Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers: 34-28
New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: 20-10
Baltimore Ravens vs. Philadelphia Eagles: 31-23
New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers: 31-30 ... Upset special. I love Cam Newton, which is the biggest reason for this pick. It'd also be nice to see the Saints lose again before facing the Chiefs in Week 3. Actually, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?
Minnesota Vikings vs. Indianapolis Colts: 24-20
Washington Redskins vs. St. Louis Rams: 31-17 ... The RGIII show returns. That guy was flat-out awesome last week in his first NFL game. It only goes up from here, right?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New York Giants: 30-20
Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: 34-17
Arizona Cardinals vs. New England Patriots: 45-17 ... This could get really, really ugly. The Cardinals are starting Kevin Kolb. The Patriots are awesome. It's their home opener. My 28-point victory sounds about right.
Dallas Cowboys vs. Seattle Seahawks: 24-23 ... Upset special. Maybe this is because Russell Wilson carved the Chiefs up in the preseason but I see him taking control against the Cowboys.
Tennessee Titans vs. San Diego Chargers: 27-21 ... AFC West ... The Chargers are better than the Titans, especially if Chris Johnson is rushing for four yards on 11 carries. Negative yards per carry average!
Oakland Raiders vs. Miami Dolphins: 17-14 ... AFC West ... The Dolphins have the makings of a No. 1 overall pick team in the 2013 NFL draft.
Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers: 20-17 ... The handshake game.
Denver Broncos vs. Atlanta Falcons: 28-17 ... AFC West ... I don't feel confident about this pick but I'm going with Denver. Atlanta looked like a complete team against the Chiefs.
