Way too early blind week 1 predictions
by TheOneFromNone | 1 year ago | 0 Comments
Baltimore (Kelly) vs Kansas City (Gerry)
As far as blind match ups go, we have two people we all know of and we all know how good these teams are. I’ll give my first nod to Kelly, as I think they are just going to be too tough to handle out of the gate
Green Bay (Pat) vs Philadelphia (Valentine)
Valentine showed he make the playoffs early in his RZ career and Pat is going into GB with some talent. But, give me that Philly team and Valentine in this one.
Pittsburgh (White Greg) vs Atlanta (Baker)
I think we see Fields instead of Wilson week 1 and I think Baker takes a week or 2 to get adjusted to Cousins OR the 24-year-old rookie. I think if this match up was 3 years into the league, I’d go the other way around, give me WG week 1.
Arizona (John Travis) vs Buffalo (Yellow Dragon)
I think this is going to be the first game with a chance of a straight sim or a S2W for the Cards. I didn’t see anything spectacular from YD in the last cycle and Travis showed some flashes here and there but nothing came of it.
Tennessee (JP) vs Chicago (ogbobby)
This is the 1st match up of “who’s that again?” of week 1. I wanted Chicago, but I figured they’d be gone because of the young potential they have. We all know what JP is capable of. For that reason alone, I’m taking JP. But, if ogbobby is nice…
New England (Mayne) vs Cincinnati (Niet)
This is another case of “what if this was 3 seasons in?” Mayne played great all last cycle, but starting your cycle off against Burrow and Chase and an unknown user? With a rookie QB? Yikes… I’m pulling for you, but I’m going with the new guy.
Houston (Ramesu) vs Indianapolis (Roc)
The Texans were the first team gone and for good reason. Ramesu is going to be a tough out for anyone on any week. And he’s going to start the cycle with a win.
Jacksonville (TOFN) vs Miami (Tauph)
I’m gonna say Tauph. I’m either right or happy.
Carolina (Astin) vs New Orleans (Grave)
I have no idea what to expect from the Saints. I know the Saints aren’t that good of a team. That being said… the Panthers aren’t a great team either. I’ll give Astin the leg up in his first game as the owner of the Panthers
Minnesota (Adel) vs New York Giants (Robo)
Even though the Vikings are starting a rookie QB that team is still loaded. Aaron Jones is somehow still a good option. I don’t like the stock Giantss roster. So, give me the Vikings.
Las Vegas (igotit) vs Los Angeles Chargers (Spittah)
Raiders are ‘currently’ starting Aiden O’Connell or Minshew. Either option is no good. Chargers got Herbert and current IRL bust Johnson, but on Madden, I think Spittah is gonna be just fine. For a week 1 match up, give me the Chargers.
Denver (Blueprint) vs Seattle (Stank)
I just think the Broncos suck. BP could have a leg up if Stank stinks. But, I just don’t have it in me to give a the stock Broncos the week 1 win over the stock Seahawks.
Dallas (Moji) vs Cleveland (SteveO)
While the Browns got some surprising love from the devs, in the case of Chubb being a 96 OA XF HB, the fact is, the Cowboys with Moji are going to be a hard out year 1, if not the whole cycle.
Washington (Longville) vs Tampa Bay (Austin)
The Daniels era begins? Tampa has a bright future ahead, but I think if LV can avoid turnovers in week 1, I think the nod goes to that Washington team. I think this one will be the closest game of the week.
Los Angeles Rams (The big Fajita) vs Detroit Lions (Black Magic)
I thought this would be a 1 sided blow out. It might be when it comes time to play the actual game… but so far… I’m kinda shocked how close these teams are. Kupp vs St Brown. Gibbs and Williams vs Williams and Nakua… on paper, this… could be tight and high scoring. Potentially 70+ points. But, BM by a hair.
New York Jets (Jake) vs San Francisco 49ers (Henny)
Okay… so, the Jets got no love from EA. And if Henny is any good, this will be a rough start for the Jets. And I’m going off of this blind. So, sorry Jake… I’m taking the 9ers
