Seven months. Seven…long…months. We’ve had to go seven months without football!
No more though! Football is back!
We are just hours away from the Super Bowl Champion Eagles kicking the seas…wait, is that right? Eagles? No, yeah, they’re telling me that’s right…weird! With the return of football comes the return of the confidence pool! Have no fear, we are back for another year of picks to help you win your pool…you’re welcome, by the way!
We’ve been waiting long enough, so let’s get to it!
Week 1 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – NEW ENGLAND over Houston – Yes they lost the Super Bowl, but they’re still the Patriots.
15 – BALTIMORE over Buffalo – It seems to me that the Bills may end up being one of the worst teams in recent memory that made the playoffs last year.
14 – GREEN BAY over Chicago – Yes Khalil Mack has been added to the list of legendary Bear defenders. But the only difference it will make in Green Bay is dropping them from the 16 point line.
13 – CAROLINA over Dallas – If Dak Prescott throws a pass and there are almost literally NO Cowboys there to catch it, did he really throw a pass? Zeke is going to have to do a lot this season.
12 – NEW ORLEANS over Tampa Bay – The Saints would have been favored to win big here even if the Bucs had Jameis Winston playing…but they don’t…so it will be bad.
11 – MINNESOTA over San Francisco – The Vikings look ready to make a run this year. My BOLD PREDICTION for week 1 is that THE VIKINGS WILL REPRESENT THE NFC IN THE SUPER BOWL THIS SEASON.
10 – DETROIT over New York Jets – I think that Sam Darnold will be the most successful quarterback of the 2018 draft class. But as of now, he still has these Jets around him.
9 – Pittsburgh over CLEVELAND – The apparently never ending Le’Veon Bell saga is the only reason the Steelers are not listed higher here.
8 – Seattle over DENVER – If you’re looking for points, look no further … … … than ANY other game but this one!
7 – PHILADELPHIA over Atlanta – Actually heard people say that the Falcons are lucky that they’ll play against Nick Foles instead of Carson Wentz. Yeah, ask the Patriots how well that worked out a few months back!
6 – Los Angeles Rams over OAKLAND – Loss of a franchise defensive player…city probably suing the team…off-season momentum not exactly on the side of the Raiders.
5 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Kansas City – A lot of people have the Chargers getting over the hurdle and winning the AFC West. No better way to show they can do it than by taking out the defending division champions.
4 – Tennessee over MIAMI – Week 1 and we already have a strong candidate for what can be seen as the least exciting game of the year.
3 – INDIANAPOLIS over Cincinnati – Don’t sleep on the Colts this year. If the running game can stay consistent they could fight for a Wild Card spot.
2 – Washington over ARIZONA – Here we have a game with two former #1 pick quarterbacks going head-to-head. Unfortunately those quarterbacks are Sam Bradford and Alex Smith.
1 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Jacksonville – The Jaguars are the sexy Super Bowl pick this year. But I see the road getting off to a bumpy start.
Please wait...
