Week 1 is in the books and it taught us, well, nothing.
 
One week does not a whole season make – that being said, opening weekend gave us plenty of drama, and room for improvement after a .500 week
 
So let’s get at it!
 
Week 2 – HERE WE GO!!!!
 
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
 
16 – GREEN BAY over Detroit – On the bright side, the Lions won’t have the opportunity to blow a 17 point 4th quarter lead this week!
 
15 – TENNESSEE over Jacksonville – I said the Jags would only win one game this year – well the Panthers once won their first game and lost the rest…so I still can be right.
 
14 – PITTSBURGH over Denver – The Denver offense just isn’t good enough to do anything against this Steelers defense.
 
13 – TAMPA BAY over Carolina – I said I wasn’t buying the Tampa Bay hype…that doesn’t mean I don’t think they are a good team!
 
12 – Kansas City over LOS ANGELES CHARGERS – The Chiefs are a great team, but the biggest thing we learned in that game was how disgusting their fans are. If you boo unity,  you shouldn’t be allowed inside an NFL stadium! 
 
11 – SEATTLE over New England – This will be the first real look at the post-Tom Patriots.
 
10 – San Francisco over NEW YORK JETS – The Jets offense was questionable at best before losing Le’Veon Bell and Jamison Crowder to injury.
 
9 – ARIZONA over Washington – Arizona proved a lot last week. My BOLD PREDICTION for this is week is that even with Seattle and San Francisco, THE CARDINALS WILL WIN THE NFC WEST.
 
8 – DALLAS over Atlanta – The Cowboys are one bad call away from being 1-0, they’ll have a lot of anger to let out this week.
 
7 – Buffalo over MIAMI – It’s the home opener for the Dolphins but with no fans. So, you know, just another game. 
 
6 – Baltimore over HOUSTON – David Johnson looked surprisingly solid in his Texan debut, but my goodness do the Ravens look good!
 
5 – Minnesota over INDIANAPOLIS –  I think last week was more the Colts showing they won’t be good this year than that Jaguars showing they will be good.
 
4 – LAS VEGAS over New Orleans – The Michael Thomas injury is a huge shot of luck for the Raiders Vegas debut.
 
3 – CHICAGO over New  York Giants – Mitchell Trubisky played 15 minutes of football that Bears’ fans having been waiting years for! 
 
2 – CLEVELAND over Cincinnati – I feel that the Bengals are closer to being the team the Browns were supposed to be last year than the Browns are. 
 
1 – PHILADELPHIA over Los Angeles Rams – Blowing a lead against Washington should give you something to play for. This game will tell us a lot about the 2020 Eagles.
