NFL Picks Week 1: 3 Games That Will Shock and Surprise in Week 1

Wake up early on Sunday and prepare yourself for some memorable NFL games. Week 1 promises to be the stuff of legend, as the following games will be burned into our memories for the season. 

It is true that any given Sunday, something wild and crazy will remind you how great this sport can be. No team is free from upset. Even the best teams have letdowns during the 16-game season.

Week 1 will give us what we crave in unlikely results. 

Here are the games that you would normally find dull and trivial. Well make sure you have them at the very least recorded so you can go back and see what all the hype is about.

Football is back, and you don't want to miss a second of these barn burners that will make your weekend. These are the contests you will be talking about the next day at work. 

1. Philadelphia Eagles at St. Louis Rams

This game has been highlighted as a drubbing in waiting. It will be far closer than you all think. The Rams have the tools to pull off a mammoth upset. 

The defense is renewed with seasoned vets and the defensive line looks fierce. The Eagles will have to fend off an unrelenting attack. There is also the obvious note that Sam Bradford is the scariest second-year player in recent memory.

Bradford now has weapons lining up for him allowing the Rams to get vertical.

2. Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs

This one should go to the Chiefs, right? Wrong. The Chiefs looked horrible in the preseason, and week 1 will be a carryover.

The Chiefs defensive front looks shoddy, making me confident that Ryan Fitzpatrick will have one of his superb games that stays quiet in the headlines.

3. Dallas Cowboys at New York Jets

The Jets enter Sunday night's game as Super Bowl contenders. The Cowboys, for once, do not.

The pressure is off of America's team, leaving them to worry about winning the ballgame, not impressing the masses. Rob Ryan's defense will surprise a lot of people, including Mark Sanchez.
