Titans upset Browns.

I'd love to see that, but the O-line of the titans is a disaster .... I think Dupree is going to have a better season this year, but it was not normal that Dupree looking like Lawrence Taylor against the Titans in the pre season!

It could be ugly against Myles Garrett and the rest of their defensive line ... Only chance for the titans is if the titans defense are able to keep the score down and they are able to run the ball very well on offense(Maybe they will need over 150 rushing yards to win this game)

Pittsburgh upsets NE.

Yeah,but this is not in this list!

In the 8 games I wrote in the open thread, which underdog do you think is more likely to win?

Jags over Chiefs. Two teams Im hating right now are Chiefs and Browns. It seems one of them is scheduled to play Pats in AFC championship game already.

Out of that list, I'd say Miami over Baltimore. But out of all the games with a serious spread, I'd say Pittsburgh over NE is the most likely upset. The oddsmakers are putting way too much emphasis on AB and "superbowl" and not enough emphasis on how the teams have changed during the off- season. NE suffered a huge downgrade on offense while the Steelers have dramatically improved on defense.

Dolphins... 100%

Fitzmagic has his annual game (or two) where he looks like the greatest QB ever (before turning back into a pumpkin).

Jaguars are going to rebound on defense and Fournette will rebound. They upset the Chiefs.

I agree with the consensus above on the Jags over the Chiefs

Titties over the Turds.

I'm not buying into any of the Cleveland hype until I can actually see these guys put it together on Sunday. Their offense looked like a bunch of trained monkeys for most of the pre-season.

I’d also say Packers over the Bears. Bears are favored but I think their D takes a step back this season and I think people are overlooking Green Bay.

I do not think it would be a big upset

I think the Bears are better and they will win tomorrow, but I would not be surprised if the Packers win this game and they have 11 wins or more this year ... That's why this game was not in this list!

Why do you think that the Bears take a step back did they lose somebody? Did the pack improve that much? I know they let Clay go so not sure how much that will help them this year. I also know the Bears demolished the pack last year. I am just curious on what your thoughts are and why you think they pack will beat the bears.

I didn't follow these teams in the off season so anything is possible, but the pack have a new coach and a lot to overcome INHO unless something drastically changed that I am not aware of.

Titans over Browns
Giants over Dallas

The Browns didn't impress me at all in the preseason. They remind me of the Seahawks in the mid 90's where they were always expected to be a 'future force to be reckoned with' with all their young talent, but continued to suck until the mid 2000s. Giants usually play Dallas tough and I think they're improved this year.

The biggest favorite to win this week right now are the Eagles(10 points favorite at home vs Redskins) and Seahawks(9.5 points favorite,also at home).The Ravens(in Miami),the Cowboys(at home vs NYG) and the Saints(also at home) are favorite by 7 points.

If I have to choose the team that is most likely to have an upset, my choice is the Texans.

For some reason, the Saints always start terrible the season since 2014 .... They started 0-2 from 2014 to 2017 and last year they lost in week 1 48-40 at home against the Bucs and in week 2 , they were almost 0-2 once again with a 21-18 win against Hue Jackson and the Browns because the Browns kicker had missed 4 kick (2 FG and 2 XP, so 8 points in total) and the Saints had only 3 points after 3 quarter.They always start very slow for some reason...

I don’t think the Bears lost anyone. I think they actually retained most of their starters and depth players. I just see them in that Jaguars type pattern where they just don’t perform as well as they did the previous year. There’s no factual evidence. Packers on the other hand are already being written off by a lot of people. Rodgers will be playing with a chip on his shoulder, he’s healthy, the whole team is healthy for the most part...that’s always been a problem in the past for the Packers. They have their offensive starters figured out, which they didn’t last season.
