First of all, I hope you don't forget the Thursday opener, as it's a doozie. So post your picks! If you forget, I'll give you one freebee but after that I propose that if you forget to post that it should work against you. This season, the winner is the person with the most wins, not the best record. I think it makes sense. Still, I hope you pick this one, it makes me nervous. Regardless, here are my fearless week 1 prognostications:

Saints at Colts

Just because they're at home. I like the Saints to win the NFC but I say the atmosphere and Peyton Manning are too much. Should be a shootout, though.

Kansas City at Houston

Is Damon Huard the real deal? I don't think it matters this week.

Denver at Buffalo

Too many holes in the Bills.

Carolina at St. Louis

At home. And I still love the offense. Steve Smith will always make me nervous picking against him.

Pittsburgh at Cleveland

Still a playoff threat.

Atlanta at Minnesota

Shockingly, I think Minnesota is being overlooked. This week, I doubt it will matter.

Tennessee at Jacksonville

Even with a new starter at QB. I like their defense against Vince Young

New England at New York Jets

Hope I get to watch this one. New England looks really, really good.

Philadelphia at Green Bay

This is a team that has had GB's number. Also, GB sucks.

Detroit at Oakland

Which team will play to their elusive potential? I'll take the home team.

Chicago at San Diego

Not until they get a QB. Should be fun when the Chargers have the ball, though.

Tampa Bay at Seattle

Not gonna watch this one.

New York Giants at Dallas

Go ahead, Eli. Prove me wrong. Another one to watch.

Baltimore at Cincinnati

This one make me nervous. I would be a lot more comfortable if it was in Baltimore.

Arizona at San Francisco

Two teams on the rise. My head says take the Matt Leinart but my gut goes with San Fran.
