Prediction Time.....

Let's see how you match up against my picks for opening week.....I am not going to get into scores simply because the only thing that matters is the outcome and I am not here to help you win a bet with or without  the points. I do not do point spreads. It's not my thing. So...Here we go....The Panthers are in New York to face the Giants and will lose their first of many games this season. Giants win at home. The next game is intriguing the Colts must travel to Houston to face a much improved Texan team with something to prove. One reason the Texans like playing the Saints in pre-season is because they get to test out against a very similar team. This will go down to the wire but I'll go with the Texans at home to win. Falcons and Steelers...easy no Big Ben NO WIN....Falcons will win easily. Browns at Tampa Bay....2 very evenly matched teams but the Browns will have a spark with Jake Delomme at QB and win this one. Broncos at Jacksonville....Jaguars don't stand a chance. Broncos win. Miami at Buffalo...Bills still searching for right formula...Dolphins win. Lions on the road against Chicago and it is still warm outside which doesn't help the Bears. Lions upset the Bears at home.Raiders at Tennessee...Titans all over this with Chris Johnson getting over the 100 yard mark in the 1st half. Here is another good matchup the Bengals at New England. Although the Bengals are much improved so are the Patriots from last year. I going to lean to the Home Team. Patriots win in a close one. Packers at the Eagles. Eagles will put up a good fight in the 1st half then will succumb to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers potent offense in the 2nd half. Packers win. Cardinals at St.Louis....If he can stay healthy for a season Sam Bradford will have a pretty good year. Look for him to give the Rams the edge at home. Cardinals still searching for a QB. Rams win. 49ers at Seattle...Are you kidding me??? Singeltary will welcome Carroll back to the NFL with a beating. 49ers win.  The Cowboys have to open up on the road in Washington. Not a good thing when you are playing poorly. Look for the Redskins to give Mike Shanahan his 1st win with his new team. Ravens at the Jets for game one of Monday Night Football. The Rex Ryan led Jets are on a mission. Jets will give Ray Lewis another reason to retire. Jets win. Game two has the Chargers at Kansas City. Although the Chiefs have come a long way in the offseason with a good draft and free agent pick ups look for San Diego to be just too much offense for the Chiefs to handle. Chargers win.
