Week One Picks
I for one should probably not be making picks, but it’s week one, I’m excited and it’s my blog so here’s what I think is going to happen.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ New England Patriots
Everyone outside of New England hates that Tom Brady got off without a suspension and are ready for him to get his just deserts. So naturally the Patriots are going blow out the Steelers and we’re all going to be mad.
Miami Dolphins @ Washington Redskins
The Redskins have been the model of consistency over the last few years. Unfortunately they are consistently terrible and plagued by off the field issues. I expect them to keep with the trend and I’m going to have to go with Miami on this one.
Cleveland Browns@ New York Jets
In a real clash of the titans I have Cleveland edging out New York.
Indianapolis Colts @ Buffalo Bills
Andrew Luck has a great supporting cast this season, to go along with his awful facial hair. I think the Bills are going to pull this one out though.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Houston Texans
The Kansas City Chiefs are lead by Alex “take no chances” Smith and Texans are lead by JJ “Holy Crap that’s a large man” Watt. Unfortunately I don’t think Watt can play quarterback and that leaves Brian “Hasn’t done anything to deserve a nickname” Hoyer to make plays and he won’t. Chalk one up for the Chiefs
Detroit Lions @ San Diego Chargers
Wow… what a boring match up. I’ll take the Lions I guess.
Baltimore Ravens @ Denver Broncos
We all know that Peyton Manning is done after his disappointing 4,727 yards and 39 TDs to 15 INTs last year. But never underestimate Joe Flacco’s ability to be incredibly mediocre in the regular season. Broncos and it’s not close.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Oakland Raiders
Andy Dalton is awful on the road, and it would be funny if the Raiders won. So you know what Raiders over Cincy!
Carolina Panthers @ Jacksonville Jaguars
There are playmakers all over the bench on this one, at least the Panthers have Cam Newton. Panthers obviously.
Seattle Seahawks @ St. Louis Rams
I’m really expecting big things out of the Rams this year… wait their QB is Nick Foles? What do you mean Gurley is still healing from a torn ACL? Okay Seahawks.
New Orleans Saints @ Arizona Cardinals
Neither team got better this off season, but the Saints got a lot worse. Cardinals.
Tennessee Titans @Tampa Bay Buccaneers
A possible Super Bowl preview? No. But I think despite problems up front the Buccaneers win this one.
New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
The Giants have been pretty bad the last few years yet people expect them to be good this year. I don’t see it. Cowboys all day.
Philadelphia Eagles @ Atlanta Falcons
People who hate defense and good football rejoice. Eagles over the Falcons.
Minnesota Vikings @ San Francisco 49ers
Nobody had a worse off season that the 49ers, and I like the Vikings to be much improved. Vikings.
