Whoa! Way to go, I was wondering because I'm gone from 9/3 to 9/9 and was debating about picks.
I'll pick the Chiefs to beat the Lions, probably get the rest in Saturday when I get home. Could do them early, as first week is always tough to pick, no one knows what will happen.
Steelers looked good last night, first game, traveling cross country, I think I'd pick the Steelers.
Since we have almost two weeks to change our minds, I might update my picks as we progress through the pre-season.

NFL Week #1 The first week is always tough to pick, sigh Lions @ Chiefs--TNF
Panthers @ Falcons
Texans @ Ravens Bengals @ Browns Jaguars @ Colts
Buccaneers @ Vikings
Titans @ Saints 49ers @ Steelers
Cardinals @ Commanders
Packers @ Bears (toss up but edge to the Bears)
Raiders @ Broncos (please football gods, let this be a great season. I have had enough of losing since SB#50) Dolphins @ Chargers Eagles @ Patriots Rams @ Seahawks Cowboys @ Giants SNF (toss up here)
Bills @ Jets MNF (I know I am going against the grain here on this one, I don't think I have ever picked the Jets to win anything, ever!)

Reason: formatting
Lions @ Chiefs - If this were in Detroit.. Well, I'd still pick the Chiefs. But.. I do expect Lions to make a playoff run at the minimum this year.
Panthers @ Falcons - Ouch. I have to go with the Falcons just because.. Experience. They have SOME at QB.
Texans @ Ravens - Yeah, again, experience. While Houston will be better this year. Not this better, not this soon. Bengals @ Browns - I'm not overly sure what to expect from the Browns. This could be a surprise. Jaguars @ Colts - Lots of the hope for the Colts goes away once Irsay opens his mouth.
Buccaneers @ Vikings - Vikings are another interesting team this year. They can't have the luck they did last year in single score games.. Could they?
Titans @ Saints - Carr will improve the Saints, and they will win the South.. But that's just basically by default. They won't be great. But.. They will be good. 49ers @ Steelers - Steelers could surprise here. I'm not sold on this pick.
Cardinals @ Commanders - Washington will turn heads. I think they have a good shot at playoffs if they get decent play from Howell and good play from the defense. Packers @ Bears - I'm not a believer in Fields. Raiders @ Broncos - Upset special of the week (No idea the odds here, so maybe just an upset in my eyes). I think the Broncos will be much improved (How could they not be?) but.. I think the Raiders have something to prove.
Dolphins @ Chargers - I'm going with the home team here. Eagles @ Patriots - So long as the Eagles don't have a hangover, they should take this.
Rams @ Seahawks - I still don't believe in Geno. But.. I think the Rams are a hot mess. Cowboys @ Giants - I'm not sold on the Giants, and.. Again.. I think Dallas takes the East because of the no repeat rule. Bills @ Jets - I don't discount the Jets here, but the Jets will have to show me that they're not.. The Jets.
Early weeks.. Always fun. You're balancing what you remember from last year vs what you think will happen this year.. And.. You hope and pray to hit .500 pretty much.
As I recall, most of us get pretty well destroyed most week 1's.
Went with Packers I don't believe they'll be as bad as some think. A very young team, there will be mistakes. Packers have a top O line, returning players on "D", ST has to sort itself out. Fields isn't great, Bears won 3 games last year. All of a sudden they're going to be great? Right!
