Times are in Pacific (for us West Coasters), most of these games are gonna be on the NFL network for us too. Obviously not the Monday Night & Prime Time ones, but probably all the 10am's. Now for my predictions with this year (most of which I can only base on past performances) I'm gonna go ahead and say we have a pretty easy season. I think we can chalk these teams up as W's: OAK, DET (they will never be good), CLE, & CIN. Oakland & Detroit I don't think I need to explain. Although we are in Oakland, they will still be terrible & unless there's some kind of divine intervention, we will kill them. Cleveland will be pretty bad still & Cincinnati with the loss of Housh I predict they may take DET's place with a 0 win year.
Now, for the rest of the games:
KC: has 2nd round pick: could help them get a little better, but we should still be able to take them down.
SD: LT is still there & Rivers (if he can find someone) might be a mini threat but I feel good about this one even though we are away (also predicting at least 1 pick with Reedfense).
NE: away real tough especially with Brady coming back I'm gonna hope for the best but expect the worst.
MINN, eh, Peterson is good, but thats about all we have to worry about with them even away from home.
DEN: with the loss of Cutler I think these guys might be done next year.
IND: this is a toss up I don't really know what to expect with them, I'm gonna say this is a toss up (especially at home).
PITT: going to be tough....again, I don't wanna see anymore inconclusive call this year though!
GB: I don't know about this, Rogers is still pretty good. All I know it will be cold & I don't want to be there
CHI: OK, they may be a real threat this year. Adding Cutler, with Forte, & their D from last year they may be pretty, pretty, pretty good. I don't want to think about this game but hopefully home field advantage can get us a win.

I don't really care about the preseason stuff but I wanna see the Jets & Skins games (Skins just cause they're gonna loose)
