Guess who’s back! Back again! Um…well…it’s me!
More so than that, it’s football!
Even MORE so than that, it’s football stadium’s across the country filled with fans again!
2020 gave us one of the more memorable seasons to say the least, for all of the wrong reasons. But, let’s try and forget another Tom Brady Super Bowl (see what I did there?)
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 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Chicago – Dalton or Fields…Fields or Dalton…yeah…wouldn’t matter either way this week.
15 – TENNESSEE over Arizona – The Titans were sneaky dangerous last year…now with Julio in the mix they are just dangerous!
14 – TAMPA BAY over Dallas – The season starts where last season ended – in Tampa…with the Bucs winning.
13 – BUFFALO over Pittsburgh – A win over a solid Steelers team would further confirm the Bills’ spot towards the top of the league.
12 – KANSAS CITY over Cleveland – I see the Browns continuing to take steps in the right direction this season. Unfortunately they drew a road game against the Chiefs to start the season.
11 – San Francisco over DETROIT – My Week 1 Bold Prediction last year was that the Jaguars would only win one game…NAILED IT! In keep with the theme of predictable mediocrity, while it won’t be as bad, my BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE LIONS WILL END THE SEASON ‘ON THE CLOCK” WITH THE WORST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE.
10 – NEW ENGLAND over Miami – Foxboro hosts the first of what I’m sure will be many Saban Bowls with Mac vs Tua – Mac wins round 1 since he’s at home.
9 – Green Bay over NEW ORLEANS – The reigning MVP will have a lot to prove after a circus of an off-season.
8 – CAROLINA over New York Jets – Sam Darnold’s mentality is simple – “yeah it makes sense that the Jets ditched me for Zach Wilson…but at least now I have CMC behind me!”
7 – Seattle over INDIANAPOLIS – The pre-season was spent dealing with injuries for the Colts – no way they are ready for the Seahawks.
6 – Minnesota over CINCINNATI – Joe Burrow can be a top quarterback in this league…once the Bengals are actually able to protect him for more than 1.7 seconds in the pocket. Drafting a guy who can’t catch a ball because the NFL ball doesn’t have white lines like it does in college won’t help.
5 – Baltimore over LAS VEGAS – REALLY wanted to say the Raiders would win the first game in Vegas with fans…but I have a responsibility to be unbiased…unfortunately.
4 – ATLANTA over Philadelphia – Remember when this would have been an elite matchup? Yeah, not so much now.
3 – Jacksonville over HOUSTON – It was very thoughtful of the league to ease Trevor Lawrence into the league by making his first game against a team similar to one he would have gone against in a Clemson practice last year.
2 – NEW YORK GIANTS - Denver – This is a make or break year for Daniel Jones – I think he makes it.
1 – WASHINGTON over Los Angeles Chargers – Dear Lord I can’t wait to not have to say Washington Football Team!
