NFL 2011 Week 1 Predictions

Less than 24 hours to kickoff of a new season! Here are some Week 1 predictions. Thinking back to week 1 last year, too much should not be made of what happens: the big stories were Jets fans panicking over Mark Sanchez' poor performance in the preseason and season opener, and analysts announcing the Texans had finally arrived after an upset victory over the Colts. Anyway, post your predictions in the comments and we'll see who truly has a crystal ball wrapped in pigskin . . .

Good picks--I'll keep a running score, but if you end up in last place you have to write a blog post of the winner's choice!

A blog post of the winner's choice? Game on!

I'm assuming that the last place person is stuck with that duty for the winner in this bet and I'm not the only one on the hook here? :)

Of course: loser writes winner a post, and second place just gets to watch. Great game Thursday night, even if it leaved me behind already...
