This will be my first entry into a 17-week series. Every Sunday, prior to game time, I’ll release my list of predictions for the slate of Sunday & Monday games. Each week I’ll tally up the wins and losses. At the end of the season, I’ll tally up my total and release my overall record. Let’s do this…
New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills
Winner – New England
Tom Brady will be too much for Buffalo to handle.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Carolina Panthers
Winner – Seattle
I think it’ll be a close game, but the Seahawks will separate from the Panthers down the stretch.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Chicago Bears
Winner – Cincinnati
The Bengals high-octane offense will be hard to stop. I predict Marc Trestman gets a loss in his debut as an NFL coach.
Miami Dolphins vs. Cleveland Browns
Winner – Miami
Miami’s off-season spending spree pays off as they defeat Cleveland in week 1.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions
Winner – Detroit
Reggie Bush & Megatron go off against Minnesota. Detroit starts the season 1-0.
Oakland Raiders vs. Indianapolis Colts
Winner – Indianapolis
This Oakland team is absolutely horrible. I’d be shocked if they win more than 4 games this year.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Winner – Kansas City
Andy Reid will win his KC debut against a weak Jacksonville team.
Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints
Winner – New Orleans
This game could go either way, so I’ll take the home team.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New York Jets
Winner – Tampa Bay
Always pick against the Jets….unless they’re playing the Raiders.
Tennessee Titans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Winner – Pittsburgh
This Pittsburgh team isn’t what it used to be. But they still have Roethlisberger, and that should be enough.
Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers
Winner – Green Bay
Do you think the Packers forgot about that brutal playoff loss? I sure don’t. Aaron Rodgers will get his revenge today as Green Bay edges out the 49ers.
Arizona Cardinals vs. St. Louis Rams
Winner – Arizona
Palmer and Fitzgerald show off their chemistry and get out of St. Louis with a win.
New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys
Winner – New York
The Giants are undefeated in AT&T stadium. I think that trend continues today.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins
Winner – Washington
Operation patience pays off and RG3 puts on a show against Philly.
Houston Texans vs. San Diego Chargers
Winner – Texans
The Texans passing offense will be too much for the Chargers to handle. Houston is just too good to be beaten by San Diego in week 1.
