That was a hell of a season opener, no? Manning really put on a show at the defending SB champions' expense and is the sixth QB in history to throw seven TD passes in a game. He's the first to do so since Joe Kapp did it in 1969. Manning was 27 of 42 for 462 yards with no picks for a QB rating of 141.1
The Ravens meanwhile have had their defense decimated, with losing a bunch of key veteran guys, and the Broncos really exposed that last night. Anyone in the pool who wasn't scared off by the big -8.5 spread and went with Denver got themselves a good start to their season.
SUNDAY is the final deadline for week 1 picks, btw. So if anyone is late to the party you haven't missed too much yet. Get in now, and remember to send some extra traffic to ImLive so you have a shot at doubling your winnings during the regular season.
