The NFL seasons kick off this evening. For those of you that are new to this blog you need to know that on Thursday I make my weekly NFL predictions. It’s a detour from the normal posting at Borrowed Light, so please indulge me as I have a ton of fun doing this.
It’s week 1 and I haven’t a clue about any of these teams. Because I believe that watching preseason causes me to make stupid early trades and pickups for my Fantasy Football team, I made a vow to watch zero preseason games. I accomplished that goal. Now I’m even more clueless in my week 1 picks. But that won’t stop me from trying:
Denver over Baltimore
New England over Buffalo
Chicago over Cincinnati
Cleveland over Miami
Atlanta over New Orleans
Tampa Bay over NY Jets
Pittsburgh over Tennessee
Detroit over Minnesota
Indianapolis over Oakland
Carolina over Seattle (upset of the week)
Kansas City over Jacksonville
St. Louis over Arizona
Green Bay over San Francisco
NY Giants over Dallas
Washington over Philadelphia
Houston over San Diego
Fantasy stud of the week: Matt Ryan
Fantasy sleeper of the week: Patrick Edwards (Lions, WR)
Other Crazy Picks:
Peyton throws for 350 and 4 TDs
3 TDs for Matt Forte
Steven Jackson leaves early with a groin injury
2 Defensive TD’s for the Bucs, and 5 INT’s
Patrick Edwards’ line 6/88/2 TD
Carolina actually blows out the Seahawks
Vick looks sharp in the first half, blows it in the second
Leading rusher this week is Jamaal Charles
Matt Ryan outguns Drew Brees, Falcons win on a goal-line stand
4 Turnovers and a blown knee for Carson Palmer
A solid Tannehill can’t overcome T-Rich’s 210 all purpose yards and 2 scores
