NFL Picks - Week 1

Each week throughout the season, the Sports Guys will pick each game in a unique style. Not only will we provide our picks, but we'll rank each game by how confident we are in them. Then, we can compete weekly and for the whole year on who scored the most points based on picks.

For example, in week 1 there are 16 games. So when we made our picks below, we ranked them 16 to 1. The game we were most confident in was given 16 points. The least confident pick was give a single point. For every game we pick correctly, we will be given the amount of points we assigned to it.

So without further ado, here are our week 1 NFL picks:

Andrew:


16    –    Houston over Miami
15    –    Detroit over St. Louis
14    –    Chicago over Indianapolis
13    –    Philadelphia over Cleveland
12    –    New England over Tennessee
11    –    Green Bay over San Francisco
10    –    New Orleans over Washington
9      –    Atlanta over Kansas City
8      –    Baltimore over Cincinnati
7      –    NYG over Dallas
6      –    Minnesota over Jacksonville
5      –    NYJ over Buffalo
4      –    Denver over Pittsburgh
3      –    Seattle over Arizona
2      –    Carolina over Tampa Bay
1      –    Oakland over San Diego

11    –    Baltimore over Cincinnati
10    –    NYG over Dallas
9      –    Denver over Pittsburgh
8      –    Buffalo over NYJ
7      –    Tampa Bay over Carolina
6      –    Oakland over San Diego

If you wish to play along, go ahead and join us in the comment section. If you can do it the whole year, we'll keep an up to date standings. If you only play certain weeks, we will determine a winner each week. Points will be the most important, but if there is a tie, we'll go to picks. If that's a tie, we'll go to game importance (if you lost your 16 point game vs. the other team who lost their 15 point game, you lose). Don't think it will come to that but wanted to be official.

If you don't want to play along but just want to make fun of our picks, that's cool too. Enjoy week 1, as I'm sure we will!

Andrew and Greg

  1. Only one game into the week, and we both have one incorrect pick... The loss for the Giants cost you a possible 10 points, but only 7 points for me. Seeing as I also picked the Cowboys to win their division this year, I'm good with it!
