I've learned not to make any NFL predictions until after week 3. Every year there are teams who look horrible in wk 1 and end in the playoffs, and teams who look like world beaters wk 1 and crap the rest of the season.

Ever since preseason was neutered, teams with turnover don't gel until weeks 4-7.

So I have very few expectations for week 1. I expect certain groups to perform a certain way, but I can't guarantee that either because you haven't seen it in actual game time.

Far as I'm concerned, except fir teams with stability (same coach, key players, playback, etc) you have no idea what to expect.
