Just one week into the season and we have already seen a lot!
But do we really KNOW anything based off of one week? As you’ll see in this week’s picks, no, not really! Don’t forget that just a couple years ago the Jaguars upset the Colts in week 1 and created a bit of a hype train for themselves!
…they proceeded to finish the season 1-15. Week 1 isn’t the end all-be all of the season.
So let’s get back to the games!
Week 2 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – DALLAS over New York Jets – Wow, welcome back to reality Jets fans!
15 – DENVER over Washington – You don’t get to almost lose to the Cardinals at home one week and win on the road the next…even if it is against the Broncos.
14 – PHILADELPHIA over Minnesota – No I don’t think that last week showed the true Vikings, just bad timing that they are part of the Eagles’ home opener.
13 – DETROIT over Seattle – Asterisk or no asterisk, the Lions beat Patrick Mahomes in Arrowhead!
12 – PITTSBURGH over Cleveland – Sure this may seem a bit high, but I think last week was more about how good the 9ers are rather than the Steelers being bad.
11 – BUFFALO over Las Vegas – Safe to say the Bills have a lot of anger to take out on the Raiders this week.
10 – New Orleans over CAROLINA – It was a struggle for a team in the NFC South to finish above .500 last season…no real reason to think that will change this year.
9 – TAMPA BAY over Chicago – OK, maybe competing for the division title is at least another year away for these young Bears.
8 – CINCINNATI over Baltimore – I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Joe Burrow will hit triple digits in passing yards this week. That’s not even the Bold Prediction!
7 – Miami over NEW ENGLAND – HERE’S the Bold Prediction – my BOLD PREDICTION for the week is that with an off-season of Bills and Jets hype, THE DOLPHINS WILL WIN THE AFC EAST.
6 – New York Giants over ARIZONA – Keeping with the theme, I still believe the Giants are better than the 40-0 score from last week and can even beat the Cardinals.
5 – Los Angeles Chargers over TENNESSEE – The Titans just don’t have enough offensive firepower to keep up with the Chargers. Weird to say for an offense that includes Derrick Henry and DeAndre Hopkins.
4 – JACKSONVILLE over Kansas City – AFC Championship preview? In the same stadium?
3 – Indianapolis over HOUSTON – This game will happen … follow along if you want.
2 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over San Francisco – If the Rams really are back, this will be the test.
1 - Green Bay over ATLANTA – Is Jordan Love for real or did he just play the Bears? Let’s find out!

Week 2 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – PHILADEPHIA over Atlanta – Seems like another season of disappointment headed to Atlanta this year.
15 – BALTIMORE over Las Vegas – (looks at my watch patiently waiting for Aiden O’Connell to take over for the Raiders)
14 – WASHINGTON over New York Giants – So we’re just gonna add Benny Hill music in the background of any time the Giants are on offense, right?
13 – DALLAS over New Orleans – The Cowboys are playing angry and will be a force to be reckoned with … you know … until the playoffs.
12 – KANSAS CITY over Cincinnati – If you lose at home to the Patriots, you’re not allowed to beat the Chiefs in Kansas City.
11 – HOUSTON over Chicago – Hopefully CJ Stroud can show Caleb Williams how to succeed as a rookie quarterback.
10 – Los Angeles Chargers over CAROLINA – Whoever is playing Carolina this season will be the best option for a fantasy football defense.
9 – DETROIT over Tampa Bay – Baker Mayfield is on fire…for one week
8 – JACKSONVILLE over Cleveland – Buyers remorse? My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that DESHAUN WATSON WILL BE BENCHED BY WEEK 12.
7 – MIAMI over Buffalo – Sooooo many Miami PD jokes just speeding through my hea…ope, just got slammed to the street by the Miami PD!
6 – Seattle over NEW ENGLAND – The big win last week made me, well, not put a Patriots loss higher on this list.
5 – San Francisco over MINNESOTA – Can anyone deny the validity of the Madden Curse anymore?
4 – TENNESSEE over New York Jets – I repeat, the Jets are overrated!
3 – ARIZONA over Los Angeles Rams – I, for one, would be excited if Marvin Harrison Jr. were on my team. To each their own though … apparently.
2 – Indianapolis over GREEN BAY – The Colts catch a break with Jordan Love going down last week.
1 – Pittsburgh over DENVER – This will be ugly – take the under.
