Giants 31 – saints 27

• both wide receiver groups will have huge games especially Odell beckham

• the Giants really addressed their defense, while the saints defense is still bad.

• drew Brees seems the have elis number, but the Giants win today.

Lions 34 – Titans 20

Packers 27 – Jaguars

• the packers issues from last year are still here and Jordy Nelson can’t solve all of them

• packers will heavily rely on Rodgers again

• the browns have the worst roster in the NFL

• the fact that the Browns passed on wentz and he beats them badly week 1 is hilarious to me.

Buccaneers 31 – falcons 24

• Jameis Winston will be a top 5 quarterback in the NFL for sure.

• the bucs will be a big threat to the panthers.

• devonta freeman is very overrated

• the falcons cant generate a pass rush to save there life

• the bucs did whatever they wanted in the passing game throughout the game.

Vikings 25- Titans 16

• Titans are at least another year away

•  Marcus mariota was a disaster

• so was the Titans defense

Bengals 23 – jets 22

• AJ green destroyed darelle revis.

• Ryan Fitzpatrick had his struggles.

• Nick folk also had big issues.

• spencer ware might just be a great running back.

•  the AFC west may just be just the Broncos and the raiders to win.

Seahawks 12 – Dolphins 10

• Russell Wilson has to save the Seahawks once again.

• the Seahawks constantly play down the competition.

• the Dolphins defense was also stout

• so I guess he is unfixable.

giants 20- cowboys 19

• Terrance Williams is a moron

• the Giants defense looks as good as it’s offense.

• Eli manning is in mid season form.

• Give odell the damn ball!

• the dline is a top 5 unit in football.

• dak Prescott is solid, but why he won’t win a lot of games is because he doesn’t take risks downfield like romo does.

Lions 39 – colts 35

49ers 28 – Rams 0

• look at the score…..

• Rams offense sucked

• 49er defense looked sharp

Giants 23- Cowboys 20: I think giants go to Dallas and steal one. Dak won’t be as good as advertised and Eli- Odell and new defense will get it done.

Colts 30 – Lions 27: I think Andrew Luck and Matthew Stafford have field days. But I think the home team pulls it out.

Seahawks 35 – Dolphins 17: please, the Seahawks aren’t losing this game.

Cardinals 27 – patriots 20: the pats had a while to prepare and still have a great defense but the cardinals are too talented.

Redskins 26- steelers 24: the steelers are better but on the road without Le’veon bell.

Saints 35- raiders 31: this is going to be a high scoring game with two big time offenses but I think the saints pull out the upset in the high scoring affair.

Eagles 20 – Browns 17: both these teams are terrible. I think this is whoever plays worse will lose. I think this is a low scoring defensive battle that the Eagles win late

Titans 17 – Vikings 14: same thing as the Eagles game. This will be low scoring, boring, and a lot of running. Titans start the season with a win.

Chiefs 27 – chargers 20: yes a lot of the Chiefs key players are out. But they are virtually impossible to beat in arrowhead, and Andy Reid will have the team ready.

Jets 24 – bengals 21: bengals are missing weapons on offense so there only real proven guy is AJ green. The defense is still great, but I think the jets come out hyped up in front of there home crowd and steal one late.

Falcons 23 – bucs 20: the Falcons always start out hot and then cool off. I think Julio will be too much of a mismatch even though I love the bucs and Winston this year.

Ravens 27 – bills 23: this game will be close but the Ravens are home so I’ll go with them. Plus the bills don’t seem too buttoned up so ill go with the better coach.

 

Texans 30- bears 23: the Texans have looked really good with all there new acquisitions plus JJ watt is playing so I like the Texans at home.

Packeds 31- Jaguars 20: Rodgers> bortles
