Guess who’s back! Back again! Um…well…it’s me!
More so than that, it’s football!
It’s safe to say that college football got us primed with the amazing game and finishes we had last weekend. But…I mean…come on! There’s nothing like Week 1 of the NFL Season!
I don’t know about you, but seven months is LONG enough, let’s get back at it!
Week 1 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – TENNESSEE over New York Giants – I don’t think the Giants will be AS bad as it looks like they could be…but they’ll look pretty bad in Nashville on Sunday.
15 – CINCINNATI over Pittsburgh – Welcome back to starting NFL games, Mitch Trubiski! Your prize is a road game against the defending conference champs.
14 – WASHINGTON over Jacksonville – Enjoy it Commander fans, can’t see your team this high on a confidence pool much this year. Well…not as the winner.
13 – Baltimore over New York Jets – Safe to say that Lamar Jackson will be playing like he wants someone to pay him.
12 – Indianapolis over HOUSTON – The Texans might be building a bit of an underrated future for themselves…unfortunately for them Jonathan Taylor will probably run for over 200 yards in the very near present.
11 – CAROLINA over Cleveland – This has to feel like the Super Bowl for Baker Mayfield.
10 – MINNESOTA over Green Bay – I’m not ignorant enough to say Aaron Rodgers and the Packers will have a horrible offense without Davante Adams – but there will be a little “feeling out” period with the new WR group.
9 – MIAMI over New England – Tyreek Hill should be able to provide a decent amount of false hope for Dolphins fans after this one.
8 – DALLAS over Tampa Bay – Heads up, Cowboy fans are going to be insufferable after this one.
7 – ATLANTA over New Orleans – …aaaaand we have our “This game is being playing because it’s on the schedule” level of excitement game of the season.
6 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Buffalo – Last year’s champs start the season hosting what could be our Super Bowl matchup this year. This isn’t a gambling piece but the Rams are currently the underdogs (+2)…just something to keep in mind.
5 – Las Vegas over LOS ANGELES CHARGERS – Those who think this outcome will be different than the epic that ended the 2021 season because of home field advantage for the Chargers haven’t seen the Raider Nation take over San Diego/LA.
4 – Kansas City over ARIZONA – The Chiefs offense will take a hit after losing their top receiver…but so will the Cardinals.
3 – Denver over SEATTLE – Yes, Russell Wilson will beat his old team - but with all the hype around the Broncos, my BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE BONCOS WILL FINISH LAST IN THE AFC WEST.
2 – DETROIT over Philadelphia – Yeah I’ll accept that this is just a Hard Knocks Hype pick.
1 – CHICAGO over San Francisco – It’s sad to say that the Bears will be a team this year that if you think they’ll win, don’t put them too much higher than the one-point line.
