The NFL today: Who wins, who loses?

facebooktwitterreddit

Today, the rest of the NFL gets under way as fans across the country don their teams’ colors and get the food beverages ready.

Without Green Bay Packers football today, it’s still fun to watch and to follow, especially for all you fantasy players.

So, with that said, we thought we would take a shot at predicting today’s and tomorrow’s games.

What do you think? Leave a comment below.

Enjoy the action …

Bears

If the Chicago Bears don’t beat the Bills on their home field in the season-opener, you might want to stick a fork in the Bears and cut out the Jay Cutler-is-the-NFL-MVP talk

Steelers

This is always a good matchup and the Browns defense might show up for this one. However, in the end it will be Ben Roethlisberger who does all the damage today. And as for Johnny Manziel – well, let’s just say he will look better on the sidelines that under center.

Eagles

Does anyone really care about this game. The Eagles might score 50 on the Jags and Blake Bortles might wish he’s still in Florida.

Eagles 52 Jags 10

The ‘fins might be improved, but they still can’t figure out how to beat Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

Saints

Atlanta
Falcons

Drew Brees shows Matt Ryan once again what being an NFL quarterback is all about. This one won’t be close.

Saints 36 Falcons 16

Panthers

Tampa Bay
Buccaneers

I keep seeing other experts picking the Buccaneers in this one because Cam Newton doesn’t have any receivers to throw to … He does have a great defense behind him, however.

Panthers 17 Buccaneers 13

Cincinnati
Bengals

@

Baltimore
Ravens

Frankly, I’m not too well versed on these two teams, but I feel the Bengals will go into Baltimore and come away with a win.

Bengals 24 Ravens 20

Mr. Griffin III, meet Mr. Clowney … the rest of the NFL, take notice.

Chiefs

Is there anyone besides Jamal Charles who plays for the Chiefs anymore. Seems like everyone walked away from this team in the offseason. The Titans could be one of the sleepers in 2014.

Titans 27 Chiefs 20

Rams

How soon will it be before “Touchdown” Teddy Bridgewater sees the field? It probably won’t be today against this Rams dynamic front 7. Good luck, Matt Cassel.

Rams 22 Vikings 20

Oakland
Raiders

New York
Jets

OK, so the Jets have a pretty good front 7 of their own on defense, but somehow I think that you QB, Mr. Carr, shows the NFL why he was underrated going into the draft.

Raiders 23 Jets 17

49ers

Dallas
Cowboys

This used to be a marquee matchup – like back in the 80s … today the 49ers easily cut through the Cowboys offense. Sorry, Tony … the Cowboys just aren’t very good.

49ers 33 Cowboys 17

Broncos

In one of the more compelling games of the opening weekend, the Colts and Andrew Luck will show that old guy in Denver why they are better these days.

The Lions roar past the Giants … their offensive weapons are just too much for this Tom Coughlin-coached team.
