Anyone want to take a bet on NFL Season Opener
Super Bowl Champs host
Typically versus the previous year’s runner up, if scheduled
The Minnesota Vikings and Kirk Cousins to face off versus Super Bowl Champs Philadelphia Eagles and Carson Wentz.
Anyone want to bet against this?
Hell yeah!
The NFC is loaded with must see teams: Vikings, Packers, 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys, New Orleans, Atlanta. Stacked. The NFL, and specifically FOX, is giggling in their pants. Prepare to see a lot of Minnesota on prime time.
I’m not so sure Wentz will be ready/available for the opener...

We also play the Cards at home and the Jets on the road. We'll probably see what we are OR aren't missing up close and personal from #8 and #5.

agreed but would switch out dallas for LA.
It's possible. They only have home games against Atlanta, Carolina and the Vikings that would qualify as quality opponents. They do of course have a game versus Dallas and the NFL loves to put the Cowboys on in prime time. I don't think they've been in a season opener before, so I'd bet on Philly/Dallas as the likely matchup.
Wentz better be ready to go or they'll make the 2017 Bradford vs. Keenum situation look like 1st grade school work.
Keenum earned his keep with the pedigree of an UDFA who couldnt hold a job with two NFL teams. Nick Foles just won a Super Bowl and, in the past, has played at a high level before.
It's one thing to put the writing on the wall right now to avoid a controversy, it's another to actually be sitting at Week 5 4-1 or 5-0 by the time Wentz is healthy.
I never thought about Wentz not being ready to go before and think the contrast to us and the situation we just finished is pretty intriguing.
