NFL Picks: Week 1

Season Record: 1-0 (yeah, that's right!)
Here are the rest of the games.....enjoy the first football Sunday everyone!

Miami at Buffalo--The Bills are setting up to be a pretty bad team, even before the season begins. Lucky for the Dolphins they don't have to travel to Buffalo in December. Dolphins 20, Bills 10

Detroit at Chicago--The Lions still have a long way to go, but in many ways, so do the Bears. Bears 23, Lions 17

Indianapolis at Houston--The schedule gods are not kind to the Texans. They finally have a winning season last year, their first ever since coming into the NFL in 2002. Then they get to start the season like this? Colts 30, Texans 24

Denver at Jacksonville--Remember last year, when the Broncos rode that fluke Brandon Stokely TD catch to a 6-0 start? This year, they won't be 6-0. Jaguars 21, Broncos 14

Cincinnati at New England--Was last year a fluke for the Bengals? We'll find out starting Sunday, as the Patriots in Foxboro will be a big, big test. Patriots 31, Bengals 20

Carolina at NY Giants--The Panthers crushed the Giants 41-9 in the old Meadowlands in December. Sunday, the new Meadowlands will have a different outcome. Giants 24, Panthers 17

Atlanta at Pittsburgh--It doesn't matter if the QB is Dennis Dixon or me, the Steelers are just tough at home. Steelers 27, Falcons 24

Cleveland at Tampa Bay--A battle of two of the worst teams in the NFL, so we'll go with the home team. Bucs 20, Browns 16

Oakland at Tennessee--The Chris Johnson show resumes. Titans 28, Raiders 20

Green Bay at Philadelphia--Can Kevin Kolb throw those TD bombs McNabb used to throw to help his team jump out to leads? That remains to be seen, but against Green Bay he may have to throw bombs to keep up. Packers 26, Eagles 20

Arizona at St. Louis--It's not just losing Kurt Warner, it's losing Antrel Rolle and Karlos Dansby and Anquan Boldin. Upset city. Rams 20, Cardinals 19

San Francisco at Seattle--Everyone has the 49ers as a sexy pick to win this division, but I need to see to believe. Seahawks 17, 49ers 14

Dallas at Washington--The Redskins always seem to have the Cowboys' collective number, but I'd say even more so now that they have Donovan McNabb and Mike Shanahan. Redskins 27, Cowboys 23

Baltimore at NY Jets--The Jets will officially get to let us know if all of their preseason hype is for real. I like Baltimore to reach the Super Bowl, but I think the Jets win this Monday night home opener. Jets 14, Ravens 10

San Diego at Kansas City--The Chargers' receiving situation is a bit of a mess, but they are still a better team than KC. Chargers 24, Chiefs 14
