After what has seemed to be an eternity, the 2017 NFL season kicks off Thursday. Here is a look at the odds, television broadcast information, and predictions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thursday Sept 7, 8:30 pm ET on NBC; Al Michaels, Cris Collisworth
\nKansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in all markets<\/em>.
\nPatriots -9; over\/under 48\u00bd<\/p>\n

With the exception of clock management, Andy Reid is one of the best coaches in the NFL. Unlike the playoff game two seasons ago, the Chiefs have a healthy Justin Houston to disrupt the Patriot offense. I expect this game to start out close, but nobody makes better in-game adjustments than the New England coaching staff.
\nPatriots 27, Chiefs 17<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 1:00 pm ET on CBS; Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon
\nNew York Jets at Buffalo Bills<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in New England, New York and some of Florida (West Palm, Fort Myers<\/em>).
\nBills -9; 40<\/p>\n

It is going to be easy to simply bet against the Jets every weekend this year. Division games tend to be tough though, and Buffalo QB Tyrod Taylor is bound to be rusty after missing the last two weeks due to a concussion.
\nBills 24, Jets 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 1:00 pm ET on Fox; Kevin Burkhardt, Charles Davis
\nAtlanta Falcons at Chicago Bears<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in most of the southeast and upper central US<\/em>.
\nFalcons -7; 49<\/p>\n

Much has been made about the psyche of Atlanta after the Super Bowl, and the tendency of SB losers to regress the following season. That may well happen, but not in this game. The Falcon offense will have its way with a mediocre Chicago defense, and the Bears don’t have any offensive firepower to keep pace.
\nFalcons 31, Bears 17<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 1:00 pm ET on CBS; Andrew Catalon, James Lofton
\nJacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in Texas and northern Florida<\/em>.
\nTexans -5\u00bd; 39\u00bd<\/p>\n

Houston had the number one ranked defense in 2016, and that was without J.J. Watt. The Texan defense will harass Blake Bortles into costly turnovers, and coast to victory.
\nTexans 24, Jaguars 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 1:00 pm ET on Fox; Kenny Albert, Ronde Barber
\nPhiladelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in the northeast, and most states west of the Mississippi<\/em>.
\nEagles -1; 48<\/p>\n

The Eagle offensive line did not look good at all in the preseason, particularly in the running game. Even though Washington’s secondary is no better than average, it would be too much to ask Carson Wentz to carry the team. The Skins added Terrell Pryor but lost DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon in free agency. I don’t have a strong feel either way in this game; forced to choose, I’ll go with the home team.
\nRedskins 31, Eagles 28<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 1:00 pm ET on Fox; Chris Myers, Daryl Johnston
\nArizona Cardinals at Detroit Lions<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in Arizona, Washington, Michigan and Toledo<\/em>.
\nCardinals -2; 48<\/p>\n

I don’t anticipate Carson Palmer having a bounce-back season, but with David Johnson at running back it may not matter for Arizona. Detroit desperately needs some production at RB from Ameer Abdullah<\/a><\/span>, who appeared in only two games last year. This is another game that could easily go either way.
\nLions 27, Cardinals 24<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 1:00 pm ET on CBS; Jim Nantz, Tony Romo
\nOakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in Tennessee and most states west of the Mississippi<\/em>.
\nTitans -2\u00bd; 50\u00bd<\/p>\n

This is the most intriguing game of the week, featuring two young quality quarterbacks and two up and coming teams. Oakland has a more dynamic offense, but I’ll go with Tennessee’s superior defense in what should be a very close and entertaining game.
\nTitans 27, Raiders 24<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 1:00 pm ET on Fox
\n Tampa Bay Bucs at Miami Dolphins<\/strong><\/span>
\nBuccaneers -2\u00bd; 41\u00bd
\nGame Postponed to Week 11 due to Hurricane Irma<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 1:00 pm ET on CBS; Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta
\nBaltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in Cincinnati, eastern Kentucky, DC and Maryland<\/em>.
\nBengals -3; 42\u00bd<\/p>\n

Baltimore has major issues on their offensive line, and Joe Flacco practiced for the first time last weekend after missing the entire training camp and preseason with a disk issue in his back.
\nBengals 20, Ravens 16<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 1:00 pm ET on CBS’ Greg Gumbel, Trent Green
\nPittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in most of the southeast and Great Lakes region<\/em>.
\nSteelers -9; 46\u00bd<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh has struggled mightily on the road in recent years, but this is the Browns. In a rare game when Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell are all healthy and available, the Steeler offense should be able to score early and often. DeShone Kizer had a good preseason, but playing against second stringers is not the same as facing a blitzing Steeler defense.
\nSteelers 31, Browns 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 4:05 pm ET on CBS; Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts
\nIndianapolis Colts at Los Angeles Rams<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in Indiana, Illinois, Arizona, Utah, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, West Palm and Ft Myers<\/em>.
\nRams -3\u00bd; 41\u00bd<\/p>\n

There are plenty of question marks here, in what looms to be the worst game of the week. The Rams have a new coach (Sean McVay), a 2nd year quarterback who underwhelmed last year (Jared Goff), and will probably be without their best Player (holdout Aaron Donald). With Andrew Luck out the Colts turn to Scott Tolzein at quarterback, who was unimpressive in training camp and preseason. This game could be ugly, with multiple unforced turnovers.
\nRams 20, Colts 16<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 4:25 pm on Fox; Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
\nSeattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in all markets except the Carolinas, San Francisco and Reno<\/em>.
\nPackers -3; 51<\/p>\n

Thankfully there is at least one late game worth watching. Seattle’s already strong defense got better with the acquisition of former Jet Sheldon Richardson. The Seahawk offensive line has taken a step back however, and none of their running backs are particularly impressive. The addition of TE Martellus Bennett gives the Packers another option, which could open things up for receivers Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams.
\nPackers 31, Seahawks 24<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 4:25 pm on Fox; Thom Brennaman, Chris Spielman
\nCarolina Panthers at San Francisco 49ers<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in the Carolinas, San Francisco and Reno<\/em>.
\nPanthers -5\u00bd; 47\u00bd<\/p>\n

Even though this is a road trip across three time zones, with this being week one that factor should have only a minimal effect. The Niner defense has improved but still has a long ways to go. Look for Cam Newton and the Panthers to rebound from a disappointing 2016 campaign, and for rookie RB Christian McCaffery to rejuvenate the Carolina offense.
\nPanthers 27, Forty Niners 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday Sept 10, 8:30 pm on NBC; Al Michaels, Cris Collisworth
\nNew York Giants at Dallas Cowboys<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in all markets<\/em>.
\nCowboys -4; 47\u00bd<\/p>\n

This should be a high scoring and entertaining contest. The Cowboys will have difficulty covering Odell Beckham, Brandon Marshall and Sterling Sheppard all at the same time. On the other side of the ball the Dallas offensive line should be able to open things up for RB Ezekiel Elliott before he begins his questionable suspension.
\nCowboys 28, Giants 27<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monday Sept 11, 7:10 pm on espn; Sean McDonough, Jon Gruden
\nNew Orleans Saints at Minnesota Vikings<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in all markets<\/em>.
\nVikings -3; 48<\/p>\n

The NFL schedule makers threw espn a bone here, with Adrian Peterson returning to Minnesota in prime time in week one. The Saints traded WR Brandin Cooks early in the off season and WR Willie Snead is suspended for a DUI. However, Drew Brees still has Michael Thomas (92 receptions for 1,137 yards and 9 TD in 2016), and Ted Ginn is expected to step in to the spot vacated by Cooks. I will be curious to see how Minnesota utilizes rookie RB Dalvin Cook (2,253 yards from scrimmage and 20 TD at Florida State last year).
\nSaints 31, Vikings 28<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monday Sept 11, 10:20 pm ET on espn; Beth Mowins, Rex Ryan
\nLos Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos<\/strong><\/span>
\nBroadcast in all markets<\/em>.
\nBroncos -3\u00bd; 43\u00bd<\/p>\n

There has been a fair amount of hype for the Chargers in 2017, but I’ll believe that when I see it. Both teams get key offensive players back who were unavailable due to injuries last year: Charger WR Keenan Allen and Bronco RB C.J. Anderson.
\nChargers 20, Broncos 17<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best Bets<\/u><\/strong><\/span>:
\nTexans -5\u00bd vs Jaguars (3 units)
\nPanthers -5\u00bd at 49ers (2 units)
\nRams -3\u00bd vs Colts (1 unit)<\/p>\n
