NFL Week 1: Part IV, Predicting Doom for Denver While Bill Belichick Plots

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan on starting the season by stuffing the football down the Broncos' throats all game long, with a great ground attack, speed and quickness at quarterback, and defense.

In short, I can't buy into Josh McDaniel any longer and feel that the Broncos will be only about an 8-9 win team this season.

This will be pick number seven in Week One of the 2010 NFL Season. Jags by 8-10 points at home will happen.

In previous picks, we have selected New Orleans to cover at home by seven, with a higher spread taking the Vikings if points are involved, in Week 1.

Miami has been chosen to decimate the Bills in Buffalo.

Green Bay has been picked to win on the road against Philadelphia up to around six to eight points.

Cleveland had been selected to win against Tampa Bay to start the season.

Chicago is favored and will win at home against Detroit to open up a new season for Cutler and the Bears.

The New York Giants should handle Carolina in New York by a good margin, as changes develop slowly on both teams. More for Carolina at key positions.

This leaves us with our second pick of this series of articles.

If you would like to comment on any or all selections, please do so on the article with the teams you are interested in commenting on.

This is part four of eight NFL pairs of picks for WEEK 1.

New England, who missed the boat last season, hosts newly crowned Division-winning Cincinnati Bengals for the first game of the season.

Bill Belichick must be busy tweaking the defense, because the offense is a bit predictable, throwing the ball to Welker and Moss a bunch, and the occasional run.

The Bengals played very well last season, only to come up short in the playoffs, where it's a bit more important.

This game is a toss-up as far I am concerned, and difficult to handicap for the first week, but I have a feeling last season was not a fluke and Cincinnati will remain one of the stronger teams in the AFC.

The Patriots, however, survive this round to live to fight another day.

New England 30, Cincinnati 27.

That's half the first week done. Look for Week 1 NFL winning picks, Part V, as soon as I get around to it.

I have a month or two still.
