I'll watch the 40min highlights on Gamepass lite. Should be a great match!

I’m on lates tomorrow so gunna stay up for it as well...well until I inevitability fall asleep on the sofa that is.
Ps. I’m rooting for the bears tonight!

I’m pumped for tonight… coincidently have the day off work tomorrow so I’m pulling an all nighter .

[Martin]

Texans at 42 and Falcons at 46 looks a bit of a standout! Should be around 20

@martin-futter I agree, the Vikes are solid as well when they get going they grind it out very well.

I am still waiting for Bam Bam Cam to do something amazing again.

[Martin]

The problem with the Bears is that the NFC is loaded and their division is probably the toughest going at the moment. Vikings and Packers also have legitimate Superbowl shouts, not many divisions have 3 teams that can say that!

@bob I have backed New England (obvious but still a good price considering how often they bloody win it!) be surprised if they don't make the AFC title game where they will trade much shorter.

My wildcard pick this year is the Bears, with that scary D reminiscent of the 1985 version, I think they could surprise a few.

I like the look of the Bears as well mate, I backed the Chiefs, I do think that a NE/KC championship game is nailed on again .

[Bob]

That bears D is impressive, just need to see if they can put points on the board also. I'm intrigued by the browns this year. Not saying they will do particularly well, but made a few decent trades. Namely OBJ and Kareem Hunt. Hunt was electric for the chiefs before getting let go. So i'm excited to see how the O line performs.
I'm with you on the Pats though, as boring as it is haha. Surely will trade shorter in the business end of the season.

[Ryan]

This is the first time I am actually excited for the season in a couple of seasons!

Not sure who I fancy yet, Bears Jesus that's a shout @Martin-Futter

Hey Guys, season starts Thursday night/Friday morning, anyone got any preseason trades lined up?
I know @Martin-Futter did a write up last year and highlighted the Rams and made a nice green on them.
Anyone got any fancies this year?

[Ryan]

@martin-futter mental I was going to draft him later too

[Martin]

@ryan-carruthers got to be one of the biggest pre-season shocks of all time!

[Ryan]

Andrew Luck retiring!

[Ryan]

@bob Thats second reply to your own post was brilliant!

[Martin]

@bob you may be right there I just think the division is always theirs, so could have it pretty much wrapped up after a handful of game! Jets, Bills and Dolphins all in new QB rebuild mode this season.

[Bob]

On writing that last message I think I convinced myself it’s nonsense hahaha. Everyone knows they are the class act still so market probably doesn’t react too far plus 8.6 is already a quality price for a team that will go far into the season.

[Bob]

Any thoughts on the pats trading bigger early in the season? Last few seasons they have been slow starters so people start to write them off/Brady is past it blah blah blah then they make the play offs and slot in to top gear and are the best team in the league. I didn’t track the price movements last year but would guess it would have drifted for first few weeks? Anything like that likely this year you reckon?

[Ryan]

@martin-futter Yep they are pretty much nailed on to come down I think!

[Martin]

@ryan-carruthers be amazed if they don't trade shorter and at that price no need to risk big money to make a good return!
