Within two days, The Patriots and Chiefs will kick off the new season at Foxborough, where the defending champs will show off their fifth Lombardi trophy. There’s some matchups headlining Week 1 including the Carr vs Mariota showdown in Nashville, A revamped Seahawks team heads to Lambeau, Dallas, with a newly freed Elliot defend home turf against New York, McCaffery makes his anticipated debut against the new look 49ers and former MVP Adrian Peterson makes his Saint debut against his old squad. Here are the predictions I made for the first week of the new season.
(Note: Due to Hurricane Irma, the Dolphins-Bucs game was cancelled and might be moved to a netural stadium or a Week 11 matchup against both teams (both teams have byes that week)
