KGs Week 1 picks!

Well, things got off to a good start for me as the Saints beat the Vikes, so I'm 1-0 for the season. I'll take my undefeated record and go home! Just like that guy who wins the first hand of poker and says that he'll cash out now. Nah, just kidding. Here we go with the rest of my week 1 picks!

Denver @ Jacksonville: I have to say that I have no idea what the Broncos are going to be able to do this year. Jacksonville is in a rather pivotal season for their franchise as well. Jacksonville has made some decent defensive upgrades, but the Broncos offense may be a bit better by subtraction of a cancerous personality. Orton is playing great, but there is no running game to speak of for the Broncs. This season may very well be the beginning of the end of the boy king, depending on how the Broncos do. I think the team believes enough in Orton right now, that the Broncos manage to squeak by, but just barely.

Oakland @ Tennessee: Oakland has a better QB, but let's face it. We could put a golden retriever in the Raiders huddle and they would still be better than J. Russell, am I right? Titans win this one, no real issues.

Carolina @ NY Giants: Life after Jake Delhomme may be rough for the Panthers. They still have that dynamic running duo, and we are all going to have to see how the G-men bounce back from last year's disappointing season. I think they start strong at home and beat the Panthers.

Indianapolis @ Houston: NFL.com folks seem to think Houston may take this, but until Houston actually manages to hold one of those leads and not allow a miracle come back to the Colts time after time, I will always have to take the Colts over them. Manning just knows how to beat these guys.

Atlanta @ Pittsburgh: First off, I love the nickname that A-Mac has given to Big Ben. I'm going to steal it, it's happening. Without "She Said No" (see, how can you not love this?) the Steelers are not the same on offense. Atlanta is still a pretty darn good team, and they will take Pitt out in this one.

Miami @ Buffalo: Buffalo may win 2 games this year, this will not be one of them. Fins.

Detroit @ Chicago: Chicago is older, maybe a bit wiser in regards to pampers sponsor for life Jay Cutler. Detroit has a much better running back this year, and Stafford will continue to grow this year. We may see a rather respectable, but not playoff bound, Lions team this year. It'll be a close game, but I think Cutler will keep making a few more mistakes, and help the Lions on to a win.

Cincinnati @ New England: Cinci is a team on the rise, New England is a team getting older. That being said, they almost never lose at home early in the year. I'll take the Pats.

Cleveland @ Tampa Bay: **flush** Toilet bowl! I'm interested to see what Mike Holmgren is able to bring to the Browns as GM. He's a winner, and probably a hall of famer in the making as a coach, but can he turn around one of the worst franchises in recent history? He might be able to, but it will be a process. I'll take the better quarterback in this one, which is definitely Delhomme. Browns in a...who cares.

San Francisco @ Seattle: Seattle has fallen far, and San Fran is on the rise. Mike Singletary will probably be coach of the year this year, in my opinion, and they will start off a pretty strong season with a beat down of the Seahawks.

Green Bay @ Philly: Green Bay is primed for some good things this year. They will beat Philly.

Arizona @ St. Louis: St. Louis is very lucky to have a great running back to help the rookie sensation stay comfy. The Cards defense has been very underrated the last few years, and I think that they will be stout against what is still a very bad team. Even though good old Enos is now owning the Rams, the Cards will take this one.

Dallas @ Washington: This could be a hell of a game here. The skins are much improved, though we don't know if McNabb will play. The Cowboys always seem to be loaded with potential, but never really live up to it. McNabb will probably play, because he's a tough tough guy, and his experience pushes the Skins over their nemesis in week one. This division will probably come down to these two teams, in my opinion.

Baltimore @ NY Jets: It's a good thing that the early game on Monday night will be the one that everybody can watch, because this will clearly be the good one of the two. 2 great defenses, and 2 really good young quarterbacks. Flacco has some new weapons, but the Jets probably have the best secondary in the game, especially now that the Reevis situation has been figured out. I'll take the Jets in a low scoring thriller.

San Diego @ Kansas City: Why would this get put on Monday night of opening weekend? Chargers beat down the Chiefs hard.

Excited to get this kicked off, and to let all of you watch as A-Mac and I go head to head every week with these picks. Let us know yours! Leave comments, subscribe, and check out the vlog pages!
