Somehow, I always get in on these threads at the beginning of the season, then at some point in the middle of the season, I forget to post picks. Then I just give up altogether because of ensuing cf with my picks not matching the quantity of anyone else’s. Also I suck at picks. So, let’s get this year started too.

Jaguars - Chiefs

Believe it or not, I’d love for the Jaguars to win this one. I do not enjoy the plethora of Chiefs fans I deal with now, which were apparently living under a rock for the last 20 years. But man, they seem so unstoppable. Plus, I think the Jaguars may have the worst offense in the league.

Chiefs 17
Jaguars 3



Titans - Browns

All of my homer instincts want me to take the Titans in this game. I want to say NEVER Browns. Betting on the Browns is a lot like betting against the Patriots. But I do believe Baker may become one of the next great quarterbacks. Their team seems so stacked, you almost feel like they have to fail. I don’t think they will though. I think the Titans make it ugly like always.

Browns 17
Titans 15



Colts - Chargers

I feel like this is going to be one of those weird week one trap games. Everybody is expecting the Colts to just lay down and let everyone walk over them. But not this week. They have a decent defense and IMO the best Oline in football. Brissett and Mack have some fight in them and the Colts get a victory against a pretty good Chargers team in California.

Colts 31
Chargers 28



Texans - Saints

So the the Texans got rid of Clowney and sold the farm for a good left tackle, and now they have to put it on display for Monday night football. I think the Texans are going to miss Clowney. He commanded a lot of attention from offensive lines. I remember him missing the first game against the Titans last season. JJ Watt was a complete nonfactor against backup tackle Kelly because we had lost Lewan the week before. The Titans won that game with Gabbert under center. But Watson is one of the best QB’s in the league and this offense is built for a shootout now. And a shootout they will get on Monday night.

Saints 39
Texans 33
