Phil's NFL Picks: Week 1
Eagles @ Packers
Green Bay won their final four games of 2006, but can Brett Farve carry the load by himself?
PICK: EAGLES
Zach's Thought: Can the Packers overcome the age of Brett Favre? I take Philly.

Broncos @ Bills
This could be a make or break season for JP Losman.
PICK: BRONCOS
Zach's thought: It's difficult to remember a time when the Bills weren't 6-10/7-9. I take Denver.

Chiefs @ Texans
The Matt Schaub era begins for Houston.
PICK: TEXANS
Zach's thought: And a miserable season begins for the Chiefs.

Steelers @ Browns
Fast Fact: Cleveland is 1-11 against AFC North teams in the past two years.
PICK: STEELERS
Zach's thought: Nice to see Josh Cribbs giving Pittsburgh more motivation. Steelers

Titans @ Jaguars
Most curious move of the 2007 preseason was Jacksonville cutting Bryon Leftwich after the final exhibition game.
PICK: JAGUARS
Zach's thought: That and the Steelers challenging that interception tackle in that preseason game. Jags.

Falcons @ Vikings
Joey Harrington as the starting QB just doesn't give me that warm and fuzzy feeling toward Atlanta.
PICK: VIKINGS
Zach's thought:Warm and fuzzy? I think that's the turf in the Metrodome. Vikings.

Patriots @ Jets
Tom Brady actually has NFL worthy receivers to throw to? Surely you jest!
PICK: PATRIOTS
Zach's thought: I'm tempted to say the Jets will have a disappointing season. Patriots

Panthers @ Rams
Are we far from the Jake Delhomme days coming to an end in Carolina?
PICK: RAMS
Zach's thought: No. Rams

Dolphins @ Redskins
Good: Miami found a successor for Dan Marino. Bad: It is Trent Green and they signed him 10 years too late.
PICK: REDSKINS
Zach's thought: Mediocre teams. Mediocre game. Dolphins.

Lions @ Raiders
At least Detroit got all of their draft picks signed, which is more than I can say for Oakland at the time of this writing.
PICK: LIONS
Zach's thought: The 2007 Raiders make the 1999 Browns look organized. Lions.

Buccaneers @ Seahawks
Healthy again, Seattle needs to avoid the injury bug that plagued them last season.
PICK: SEAHAWKS
Zach's thought: This is the most comfortable game for me to pick. Seahawks.

Bears @ Chargers
Rookie TE Greg Olson may not play due to an injury. That would be a big blow to Chicago's offense.
PICK: CHARGERS
Zach's thought: The AFC beats the NFC every time.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Giants @ Cowboys
Can't wait to see how much Tiki Barber rips his old team.
PICK: COWBOYS
Zach's thought: I can't wait to see Terrell Owens throw Wade Wilson under the bus. Cowboys.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Ravens @ Bengals
Mind upset as Cincinnati's offense exposes a old Ravens defense.
PICK: BENGALS
Zach's thought: I HATE the Bengals. Bengals.


MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Cardinals @ 49ers
"The Bears were who we THOUGHT they were!" Arizona on Monday night always equals fun.
PICK: 49ERS
Zach's Thought: Somebody has to win. 49ers.
