Every year there seems to be one or two unexpected upsets on the first week of the season. I’m picking the Texans over the Colts. What’s yours?

I don’t have any big ones or any sure ones… I like the colts to cover…. Pittsburgh plus the points but Ithink Cincy wins.

Miami, Carolina, Las Vegas are small dogs I think could win…. That’s all I got.

 Look, I don't want to derail the thread, but WGR550  has turned into WGR fantasy football. I don't give a crap about the Shemp and the Bullfrog's fantasy leagues or how they're swamped with dealing with them and I could care less about Vampire leagues. After OBL, (or before) I might as well switch channels.

 

It's like they turned the station into their own part time play time. God I feel sorry for their wives/ families. Now it has bled over to the morning show and God forbid Brownie and Tasker take that crap up.

Steve please don't do it!

 

 

It's like nonstop fantasy stuff. You would think these guys grew up playing D&D. Where can I get the job talking about actual NFL football? Nothing against betting, but sheesh.

Rams over Bills - by a lot.  But would that even be an upset? 

 

On another note, I'm trying to inflict a "reverse jinx" on the Rams, if there even is such a thing?  But now that I admit it, not sure it would work anymore?

I'm thinking the Bills rush for 100 plus, control the T.O.P. and pressure Stafford with at least 2 sacks. Final score in an upset....Bills 24-17. Ten 4th qtr. points. Key to the game...lay the wood to Stafford early and often and Saffold, Morse and Bates hit Donald in the Nads.

Hope I'm wrong, but I'm with Gene1973 in picking the Rams. Worried about our DBs vs. Kupp and the gang. Especially without White back there. Again, Hope I'm wrong. 


I don’t think the Rams beating us would be that much of an upset? Not doing us down, but they’re the Super Bowl winners, with a strong roster, at home. Not sure what the odds say at the moment but a Rams win wouldn’t shock me at all, even though it wouldn’t mean anything for the season in the long term.

Not really an upset as both the Skins and Jags suck.  I agree with you I would bet on Pederson over Rivera.

Washington is favored, at least from what I've seen.  So, ultimately, it is an upset.  But, admittedly, not a very bold upset to pick.  Given what the Steelers did to us in week 1 last year I could maybe see them doing the same to Cincy in week 1 this year but I'm just not too confident they will.

Colts beat the Texans 31-3 and 31-0 last season. I'd be shocked if the Texans even cover the spread. 

 

My pick for upset is Atlanta over New Orleans. NFCS games are always a dog fight and the game is in ATL

I guess your shocked. I just figured that Mills looked decent last year and Ryan is at the tail end of his career and is prone to an untimely turnover or two. The opening week lived up to its upset reputation.

If Flacco starts I really like this pick

 

He did and it didn't although the Ravens looked dreadful for most of the first half.

He tossed one to Jerry Hughes today.
