Something new starts this week... YOU get to pick a game. Well, I mean, you get to decide on a game that we pick. We'll loop around to everyone in the league, but we'll start with the original DFC'ers (this week is Matt Latta)... his game choice and his write up is below.
COLLEGE GAMES (SATURDAY)
Notre Dame Fightin' Irish at Michigan Wolverines, 230p, ABC
UCLA Bruins at Tennessee Volunteers, 3p, ESPN
Mississippi State Bulldogs at Auburn Tigers, 6p
USC Trojans at Ohio State Buckeyes, 7p ESPN
NFL Games (THURSDAY GAME)
Tennessee Titans at Pittsburgh Steelers, 730p, Fox
NFL GAMES (SUNDAY GAMES)
Miami Dolphins at Atlanta Falcons, 12p, CBS
Philadelphia Eagles at Carolina Panthers, 12p, Fox
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers, 720p, NBC
Matt Latta writes... The first Sunday night game of the year gives the winner a quick advantage in the NFC North, where one of the wild card teams in the NFC will likely come from. For Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers is back after proving last year that he can hold his own against the history in Green Bay. The defense should be improved this year, but may struggle a little at first as they adjust to the new 3-4 scheme. Chicago somehow pulled off one of the most lopsided trades in NFL history sending Kyle Orton to Denver for Jay Cutler (if i was a Broncos fan, i would be so depressed- kinda like being a Mississippi State fan i guess...) who will have a dynamic RB Matt Forte and the typical strong Bears defense backing him up. For entertainment purposes only (of course) Vegas favors the Packers by 3.5 (home field is worth 3 points in vegas), but we all know Lambeau Field isnt as intimidating in September as it is in December.
Tiebreak Game... USC at Ohio State... total points scored in this game
