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!
