The way I'm going to do it is simply pick the winner of the team, no spread. The NFL team I'm picking to win the game will be listed to the left. I will also keep track of my record in doing so as the season progresses and have some commentary up before I do that next weeks picks.
And here we go. The first week of games of a new NFL season is always the hardest to pick because even if you factor in last year's records, free agency gains and losses, retirements, injuries and other intangibles you still don't have a good baseline idea as of yet what teams will be good, which teams will be great, what teams are playoff caliber and which ones stink until the fourth or fifth week of the season.
Not making excuses, just being real about that.
And what a way to get the season started with a Thursday night battle between the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers and last season's Super Bowl champs the New Orleans Saints.
So let's do this.. home team is in bold print.
