NFL season officially starts today! <diva>

Think The Eagles will give the Cowboys an absolute twatting.

Thanks for the tips, Barkley it is then.

I usually use the NFL draft website but there's all sorts of internal errors, on the app but it's being slow and I'm not sure how reliable it will be...

Might end up being a disastrous draft.

Well it crashed a couple of times, but it only autopicked once, for my penultimate pick. Chase, JJ and Barkley all went before my first pick so here's my team:

Burrow
J Taylor
A Jones
St. Brown
Olave
J Smith (who did well for me a few times when he came in last season, Kelce went like 3 picks before *cries*)
Some dude called Hunter who plays for the Jags, I panic picked because my app crashed and I had seconds left to pick when I got back
Reichard as a kicker
Vikings defence

Bench:

Herbert
Addison (yeah I know he's suspended but when he comes back...)
Mixon (yeah I know he's injured but when he comes back...)
Little, the jags kicker, mainly because I heard about him kicking 70 yards recently
Some guy called Downs who plays for the Colts... that was my autopick, I was intending to pick a back up defence so will probably pick up a defence for him, not sure which though...
And with my final pick I had to go for JJ McCarthy

Edit: Oh dear, I'm projected to win zero games... That would be mortifying. I might create another team just because this one is apparently a disaster.

I always read the Fantasy start 'em, sit 'em pages on the NFL website. Plus look out for the waiver pick up recommendations.
 
I was 1 yard away from winning £300 :(

In my bet buillder, I had Barkley to score a TD, Hurts 60+ yards rushing, Lamb 90+ yards receiving and Lamb to score a TD. Lamb was pushed out of bounds a yard before the goal line on the opening drive of the game. :(

Ouch! Lost my first bet of the season too. I had a rushing TD and a passing TD both to happen in the first quarter at 5/1 and it didn't quite happen. Annoyingly close too

The only consolation is I get my stake back as free credit (which is why I put the bet on in the first place) so hopefully I've have more luck on my Sunday evening acca.

Better not be considering the size of bet I have riding on the Saints being the worst team in both forms of football

You would need Southampton to finish bottom of Division 2, New Orleans to go winless, Northampton to bottom the Rugby Union Pyramid, St Helens to go bankrupt in League…There’s even a baseball team called St Paul Saints (but definitely not football related!).

No I just need the New Orleans Saints to be the worst in the nfl.

Already won the Southampton Saints being the worst last season, thankfully we beat Derbys record because I asked for odds on us not doing that before the season started and B365 never came back to me.

While the start of the NFL is exciting, it's also bittersweet because 1) it means winter is coming and I ****ing hate winter 2) around this time last I was dating that girl who lived in Cardiff, if you remember all the NFL dating metaphors.

I'm watching Bengals v Browns, mainly to see how my fantasy QB (burrow) does. Not very well it seems.

I am sure you have picked the ball back up and made a first down with a new lady, PL!
