Hopefully Sky will show more Dolphins games this year,the Dolphins set a trend last season with the wildcat offence,which a lot of teams are set to copy this year,it'll be interesting to see if NFL defences cope with it better.

The Dolphins did well for Sky coverage last season, and they did us proud getting as far as they did after the appalling 2007 season!

Atlanta Falcons for my sins..woof,woof going back to the glory days of Steve Bartkowski, William Andrews and Mick Luckhurst

If anyone is interested we could set up a little forum group on either or both the Sky and ESPN Gridiron Challenge Fantasy Football sites.

For us freeloading non-Sky subscribers there is also going to be a full game on the radio each Sunday evening on 5 Live Sports Extra.

It'll almost be just like the good old days of crackly, fading in and out AFN coverage

A bit disappointed that neither Sky or Channel 5 are showing Monday Night Football,especially as my Raiders are first up against the Chargers,i even booked off Tuesday from work months ago in anticipation of watching it live.....D'OH!!

That surprises me, would of thought Five would have shown the monday night game,at least they would have all the viewing audience. Have to watch it on the internet (justintv, playandwatch, or ustream).

I support the Washington Redskins, and yes the NFC East is the toughest division in the NFL.

You guys got any predictions for your teams, unfortunately i can see the Skins going 7-9, very good defense just a shame i expect our offense to suck. Take away Portis and Cooley and we have nothing on offense. Jason Campbell is an average QB at best and the WRs (apart from Moss) have yet to do anything.

As an original Houston Oilers fan, It maybe a little weird but i support the Tennessee Titans and have a soft spot for the Houston Texans who are in the same division.
Defensively we will be weaker losing Albert Haynesworth, However we drafted some receivers and got Nate Washington so hopefully we should have a bit more offence, I predict we will go 10-6

Steelers fan here since it was a friend from Pittsburgh that got me into it so can't really complain about anything , got a good chance of repeating I think. Will probably be the Steelers and the Patriots from the AFC and no idea about the NFC could be one of a few, think the Vikings will have a chance if Adrian Peterson can stay fit though and the Eagles are always worth a watch, depends on the Vick factor there

I'll predict a 12-4 season for the Steelers and a trip to Florida in February

I've just noticed 5live will be broadcasting one game a week this year and there is talk that the BBc will be showing highlights

My prediction for The Oakland Raiders,improvement i hope,i still think we're maybe two years away from competing for a play-off spot,JaMarcus Russell showed massive improvement in the last 6-7 games of last season,but despite drafting Heyward-Bey with the seventh pick of the draft we lack depth and quality at wide receiver, although Zach Miller is emerging as a premier Tight End.Without doubt the main weapon we have on offence is our triple-threat rushing attack with Fargas,McFadden and Bush.

Defensively last year our run defence couldn't stop Stephen Hawking going up a very steep hill! in a division where we will be facing the likes of Tomlinson,Sproles,Johnson and the always effective Denver running game,despite trading for Richard Seymour this is still a major concern.

But as a wise man once said "On any given sunday,you're gonna win or you're gonna lose.The point is can you win or lose like a man"

GO RAIDERS!!!!

Have to say i'm still laughing about the DHB pick and i'm a Maryland Terps Fan. How on earth you can pick him ahead of Crabtree, Harvin and Nicks is beyond me, just goes to show how much Al Davis loves speed. If i were you i wouldnt expect a big year from DHB as coming out of college he could basically run one route which was just a straight line past the defenders and we have seen plenty of times speed isnt everything. Dont know if he will return kicks with Higgins being there but he could be a very good option in the return game.
