The Thursday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" opens up the NFL season as the year kicks off on Thursday night. What are the best Alabama themed fantasy football plays of the weekend? We then dive into the Crimson Tide's matchup with the South Florida Bulls as we predict three players to standout on Saturday.

The program opens with the NFL as the Crimson Tide has players all over the league. Thursday night features Derrick Henry on the Baltimore Ravens for the first time ever, while Friday night's Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers has Alabama players in prominent positions and more.

We choose three Alabama players we predict has good games on the first official game on Saban Field in Byrant-Denny Stadium.
