It's time for me to make my picks official:
Vikings 24, Saints 20 - Gotta go with the hometown team in a close game.
Raiders 13, Titans 20 - This game is in Tennessee, and I don't think this is the Raiders year to stop being putrid.
Lions 20, Bears 30 - Suh will be an impact player for the Lions, but Chester Taylor will bail out his team early in his Bears debut, wearing down much of the Lions defense by keeping them on the field.
Dolphins 24, Bills 10 - The Bills will just stink it up next season.
Falcons 14, Steelers 23 - The Steelers defense holds on just long enough for Dennis Dixon to get his first NFL victory.
Broncos 28, Jaguars 17 - Jags get humiliated and prove that Jacksonville isn't suitable for an NFL team any more.
Colts 28, Texans 31 - This will be a close one, but I think they Texans will pull it out in Houston.
Browns 20, Buccaneers 17 - Jake Delhomme guides the Browns to victory, but not before a few mishaps by teammates keep the game closer than it actually was.
Panthers 17, Giants 33 - The Giants will romp all over a rebuilding Panthers team.
Bengals 36, Patriots 29 - The Bengals will show off their superior offensive firepower and steal a game in Foxboro.
Cardinals 23, Rams 20 - The Cardinals defense and Larry Fitzgerald will bail out
Packers 34, Eagles 33 - The Packers, despite allowing Aaron Rodgers to
49ers 23, Seahawks 19 - Both teams will look improved and will be challenging for the NFC West title, but I think the Niners will pull out a road win.
Cowboys 27, Redskins 28 - McNabb will carry the Redskins to one of the biggest upsets of the season.
Ravens 27, Jets 23 - The Ravens will spoil the start of Mark Sanchez's second season, but it will be a close game.
Chargers 33, Chiefs 24 - The Chargers will show why they're the top team in the AFC West against a Kansas City team that will look a lot better than it did last season because Matt Cassel realizes that he actually has to be a vocal leader on a team like the Chiefs.
