Week 1
The pick for week 1 is the Seattle Seahawks.
Now hear me out on this one before you start hating on the pick. Week One is always the toughest to predict because you don’t know how teams will preform. That is why I like to stay away from the big favorites the first week. Last year the Chargers were a big favorite over the Panthers and they lost. In 2007 the Packers beat the Eagles who were a popular pre season Super Bowl pick. I could go on but I think you get the point. That’s why I’m not touching the Saints, Patriots, and Ravens this week.
Meanwhile the Seahawks the lowly Rams at home this week. Matt Hasselbeck is 100% healthy and so is their receiving corps which now includes T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The Seahawks are a much better team than their 4-12 record from last year indicates and they are out for a vengeance this year. The Rmas were awful last year and haven’t gotten much better. Expect the Seahwaks secondary to feast on Marc Bulger all day as they defeat the Rams 27-13.
