    Wasn't there a Boards pick'em league on CBS sports or something? Can somebody bring up the link?

    Its was easier than everybody posting their predictions weekly in different threads and trying to keep score.

    I'm being a pessimist with that prediction, I just expect the bears to finish last in our division and I think the Vikings are on the up right now.

    Looking at the bookies odds...the Bears are about the biggest underdogs of the week +6.5, and they're playing at home (only Steelers are bigger at +7, but they're on the road).

    The bookies do actually make the Vikings favourites (-2.5) in San Francisco, which would seem hard to believe a year ago.

    I find week 1 the hardest to make picks for as you're using last season and what you saw in the preseason to make the pick.

    It would be nice to look forward to the new season, but I foresee a 15-20 minimum point defeat to New England.

    Without Bell or Bryant trying to keep up score, the defence will just fall apart..

    I think Cowboys take the division, and Eagles and Giants fight it out for Wildcard, tbh.

    Don't know who set it up originally or how to send an invite to the league.
