NFL Season Opens Thursday

High school football is heading toward week three, college week two and starting Thursday the  NFL begins another season.  Each Wednesday this year I will make picks from the NFL wek's games.

The first game of the season sends Green Bay to the Super Bowl Champs  Seahawks.  I think the Seahawks will have a Super Bowl hangover during the season but not in the opener. Hawks squeeze the Packer 26-24

New Orleans will open in Atlanta.  I suspect New Orleans will return to the top spot in the NFC South and in order to win your  division you need to win division games.  Saints 31 Atlanta 20

This might be the two fighting for the AFC North.  This will be close but Ravens roost in victory.  Baltimore 23 Cincinnati 17.

Buffalo at Chicago.  Bears will contend in NFC Central.  Bears 26 Buffalo 17

Washington at Houston.  This one could go either way.  I have a feeling before long Skins will change quarterbacks.  Houston 26 Washington 20

Tennessee will open at Kansas City.  KC after winning nine in a row to start last year have faltered.  Titans win 20-17.

AFC East game sends New England to Miami and I can't see the Dolphins winning this one. Pats 31 Fish 23.

Oakland at the Jets will be and almost must game for the Jets. Can 't to afford to lose to Raider Nation.  Jets 17 Oakland 6.

Jacksonville will travel to Philadelphia and I suspect a mismatch.  Eagle 35  Jax16

Cleveland travels to Pittsburgh in a black and blue game.  Steelers need a good start and doubt whether The  Browns are that good.  Pitt 24 Cleveland 16

Minnesota at Saint Louis.  New quarterback for the Rams due to injuries.  Vikes win the the Dome.  23-21.

San Francisco  is at Dallas.  Seems at this point 49's are struggling.  Dallas needs to beat somebody good.  I don't think Dallas is that good but the 49's are lost at the moment.  Dallas 26 San Fran 17


Carolina at Tampa Bay.  Cam is not right, I hope this doesn't turn out like Washington last year when Cam never is healthy.  Tampa 23 Carolina 20

Oh boy, one of the games of the day will be Indy at Denver.  I see high scoring win for Denver 31-27.

New York Giants at Detroit.  Both these teams need this one but the Giants have Eli.  Lions 27 GMen 20.

San Diego at Arizona.  This might really be a great game but it doesn't start until 10:30 Monday.  Rivers and company will out score the Cards.  Chargers 34 Zona 28.
