Prisco's NFL Week 1 odds, picks: Saints spoil Brady's Bucs debut, Bengals upset Chargers

Prisco reveals his NFL picks for Week 1, including why the Rams will beat the loaded Cowboys

So, I generally don't invest a whole lot in what prognosticators say about upcoming games, because anything can happen, and I know it's just for fun.
What jumped out at me, however, in Prisco's forecast of Sunday's game @NE, was his last line.
While we may not be there yet, he is acknowledging what we all seem to know. Our time is coming- and people better be ready.

Overall I think that's a pretty fair assessment down the line...

Our game is almost a 50/50 proposition.

BUT ------------ the great unknowns in the mix are just immense!

Bottom line -- no one really has a clue as to what to expect!

:lol:
 
I think it will come down to our oline play which shouldn't be strong. I think we lose until that's worked out.
 
Nothing to do with this opinion but I have always found Pete Prisco to be among the worst of the national writers.

If Jackson is "OK" I think there's a possibility we could be more solid than many predict.

Lack of cohesion is a definite question mark.

So I would assume we're going to KISS as much as possible along the OL.

Belicheat will probably try to complicate things as much as possible with stunts blitzes etc.

to exploit the the lack of OL cohesion. Pretty sure Flo will be aware of that and hope we have a

relative simple plan to follow... That's the bottom line for me -- keeping things simple.

Power run game. Quick passes. A few tricks to slow the D down a bit. Nothing too wild.

Play it conservative. Bank on our D keeping things tight.

But seriously --------- who knows!
 
I think the Patriots are going to have a hard time scoring enough points to win on Sunday. I truly believe this Dolphins D is going to be improved, and the Patriots skill position quality is bottom of the barrel.

I could be wrong, obviously, but I think the Dolphins are going to find a way to win this game.
 
I picked Miami in this game. It's a prime game for Miami to launch the season with a win, too much turnover in NE to overlook and more improvement in Miami. It's a 50/50 crap shoot but I expect a game changing play to win the game for Miami.
 
Cam Newton is such a wild card in this game- late arrival, no pre-season, who knows what he will look like week 1. As smart as Belichick is, he still has not seen Cam in live action for his team yet, and has not been able to make adjustments for him based on live action. And the Patriots do have a recent history of bumpy starts. The key for us, I think, is not making mistakes that give this game away. It's winnable, I think. In New England will be tough, but we did it last year, and the players know it can be done.
 
Without a preseason, you have think a veteran team has the advantage. I think it will be sloppy across the NFL for the first couple of weeks, but it is exciting to have football back.

I am definitely excited about Miami's future.
 
I've got a question. When was the last time the Pats lost at home to the same team two games in a row?

Veteran team without Brady will be a huge difference IMO.

The defense being improved from last year shouldn’t be that hard. They were the worst defense in the entire league in 2019. I think they will still be a bottom 10 defense but they will not be the worst defense in the league this coming season. I think the OL is the big question mark going into the season and the Dolphins will only go as far as the OL allows them to go.

I previously picked the Patriots to win in a close game but I certainly won’t be upset or surprised if the Dolphins come out victorious.
