THE SOURCES NFL WEEK 1 PICKS..0-0
My picks in BOLD PRINT..
Based on late season finish , preseason play and player changes and personal observations..In other words no one really knows what kind of team everyone has until they play a few games and trends are established.
THURSDAY NIGHT SEPT 8,2016
PANTHERS VS BRONCOS - The rematch ? Not really but the Panthers are eager to beat down the broncos. The Broncos are no longer the best team in the League losing manning is going to be a big blow. Starting a new quarterback in his first NFL start will and will be ugly. The Broncos will be hard pressed to protect their quarterback. But the Panthers are going to show that they are for real and The Defense will cause turnovers and give the great field position as the Panthers destroy the Broncs at home.
SUNDAY SET 11, 2016
BUCS AT FALCONS- The Bucs are much improved and they are facing a offensive strong team that plays well at home. It wont be a pretty game but the Falcons have too many play makers and should win easily at home Look for Julio Jones catch alot and score alot.
VIKINGS AT TITANS - Two defensive minded teams with solid running games. The problem is the Vikes don't have a reliable qb - DECIDING on Sam Bradford as your starter who now has to learn a new playbook.. strange choice.. Its Better to stick to Shaun Hill 40 years old .. The Vikes are in rouble big time!!and The titans have a very good qb in Mariota and a running game that will hard to stop with Henry leading the way. Titans win easily at home.
BROWNS AT EAGLES- The browns are the worst team in the league and the eagles are slightly better both teams are in rebuild mode,, It wont be a high scoring game , but I see the EAGLES making enough big plays to win at home.
BENGALS AT JETS - The Bengals will have a another solid performance and the jets are coming off a very good season. The addition Of Matt Forte could make them a solid run and pass team. The defense is always strong , and should make a push to win the AFC EAST or playoff spot. They must make a statement early and I see them doing at home as they win a close game at home.
RAIDERS AT SAINTS- This could be the highest scoring game of the week? Why both defenses are suspect and both teams have play makers on offense. Drew Brees always finds ways to score alot and will in this game. Carr will match him to a point , but The saints will pull away late en route to close high scoring show in the dome!!
CHARGERS AT CHIEFS- This will be a battle. The Chiefs swept the chargers last year , but that was then and this is now. The Bolts have a solid ground game with Gordon , Woodhead and Watt, as well as a new star in Hunter Henry , Gates will be gates and Keenan Allam will have a record breaking year. The defense is much improved and they will help set the tone.. Verret , Flowers Addae and perryman are hard hitting assassin's and Bosa and Corey will be monsters to deal with. It wont be a easy game and could be a high scoring shootout , but a I see a ball control offense playing error free football and the chargers upsetting the favorites.
BILLS AT RAVENS- Everyone always picks the bills as the sleeper team , and The Ravens are always in there as a well balanced team.. This will be a defense minded game and the ravens will mak enough plays to come out a season opening win.. Flacco will do well and make some big throws at the end of the game , to secure a victory.
BEARS AT TEXANS- The bears have a horrible defense and the texans have one of the best. JJ WATT can make the bears shudder and the Cutler when flustered is a turn over machine. Ostweiler will have a big day and give the Houston fans a great win in a blow out against a over matched and poorly constructed defense.
PACKERS AT JAGS- The Packers are one of the elites with one of the best QBS,. IN the league, The Jags have talent , but not enough against a contending team. I see rodgers pick apart a average defense and hand a beat down to the Jags ..
DOLPHINS AT SEAHAWKS- The dolphins are much improved , the problem is the Seahawks are one the better teams if not a SUPERBOWL CONTENDER, they will be pumped up to show the home crowd they are ready to make that run and easily confuse and dominate the dolphins at home this could be a laugher by halftime.
GIANTS AT COWBOYS - The Giants have a solid qb , and one of the best wide outs in the game with odel, the Cowboys.. have a quality offensive line and a strong defense,, the problem is they have a unproven and untested qb,, Yes Dak Prescott had a monster pre season.. sorry that doesn't mean anything , The Gmen are going to have fun and bring the boys back to reality.. which is you need a quality qb to win in this league, dak has not proven a thing. As well as elliot. Dez is the play maker , but prescott will be tested often and early and I see him making major mistakes as the Gmen win easily.
LIONS AT COLTS- Andrew Luck is back and the Lions don't have Megatron. The Colts will score early and often and the Lions may do so too , because the Colts don't have a championship defense, This could be a highlight reel game with many big plays offensively.
SUNDAY NIGHT
PATRIOTS AT CARDINALS - With Brady I could see the Pats win, but the Cardinals have too strong of defense to let a newbie Garropalo succeed. He looks the part , but with out experience and knowledge , this could be a ugly season opener for the Patriots. But then again this could also be a boring low scoring game , with the cardinals winning late with a last minute field goal.
MONDAY NIGHT SEPT 12,2016
STEELERS AT REDSKINS - Big Ben and his Killer B's . , Bell , Brown.. The offense is no doubt one of the best offenses in the league , but that defense is still a work in progress. but the Steelers are one of the elites in the AFC.. PATRIOTS , STEELERS , COLTS , CHIEFS , are division winners , but the wild cards are wide open with the Jets , Chargers , Bengals fighting for those spots..
RAMS AT 49ERS - the niners next two the browns are a lousy team with issues, the kapernick deal has and will divide the locker room and having such distractions at each game could very well make this a very stressful and losing season..Rams with the Gurley show will score early often and win a laugher while the niner fans get treated to a offensive and defensive show.
