(CBS) It’s here. It’s finally here. The NFL is back!

(Home team all told CAPS)

Game of the Week: 49ERS thirty four, Packers thirty one – 3:25 PM

For the second straight year, the 49ers and Packers meet to start out the season. Last year, the 49ers administered support beatdowns, spoiling the Packers home opener and ending their season within the playoffs. The Packers didn’t do enough to enhance their defensive front and can once more lose the battle at the road of scrimmage.

Patriots thirty seven, BILLS sixteen – time of day

The Bills ar creating history for all the incorrect reasons. They became the the primary team to ever begin a season with 2 tiro quarterbacks. So, that’s 2 tiro quarterbacks and a tiro head coach matched up against the NFL’s longest irremovable coach and a three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback. This game is already over.

STEELERS thirty one, Titans seventeen – time of day

I’m stunned the Titans didn’t do additional to enhance their defense that gave up a league-high 471 points last season. Instead, they opted to enhance their offensive line, in an attempt to open holes for Chris Johnson and additional significantlydefend Jake Locker to check what they need at quarterback. It won’t matter this weekend, because the Steelers ar additional proficient and higher coached.

Falcons 38, SAINTS thirty four – time of day

It will be ‘defense optional’ in urban centerbecause the NFC South’s finest square up. These 2 groups have won the last four division championships, rotating annually. The pattern says it’s the Saints fliphowever I’ll take the additional complete Falcons not solely onhowever to conjointly win the division.

Bucs 30, JETS thirteen – time of day

There’s no shortage of intrigue during this game. Darrelle Revis’ initial game as a Buc is against his former team, and therefore the season hasn’t formally started, however the Jets ar already in utter disarray. tiro Geno Smith gets the beginning for the Jets in an exceedingly game that might get out of hand quickly.

Chiefs 24, JAGUARS twenty – time of day

These 2 groups combined for a large four wins last season. the intense facet is that they “earned” the highest 2 picks within the draft and were unhealthy enough to necessitate regime changes. relatively speaking, the Chiefs weren’t nearly as unhealthy as their record indicated and ar the additional proficient team during this match-up.

Dolphins twenty three, BROWNS twenty one – time of day

Both of those groups spent vital resources to retool in representationhowever their seasons depend upon the event of their intermediate signal callers. i favor the Browns defense, however they don’t have enough playmakers on offense, and Weeden are going to be outplayed by Tannehill.


Seahawks twenty seven, PANTHERS twenty – time of day

There’s Associate in Nursing unwritten rule that claims you must ne'er take a team creating a coast-to-coast trip for a time of day kickoff, however I’m breaking it permanently reason. The Seahawks ar for real. The Panthers defensive front seven is spectacularhowever their offense has been out of kinds all season.

Vikings 24, LIONS twenty three – time of day

The Lions host the Vikings within the NFC North Third Place Bowl. (It’s funny as a result of it’s true.) there'll be no shortage of jaw-dropping individual talent on showhowever jointly, these ar 2 blemished groups. The Vikings are going to be hampered by Christian Ponder’s inability to vertically stretch a defense, and the maximum amount as i favor the Lions line of defense, they’re poorly coached. The Vikings can ride the durable legs of Adrian Peterson to triumph.

COLTS 31, Raiders sixteen – time of day

The only positive issue I will say regarding the Raiders is that their season are going to be over in seventeen weeks. Seriously, this might be the worst assortment of “talent” I’ve seen in decades. only one year agone, the Colts went from Peyton Manning to Apostle Luck and still attained a contest bid. Not too shabby. Luck can open up his sophomore campaign modish.

BEARS 23, Bengals twenty – time of day

This is a match-up of 2 equally engineered, defensive-oriented groups with robust special groupshowever there’s one obtrusive difference: quarterback. One is gun-shy (Andy Dalton), the opposite could be a hired gun (Jay Cutler). In what ought to be a defensive struggle, I’m giving a small edge to the Bears, World Health Organization ar healthier and reception.

RAMS 24, Cardinals twenty one – 3:25 PM

If you’re an acquaintance of offensive line play, avoid this game. each groups created united efforts to enhance the protection for his or her quarterbacks, however what quantity they’ve really improved remains to be seen. I expect the Rams line of defense to overpower the Cardinals and build Carson linksman move within the pocket, that has ne'er been his forte.

Giants 27, COWBOYS twenty four – 7:30 PM

It’s not far-fetched to assume that this game could be a harbinger of the NFC East championship. each groups ar addressing a litany of injuries within the trenches that may create some sloppy soccer. I’ve wavered on this game over the otherhowever I worry that the Cowboys new defensive theme with banged up personnel are going to be their undoing. i favor Eli and company to enhance to 5-0 at Cowboys (AT&T) structure.

REDSKINS thirty one, Eagles twenty three – 6:10 PM weekday

Another intriguing NFC East match-up chuck-full of storylines. what is going to Chip Kelly’s high-tempo offense seem like within the NFL? in point of fact, the Eagles defense is that the real story. they need many new items combined with a replacement organizerthat may spell doom against a Redskins offense that scored the fourth-most points last year. All eyes in Washington are going to be fastened on RGIII’s right knee, however the Redskins ought to be ready to ease him back in with a run-heavy gameplan.

Texans 27, CHARGERS twenty – 9:20 PM weekday

San Diego pushed reset and with mercy all over Norv Turner’s reign, giving electro-acoustic transducer McCoy a chance to revitalize the Chargers. With 3 new items on the offensive line, the schedule manufacturers weren’t too kind, matching them up against the league’s high defensive player, Houston’s JJ Watt. Watt can showing bad manners welcome tiro DJ Fluker into the league because the Texans obtain a road win to finish off Week one.
