Swami KE’s week 1 predictions

Raiders VS Ravens 

Thoughts 

This game will pretty much come down to who can establish the run and consistently. The Ravens have a bad habit of starting the year slow to establish their rookies . Meanwhile, the raiders have a good habit of starting fast and picking up right where they left off the season before getting their superstars the ball. This game could go either away but the biggest key will be hook can  strike more explosive plays while limiting their counterpart . I’m sure we both love how we match up Vs anybody so this will just be a battle of wills and attrition. 

Prediction 

I like me over anybody respectfully 

Patriots at Jets 

Thoughts 

This is the debut of not only Caleb Williams, but also Trevor paranoid Lawrence . This game will be fun because we will be able to see if fallon was right in his assessment of Trevor And also if Neff was right, drafting Caleb Williams over Quinn ewers and changing his offense . There are small things to pay attention to in this game. Like the fact, the Jets don’t have a number one corner anymore after trading sauce Gardner for Trevor Lawrence. Also, the patriots rookies from season one are now veterans in their second year, so what kind of Leap will they make? This is actually a big game and could decide wildcard standings later. 

Prediction 

Patriots 27 jets 24 

Nef gets more explosive plays and paranoid Lawrence gets spooked when fallen needs him most . 

Titans and bills 

Thoughts

This matchup features one wildcard team from last season and another that was just out of the wildcard last season so this game could come back to bite the loser later , The bills aren’t as good as they were last season and their coach I believe doesn’t have the will to want to prove doubters wrong . The Titans are tricky because we don’t know if they are playing for stats or if they’re playing  to win. The offensive line isn’t that much better than last season so they will be heavy dependent on a run game in Long Td strikes to Quez watkins to put up points.

Prediction 

Bills 38 titans 17 

Titans be playing and don’t seem serious enough to beat a real good opponent  . This ain’t the bubba y’all told me was a cheeser but killa . Tb ain’t got no heart but he still talented on them sticks as anybody . 

Bears and packers 

Thoughts 

Bears pulled off a very surprising move trading Justin Fields to the Jaguars in the offseason . It seems like SP is just trying to figure it out. I remember before team selections. Everybody was on him about having a ready-made Jets team to win the Super Bowl and he proclaimed  I can’t wait to go to the ghetto ! I guess the ghetto is way tougher than he ever imagined cause the other day he said he couldn’t wait for team selections . The Packers are coming off of the NFC championship loss and are finally Stepping into a season without Aaron Rodgers. It’s been 20 years since they could say that, but they are very high on Hendon hooker. And I’m hearing reports they have a new game plan that they can’t wait to unleash on not only their division, but the NFC in general.

Prediction

Packers 31 bears 16

Packers prove to be too much and make key defensive stops that change the course of the game early 

Seahawks at Vikings 

Thoughts 

This game is the story of two different teams going in two different directions. The Vikings are descending. Zach Wilson is not it. The team hasn’t been better and CEO doesn’t know how to get his best player the football. the Seahawks on the other hand are ascending . if it were not for a rookie quarterback, blowing potentially three or four games, the Seahawks could’ve not only challenge for their division, but for the NFC in general with CJ Stroud going into year two i expect a big leap from him. 

Prediction 

Seahawks 24 Vikings 21

Z got too much king mike in him pause to lose this game 

Giants at Panthers

Thoughts

Both these teams are turning in the right direction heading into season three. The Giants are getting better and better. Their whole team needs to be tested for HGH. Saquon is back Daniel is back and now they have a true explosive TE weapon . The Panthers are actually a season removed from going winless, and with another year under Anthony Richardson‘s belt i expect a good Leep from him. The panthers still have that great backfield and young explosive weapons on the end . It’s gonna be intriguing to see how JT uses Marvin Harrison JR this season . I’m our preseason game MHJR had a long 50 yard pass on the first play and didn’t see the ball after that . 

Prediction 

Giants 34 panthers 24

Panthers put up some points but a young defense fails them . The giants play within themselves Understanding it’s only a matter of time before they can take advantage of a bad read , 

Saints at Bucs 

Thoughts

The Saints, I’m sure all reminders before this game with his team overall is

Prediction

Bucs 38 saints 14

Cowboys and eagles

Thoughts

The Cowboys coach is finally not on vacation and gets to go into a season without Dak Prescott on the roster Tyhree Jackson takes over and he is by for the worst overall starting quarterback in week one, but let the Cowboys coach, Tell it , that doesn’t matter and Tyrhee is primed for breakout season. The Eagles coach is new and While I don’t know much about him. I know he let drama beat him in the play in so there’s only a cap on how good he really can be. We will see tho

Prediction

Cowboys 35 eagles 21

Jefe is having fun with his new toys while Cb learns his . But make no mistake if CB runs that rock he could pull an upset. 

Lions and rams

Thoughts

We already know how Kurt is coming Kurt is going to throw that ball to whomever and whatever he chooses. the Rams will look to take advantage. It’s gonna be interesting to see what the Rams do without X Factor, Bobby Wagner in the middle but at this point after winning the Super Bowl, there’s not much more you can say to him so a relaxed Rams coach might be even better one.

Prediction

Rams 39 lions 19

Mike Thomas hot route apprentice it’s just too much. The plethora of weapons are just too much . Curt throwing to anybody is too much  .

Cardinals at 49ers

Thoughts

This is actually an intriguing, matchup the Cardinals, coming into another fun season with their slogan  having fun and taking victories  or not it’s cool . the 49ers have some new shiny toys and a somewhat revamped offense The key to this game will be stops who can get those timely stops when you need em most.

Prediction

49ers 27 cardinals 24

Hard fault game but lance is playing for a new deal . 

Texans at Steelers

Thoughts 

Now this is the most intriguing game of the week one in my eyes because we all know the bad blood between the Steelers and the Texans . the Texans take every chance they get to shoot shots at the Steelers and the Steelers always come with the witty response. The biggest thing to this game is who can s*** the bed the least . A rod actually plays a better game when he feels motivated by disrespect I mean he knows he’s not that good but something about him turns up when he is going against somebody he feels isn’t that good but talks about how he ain’t that good if that makes sense, so this will be interesting to see who ain’t that good the most.

Prediction

Steelers 31 Texans 28

Drama comes to chat crying about how Arod cheated and falls asleep mid argument . 

Browns at chiefs 

Thoughts 

The Browns bring in a fresh new coach who loves to talk s*** but now it’s time to see if he backs it up . the Chiefs bringing a familiar coach who is motivated to prove he can bring the Chiefs back to the playoffs . The debut of number 1 pick James Williams will be fun 

Prediction 

Chiefs 31 browns 23

People don’t win their first game like that . 

Bengals at Broncos 

Thoughts 

The Bengals coming to this season confident as ever believing this will be the year they take the giant leap . the Broncos coming to this year happy they can still do damage with high balls pause . Cincys familiar cast is back and ready to go . Look for Jamar early and often but watch out for the rookie Quinton skinner who was brought in to be a big play #3 

Prediction

Bengals 38 broncos 17

Deebo Lowkey over it . He was in a game during the draft for crying out loud 

Commanders and Jaguars

Thoughts

This match up is of two teams are feel are coming into the season with blood in their mouth. The commanders got beat down in the playoffs. The Jaguars lost in the Super Bowl on a last second kick . The winner of this game would not be the person who can run the ball the best , they both will be able to run the ball. The winner of this game will be the person who can create the biggest plays in the passing game . this game is DJ Moore versus Terry McLaurin, not commanders versus jaguars. Secondly, this game is Sam Howell versus Justin Fields. 

Prediction

Commanders 37 jaguars 34

The Super Bowl loss hangover is Tuff, Trust me I know.

Colts at dolphins

Thoughts 

The colts coming into this season with an upgraded team because JC has shown he is one of the brightest young GM’s in our league history. I’m going to start calling JC Theo Epstein for the way he’s able to maneuver and create good teams. This game will be won by quarterback play Quinn ewers is making his first start, and while Zach Charbonnet will be leaned on, it will be up to Quinn to win the game. Meanwhile, for the dolphins they come into the season, fresh off of a heart, breaking AFC championship loss, and now have to deal with the quarterback regression, but on the bright side, they still have the fastest, offense ever assembled with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen waddle and Blake Corum, who could potentially be the best running back in the league. 

Predictions 

Colts 21 dolphins 17 

JC got D pause . And i think he will make enough stops to edge out a victory 

Falcons at chargers 

Thoughts

The Falcons have brought their overall up 10 points and now look to cash in on a better team by making the playoffs. This is Desmond Ridders third year as a starting quarterback, and Time for him to make that big leap. Meanwhile, the Chargers are doing with the chargers do, and thats revamping and retooling their team, every season and coming in the start of the season with high hopes. 

Predictions 

Chargers 27 falcons 22

Justin Herbert has a great game and Hd surprisingly stops the run. And after a victory he comes in chat proclaiming this is go season .and you know what. .. maybe he is ight
