Week 1:
Finally...
Saints @ Packers (Thursday)
Packers - Unless the Packers are still on the Super Bowl win high... I expect the game to be very competitive.
Falcons @ Bears
Falcons - I honestly don't know what the Bears see in Brandon Meriweather to pick him up. In fact, you might see that Bears defense being burned by a misplay from him.
Bengals @ Browns (division)
Browns - A really bad tossup...
Bills @ Chiefs
Chiefs - This might just be too low scoring a game...
Eagles @ Rams
Eagles - The Rams will be better prepared from last season, but I don't think the improvements will be there after this "offseason".
Lions @ Buccaneers
Bucs - These will be two interesting teams to watch... although for the Lions sake, they better have Stafford healthy or it's another toast of a season.
Titans @ Jaguars (division)
Titans - This division is pretty awful.. when it comes down to it.
Steelers @ Ravens (division)
Ravens - Although Big Ben has had some good success against the Ravens, the SB loss low might hurt here.
Colts @ Texans (division)
Texans - With Peyton out indefinitely, this is the only chance the Texans have to finally prove themselves... or become the Browns like every freaking year.
Giants @ Redskins (division)
Giants - Does Rex Grossman at QB inspire anyone? Eli doesn't either, but I don't know wtf Shanahan is cooking up.
Vikings @ Chargers
Vikings - Chargers tend to struggle early for whatever the reason... even if they are generally the better team. I don't think McNabb will be the answer, but kinda think the Lions have the inside track to the playoffs than the Vikings do... at least within this division (Packers have the edge of course).
Seahawks @ 49'ers (division)
49ers - I know the Seahawks won a playoff game last year, but Pete Carroll isn't that great of an NFL coach. I know the 49ers have had major coaching turnover... so I think there will be something to prove for the home opener.
Panthers @ Cardinals
Cards - Hard to imagine that a team w/o an established QB like the Panthers will beat the Cards... but on the other hand... who is Kevin Kolb?
Cowboys @ Jets
Jets - In my heart, I want the Jets to lose. My gut says that the Jets will make the Cowboys lose.
Patriots @ Dolphins (division, Monday)
Pats - It'll be a close game, but it's the homer in me that is hoping.
Raiders @ Broncos (division, Monday)
Broncos - I think John Fox's coaching will be the difference... somehow.
