Just when you think you have things figured out, you get a big WEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL!
That pretty much sums up the first week of every NFL season. We have an off-season full of time to put together our expectations on what we will see. Then the curveballs…
“This is it – the Browns are back! They will easily find their way to a division title and maybe even a Super Bowl berth!”
WEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL!
“After an off-season of the Double-Doink looming over their heads, the Bears are hungrier than ever and could make a Super Bowl run of their own!”
WEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL!
It doesn’t look like things will get any easier as we have a strong slate of even matchups this week. But, someone has to make the predictions!
Week 2 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – BALTIMORE over Arizona – The Ravens looked unstoppable last week, but that was against the Dolphins. Lucky for the competition doesn’t exactly make too much of a jump this week.
15 – HOUSTON over Jacksonville – The Texans defense will have something to prove after last week. A home debut against a rookie backup starting QB should do the trick.
14 – CAROLINA over Tampa Bay – If you haven’t figured it out yet, this game will be another example as to why it’s time for the Bucs to move on from Jameis Winston.
13 – New England over MIAMI – The Dolphins have typically played the Pats tough in Miami. But, I mean, come on…
12 – TENNESSEE over Indianapolis – It’s safe to say that no one expected the Titans to perform the way they did in Cleveland last week. Look for them to keep that momentum going in their home debut.
11 – GREEN BAY over Minnesota – This game will be pretty similar to week 1 for the Packers – low-scoring against a top defense, but Aaron Rodgers is able to pull one out.
10 – Dallas over WASHINGTON – The Cowboys embarrassed the Giants enough last week that we got our first glimpse of a first round QB…that may happen again this week.
9 – Los Angeles Chargers over DETROIT – Melvin who?
8 – Seattle over PITTSBURGH – It doesn’t look like Juju will pan out as a #1 WR the way he did a #2. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is the THE STEELERS WILL FINISH LAST IN THE AFC NORTH THIS SEASON.
7 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over New Orleans – I, for one, can’t wait for the first pass interference called in this NFC Championship Game rematch!
6 – Kansas City over OAKLAND – The Raiders proved that their offense doesn’t need AB, but the young defense may not be able to stop the Chiefs enough.
5 – Cleveland over NEW YORK JETS – After an off-season of expectations, the Browns NEED this Monday Night win!
4 – CINCINNATI over San Francisco – The Bengals showed some signs of life in Seattle last week. Look for them to keep that going.
3 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Buffalo – Random observation, the Bills will start the season with two road games in the same stadium…
2 – ATLANTA over Philadelphia – The Falcons are that team that you know you should go against…but you also know that once you do, they’ll play the best game of their season.
1 – DENVER over Chicago – I think it’s safe to say that the Bears offense isn’t ready to go up against the Broncos defense in Dever
Please wait...
