Dallas at the Bucs. No way Tom Brady loses this to a Dallas team with a questionable Dak Prescott ... and not much else. Bucs.

Philly at Atlanta. Two very questionable teams but the Falcons still have Matty Ice and some receivers whereas the Eagles have big question marks on the offense. Falcons.

Pitt at Buffalo. Big expectations for the Bills this season. And Big Ben and Company? Who knows..... Bills.

Vikings at Bengals. Season 2 for Joe Burrow ... and the Vikings have been the definition of hit-or-miss recently. In the mild upset... Bengals.

Niners at Detroit. The Lions.... how can they be so bad for so long? And with Matthew Stafford and Megatron.... Well, they are both gone and I dont see that absence improving the Lions' play. Niners.

Arizona at Tennessee. The Titans have been very consistent over the last two seasons. The Cards.... well, they have shown improvement. But this is a tough road opener. Titans.

Seattle at Indy. I usually dont pick a West Coast team in an East Coast road game (okay, midwest) but I dont see the Colts being able to keep up with the Seahawks O. Seahawks.

Chargers at Washington. Love the Chargers this season and Justin Herbert is the real deal. Whether he succumbs to a sophomore slump will be revealed. But not in this game. Chargers.

Jets at Carolina. Sam Darnold faces the team that gave up on him. I still think Darnold has what it takes; the Jets, in typical Jets fashion, mishandled him. And now he has McCaffrey and a lot of other options. Panthers.

Jax at Houston. No Deshaun Watson starting for the Texans. Too bad for the Texans. They were on the cusp two seasons ago now they are in total disarray. Trevor Lawrence wins his NFL debut. Jaguars.

Cleveland at KC. The Browns return to KC where their season ended last year in a close loss. Maybe getting the Chiefs in Week 1 is a good break. Browns will win and send season expectations sky-high... only to be later dashed. Browns.

Miami at NewEngland. Sorry the Phish are not going into NE and winning. Bill Belichick will not allow it! Patriots.

Green Bay at New Orleans. I cannot get behind Jameis Winston. Sure he'll throw for three TDs... He'll also throw three or more picks. Packers.

Denver at New York. I don't know what to make of either of these teams. Daniel Jones shows occasional flashes and I dont even know who is QBing the Broncos. So the Giants win this game of two teams going nowhere. Giants.

Bears at Rams. The Rams will trot out their new QB Matthew Stafford. And he will have a smashing debut! Rams.

Ravens at Raiders. The Ravens wil ruin the Raiders premier at their new stadium with fans in attendance for the first time. Ravens.

Good luck everyone! It's good to be back!

Since I have not followed football in roughly 10 years I should ace this.

First and formost Dallas will lose.
Redskins will also lose.
Titians will win.
Texans will win.
Bengals will win.
Colts will win.
Steelers will win.
Forty Niners will win.
Panthers will win.
Falcons will win.
Cheifs will win.
Saints will win.
Broncos will win.
Dolphins will win.
Rams will win.
Radiers will win.

If I win I want all cash in small bills.

We need a new rule.

If someone misses a week, do they default to:
8-8 or
all home teams or
all favored teams
?

Will make the season total contest more interesting

Buccaneers over Jerrysboys - the refs keep it close so we have to watch. And who has the better QB?
Cardinals over Titans -— ditto
Jaguars over the Texnots - the best player on either team is sitting on the bench
Vikings over Bengals -— Bengals win maybe 5 games ... but who has the better QB next year?
Seahawks over Colts -— who will be the QB for the Colts?
Bills over Steelers —— Just compare the QBs
49ers over Lions - ask again.
Chargers over Washington -—— I think that the better QB wins
Panthers over Jets -—— maybe this year but next year?
Falcons over Eagles —— if two trains collide head on, does anyone win?
Chiefs over Browns - just compare the QBs
Packers over Saints - Just compare the QBs
Broncos over Giants - who has the better QB?
Dolphins over the Pats - just compare the QBs
Rams over Bears —— sigh. just compare the QBs
Ravens over Raiders - same here.
