NFL Week 1 Picks: Early Predictions for All Season Openers

September 7, 2015   ·   Michelle Bruton   ·   Jump to comments

Preseason football—the much maligned and slightly annoying younger brother of regular-season NFL football—has finally concluded, and the return of real football begins Thursday. 
It's a doozy of a matchup to open regular-season play. Tom Brady will triumphantly lead the New England Patriots onto the field to face the Pittsburgh Steelers at home, and fans have to be hoping that something newsworthy will happen in the matchup to take the focus off Deflategate.   
Just think: Analysts will soon be able to talk about Brady's—and the league's 31 other starting quarterbacks'—play on the field rather than tired offseason storylines!
Everyone enters Week 1 with a clean slate at 0-0, but that doesn't mean every team is equally matched. Let's make some early predictions for each game, followed by an analysis of a few that are sure to be must-see matchups.
