Guess who’s back! Back again! Um…well…it’s me!

 

More so than that, it’s football!

 

I think we all should take a moment to thank college football for providing an adequate couple of weeks of televised football to hold us over…but we are all ready for that first Sunday!

 

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 – WASHINGTON over New York Giants – I think it’s really telling of the gap in the NFC East that…

 

15 – PHILADELPHIA over Dallas – …their two division matchups sit at the top of our sheet this week.

 

14 – DENVER over Tennessee – I like Cam Ward…but not when his debut includes Patrick Surtain

 

13 – Cincinnati over CLEVELAND – The Bengals will need to put up 45 points a game to compensate for their defense … a game against the Browns should be good practice.

 

12 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Houston – The Rams season will depend on the dependability of Matthew Stafford’s heath

 

11 – JACKSONVILLE over Carolina – Let’s be honest, the only things we are all looking at in this game is Travis Hunter.  

 

10 – Pittsburgh over NEW YORK JETS – It’s the Aaron Rodgers Bowl! Yeah that’s about as exciting as this game will be.

 

9 – Miami over INDIANAPOLIS – Remember what I said about Matthew Stafford? Yeah, that, but for  Tyreek

 

8 – Tampa Bay over ATLANTA – I don’t know what to call the opposite of the BOLD PREDICTION, but Tampa will win the NFC South this year.

 

7 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Kansas City – Wind of change blowing? The first BOLD PREDICTION of the year is that THE CHIEFS AFC WEST CHAMPIONSHIP STREAK COMES TO AN END THIS SEASON.

 

6 – SEATTLE over San Francisco – It will be interesting to see what Sam Darnold can do without Justin Jefferson

 

5 – Las Vegas over NEW ENGLAND – New season, same ol’ homer picks : )

 

4 – Arizona over NEW ORLEANS –  This game will happen…so…there’s that.

 

3 – BUFFALO over Baltimore – A win here will go a long way towards a home game in the inevitable January rematch.

 

2 – GREEN BAY over Detroit – I think it’s really telling of how close the NFC North will be that…

 

1 – Minnesota over CHICAGO – …their two division matchups sit at the bottom of our sheet this week.

I’ve been following sports and wrestling since I can remember. Not too much, aside from my family, gives me as much joy as watching my Raiders, Blackhawks, Bulls, White Sox or WWE. Add in some honey Jack to sip on and that’s the equation for a perfect evening!
