Thoughts?
(To see why I changed to Seattle, look at the Week 1 Survivor Thread)
I agree with the vast majority of your picks. I still think the Rams are going to win at home though, and don't think the Chargers will cover.
I like the pick of Atlanta over Minnesota. Everyone thinks the Falcons are done without Vick, but they seem to have forgotten that he was a very mediocre passer. Both teams play in a dome, so the noise shouldn't be too jarring for the Falcons. The Vikings can be victimized through the air.....if Harrington is up to the task.

Atlanta still has a good team, and everyone is writing them off. I think they prove something on Sunday.

I don't know about that Walt. The Bills run D is not every good so T-Money and S.Young should have big games and Webster sucks (#2 CB) so Cutler should be able to find their #2 WR a lot. The Bills O-Line has 3 new guys starting LG, RG, RT so they need more time to gel. Also it will be Lynch's 1st game so don't expect much.
DEN-35
BUF-17 (With 1 Bills TD in junk time)

Atlanta is not a good team. Their OL is not built for Petrino's scheme. I don't think the running game will be there this season.
The defense still sucks, they just lack a presence in the middle. DeAngelo Hall might be the most overrated player in the NFL.

Don't underestimate your team... Also don't underestimate the possibility of a Tim Donaghy situation. Seems like a perfect set-up.

I think you'll be surprised by what the Falcons will accomplish, at least in the early stages, of this season.
By the way, Bill Simmons ranked them No. 12 in his Power Rankings. I don't even give them that much respect!
Here are my picks, just basic stuff.
Colts over Saints
Vikings over Falcons
Rams over Panthers
Bills over Broncos
Texans over Chiefs
Redskins over Dolphins
Patriots over Jets
Eagles over Packers
Steelers over Browns
Jaguars over Titans
Chargers over Bears
Lions over Raiders
Seahawks over Buccaneers
Cowboys over Giants
Ravens over Bengals
49ers over Cardinals
