NFL Week One: Part V, Jets Fly High & Defense Rules In Pittsburgh

Mark Sanchez will have to have his game on early as the Jets will be spotlighted on nationwide television Monday night to start their season against the hard hitting Baltimore Ravens.

I will pick the Jets to win this game at home, keeping pace with division rivals Miami and New England to start the season 1-0.

The defense will have to be as sharp as possible with the added offense of Anquan Boldin to the Ravens receiver corps.

Darrelle Revis will hopefully handle that aspect. The Jets have some new options also, and the defense should be very good.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a nice healthy team to start the season against the Falcons. Hopefully, the defense should be back to it's confident self with Polamalu back.

The Atlanta Falcons will win their share of games this season. Just not this one.

Previously picked to go with the Jets, and the Steelers as winners the first week are New Orleans, Chicago, Miami, Cleveland, Green Bay, The New York Giants, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the New England Patriots.

Please comment on any picks in any of the previous parts of this article, one through four.

This Week One of the NFL 2010 Season is almost figured out as we have six games left to handicap.

Stay tuned as doubt sets in, and maybe someone changes ny mind on something.

So far, I could try Cincinnati in an upset pick over New England as a switch, and I could be tempted to try the Lions, though I doubt that second one.

I like Miami as a lock and Cleveland as a solid pick also.

Have a nice week, as I await your response.
