Folk, give yourselves a round of applause! We all did it!!
We have all gotten through the pain and torment that is the annual six to seven month period of our lives that does NOT include football!
Yes, we got a small taste of football with a full college schedule this past weekend. But, I mean, come on! There’s nothing like a full Sunday of the NFL.
I don’t know about you, but I’d say that it’s been LONG enough, let’s get back at it!
Week 1 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – NEW ORLEANS over Carolina – Well Panthers fans, at least after this miserable season, you’ll still have your first round pick to look forward to!
15 – CINCINNATI over New England – The Patriots have nothing around the quarterback right now – its smart to sit Drake Maye until they can get him some help. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that once the season ends…THE PATRIOTS WILL BE ON THE CLOCK WITH THE FIRST PICK IN THE DRAFT.
14 – BUFFALO over ARIZONA – With everyone that was lost over the off-season, this could be the make or break season for Josh Allen’s career.
13 – MIAMI over Jacksonville – Take the over on this one!
12 – SAN FRANCISCO over New York Jets – I’m not buying the Jets hype at all. They’ll comfortably finish third in the AFC East.
11 – SEATTLE over Denver – Well at least the Broncos were able to get away from Russell Wilson …
10 – ATLANTA over Pittsburgh – …well unfortunately the Steelers were not able to get away from Russell Wilson.
9 – KANSAS CITY over Baltimore – Hard to see the Chiefs making the same Thursday Night home opener mistake that they made last season.
8 – CHICAGO over Tennessee – I am fully on board the Bears hype train. No Super Bowl yet, but improvement and maybe even the playoffs.
7 – DETROIT over Los Angeles Rams – We are going into a season where the Lions are expected to make the playoffs … this is weird!
6 – Green Bay over PHILADELPHIA – Why can’t we just get an extended period of the Packers not having a potential MVP candidate quarterback??
5 – Las Vegas over LOS ANGELES CHARGERS – The Raiders put up 63 points on the Chargers the last time they played – maybe brining in Jim Harbaugh will be able to keep that number in the low 40s this time around.
4 – Houston over INDIANAPOLIS – This time last year I made a comment about how rough a year the Texans were going to have last season … … … I’d like to apologize.
3 – Dallas over CLEVELAND – This just seems like one of those games you expect the Cowboys to blow but escape with a win somehow.
2 – WASHIGNTON over TAMPA BAY – The Texans last year made a huge jump behind the play of their rookie quarterback – that will sound familiar this year.
1 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Minnesota – Another year of keeping the Giants on the one-point line if you think they are going to win.
