Useless predictions: 2022 Week 1 picks

   Let the betting begin, may the football gods lead us to glory and win some cash so we can keep on making some games more interesting. I did believe the Bills where going to win but the Rams got their ass handed to them and that I didn't expect, still its the first week of the season and stuff like this can happen, we just don't want it to happen to the team we bet on. Lets get to it.  


Cleveland at Carolina (-1)    O42

   Baker Mayfields revenge game, I like the Panthers winning this one at home, I like their team and I don't like Jacoby Brissett making a difference in this one.


San Francisco  at Chicago (+6.5)   O40.5

   I have mentally prepared for this for weeks, I believe, I believe. The 49ers will go without one of their top receivers in George Kittle and starting C Brunskill, still Tray Lance will have enough weapons to work with just not his safety blanket and the guy passing him the ball which are fairly important for a new WB, probably more Deebo Samuel or run plays on the menu. I expect the defense to give Lance fits and the offense to slow down the defense enough to get it done.


Pittsburgh (+7) at Cincinnati     U44.5

   So Joe Burrow is going to play right? any rust? Guess we will see. The Steelers can make some now if Mitchell Trubisky starts doing some damage. I believe the Bengals will win but its gonna be a close one.


Philadelphia at Detroit (+5.5)   U48.5

   Ok Lions I'm believing you have something cooking, its time you show it to me or else I'm going to cast you back into the "they are still the Lions" hole. The Eagles are still going to win but common show me some kneecap biting and stuff.


Indianapolis at Houston (+7)  O45.5

   Is it too early for the Texans to be average or is it to early for the Colts to implode? Lets go with the points just in case.


New England at Miami (-3.5)    O46

   Common Dolphins show me your are competent and you still know how to beat Bill Belichick.


Baltimore (-6.5) at NY Jets    O44

   Lamar Jackson minus his LT against Joe Flacco minus his LT, this has to be a no brainer.


Jacksonville at Washington (-3)    O44

   I probably shouldn't but I like the team the Commanders have, Carson Wentz makes me look the other way. The Jaguars have good players and a QB, but I don't trust they will use them correctly. This game will tell who is the foney.


New Orleans (-5.5) at Atlanta    U44

   The Saints are going to win because they are playing the Falcons, there is that enough reason? Fine, the Falcons maybe have a chance if Marcus Mariota has enough time to chug the ball long and high enough for his tall WRs to go get it, for all the game, honestly if it works it would give the Falcons new life.


Kansas City (-6.5) at Arizona    O54

   The Chiefs are not what they were but still managed to balance the scale upgrading the defense a bit with some rookies and Patrick Mahomes is still very good. The Cardinal have good players but will Kyle Murray come in with the right mentality to lead the team. 


Las Vegas at LA Chargers (-3.5)    U52.5

   not the best of run challenges the Chargers will start with to see if the upgrades on the DL they made in FA works but its a good starting point for them. Only chance I see for the Raiders to win is if the Derek Carr and Davante Adams connection is as good or better than with Aaron Rodgers.


Green Bay (+1.5) at Minnesota    O46.5

   I'm not sure if they should make the Packers the underdog unless Rodgers is not playing, they are missing their tackles but still the Oline is somewhat staked and should be a weak link, receivers are unproven but have to talented rookies in the wing waiting for an opportunity like this with  the Allen Lazard injury, are the Vikings tat good to take "advantage" of this? If the Vikings win is because they are the better team at home, not because of the injuries.


NY Giants at Tennessee (-5.5)   44

   The Giants defense was their best shot of being an NFL team and now they have two starters down from their front seven, King Henry is going to feast.


Tampa Bay (-2.5) at Dallas    O50.5

   I don't like the Cowboys secondary but maybe they can still do damage with their front seven, the Bucs aren't a good match to figure it out.


Denver (-6.5) at Seattle    O44.5

   The Seahawks defense isnt bad and they will have the 12t man on their side but against the Broncos? 7 points is just not near enough.
