Picking NFL games in Week 1 is always a challenge.Picking them this season is even tougher. Without preseason games and limited acce s in terms of practices and media availability, it's tough to get a gauge on where teams are as we head into the first week of games.Having that as an excuse, I offer my Week 1 picks, complete with an upset or two, one a big surprise even if the line isn't a big one.Maybe it's a good thing we haven't seen as much action or been able to get as much information as usual. Week 1 has been brutal at times in the past, so maybe things will change.Let's hope so.I feel a 10-6 week against the spread. Who the heck needs the preseason? I am ready to roll. This is Brad Hunt Men Jersey a rematch of the AFC Divisional Round game that was won by the Chiefs in a blowout after rallying from 24 down. This will be a lot easier. The Texans have defensive i sues that will show up here. and the Chiefs roll.Pick: Chiefs 36, Texans 20This is a long trip to open for Seattle, but they have done well in this role on the East Coast. This should be a fun, high-scoring game between two good quarterbacks. The Seahawks aren't the same team on defense, which is why I think the Falcons will win a shootout.Pick: Falcons 31, Seahawks 28The Bills are coming off a playoff season, while the Jets are trying to build something. Buffalo is the much better team. They will limit the Jets offense here and should have a big game against the Jets defense. Bills big. Pick: Bills 27, Jets 10This should be a fun game to watch if you like offense. Carolina's young defense will get tested in this one, while the Oakland defense might need a few weeks to jell. Look for a lot of points. and both light it up with the Raiders getting a road victory.Pick: Raiders 34, Panthers 30It will be Mitch Trubisky at quarterback for the Bears, with Matt Stafford back healthy for the Lions after mi sing much of last season with a back injury. That's a big edge Teemu Pulkkinen Jersey to the Lions. At home, Stafford should have a big day against the Chicago secondary. Lions take it. Pick: Lions 30, Bears 20The Colts are the better team in this one, but this is a tough way to open on the road in a hot stadium against a division foe. has played well in his David Clarkson Jersey career against the Jaguars and this young Jaguars defense has i sues. Colts win it. But it's closer than expected.Pick: Colts 24, Jaguars 21The Packers have had trouble at Minnesota, but they won there last year. This Vikings team isn't as good, which is why I think will go in there and beat them again. The Packers will win a big, early-division game.Pick: Packers 28, Vikings 17This will be at quarterback for the Pats with gone. Newton has impre sed in camp, and I think he will be fine. The problem is the talent in other spots. Even so, the Pats will find a way to win this game against a young Miami team. But it won't be easy. Pick: Pats 21, Dolphins 20The Ravens are the favorite in the AFC North, while the Browns are trying to get going under first-year coach Kevin Stefanski. The Ravens will again be explosive on offense, but the Browns should be good on that side as well. So which defense plays better? I will go with the Ravens, but the Browns blew them out in Baltimore last year. So be careful.Pick: Ravens 24, Browns 20It can be tough to open on the Luca Sbisa Women Jersey road in the division. It's a lot easier when the home team's quarterback has little experience, and there isn't a lot around him. That's why I think the Eagles will go into Washington and win by a touchdown over Dwayne Haskins and Washington. will have a nice day against the Washington secondary.Pick: Eagles 27, Washington 17This will be first game, which can be overwhelming for a rookie pa ser. And he's facing a talented Chargers defense. Even so, I don't think Burrow will be bothered by it. He will play well. The Chargers will start and likely try and play ball control. I smell an upset for the Bengals. Pick: Bengals 23, Chargers 21This is the game of the week, Tom Brady's first with the Bucs. But it's a tough way to open the season. The Saints are the better team and it's on the road. Brady has a ton of weapons, but the Saints can score too. I think Drew Brees gets the better of Brady in this one. Saints take it.Pick: Saints 28, Bucs 27This is a be-careful game for the defending NFC champions. The 49ers have some injury i sues on offense, which could limit them. The Cardinals should be much improved on defense this season, and I think the offense will be explosive. Even so, it's a tough opener. They hang around, but the 49ers win it.Pick: 49ers 26, Cardinals 23The Cowboys seem to be loaded this season in Mike McCarthy's first as the team's coach. But this is a tough opener. The Rams were down last year, but Sean McVay will have them playing better this time around. It starts here. The Rams take it in a close one. Pick: Rams 21, Cowboys 17The Steelers have back and he's facing a defense that has i sues on the corner. Look for Roethlisberger to get off to a good start after mi sing much of last season. The Giants have talent on offense, but this Pittsburgh defense is special. Steelers will win a Monday night road game.Pick: Steelers 24, Giants 17There will be no fans at this game, but the Broncos have an edge because of the altitude. I also think they will be able to slow down , which is the key to the Titans offense. will get off to a good start in his first real season as the starter for Denver. Broncos take Nate Schmidt Jersey it.Pick: Broncos 27, Titans 23
