Week 1 NFL Picks

I blew it for the first game and did not post my pick in time for the Saints/Vikings game but I would have taken the Saints (-5) and been wrong.  So to start I am 1-0 straight up and 0-1 against the spread.

Here are my picks, what are yours?

- San Francisco (-3) at Seattle: 49ers go up to Qwest Field and get their first win of the season.  Big win for them as they are expected to win the NFC West.  Seattle is bad all over and 49ers win by 10. 49ers 27-17

- Tennessee (-6.5) vs. Oakland: The Raiders are improved but Jeff Fisher is going to make sure that the Titans are not going to start 0-6.  Raiders also have some questions about their rush defense and that could mean Chris Johnson has a huge game.  Titans 31-17

- Carolina (+6.5) at New York Giants: Carolina beat the Giants last year and I have some serious questions about the Giants defense.  Giants 21-17

- Miami (-3) at Buffalo: The Bills are still bad and Miami has a new toy, Brandon Marshall.  Dolphins 28-9

- Atlanta (-1.5) at Pittsburgh: The Steelers will be starting Dennis Dixon at QB and although he is a nice player he will not be able to get a victory here.  Falcons 21-10

- Detroit (+6.5) at Chicago: Two bad teams meet each other.  If the Lions can get to Cutler then they will win big.  Bears still not have found a decent wide receiver and they have Martz as their offensive coordinator.  Lions 14-10

- Cincinnati (+5) at New England: Bengals have some weapons on offense and the Patriots are a question mark but    the Pats are at home.  I don't see how the Bengals could come in and win.  Patriots 27-24

- Tampa Bay (-3) vs. Cleveland: Browns will be the worst team in the league this season.  Mangini is not a good head coach and Delhomme is not the answer at quarterback.  Tampa Bay is a better team and win easily.  Buccaneers 10-3

- Denver (+3) at Jacksonville: Kyle Orton has had a great pre-season and although they are likely not as good as last year they should be able to beat a team that just can't get it done in the Jaguars.  Broncos 10-7

- Houston (+2) vs. Indianapolis: Texans are finally going to get over the hump and beat the Colts with Arian Foster having a huge game.  Texans 34-31

- Green Bay (-3) at Philadelphia: The Packers are probably the best team in the NFC and the Eagles have some questions at QB.  Packers 42-17

- Arizona (-3.5) at St. Louis: This could be the battle of last place for the NFC West.  The Cardinals are starting Derek Anderson and the Rams will have many growing pains.  Low scoring game with a lot of turnovers. Cardinals 12-3

- Dallas (-3) at Washington: Just like when McNabb was with the Eagles he doesn't have a lot of options.  The Cowboys win in DC.  Cowboys 14-10

- Baltimore (+2) at New York Jets: The Jets are extremely overrated and Sanchez looks awful.  The Ravens meanwhile have gotten much better.  Ravens 17-14

- San Diego (-5) at Kansas City: Chiefs are bad and so are the Chargers as they lost their three best players from last year.  The AFC West is awful but someone has to win the game.  Chargers walk over the Chiefs.  Chargers 20-10
