Week 1 Picks

Who doesn't love to try and predict the future? Whether you enter in to an official pool around the office or with friends, picking who you think is going to win each week is as much a part of football as watching your favorite team.

Now there's an opportunity to see how you match up against other football fans and "local experts." The Morning Journal is hosting a Pro Football Pick 'em Contest. Simply go to the website and sign up.

Each week, you pick the winner for each game up to 15 minutes before it is scheduled to start. Your four worst weeks are thrown out, so only your best 17 weeks count toward your overall score. It's fun and easy!

This year, I'm among the VIP participants in the contest so you can see how your picks measure up to mine. And, just to tempt you a little more into joining this contest, I'll post my picks right here so you can see them ahead of time.

Here are my picks for Week 1 (home teams in all caps):
  • Titans over STEELERS
  • FALCONS over Dolphins
  • Chiefs over RAVENS
  • Eagles over PANTHERS
  • Broncos over BENGALS
  • TEXANS over Jets
  • COLTS over Jaguars
  • SAINTS over Lions
  • Cowboys over BUCCANEERS
  • CARDINALS over 49ers
  • GIANTS over Redskins
  • SEAHAWKS over Rams
  • Bears over PACKERS
  • PATRIOTS over Bills
  • Chargers over RAIDERS
  • BROWNS over Vikings
Think you can do better than me? Prove it.

Go Browns!
