Week 1 predictions

Each week I'll be giving my predictions for the NFL games. I will give a small summary as to why. I'll keep track of my record, feel free to add comments with your own predictions

Cowboys vs Giants - No defending champ has lost their home opener since they started opening games on Thursday nights. This will be no different. Both teams are overrated in my book. Both teams have big holes. Close game, but Giants win.

Colts vs Bears - The Luck era begins in Indy. Sadly it will be with a loss. The Bears look really really good. Expect it to be a bad game for the Colts. Bears win.

Eagles vs Browns - The Browns will try rookie QB Weeden to start the season, and it won't go very well. The Eagles defense will confuse him into mistakes, which the offense will turn into points. Eagles win.

Patriots vs Titans - The Titans almost made the playoffs last season and should be better. Jake Locker should continue to grow. But Tom Brady will put up some big passing yards, and with no go to wide receivers for the Titans, it could get out of hand pretty quick. Patriots win.

Falcons vs Chiefs - Both teams should improve from last year. If the Chiefs can stay healthy they will be a tough team to beat, but the Falcons are the better team. Falcons win.

Jaguars vs Vikings - This game is not going to impress a lot of people. Both teams are in the rebuilding mode. Both teams have young QB's. The Jaguars have Blaine Gabbert, the Vikes have Christian Ponder. Vikes win based on the QB.

Redskins vs Saints - The Skins get to see what RG3 can do in the regular season, and he might put up some good numbers against a shaky Saints defense. But New Orleans should out score them by a fair margin. Saints win

Bills vs Jets - The Jets had a horrid pre season, and it may not be long before Tebow starts. But the Jets will go with Sanchez, and they will go with a loss. Bills win.

Rams vs Lions - The Rams get their first game with Jeff Fisher as head coach, and they get a tough match up with the Lions. The Rams will keep it close, but the Lions will pull through. Lions win

Dolphins vs Texans - The Dolphins are already looking forward to next season. The Texans are thinking of a Superbowl. Texans win.

49ers vs Packers - This is the game of the week, easily. Packers are most peoples picks to win it all. 49ers have a lot of love from the experts as well. Many people think it will come down to the Packers offense against the 49ers defense. But the game will be decided by the Packers defense and Alex Smith. Packers defense has a decent enough game to let the Packers win. Packers win.

Seahawks vs Cardinals - The Seahawks are trying to get better, while the Cards are trying to figure out which QB they play this season, and which QB they should draft next season. Cardinals win, but its close. Cardinals win.

Panthers vs Buccaneers - Will Cam Newton have the same slump that Josh Freeman had? Probably not, but it should be an exciting game with two teams trying to get better. Panthers win.

Steelers vs Broncos - Peyton Manning gets his first real game in Denver. It just happens to be against an aggressive defense that lost to this team in the playoffs. The Steelers are looking for revenge. The Broncos are going through a big change, from what was basically a high school offense, to an offense lead by Manning. Growing pains are going to be present for sure. Steelers win.

Bengals vs Ravens - Ravens have a lot of believers out there. They could be the team to beat in the AFC. The Bengals are coming off a great season and a full offseason with their team. The Bengals have always given the Ravens a hard time and it will be a tough game for both teams. Bengals win.

Chargers vs Raiders - The Chargers are the continual disappointment in the NFL. They should always be a good team, but never meet expectations. Coach Turner should have been fired a few seasons ago and as long as he is leading this team they will continue to fail. Raiders win.
