I think there's a lot of people banking on Seattle as well due to the team they're playing.

First week is always sketchy. This season will be hard to pick the Broncos

I REALLY didn't want to take the Ravens in week 1 but this has to be the closest thing to a lock you'll find. The WRs don't matter. The Chiefs won't be able to stop the Ravens from running, and no way an injured Matt Cassell still learning a new offense with a new team will do much against the Ravens defense. Their hope most weeks (at least early) will be that LJ can back the D up a bit and that won't happen either. And the game is in Baltimore. I don't know what the spread is for this one, but KC's in trouble.

If it's possible to still get in I'll take the Saints, forgot to check this earlier in the week...

Uhh ok, 17-17 game now. We are going to lose a good chunk of people if the Chiefs can somehow pull this one out, even though I doubt they will have the ability to win it in the end but I guess anything is possible.

Meh... anything could've happened but the Ravens pretty much dominated the game. It sucked (as a ravens fan) that the score was so close. Ravens had a pretty stupid game plan imo. Once they just started running the ball it was pretty much a wrap. Don't know if you watched any of the game but it was pretty much a blocked punt and one pass they made the score seem closer than the game really was.

Nope didnt watch it, I was watching the Vikings vs Browns game mainly, I did switch it over to the Ravens game briefly but not long enough to really see how the game was going.

I wouldn't have watched it if I were you either, lol. Early it was completely one sided, then both teams played ugly, then one sided again. It was close but not all that great. Some might disagree since the Ravens did put up 500+ yards of offense, but I doubt anyone would say they can beat the Chargers next week playing like they did today.
I watched some of that Min/CLE game too. Jamal played better than I expected against that MIN D. AP is insane. I hope he stays healthy.
