The rest of my week one picks...

-Detroit 27, Atlanta 10
Matt Ryan will choke, taking his first NFL snaps. John Kitna is old and washed up, but he will be able to perform against the worst defense in the league last season.

-Cincinnati 53, Baltimore 21
John Harbaugh, Baltimore's new HC, comes into an offense that's always struggled, but with a rookie play-caller. This is what their PR people like to call "a rebuilding year."

-Buffalo 24, Seattle 14
Seattle's got an injured list a mile long, and Buffalo had the seventh best defense in the league last year.

-Kansas City 10, New England 38
Bill Belichick is 3-1 against KC as the Pats' head coach. Returning last year's incredibly potent offense, look for a Superbowl appearance from them.

-St. Louis 14, Philadelphia 24
RB Steven Jackson, recently healed, will not fare well against the powerful Eagles rush defense, who were the seventh best-ranked in the league last year.

-Jacksonville 21, Tennessee 14
The newly structured Jags defense played well in the preseason, and Vince Young will have a bad day against them.

-Pittsburgh 42, Houston 17
Houston has the worst secondary in the league, as well as one of the worst pass rushes. Big Ben will pick them apart.

-Tampa Bay 17, New Orleans 14
Drew Brees has struggled against Tampa Bay's tough secondary in the past, and will continue to do so on Sunday.

-Jets 24, Miami 17
Chad Pennington isn't very good, Brett Favre is. Brett Favre's got a solid receiving corps, Miami doesn't.

-Dallas 28, Cleveland 17
I'm not a Tony Romo fan, but he's got the tools to get it done against Cleveland. Look for TO to get shut down by the secondary, facing constant double/triple coverage, though.

-San Diego 31, Carolina 21
A lot of emphasis is put on Phillip Rivers and the Chargers offense, but look for their aggressive pass defense to be the game-winner here. The Panthers chances are not helped by Jake Delhomme's slow recovery from Tommy John surgery.
