Pretzel’s Picks Week 1

Minnesota Vikings by 4 at the Cleveland Browns

With all of the weapons on the Vikings offense and their top 5 defence I don’t see how Cleveland has a chance. Cleveland has the opposite situation so I look for Minnesota to take this one by 10 at least.

NY Giants by 6.5 over Washington Redskins

This game is going to be a tough, grind it out defensive battle. I look for New York to just get by Redskins in a hard fought division tilt.  Giants by a field goal over Washington.

New England Patriots by 11 over the Buffalo Bills

The Bills looked terrible in the preseason, so bad in fact they fired their offensive coordinator.  In Brady’s first game back since this time last year I look for Belichick to send a message that he is back and fully ready to perform.  Patriots are going to run it up at home.  New England by 2 touchdowns over Buffalo.

Philadelphia Eagles by 2.5 At Carolina Panthers

In my upset pick of the week, I look for the Panthers to run all over the Eagles.  DeAngelo Williams will show us that last year was not a fluke.  Carolina Panthers by a touchdown at home over the Philadelphia Eagles.
