Saints at Colts: I mean, come on. One of these teams is the potentially the best team in all of football, the other a wannabe version of the same team. The Saints want to be the Colts, in the way of completely mimicking their offensive styles, and all there horrendous defence. Don't forget, Colts have won their first 8 games the past two years, and it will easily happen again. Manning is still the best player in football (Tomlinson still hasn't done anything in the playoffs, so get off that bandwagon) and the Colts are explosive enough that they might not even punt once this game.
The Pick: Indianapolis Colts
Denver at Buffalo: Wow... I am a JP Losman fan, but he is going to have at least 3 interceptions in the first game of the season, and be absolutely smashed. Dre Bly is going to hav ea coming in party, and people will realize how great of an addition he was. Also Travis Henry is just plain sick, just you wait for his breakout season. All in all, this will not be an exciting game in any which way, unless you enjoy blowouts.
The Pick: Denver Broncos
Miami at Washington: Here is my feelings on Miami. They are unpredictable. Ronnie Brown is talented, and I always loved Trent Green (over under on number of concussions this season, 1.5). However, if there is one team I absolutely love as a sleeper, its the Washington Redskins. They are absolutely insanely talented, with a superb secondary, and up and coming QB Jason Campbell, with a great RB duo in Ladell Betts and Clinton Portis. All in all, I think everyone should watch out for Washington, while Miami, not so sure yet.
The Pick: Washington Redskins
Pittsburgh at Cleveland: Well, everyone knows my feelings on Cleveland... They are an atrocious team. They have Joe Thomas, but he alone will not repair their line. Their starting QB is only listed as week-to-week, which makes me feel a little wary where that is going, and thier RB is halfway into the grave as far as his career in the NFL goes. All in all, this is too easy a pick even if it wasn't against Pittsburgh, a team with at least some talent.
The Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers
Tennesse at Jacksonville: This is a tough game to predict, as I am super down on both of these teams. The the reason I am picking this game the way I am, is because I feel that Tennessee will fight for something, just for a week. Then we will see how Vince Young is a better behaved Michael Vick, all run and no throw, and how this team has no Running back. But for one week, I expect Gerrard to be so terrible that they'll go "O" and one, and give Indy the clinch already.
The Pick: Tennessee Titans
The Pick: Kansas City Chiefs
Philadelphia at Greenbay: Another very simple pick. Westbrook has amazing talent, and can break one free at any point. Greenbay has an absolutely atrocious Runningback duo, and a QB who was good like 8 years ago! Plus McNabb is healthy, although for how long no one really ever knows. So yeah, I really like Philadelphia as a team this season, and I see an easy week 1 win.
The Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
Carolina at St.Louis: All I need to say is one thing. MARC BULGER. The most underated QB in the NFL, and he can pass for 300 yards at any single time. And thats not even counting in the fact that they have the talented Steven Jackson. Plus Carolina still won't even take the minute risk of putting in David Carr who is twice as good as Delhomme will ever be. So until Carr is in, I won't be picking Carolina too much,
The Pick: St.Louis Rams
Atlanta at Minnesota: Man, I actually like both of these team. Now Minnesota has a great defence like always, and the Runningback duo of Chester Taylor and Adrian Peterson looks sick. However, they also have Tarvarias Jackson, who is a painful QB to watch, to say the least. Atlanta, they have Joey Harrington. As soon as I see that name nothing else matters. I always got your back boi!
The Pick: Joey Harrington (err... I mean Falcons)
New England at New York Jets: I am not as up on New England as everyone else is. I mean, Wes Welker and Kelly Washington are going to help a ton if they play them, but using Moss could destroy their way of offense. The Jets are a confusing team to say the least, and they are at home. But the Patriots are still too good, and I don't want to have to eat another banana... EVER... So yeah, I'll be taking the safe one.
The Pick: New England Patriots
Tampa Bay at Seattle: This is my first pick of the winners pool where you have to pick one team to win every week, and if that team loses you are out. In a week of good matchups Seattle is home against this horrible Bucs team. So really, won't waste your time, this will be a blowout.
The Pick: Seattle Seahawks by 30+
Detroit at Oakland: A very tough game to figure out. I think Oakland is very likely to improve greatly, and I think Detroit will under perform. So in all intents and purposes I should be picking Oakland. But hey, maybe Detroit will go 1-0 for a change, and Kitna vs McNown... Well, we know who is more talented there. So yeah, for one week I'll be picking Detroit (although don't get to used to it)
The Pick: Detroit Lions
Chicago at San Diego. An NFC team travelling to a 2007 playoff AFC team. That's all you need to say.
The Pick: San Diego Chargers
New York Giants at Dallas: Now, this pick has no rationale. Every possible reason states that you should take the obvious choice and pick Dallas. On paper they are better at nearly every position, and that isn't even including the fact that they are home. The problem is, I love Eli, and I know he is going to play lights out just to show Theill how wrong he is, and how he will be the Giants savior. So yeah, this pick is for you Eli!!!
The Pick: New York Giants
Baltimore at Cincinatti: See, I am not nearly as up on Cincy as everyone else is. Their WR duo of Chad Johnson and T.J Housh never has completely impressed me. The part of the team that does impress me, however is Rudi Johnson. Despite that, Baltimore has McGahee who wants to show that he is the man of this team, and to do so very rapidly. So yeah, expect alot of running from Baltimore, who will control the clock and win the game.
The Pick: Baltimore Ravens
Arizona at San Francisco: Before this week I was all over the San Fran bandwagon. But then it became to popular, and I started to see the team as it is. Still not ready to make the jump to be elite NFC team (which is equal to mediocre AFC team, incase you were wondering). However, Arizona is even less likely in my mind to make the jump, because every year they look so good. And every year I fall into the hype, and get disapointed. Well not this year....
The Pick: Arizona Cardinals (guess it will be this year once again)
