Common Man Predictions – Week 1

[Sirhornsalot]

FINALLY, it's here. We are officially out of the off season wilderness! We are IN the 2026 football season.

First week lacks some of the more exciting games to make your picks from. I try to make it at least a little challenging. This time, we have a Thursday game so have your picks in by midnight Wednesday. Winner will be announced Monday after the final game.

At stake this week – an entire collection of Air Supply albums.

Buenos Suerte!

New season, and I know absolutely nothing about these teams (especially since players are on one year contracts and whole rosters get flipped). That said, this week will probably be my best guesses of the season. The more I think I know about the various teams the worse I do.
