Welcome Back NFL! Week 1 Picks

After a bit of a long delay on this site, the NFL season is now back upon us which means it's time to get my weekly picks going yet again. So let the fun begin!

New Orleans @ Green Bay: Green Bay will open up the season on a positive note and win their first game as defending Super Bowl Champs.

Atlanta @ Chicago: Chicago still doesn't have an offensive line, and the Falcons are still very good. I think Atlanta gets their season started off the right way, and Jay Cutler gets re-introduced to the turf.

Cincinnati @ Cleveland: Cinci went from being a respectable team to pretty much nothing. No offense, no quarterback, and a weak defense. Cleveland and Peyton Hillis will run over the Bungles.

Buffalo @ Kansas City: KC won the AFC West last year and are a very good team. They will make short work of the Bills.

Philadelphia @ St. Louis: St. Louis got better this year, but Philly went NUTS. Philly is definitely the better team and will prove it early and often in this game.

Detroit @ Tampa Bay: Two teams that could surprise a lot of people this year. I think Detroit's young defense with Fairly and Suh leading the way will make a lot of trouble for Tampa, and Stafford will get megatron a few TDs in a win.

Tennessee @ Jacksonville: Tennessee has to rely on the ever injured Matt Hasselbeck at quarterback. Jacksonville is more complete of a team, and I think they'll take this first one.

Pittsburgh @ Baltimore: One of the best rivalries going today, the home team definitely has an advantage in these defensive battle. I'll take the Ravens.

Indianapolis @ Houston: No Peyton Manning always means trouble for the Colts. He's too important to the success of his team. Even if he does play, he won't be at 100%. Houston always gives the Colts fits, they will start off strong and beat Indy at home.

Carolina @ Arizona: Even with Cam Newton, Carolina stinks. He may be able to get them a few more points they wouldn't get otherwise, but Arizona is still better. Cards.

Minnesota @ San Diego: San Diego is favored big time in this game, but I think this is a prime time upset game. San Diego always starts slow and Norv Turner can do nothing about it it seems. Minnesota will take advantage of this and win game 1 of the Donovan McNabb era.

Seattle @ San Francisco: Seattle is just awful. Tavares Jackson won't solve anything. San Fran isn't much better, but they are better. Niners.

New York Giants @ Washington: Rex Grossman apparently likes where the Skins are, but he's the only one. The G-men take this one.

Dallas @ New York Jets: The Jets never get enough respect, all they've done is get to 2 AFC title games in a row and come up just short. They'll take the Cowboys down this time.

New England @ Miami: New England is too much.

Oakland @ Denver: The Broncos have some really impressive home opener win streak going that I don't think will stop now. They're out to prove that they are a better team, and John Fox will have them ready to go. Tebow WON'T play in a week one victory. Watch VonDoom reek havoc on the Raiders offense.
