Carson Wentz throws for 285 with 4 touchdowns

RG3 throws 200 yards 2 touchdowns and 1 pick as Browns beat Eagles

Every AFC South and East team loses their first game.

Rivers leads SD to an upset over KC

[21isSuperman]

Jimmy Garoppolo throws 0 TDs and 2+ INTs as the Pats score less than 10 points.  I actually like Jimmy G and I hope he does well, but I don't see him having a good game against a strong Arizona defense.

Miami covers the spread (+10)  at Seattle

Rodgers takes up Ramsey on his threat and gets picked twice by the rookie. But of course the Packers will still win.

No Gronk, his first regular season start, strong Arizona D, Chandler Jones could be motivated to prove the Pats made a mistake in trading him, that secondary is very good with Mathieu and Peterson, Pats are on the road, and I think Arizona will be motivated after how their season ended last year.  Not only that, but Arians is an aggressive coach, and I think he'll want to send a message to the league that the Cardinals are gonna try to crush everyone they face this year.  Belichick is a great coach and great strategist, but everything is set up in favour of the Cards

Packers' Jordy Nelson catches 3 TD passes at Jacksonville

I think Solder and Vollmer are out too.  That should be anything the living legend Jimmy G can't handle though.

  Deion Sanders will give deeply intellectual and Lombardi-like commentary

[2006Coltsbestever]

Right off hand I cant think of anything bold to pick. Bold would be picking a major upset or someone breaking a 1 game record. I think most of us agree that the Pats are going to lose, Gronk is also out now so that isn't bold picking against them. I think the Colts will win but we are favored. I cant see the Jags beating the Packers either. How about Bears over Texans in Houston? Osweiler throws 2 picks and gets sacked 3 times. I will roll with that for my bold pick, Bears 19 Texans 17.
