Observations:
1. The stupid Giants had a win, blew it.
2. The Eagles were set to soar, and well, they ran into a defense that was like NOPE. Also DeMarco Murray...
3. That Seahawks/Rams game was pretty good.That defense that the Rams have, plus an offense that can score, the Rams might not be terrible this season.
4. Marcus. Mariotta. 13 of 16, perfect passer rating, 4 td's made the Bucs his bitch. Kid might be pretty good or something. It will get harder for him as the season progresses, but for one day, he looked like a potential hall of famer.
5. Lot of good players went down. I know it cost some people some fantasy football games.
6. Dallas has two division games to start the season, if they can weather those, they should be a-okay.
7. Jay Cutler is in full late season terrible form.
8. Carson Palmer looked great.
9. Peyton Manning, did not. Neither did Adrian Peterson.
10. I almost feel bad for the Raiders.
11. Almost have to apologize to the 49ers. They don't seem as bad as I thought they would.
12. The Bills. That defense. Their offense might actually be better than half bad.

The Ingersoll Pick of the Week:
I'm in a survivor league, so I am introducing the Ingersoll pick of the week. This is who I believe, above all others, will definitely win their game this week.
St. Louis Rams - They have a good defense that should smother the Redskins. They also have an offense that put up some points on one of the best defenses around. Look for them to go into Washington and drop 31 on them.

(CBS/NFL) Broncos (1-0) vs Chiefs (1-0) - Broncos looked like garbage last week. Seriously. That's not the Peyton Manning I know.Their defense, however, held up nicely and did some work. That's what one them the game. Chiefs looked good on both sides of the ball. I was suprised they jumped on the Texans. Their problem, which nearly cost them the game, being unable to score in the second half. They better fix that. Broncos 24, Chiefs 20

1:00PM EST
(CBS) Texans (0-1) vs Panthers (1-0) - I don't know why I'm so surprised that a stacked Texans defense gave up a ton of points to a Chiefs team that isn't all that great. Now they get Cam Newton. So many questions at QB for the Texans. Cam won't run free, and we will definitely see a better Texans team. JJ Watts is going to go bananas. Texans 24, Panthers 13
(FOX) 49ers (1-0) vs Steelers (0-1) - A couple of bounces here and there and the Steelers could have a win. 49ers, looked pretty great. I am shocked about that. Especially after all of the offseason losses they suffered. By the way, the Steelers defense, looks porous. They are going to have a long season if they can't find a way not to let teams throw the ball all over them. Steelers 17, 49ers 10
(FOX) Buccaneers (0-1) vs Saints (0-1) - Buccaneers are normal. Always looking up at the other teams in the division. Sure, Winston didn't look half bad and I have to remember that he's a rookie, but the team itself gave up 42 points to a team that probably shouldn't have scored 42 points. It can only go up from there. Saints, played decent considering they traded their biggest weapon to a team stacked full of weapons. I can't see the Saints losing. Saints 31, Bucs 17
(FOX) Lions (0-1) vs Vikings (0-1) - Thought that Adrian Peterson would do better than 31 yards, but nope. Thought the Lions would sustain a lead, but nope. Two defenses that need to step up. The Lions have a much better offense and should put up some points. Lions 28, Vikings 20
(FOX) Cardinals (1-0) vs Bears (0-1) - Jay Cutler. That's all I have to say about the Bears. I wonder if his teammates want to secretly whoop his ass. He is just like terrible. Carson Palmer, away because of a torn ACL, comes back and delivers 3 TD's, already looking like midseason form. Let's face it, Jay Cutler is stupid. Cardinals should make the Bears 0-2. Cardinals 24, Bears 14
(CBS) Patriots (1-0) vs Bills (1-0) - It's the Patriots. They always look good. Brady (totally nailed his TD total last week) won't have as easy a time throwing the ball against this defense. The Bills Defense, looks good. They have some Pro Bowlers there and they should give Brady a bit of a time. If their offense can put up some points, look for the Bills to win. Bills 27, Patriots 17
(CBS) Chargers (1-0) vs Bengals (1-0) - I can never tell with either of these teams. They are almost identically built. Decent defense. Two QB's who seemingly are always one season away from being backups. RB's who I really don't know. Somehow at the end of every season, they are there. In the postseason. Maybe one of them will get it together this season. Bengals 21, Chargers 13
(CBS) Titans (1-0) vs Browns (0-1) - Let's be honest. Manziel is a mess. His play is erratic. Can't hang on to the football. He is more hype than hope. I don't imagine that he will be a starter. Titans on the other hand. That Mariotta kid, d-d-d-d-amn. I mean. He had more TD's than incompletions. Sorry Browns, I don't see you winning this game unless Manziel pulls his head out of his butt. Titans 27, Browns 10
(FOX) Falcons (1-0) vs Giants (0-1) - Giants are a mess though. Blame game. Collapses. JPP not playing and fingers missing. A fourth losing season without making the playoffs, expect Coughlin to be gone. For now, they have a problem. A team that shut down a high powered offense. A team with a weapon like Julio Jones and the Giants don't have anyone to cover him. Yowza. Falcons 31, Giants 20
4:05PM EST
(FOX) Rams (1-0) vs Redskins (0-1) - Already gave the nod to the Rams. They should march in there and make the Redskins wish they changed their name. Rams 35, Redskins 7
(CBS) Dolphins (1-0) vs Jaguars (0-1) - I don't think the Jaguars will ever be good. I mean, they looked decent last week. But for now, they are stuck in NFL Purgatory. Dolphins look decent. Is Tannehill a legit starter? Hard to tell at times. They still need to upgrade their weapons around him. They should be enough to knock the Jaguars down past the cellar. Dolphins 28, Jaguars 13
(CBS) Ravens (0-1) vs Raiders (1-0) - Raiders have occupied the cellar of the NFL so long that it's hard to beat them down verbally. Ravens should've beat the Broncos. Lost Suggs for the year. They should still beat a Raiders team that is without Derek Carr. Ravens 17, Raiders 7
(FOX) Cowboys (1-0) vs Eagles (0-1) - So many things here. The Cowboys are going to be without Dez Bryant for the next 6-8 weeks. The Eagles got DeMarco Murray and Sam Bradford, neither of which looked good last week. The Eagles should put up some points. I hate to say it, but I think they will win. Hope they lose though. Eagles 27, Cowboys 20
8:30PM EST
(NBC) Seahawks (0-1) vs Packers (1-0) - I can't imagine the Seahawks starting 0-2. Yet they are going to Lambeau to face a Packers team with a defense that can stuff the Seahawks. The Seahawks, gots weapons for days. I just didn't expect them to lose to the Rams. is Kam Chancellor being out a bigger deal than the Seahawks are letting on? I know they will calm down and have a better season. For now, though need to get it together. Packers 24, Seahawks 17
Monday September 21st
8:30PM EST
(ESPN) Jets (1-0) vs Colts (0-1) - I mean, the Jets. They always start out decent and then fade. I don't fully expect them to be good. Improved, yes. Good. no. Not saying much. Colts, shocking they got beat down by the Bills. But that won't be so bad if the Bills are good and fighting for a playoff spot. Colts need to get that offense going. Andrew Luck needs to have four TD's this week. Colts 31, Jets 17
5. Lot of good players went down. I know it cost some people some fantasy football games.
6. Dallas has two division games to start the season, if they can weather those, they should be a-okay.
7. Jay Cutler is in full late season terrible form.

You should start off each post with your current record. Would be interesting to see how accurate your picks are.
