Week 1 is in the books and it taught us, well, nothing.
One week does not a whole season make – that being said, opening weekend gave us plenty of drama, and room for improvement after a .500 week
So let’s get at it!
Week 2 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – GREEN BAY over Detroit – On the bright side, the Lions won’t have the opportunity to blow a 17 point 4th quarter lead this week!
15 – TENNESSEE over Jacksonville – I said the Jags would only win one game this year – well the Panthers once won their first game and lost the rest…so I still can be right.
14 – PITTSBURGH over Denver – The Denver offense just isn’t good enough to do anything against this Steelers defense.
13 – TAMPA BAY over Carolina – I said I wasn’t buying the Tampa Bay hype…that doesn’t mean I don’t think they are a good team!
12 – Kansas City over LOS ANGELES CHARGERS – The Chiefs are a great team, but the biggest thing we learned in that game was how disgusting their fans are. If you boo unity, you shouldn’t be allowed inside an NFL stadium!
11 – SEATTLE over New England – This will be the first real look at the post-Tom Patriots.
10 – San Francisco over NEW YORK JETS – The Jets offense was questionable at best before losing Le’Veon Bell and Jamison Crowder to injury.
9 – ARIZONA over Washington – Arizona proved a lot last week. My BOLD PREDICTION for this is week is that even with Seattle and San Francisco, THE CARDINALS WILL WIN THE NFC WEST.
8 – DALLAS over Atlanta – The Cowboys are one bad call away from being 1-0, they’ll have a lot of anger to let out this week.
7 – Buffalo over MIAMI – It’s the home opener for the Dolphins but with no fans. So, you know, just another game.
6 – Baltimore over HOUSTON – David Johnson looked surprisingly solid in his Texan debut, but my goodness do the Ravens look good!
5 – Minnesota over INDIANAPOLIS – I think last week was more the Colts showing they won’t be good this year than that Jaguars showing they will be good.
4 – LAS VEGAS over New Orleans – The Michael Thomas injury is a huge shot of luck for the Raiders Vegas debut.
3 – CHICAGO over New York Giants – Mitchell Trubisky played 15 minutes of football that Bears’ fans having been waiting years for!
2 – CLEVELAND over Cincinnati – I feel that the Bengals are closer to being the team the Browns were supposed to be last year than the Browns are.
1 – PHILADELPHIA over Los Angeles Rams – Blowing a lead against Washington should give you something to play for. This game will tell us a lot about the 2020 Eagles.
For the first time in weeks all 32 teams will be playing this week (obviously barring any COVID related news stories in the next few days) With that comes the chance for more points so let’s cushion our lead in the season long pools!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! To take a short break from the football mentality, I do want to let you know that I am thankful to those that follow along with me and read my stuff – thank you!
OK…back to FOOTBALL!
Week 12 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – BUFFALO over Los Angeles Chargers – Unfortunately for the Chargers, the Jets are not the only AFC East team they have to play this year.
15 – GREEN BAY over Chicago – This pick will depend on whether the Bears decide on Foles or Trubiski to be under center (pause for laughter)
14 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over San Francisco – Wow the Rams are looking like a lot to handle down the stretch.
13 – Cleveland over JACKSONVILLE – Mike Glennon will start for the Jags on Sunday…ok.
12 – Miami over NEW YORK JETS – When was the last time we saw both the Browns and Dolphins listed this high on road games…as the winners?
11 – PITTSBURGH over Baltimore – COVID issues on the Ravens offense make me put this game up a few lines than it normally would be.
10 – INDIANAPOLIS over Tennessee – I think the win over a hot Packers team is what the Colts needed to solidify their place on top of the AFC South.
9 – Seattle over PHILADELPHIA – A game against the Eagles is just what a struggling team like Seattle needs.
8 – DETROIT over Houston – It’s such a 2020 thing when the Thanksgiving where spending time and communicating with your loved ones is frowned upon…
7 – DALLAS over Washington – …that we get two day games that would make you want to turn the TV off and enjoy the family time a little more!
6 – Arizona over NEW ENGLAND – I have a feeling that the birds will be excited to get back on the field after their big loss to Seattle last week.
5 – Las Vegas over ATLANTA – The Falcons will come into this game already incredibly intimidated…not just because they have to play the Raiders, but because of that Derek Carr meme going around!
4 – Kansas City over TAMPA BAY – Vegas has show that if you can score a lot of points you can beat the Chiefs – Tom and friends don’t seem like they can score that much right now.
3 – MINNESOTA over Carolina – We’ll just call it this week’s “Because they are the home team” pick.
2 – New York Giants over CINCINNATI – You feel bad for Joe Burrow and the Bengals, but they are going to have another high draft pick to potentially build something special.
1 – DENVER over New Orleans – This could mark two wins in a row, but I still think change is coming. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is DENVER WILL SELECT A QUARTERBACK IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE DRAFT.
