I've never been this excited for preseason before. Even if it is third string players trying to avoid the cut.

mikemac

Ravens face the "Dream Team" :rolleyes:

Gamepass renewed and I'll be staying up to watch:

I'm looking out for many things but mainly

OLB Sergio Kindle out injured all last season. Second round pick and help at pass rush needed


OT Jah Reid, mountain of a man and will get a go at right tackle

Its on ESPN for sure.

What I want to see from the Pats the most is Ellis and Haynesworth and Vereen getting some snaps but all are out of tonight's game.

Next Im hoping Hoyer gets most of the game and maybe Ryan Mallett and Brady to dust of the rust.

Also want to see our WR all get some reps especially Ocho and Tate

How right you are, my bad, ESPN are showing it! All the same because if you have Sky Sports you ESPN free!!

As a sidenote has anyone been watching the MLB on ESPN, great stuff, up til 2am last night watching the Yankees!

Personally I am a baseball fan never picked 1 team. Been to many Brewer and Red Sox games though. Keep tabs on both. But keeping the thread on topic

Baseball forum that way ---->

I think it can be profitable enough. For instance I like the Seahawks tonight because I think Jackson will get a decent chunk of time with his starting offence and should already have a good connection with Rice. Cant see Rivers et al being out there too long.

Anyway, thanks a million

EDIT: Scratch that, consensus on a few Seahawks forums are that the starters wont see much time at all

Peyton Manning

Did well enough betting on preseason last year, but only thing I like tonight is Ravens +3

Syferus

Woo. Almost forgot the first batch of games are on tonight. Since ESPN became part of the Sky Sports package I can just switch my tv on for some pre-season games. A nice change!

mikemac

Are you going to have the betting log going again TB?

Peyton Manning

Yup, already started!

You can have my TB sig if you want - I know how much you love Brady signatures

Hulk Hands

We've a full season of gambling and potential forfeits ahead....ill be looking for revenge!

Peyton Manning

Well speaking of Brady, looks like he's not taking part tonight. Hoyer and Mallett, we'll also see Gabbert for the Jags.

JohnnyRyan99

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!??

Huzzah!

mikemac

I remember seeing Hoyer against the Bucs in Wembley and being impressed
I'll have a look at him and Mallet for sure tonight

Half wondering why the Redskins don't try to make a trade for Hoyer

eagle eye

I was impressed by Kyle Love last season and he looks a lot bigger now than he did then.

now the fun starts for those of us trying to find a half decent stream :pac:

anyone anytips where to get an eagles ravens stream

mikemac

I hate this new kickoff rule at the thirty five :mad:

NFL kickers just make a mockery of it and so far here in Philadelphia, the either hit the back of the end zone or clear the entire end zone

This doesn't help the big leg kickers as now the average kickers can clock up the touchbacks

And a kickoff return is one of the most electrifying plays in football and you'll see far fewer attempts now

Hazys

Wow this new rule to review every touchdown is a joke.

V.Jackson is just money!
