2015 NFL Week 1 Predictions

Week 1 Predictions

Pats  -7 over Steelers

-After this off season, with the banner going up and Tom Brady pissed the hell off, I am not sure how many points it would take for me NOT to take the Pats. The fact that Bell, Bryant, and Pouncey aren’t playing helps a lot.

Panthers -3 over Jags

-Probably a painful game to watch.

Browns +3 over Jets, CLE SU

-No idea, so take the points.

Pack -6.5 over Bears

-Not a nearly high enough line, regardless of GB injuries to start. Lacy, Lacy, Lacy. Blowout.

Colts -2.5 over Bills

-I don’t like this game very much, but it is Luck versus Tyrod Taylor despite anything else.

Chiefs +1 over Texans, KC SU

-I don’t trust the Texans QB situation, and the RB situation isn’t pretty.

Fins -3.5 over Ethnic Slurs

-Lines cannot be created high enough this year versus the Washington Professional Sports franchise.

Rams +4 over Seahawks, SEA SU

-This Rams’ defense is legit and I am going to be picking them a lot this year when the line is over 3.5.

Chargers -3 over Lions

-The Lions are one of my stay away teams because without Suh and Fairley this defense could implode. I like this Chargers offense, even with Gates out for now.

Cards -2.5 over Saints

-Really like this Cards team to win close games, even though I think the Saints will be much improved this year.

Ravens +4.5 over Broncos, BAL SU

-Taking points versus Denver, all year.

Raiders +3.5 over Bengals, CIN SU

-Bengals will be a decent team and win a healthy amount of games, but they don’t blow teams out. I think the Raiders will be sneaky this year, so I am taking the 3.5.

Titans +3 over Bucs, TEN SU

-This is a pro Mariota, anti Jameis pick.

Giants +6 over Cowboys, DAL SU

-Giants have too many weapons, and this should be close even though I think Dallas will win.

Falcons +3.5 over Eagles, ATL SU

-Fantasy game of the week with a lot of points scored. Falcons have an improved defense that gets some edge rush from its offseason additions, and Julio kills the Eagles secondary.  

Vikings -2.5 over Niners

-If you want to make a case for the Vikings this year, look at games like this that should be easy wins. I like Bridgewater a lot anyways.
