NFL Week 1 Predictions

This is something I like to do for fun every football season. I pick a winner of each game week by week and give a bried explination of why I think that team is going to win. Take it for what it is and See how I do each week. Feel free to discuss any of the picks I make, I love a good Debate. :)


Thursday
NO VS MIN
Winner: NO

I know this game was already played,but I had NO winning it anyways. Believe me or dont idc :)


Sunday

CAR VS NYG
Winner: NYG

A lot of analysts think that Carolina has the potential to over come the Giants,but I think that the Giants more balanced attack on offense and Home Field gives them the advantage in this one. CAR QB Matt Moore hasn't impressed me enough to worry about CAR's passing game, but the two Headed beast of Williams/Stewart is always formidable.

ATL VS PIT
Winner: Atlanta

Atlanta has made some quiet moves this off-season to improve their Defense and their offense is already prolific. As big a fan of Dennis Dixon as I am, ultimately he is still a yound developing QB in this league. This will be a tough fought game and I see it being decided by less than 7.

CLE VS TB
Winner: CLE

This is really is a toss up of 2 bad teams. Cleveland Has Jake Delhomme who looked on point this pre season and I think that gives them the advantage over TB. Cle's Defense also showed flashes last season of being stout with a decent secondary that could make TB easily on dimensional.

DEN VS JAX
Winner: DEN

For as many problems as the Broncos have had this off-season with injuries I still think they are better than a rebuilding Jacksonville team. Orton/Gaffney will be a good combination and Moreno/Buckhalter will be playing against an untested Jag's defense. I hope Kirk Morrison has a great season in FL.

IND VS TEX
Winner: TEX

This is probably my boldest prediction and I think I may be completely wrong going against Peyton in the Opener. However, the Texans offense is scary at times and now with emergence of Arian Foster at the RB position I think it will be a complete shoot out with whoever has the ball last winning.

MIA VS BUF
Winner: MIA

Buffalo has Spiller. Thats it.

DET VS CHI
Winner: DET

I honestly think DET is going to surprise a lot of people this season. They've been bad for so long and now how some serious offense about to happen. With Suh in the middle and a rebuilt defense. This could bring some excitement back to detroit. Chicago showed me nothing this preseason to put my worries about their inexperienced WR's Corp and poor offensive line play is a big concern for me

OAK VS TEN
Winner: OAK

Call me Biased and you may see this a lot as I RARELY choose against my team ;) (it's bad luck) As far as Football talk goes. For the Raiders to win this Game they need to "contain" Chris Johnson. There really is not way to completely stop a back like that, but if they can prevent the 80 yard TD runs they should be able to win the opener. Jason Campbell will be ready to go and the Tenn pass D is Weak.

CIN VS NE
Winner: CIN

T.O, Ocho, Shipley and Jermain Gresham will prove to be too much for NEs beat up secondary. It will be a shoot out, but the Bengals ruin Welkers miraculous comeback.

ARI VS STL
Winner: ARI

Even with the major depatures from the desert, they still have a high powered offensive attack the Lambs wont be able to compete with. Derek Andersen was a Pro Bowler a lot of people forget. Fitz will play opposite of Breaston, but the WR to watch is Doucet, I loved what I saw out of him last season.

SF VS STL
Winner: SF

Something tells me SEA is going to be a better team than a lot expect. I think Pete Carrol is going to turn that franchise around and my friend Mike Gibson is getting his first start at Guard for them in his 3rd year in teh league, but the 9ers Defense is just going to be too much. I'm shakey on the Offense though behind Alex Smith, I'd honestly have more fiath in this team if Troy Smith ended up Starting for them.

GB Vs PHI
Winner: GB

Green bay is going to be a FORCE this season. A Rod and Co will outlast Philly's speedy Defense and out score their offense behind Kolb.

DAL VS WASH
Winner: WASH

Another "reach" (wink wink) according to everyone else, but remember last year Washingtons Defense was good just on the field too long. They've sured up their offensive line a bit and with McNabb running the show I dont put anything past this team right now. Dallas looked mediocre this preseason and until they prove they can get in sync with each other I dont see them having a great season

MONDAY NIGHT

GAME OF THE WEEK
BAL VS JETS
Winner: BAL

Nothin like a bunch of Trash talk to get the testosterone flowing right? This is going to be a hard fought defensive battle, but I give the Edge to the Ravens Offense. They just have too many weapons now with the addition of TJ. I think Sanchez sucks so thats why I think the Ravens come out on top.

SD VS KC
Winner: SD

KC has improved this off-season, but they arent really a match for the High Octane attack of the super chargers even without V.Jack. Look for Matthews to get 25 + Carries to grind out teh victory after Rivers inflates teh score.

I'll post back the results of each game and own had horrible I am at this lol.
