NFL Season (My overview for week one)
Well it's that time of year again. This has to be the most exciting time for sports. MLB is almost over, thank God. NHL will soon begin, NCAA football is now into it's second week and best of all the NFL season has begun. If your like me and have decided to spend your Sunday afternoons on the couch, rather then with God, then this is for you.
Here's my overview of the week one match-ups.
Bengals VS Ravens
Well if this year is any reflection upon last years season, both teams will struggle. I believe neither team has improved much. A new head coach for Baltimore won't do anything to save their pathetic offense, or lack there of. How could a team that has the 6th best defense do so poorly? I can't believe I'm even talking about this match up. Bengals (Bungles) win because they can score, bottom line.
Final score: 24 - 13 Bengals
Jets VS Dolphins
Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Favre won't be the God send Jets fans are hoping for. Normally this match up wouldn't catch my attention but the drama behind it will make this game, must see TV. For those not familiar with NFL football, the Jets signed Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Farve while in turn dropping Chad what's his name Pennington. Now what makes this interesting is that Pennington is not the starting quarterback for the Dolphins. I'm sure he's love to stick to his old team in week one but I don't see it happening with a revamped Dolphins team.
Final score: 17 - 6 Jets-Jets-Jets
Chiefs VS Patriots
Hmmm... no need to talk about this game.
Final score: To much to not enough. Pats
Texans VS Steelers
Though to call. The Texans are much improved and their run defense will give the Steelers running game trouble. I believe we better get ready for a low scoring game. This game screams ball control. BORING!
Final score: 20 - 17 OT Texans
Lions VS Falcons
Well... both teams suck. This will be a game of mistakes and poor blocking.
Final score: 28 - 16 Lions
Seahawks VS Bills
My first thought was a close typical Buffalo Bills style game. You know the one where they blow the lead in the final minutes of the 4th quarter? However this time will be different. The Seahawks have many injuries and we all know how well they do on the road. Meanwhile the Bills are much improved.
Final score: 24 - 17 Bills
Bucs VS Saints
This is a grinders match. I think the Saints will play into the Bucs style. I know alot of people have the Saints as a playoff team and semi contender, but I don't see it. If Garcia doesn't turn the ball over the Saints will be in tough.
Final score: 34 - 27 Bucs
Rams VS Eagles
Another boring game I won't be watching.
Final score: 27 - 20 Eagles
Cowboys VS Browns
Disspite what people say, the Browns still suck.
Final score 34 - 10 Cowboys
Panthers VS Chargers
Well the only reason I'll watch this game, is to wait until Shawn the Juice boy blows out his knee and has his career come to a end. What a dumb guy. As far as the game goes, no Steve "I punch my teammates in the face" Smith equals no win.
Final score: 30 - 14 Chargers
Cardinals VS 49ers
BORING! BORING BORING!
Final score: 17 - 9 Cardinals
Bears VS Colts
Well this will be a previous Super bowl rematch with the same result. Kyle Orton will get the start and the Bears will turn the ball over a lot. Manning won't be 100%, but he won't need to put up much.
Final score: 28 - 10 Colts
Well folks I won't be adding the Monday night double header just yet, as I'd like to go more in depth with those games. Also on a side note, depending on how good or bad my picks are I will hopefully do this each week.
If anyone out there thinks they can pick better games, I want to see it. And Yes this might be a challenge.















Interesting picks
I'm interested to see how well you do with your picks. The first week of the NFL season is always the hardest to call.
Yikes. .500 isn't all that bad
Looks like you went 6 for 12. Batting .500 isn't to bad. I noticed you forgot to post your picks for monday nights game. Probably better off you didn't end up posting that. Oh well. Better luck next week...
.500 isn't bad
Can you do better? .500 isn't all that bad. I see so called pro's calling games with results less then .500. Next week I garentee .750 thats my word...
Mo knows Football
Your picks were weak son. Let Mo show ya how to do it.
