field advantage which is always big! In the NFC it is far more competative with the cardinals seahawks, panthers and packers all legitimate contenders, i would of put the vikings almost in that category before teddy went down as they have a amazing roster, if bradford can finally find some form they will be in contention. Packers have an easy schedule so im going for them to get homefield and make the superbowl where they lose to the patriots (shock)"

Starter. Rashad Jennings 2nd. Andre Williams. 3rd. Shane Vereen. 4th. Orleans Darkwa. May mix Williams and Vereen around. But Jennings is the starter. Most fans would be happy with a 8-8. And some protection for Eli. And the double over the Cowgirls. (But that goes without saying.) 33/1 at the moment.

"yes, 28/1's a bit short. the Steelers would have a chance for me if they could keep the big lump fit but the way he plays he's always going to end up on a stretcher before November"

"shorty, im always an optimist so very blinkered but I think we're better prepared than last year. it's just gruden's attitude to running backs that may fuck us like it did against green bay"

"another big drawback with our head coach is his distain for the run game. he let our best back go to dallas and has a running back by committee attitude where he constantly splits the carries so it's almost impossible for a back to get any rhythm or confidence. for me, the best teams are built off a solid run game"

Just had a quick butchers over on William Hill's. Vikings are 28/1. And the Skins are 50/1. Maybe worth a couple of quid.?

"shorty, our first string defence will be good this year and if we can keep norman fit then we should at least get a wild card game. the problem is our reserves in the secondary. one called dunbar is a receiver turned corner back who's still learning the position, and one of our better rookies (sua cravens) should be starting at safety but for some reason gruden wants to try him at middle linebacker first? the best thing about our team, apart from cousins and reed, is our o-line. really looking strong, just need more luck with injuries this year who's your running back this year?"

That's a gutsy call Miike. They may win the division. (This is from a Giants fan.) And Cousins is a fine QB. But the whole damm thing.! I will doff my cap. In your direction. And curse my luck. For not putting a couple of quid on them. If that ship come in.

"Finally got to look at my draft.Saw what the auto picks got me. And straight off. I'm going to apologise to any Green Bay fans out there. Because Shorty's QB cruse, will kick in around about week 4. So enjoy watching Aaron Rodgers until mid October. When he will cop a season ending injury. (Like the QB's in my pass couple of seasons.) I really should draft Tom Brady and sit back and watch crystal go into meltdown.! Anyway. I'm just hoping I don't pick up the wooden spoon. Just need a quick prediction from everyone. Who going to win the Super Bowl.? Arizona Cardinals. (Been saying them for the past couple of seasons. With my prediction albility. What can go wrong.?)"
