    Not really a fan but as a rugby league fan have tried to keep tabs on Jarryd hayne.

    He seems to really impressed. Pretty amazing for a guy new to the sport to make the final squad for the season.

    nfl.com analysts give their predictions:
    Judy Battista: Packers over Colts. Who cares about shaky defenses? Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck let it rip in a classic shootout, with Rodgers refusing to hand the baton of greatest active quarterback to Luck just yet.

    Jeffri Chadiha: Colts over Seahawks. The Seahawks aren't as strong as they've been in the past, even with Jimmy Graham in the fold. Andrew Luck has too many weapons to be stopped in this contest.

    Brian Billick: Ravens over Seahawks. John Harbaugh has more wins in his seven years as a head coach than anyone in that same span not named Bill Belichick -- and he will out-coach Pete Carroll in another heartbreaking last-second loss for the Seahawks.

    Michael Silver: Packers over Colts. Cal > Stanford. That is all.

    Colleen Wolfe: Colts over Packers. Quarterbackpalooza. Set your DVRs for all the quarterback goodness in this game. Aaron Rodgers plays well; Andrew Luck plays better. Indy wins it all and Luck captures his first title.

    Steve Wyche: Seahawks over Steelers. The Legion of Boom will be unlike any secondary this great offense has had to deal with -- and Niners fans have to watch the Seahawks celebrate on their home field. Ouch.

    Gil Brandt: Packers over Patriots. Aaron Rodgers shows why he's the best quarterback in the NFL in what should be a high-scoring game.

    Adam Schein: Packers over Colts. A classic Super Bowl gets a vintage result. Aaron Rodgers beats Andrew Luck in a shootout!

    Charley Casserly: Eagles over Colts. Chip Kelly's Sam Bradford gamble pays off in the form of a Super Bowl title, and Bradford cashes in as a free agent.

    Elliot Harrison: Packers over Colts. Aaron Rodgers takes home his second Super Bowl MVP trophy, though Eddie Lacy is the key to Super Bowl 50. Indy's so-so run defense catches up to it against a talented offensive line, and Green Bay wins its fifth title.

    Marc Sessler: Eagles over Colts. Indy's less-than-stellar defense won't have the men to slow Chip Kelly's offense. This game won't be close.

    Dave Dameshek: Seahawks over Chiefs. Former AFC West rivals reunite on the world stage, where the 'Hawks make like Dave Krieg eluding Derrick Thomas and slip past Andy Reid's gang.

    Bucky Brooks: Seahawks over Colts. The Seahawks pummel Andrew Luck and Co. behind an impressive effort from the Legion of Boom. Sticky coverage from Richard Sherman and Cary Williams allows the defensive line to beat up Luck in the pocket. With the spectacular passer unable to find his rhythm, the Colts fall apart in the second half.

    Which means the Patriots will probably win it.

    i'm shocked there are 2 pundits who think the eagles are genuine superbowl contenders

    kelly has made a few pretty high risk moves imo , if they all come off then maybe but would need alot of things to go right for them

    Pretty fashionable pick. They got the the AFC Championship game, under Luck they've progressed each year and they've now added Johnson and Gore. That should get them ahead in games meaning teams will be more inclined to throw on them than run at that shocking run D. I drafted Luck and Johnson in my fantasy team so hoping to ride them to glory.

    Not sure if this has already been posted

    Got an email just now from NFL.com with this info:

    The BBC and NFL have agreed a new two-year rights deal to include live coverage of all three International Series game at Wembley as well as Super Bowl 50.
    The new deal also includes a weekly highlights show on BBC Two and online, ‘The Road to the Super Bowl’, which will run from the final Wembley game at the start of November until the climax of the season in February.

    Nice solid win to open the season, Brady with an easy 4TD 0INT game. Good to see opposition coaches in midseason excuse making form already.

    D needs to step it up big time, just not good enough right now and it'll be our main worry this season. Can't have any complaint about Williams performance though, great fill in performance with Bell out.

    Well obviously as the superbowl champs they have to start as favourites but their secondary is a shadow of last year and the Steelers had one of their best players missing. Playoffs for sure and they'll get in a rhythm as their division is so weak but I think 10-6 is more likely that 12-4.

    I didn't think the Pats defense played that well, they gave Roethlisberger ages with the ball at times. Lucky for them the Steelers were a bit of a shambles, missing field goals, failing to score a touchdown from the one yard line etc.

    According to Nate Silver the Washington Redskins are not going to win the Superbowl and will be worse than last season.

    Shows you what he knows about predicting.

    It is still at the point of the season when I can believe we can become a good team again. Why does he have to use facts to tell me that we will be shit?

    i quite like this site for american sports and this guy did a series of articles covering all the divisions and trying to find reasons for fans of each team to be positive about the upcoming season

    if nothing else his comments on the redskins might give you a chuckle at least

    I'd be happy just to beat Cowboys and screw their season up.

    That's just Sky being a bit tardy on updating their page.

    Other providers of standings are available ;-)

    Not surprised noone picked my team The Broncos. Hope I'm wrong but I fear a final ignominious season for Manning: Mid season implosion, followed by the bench, followed by imminent retirement. He was pretty dreadful for much of the second half of last season and I can't see him turning things around at his age.
