Week 1 NFL Picks

I'm not fully committed to issuing weekly NFL picks for this season. I'm just not excited about football this year ... yet. But I decided to publish picks for Week 1, then see how it goes. The season starts on Thursday, September 4 with the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Philadelphia Eagles. So, here we go:

• Philadelphia Eagles beat Dallas Cowboys
• Kansas City Chiefs beat Los Angeles Chargers
• Atlanta Falcons beat Tampa Bay Buccaneers*
• Cincinnati Bengals beat Cleveland Browns
• Miami Dolphins beat Indianapolis Colts
• Las Vegas Raiders beat New England Patriots*
• Arizona Cardinals beat New Orleans Saints
• Pittsburgh Steelers beat New York Jets
• Washington Commanders beat New York Giants
• Jacksonville Jaguars beat Carolina Panthers
• Denver Broncos beat Tennessee Titans
• San Francisco 49ers beat Seattle Seahawks
• Detroit Lions beat Green Bay Packers
• Houston Texans beat Los Angeles Rams*
• Baltimore Ravens beat Buffalo Bills*
• Minnesota Vikings beat Chicago Bears

"Upset" picks -- which means outcomes that go against the majority picks among those playing ESPN's Pigskin Pick'em game as of the time I make my picks-- are marked with asterisks.

If I change any picks, it will before the game in question kicks off and I will clearly mark changes as changes in updates to this post.

If you'd like to play too, here's an invite link (so far as I know I don't get anything out of it except a "leaderboard" of me and everyone I invite so we can compete for bragging rights).
