    I love the enthusiam but seriously your going crazy with the upset picks, but it isn't completely crazy. I highly doubt the Raiders take down the Titans and I like the Texans over the Colts.

    The Raiders aren't a bad team anymore. Look at their roster - they have a lot of talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball. If Campbell protects the football, they'll win a good amount of games...especially if that shitty division.

    The Titans are a one-man show on offense. If Chris Johnson can't get things going against a pretty good Raiders' run defense, they're fucked.

    Oh I know the Raiders have the potential to win games this year but the Titans ended last season on a big high note, I feel Young will continue to be solid. If the Titans secondary gets their shit together like two seasons ago they'll be a tough ass team.

    But I guess picking the raiders isn't that farfetched. This year will start like last year, with lots of teams playing decent ball and no one really knowing who is real or not. It happens all the time but I felt that last year so many teams looked good at seasons start like I've never seen before, but I've only been a fan for 11 years so my opinion only goes so far.

    Top 3 picks listed with write-ups.

    Chiefs +5.5 over Chargers
    San Diego has ruled the AFC West for years, but that success usually doesn't start in the first week. Kansas City has playmakers on offense in Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe, and for a home opener, the fans have some hope for an improved season. San Diego started off last season with Oakland and struggled on Monday night before winning late. Every year they seem to start slowly before figuring it out late. Without OT Marcus McNeil and WR Vincent Jackson, this year should be no different. In front of a home crowd, look for the upset in the last game of the week.
    Chiefs 24, Chargers 20

    Bengals +5 over Patriots
    This shapes up to be one of the best games of the week. New England is a perennial power, but Cincinnati is shaping up to be a lot better this season. The defense, which was ravaged by injuries at the end of last year, is healthy again, and they still have Leon Hall and Johnathan Joseph, one of the best cornerback tandems in the NFL. Terrell Owens might still have something left, he might not, but it's safe to say he's better than Laveranues Coles at this stage. Jermaine Gresham also adds an interesting athlete at tight end, making the Bengals a very well-rounded team offensively. New England can pass, but Cincinnati can slow down it down, and New England's defense has too many question marks to keep up with Chad Ochocinco, Owens, Cedric Benson, and Gresham. They could even get the road win, but somehow I think Brady pulls it out in the end.
    Patriots 28, Bengals 27

    Steelers +2.5 over Falcons
    No Roethlisberger and no Holmes means that Pittsburgh is suddenly a home underdog week one. However, Dennis Dixon is an interesting mobile quarterback who should give Atlanta fits and be better than expected. But the bigger question is how does Atlanta score? Pittsburgh's defense is stout up front, and with Troy Polamalu healthy, the secondary should be a lot better than it was last season. The Falcons also have struggled on the road in the past few years, so facing a Steelers team in their home opener will not be easy for Matt Ryan and company. This game will be close, and it very well could be a field goal fest. Take the better team and the points.
    Steelers 17, Falcons 16

    Now, for the other games.
    Bears (-6.5) 31, Lions 24
    Colts (-2.5) 24, Texans 20
    Browns (+2.5) 20, Buccaneers 17
    Giants 20, Panthers (+6.5) 17
    Dolphins 24, Bills (+3.5) 21
    Rams (+3.5) 17, Cardinals 13
    Jaguars (-2.5) 24 , Broncos 20
    Titans (-6.5) 28, Raiders 17
    49ers (-3.5) 20, Seahawks 14
    Packers 20, Eagles (+4) 17
    Cowboys (-3.5) 21, Redskins 14
