I'm going with the Eagles losing to the Rams. I say this mainly because of the defense that's pretty weak with the exception of the great corners. Hopefully their offensive line can do something this week if not Vick will be in trouble. Granted, IDK how the Rams are looking so I may be completely wrong with my prediction, and hopefully I am since the Falcons will be a tough game, especially if the go into it with the risk of coming out 0-2.

Buffalo over KC is tempting for some reason, but I think Cowboys over Jets is more likely.

Babin, Jenkins, and Cole... that's 3 probowlers on the D-Line.... Anyway, upsets usually happen within a division, so I'm going with the Fins over the Pats. Pessimistic Eagles fans are a dime a dozen...

neither of those are really upsets. they're just games that could go either way :?

Eagles losing to the Rams (Eagles=no chemistry on DEF, Rams=Uprising team with a young Quarterback. Eagles don't play the Rams often which usually works for the underdogs)

Dolphins over Patriots (Division game. We know the Dolphins "can" post a win over the Pats. "Wild-cat" anyone.

Buffalo over KC (buffalo and KC are about equals)

Cowboys over Jets (both good teams, cowboys made playoffs in seasons 2007 with the NFC best record and 2009 losing only to the vikings.)

DET over TB (TB was 10-6 only to miss the playoffs and DET is known as underaccomplishing always lookin like somehting more.)

Hou over IND (what's the record in this Div game. It's like the Dolph over the Pats)

So whats your point?:?

if I had to choose I would say the Rams and Eagles but really, none of these week 1 matchups have that hype that say if the underdog wins, it will be considered a "big upset."

That's exactly how I see it as well. Both games actually seem pretty even, the Lions even beat the Bucs last year so I fail to see how the Bucs are favored.

Dolphins over Pats or Cowboys over Jets (I am a very pessimistic Jets fan which happens when your whole life they've never done anything good)

Why does hardly anyone think the Rams can beat the Eagles, Week 1, at home in St. Louis? The Eagles have a new DC who was coaching OL previously.

Vikings over Chargers.

Chargers are designed to fail in September.

Rams don't really have a defense and the Eagles have a stacked offense so....

Simple

Any questions? You can nit pick all you want, but a Vick lead Eagles will simply outscore the Rams on Turf.

Which make the Rams all more worrysome to me. Its your perfect upset senario.

The Colts beating the Texans without P.Manning would actually be the upset of the day. Don't see it happening though. Don't see the Eagles losing indoors on the turf. Could see the Skins beating the injury riddled Giants. Can't see Romo beating the Jets D.
