Football's back! And the Carolina Panthers still can't beat the Denver Broncos as Trevor Siemian pulled off his best Otto Graham impression.
Here are the Flea Flicker predictions of the rest of the Week 1 games.
Minnesota Vikings at Tennessee Titans
Pick: Vikings
Who starts at quarterback for the Vikings?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons
Pick: Falcons
The other three NFC South teams watched the Panthers run away with the division last year. All three think that they are much closer this year. This is an early big game.
Cleveland Browns at Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Browns
This game was also thrown for a loop when the Eagles traded Sam Bradford to the Vikings.
Oakland Raiders at New Orleans Saints
Pick: Raiders
The Raiders have been flying high, collecting fans all offseason. Now they have to show that they are really as good as a lot of people think that they are. The Saints are a tough first test.
Cincinnati Bengals at New York Jets
Pick: Bengals
The Bengals are one of the most talented teams in the league. The Jets have a lot of talent too. This should be one of the most entertaining games of the first week.
San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs
Pick: Chiefs
The AFC West is wide open. Any of the four can win it. I'm simply going with the home team in this one.
Chicago Bears at Houston Texans
Pick: Texans
The Texans feel like they finally have their quarterback in Brock Osweiler. When healthy, they are pretty much set everywhere else. Health issues on the offensive line could bring issues in this game. The Bears were a mess in the preseason.
Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens
Pick Ravens
The Bills are having all kinds of issues. Every day seems to bring a new one. The Ravens should benefit this week.
Green Bay Packers at Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Packers
This should be a wildly entertaining game. The Jaguars are a team on the rise. The Packers are already there. And they have Aaron Rodgers.
Miami Dolphins at Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Seahawks
The Seahawks rarely lose at home.
Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts
Pick: Colts
A shaky Colts defense could make this game a shootout. Andrew Luck should do enough to win.
New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys
Pick: Giants
Big game. A new, expensive Giants defense look to make rookie quarterback Dak Prescott uncomfortable all game.
Sunday Night Football
New England Patriots at Arizona Cardinals
Pick: Cardinals
A Super Bowl LI preview? Tom Brady's stupid suspension takes some of the pizzazz out of this game. It should still be a fun one.
Monday Night Football
Pittsburgh Steelers at Washington Redskins
Pick: Steelers
A chunk of the Steelers offense is missing with the suspension of running back Le'Veon Bell. They still have Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown. They're pretty good. Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins is still tasked with proving to his team and everyone that he's the real deal.
Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers
Pick: Rams
Why the NFL finds it necessary to stack two Monday Night games in Week 1 is beyond me. How much is enough? We are asking the NFL that question far too often. Starting the first game at 4:00 pm on a weekday and the second game after 10:00 pm on a weeknight is ridiculous.
Football's back!
