When most of the games kickoff on Sunday, another season begins. I usually like to spend that time at home flipping through channels, getting the latest info and score updates from all the games. But when the Colts are scheduled for a Noon kickoff to start the season (a rarity), that needs my undivided attention.
This year, the Colts visit Houston for the opener. Although the Colts are 15-1 all-time against the Texans, Houston is much improved and owner Bob McNair says they are the best team in team history. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Colts start 0-1, but they are the Colts and I expect them to win. They seem to have a way to pull out games against the Texans that they have no business winning.
After considering watching the game at Bourbon Street with hundreds of drinking Bears fans, I wisely decided to go to Michiana Shores and watch the game in peace.
As far as the NFL as a whole this week, there are really no sure fire bets. A lot of the good teams are playing each other and a lot of struggling teams are facing off against one another, see Lions-Bears or Browns-Bucs. My eliminator pick is San Diego, who I believe will beat the Chiefs by a pair of touchdowns Monday night.
It should be a great season. The Colts are looking as strong as they ever have going into a year. I just hope at this time next year we are talking about Week One of the 2011 season and not a season-postponing lockout.
