(my picks in bold)
WEEK 1
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11
EARLY GAMES
New Orleans at Carolina (FOX, Carter Blackburn and Tim Green)
---The Panthers will get their revenge after their loss to the Saints in the season finale last year.
Houston at Buffalo (CBS, Gus Johnson and Brent Jones)
---Willis McGahee is the back in Buffalo. It's his world, folks.
Cincinnati at Cleveland (CBS, Ian Eagle and Solomon Wilcots)
---Trent Dilfer's first start as a Brown. He's the class act of all class acts.
New York Jets at Kansas City (CBS, Jim Nantz, Phil Simms, and Bonnie Bernstein)
---GAME OF THE DAY: The Chiefs have an improved defense, on paper. But will that translate to on-the-field success in 2005? We'll find out soon enough.
Denver at Miami (CBS, Verne Lundquist, Dan Dierdorf, and Armen Keteyian)
---UPSET OF THE DAY: Nick Saban earns his first victory in the NFL.
Tampa Bay at Minnesota (FOX, Curt Menefee and JC Pearson)
---Am I the only one who doesn't think the Vikings are Super Bowl contenders?
Tennessee at Pittsburgh (CBS, Kevin Harlan and Randy Cross)
---Norm Chow makes his debut as offensive coordinator of the Titans.
Chicago at Washington (FOX, Dick Stockton, Daryl Johnston, and Tony Siragusa)
---Over/under? I'll say 16.
Seattle at Jacksonville (FOX, Craig Shemon and Erik Kramer)
---Who is Craig Shemon? As far as the game goes, I look for Ken Hamlin to lay the hammer down on his fellow Razorback, Matt Jones. This has to happen.
LATE GAMES
Green Bay at Detroit (FOX, Kenny Albert and Brian Baldinger)
---I'll say it...the Packers will be 6-10 this season.
Arizona at New York Giants (FOX, Sam Rosen, Bill Maas, and Chris Myers)
---The Cardinals will also be 6-10. Take that, media hacks.
Dallas at San Diego (FOX, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Pam Oliver)
---This will be the first of 16 Cowboys games that I'll get in my area. Yippie.
St. Louis at San Francisco (FOX, Ron Pitts and Tim Ryan)
---I'm still livid at the fact that the Seahawks lost 3 times to the Rams. No, I did not talk Seahawks-Rams while I was in St. Louis. I wanted to keep the blood pressure at a steady level. The last thing I needed while I was on my trip was a visit to the hospital.
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Indianapolis at Baltimore (ESPN, Mike Patrick, Paul Maguire, Joe Theismann, and Suzy Kolber)
---Number of times Paul Maguire gushes over Ray Lewis: 76
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Philadelphia at Atlanta (ABC, Al Michaels, John Madden, and Michele Tafoya)
---It's the final season of Monday Night Football on ABC. Not cool.
