HeavyHitta31's Week 1 Picks

[The30YardSlant]

Miami at Pittsburgh: With Big ben out and Miami making possibly the biggest strides of any team this offseason, I see an upset in the making here. Any team that starts Charlie Batch can't be taken too seriously.

Dolphins: 17
Steelers: 13

Atlanta at Carolina: Michael Vick always seems to give the Panthers fits, but that finally comes to an end with the added speed and ability on defense. This will be a sackfest between two of the best D-Lines in football.

Falcons: 17
Panthers: 21

Baltimore at Tampa Bay: Maybe the lowest scoring game of the NFL season, two average offenses vs two great defenses. Turnovers and a late FG will decide it.

Ravens: 7
Buccanears: 9

Buffalo at New England: As Don Merideth would say, "Easy money baby, easy money".

Bills: 13
Patriots: 31

Cincinnati at Kansas City: New Kansas City defenders, same old average defense. Carson Palmer doesnt miss a beat.

Bengals: 38
Chiefs: 31

Denver at St. Louis: Rams keep it close, but the talent gap rears it's ugly head late.

Broncos: 20
Rams: 16

New Orleans at Cleveland: Who really cares?

Saints: 14
Browns: 13

New York Jets at Tennessee: Again, does anyone really care?

Jets: 24
Titans: 27

Philadelphia at Houston: The Eagles mediocrity shows again and proves last year was no illusion. Mass suicide comences in downtown Philly.

Eagles: 17
Texans: 20

Seattle at Detroit: The Lions surprise the Seahawks early, but Seattle fights back and wins going away.

Seahawks: 31
Lions: 21

Chicago at Green Bay: Rex Grossman sucks. The Packers defense sucks harder.

Bears: 23
Green Bay: 10

Dallas at Jacksonville: A defensive struggle, but the Jags interior D-Line just proves to be too tall an order for Cowboys O-Line.

Cowboys: 14
Jaguars: 17

San Francisco at Arizona: The Cardinals have a fanbase? If so, they'll enjoy this one

49ers: 14
Cardinals: 45

Indianapolis at New York Giants: Eli is good. Peyton is better. None of that matters, though, because the Giants secondary suck too horribly for words to express

Colts: 31
Giants 24

Minnesota at Washington: Washington plays poorly without CP and Springs, but Minnesota just isnt good enough offensively

Vikings: 13
Commanders: 20

San Diego at Oakland: Oakland is the worst team in the AFC. Period.

Chargers: 38
Raiders: 18

Chicago at Green Bay: Rex Grossman sucks. The Packers defense sucks harder.

 

[DBoys]

Dallas will beat Jax and Minny will beat Skins

 

[Future]

In all seriousness, "sucks harder" is one of my favorite terms of all time.

Miami at Pittsburgh: Ben is out and Ward might be out as well. Batch won't be able to overcome Miami's defense.

Dolphins: 14
Steelers: 9

Atlanta at Carolina: Vick is Vick, he is a great athelete but not a great QB. But, the addition addition of Abraham and Milloy will help the Falcons and Smith might not be fully ready for the start of the season

Falcons: 14
Panthers: 13

Baltimore at Tampa Bay: Simms has matured, Williams has matured, and the Bucs offense will show it. The reunion of McNair and Mason will pay dividends all season long and Heap will finally show up as one of the best TEs.

Ravens: 24
Buccanears: 17

Buffalo at New England: Bufallo will continue to regret getting rid of Bledsoe.

Bills: 6
Patriots: 21

Cincinnati at Kansas City: Palmer will show that he is healthy and that he is an Aikman clone. Law will help the Chief's defense, but it won't be enough in this one.

Bengals: 23
Chiefs: 17

Denver at St. Louis: Broncos will prove that with Walker, they are the team to beat. And Mike Bell will force fantasy league owners to scramble to pick him up.

Broncos: 27
Rams: 14

New Orleans at Cleveland: Payton will not have a great first game as a head coach, Cleveland will get all excited just to be brought down to earth.

Saints: 10
Browns: 21

New York Jets at Tennessee: Pennington has been through this before and has shown not to be 100% before. But can the Titans win with a QB that was just brought in a couple days ago? This one should be close.

Jets: 14
Titans: 17

Philadelphia at Houston: Lundy will shine as the lead runner for the Texans, but it won't be enough. Stallworth and the receivers will step up and make the Eagles fans think that life will be better without TO and we will have to hear about it for a few weeks.

Eagles: 21
Texans: 17

Seattle at Detroit: Seattle will show early on that it has one of the best defenses in the NFL. It will confuse and clobber the Lions sad offense.

Seahawks: 24
Lions: 3

Chicago at Green Bay: Farve will hear more and more about his retirement after the Bears' defense gives him a hard time.

Bears: 13
Green Bay: 6

Dallas at Jacksonville: The Jags will be missing some starters and will still be trying to find a lead receiver. The Cowboys' defense will assert itself immediately and Owens will have a big game to start off the season.

Cowboys: 27
Jaguars: 13

San Francisco at Arizona: Smith will look much better than last year and Davis will prove that he was a smart pick for the 49ers. James will not get a lot of yards and things will start getting dicey in Arizona.

49ers: 10
Cardinals: 13

Indianapolis at New York Giants: No way Peyton lets his little brother show him up. But both good defenses will keep it close.

Colts: 17
Giants 10

Minnesota at Washington: Johnson will have revenge on his mind when he plays against his old team. The Vikings' front will give the Commanders' (sans Portis) a very tough night.

Vikings: 19
Commanders: 14

San Diego at Oakland: Oakland is a horrible team and will not do well, but recent police shootings and Rivers' first NFL start will shake the Chargers.

Chargers: 13
Raiders: 16

 

[locked&loaded]

did someone put food infront of you for this or was it beer?
