STRAIGHT PICK-EM

WEEK ONE NFL PREDICTIONS

LET’S ROCK WEEK ONE OF SOME VERY BAD PREDICTIONS !!!!!

THURSDAY NIGHT GAME

DALLAS COWBOYS AT TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Any time Tom Brady gets an award, the great Tampa Tom will stroke his Buccaneer in front of the entire NFL nation. Dak Prescott returning after an injury last season will get his feet wet but not enough to give last year’s champions a loss.

OUR PICK: BUCCANEERS

THE SUNDAY SLATE

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS AT HOUSTON TEXANS

I’m not Lovie Smith-ing the Texans right now. The sexual predator DeShaun Watson will have plenty of lonely nights, not being behind center. Maybe he can be the master of his domain. Week one, I’m going rookie Trevor Lawrence. Besides, it seems the Jaguars’ only game they can win is opening week.

OUR PICK: JAG BAGS

LA CHARGERS AT WASHINGTON TEAM WITH NO NAME

I like Washington’s defense in this one especially with LA traveling from the west coast. Will Justin Herbert be a victim of the Sophomore jinx? Who ever Washington is rolling out at quarterback in this game, is already better than week one of last season. I have a feeling it will be the Beard. The Chargers will be in a hairy situation in week one.

OUR PICK: WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS AT INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Colts are a slow starting team especially last year in week one with a new quarterback when they were upset by the Jaguars. I like the same plot this time. Seahawks are a better team winning on the road. Last few years, Russell Wilson has been very good as a Road Warrior.

OUR PICK: SEAHAWKS

NEW YORK JETS AT CAROLINA PANTHERS

The Sam Darnold revenge game!!!

OUR PICK: PANTHERS

MINNESOTA VIKINGS AT CINCINNATI BENGALS

Both teams last season played poorly on the defensive side of the ball. Can Joe Burrow rebound from his injury last season? Vikings have the better coaching staff in this one. I feel like the Viking defense will show up this season. Vikings will still lose the big prime-time games. Bengals are never on prime-time. They are lucky if they make the Spanish stations.

OUR PICK: SCREAMING VIKINGS

ARIZONA CARDINALS AT TENNESSEE TITANS

This match up to me has offensive shoot out written all over it. I think it will be close game. JJ Watt will find it hard once again to stop the train at the end of the game with Titans running back Derrick Henry running through a Cardinal defense. There will be some new faces but the same results.

OUR PICK: TITANS

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS AT DETROIT LIONS

If only the Lions could assemble the old Detroit Piston team, the bad boys for week one on their defense.

San Francisco is healthy and should dominate a Lion team that may be one of the worst teams in the league this season.

OUR PICK: 49ERS

PITTSBURGH STEELERS AT BUFFALO BILLS

Last year the Steelers were beating the bad teams and got off to a hot start. When Pittsburgh played the tougher teams, they could not win. Buffalo will do the same thing they did to Big Ben and that Shower Curtain defense. They’ll win convincingly in front of the Bills Mafia in a packed house. Bills will provide the one wrestling table crunching move to prevent the Steelers winning week one on the road.

OUR PICK: BILLS

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES AT ATLANTA FALCONS

Who’s knows who will win the battle of the birds. In the end, the black birds will prevail in hot Atlanta in a messy affair.

OUR PICK: FALCONS

CLEVELAND BROWNS AT KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Browns had a hard time beating winning teams most of last season. I think the Chiefs upgrade on their offensive line will be the difference in this one.

OUR PICK: CHIEFS

DENVER BRONCOS AT NEW YORK GIANTS

This one will be a defensive battle. I like Teddy Bridgewater not making the mistakes that will cost his team. Bridgewater and a strong running game by the Broncos will be the difference.

OUR PICK:BRONCOS

GREEN BAY PACKERS AT NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (IN JACKSONVILLE)

Aaron Rodgers’ farewell tour will start in Florida where he has done very poorly in his career. I think this will be a close one. Saints mistake late in this game will give the Packers the road win. Cough Cough… Jameis Winston !!!

OUR PICK: PACKERS

MIAMI DOLPHINS AT NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Not getting on board the Patriots train. Rookie quarterback versus a pretty good Dolphin defense in my book will give Bill Belichick problems his first game of 2021.

OUR PICK: DOLPHINS

CHICAGO BEARS AT THE LA RAMS

Andy Dalton better have some life insurance because the Rams defense will use the Bears offensive line like a turnstile. Picture a mob going through the doors of Filene’s basement on the biggest sale of the year.

OUR PICK:RAMS

THE MONDAY NIGHT GAME

BALTIMORE RAVENS AT LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

This actually looks like a decent looking game for Monday Night. It should be close. At the end, Lamar Jackson legs out the winning score.

OUR PICK: RAVENS
