Games to Watch in Week 1!

Hi, I'm can't believe I'm saying this but we are 3 days away from football. The posts have started rolling again and I'm so excited for the season. Here are the best games to watch in week 1:

Chiefs @ Patriots:
The kickoff game is always among the main games to watch. Thursday night football is back and the Pats vs Chiefs is the first game. Not only is it a good game to watch because its the first one in awhile but both of these teams are really good and playoff contenders. We will see Tom Brady back, new RB Mike Gillislee, new WR Brandin Cooks all work together. On the Chiefs we will get to see how Alex Smith does with the pressure of rookie QB Patrick Mahomes on his shoulder, we will get to see new starting RB Kareem Hunt who has high expectations. I'm excited to see both good defenses go at it at the offenses too. This a game to watch.
Main Player to Watch: Kareem Hunt, RB, Chiefs
Predicted Winner: Patriots

Steelers @ Browns:
Not only is this a fun divisonal rivalry to watch but there is so many players to see. We will see rookie QB DeShone Kizer in his first matchup against a big division rival. We'll see Myles Garrett, the top pick in the draft. On the Steelers we will see how Big Ben does in his first game of what may be his last season, Martavis Bryant fresh off a year suspension, Le'Veon Bell an elite RB. Antonio Brown an elite WR. Also emerging DROY candidate brother of JJ Watt, TJ Watt will be going against DeShone Kizer. Joe Haden also just was cut by the Browns and signed by the Steelers. It should be fun to see the elite corner go against some of his former teammates. This should be a fun one especially with all the rookies.
Main Player to Watch: DeShone Kizer, QB, Browns
Predicted Winner: Browns

Seahawks @ Packers:
These teams play so often and its always SUCH a fun match-up to see. 2 high contenders going at it with overpowered teams. We'll start with the Seahawks. Russell Wilson should be better this year coming off a year in which he was on and off with injuries, he will be mobile again and has lost weight. The backfield should be interesting but I'm guessing it will feature former Packer Eddie Lacy. The receiving cores are both great. The Hawks D is scarier than ever. Earl Thomas is back from injury and the Hawks traded for pro bowl DE Sheldon Richardson. On the Packers, Aaron Rodgers is a top candidate to win MVP and the Packs offense looks amazing. Their D however can get picked apart and so this should be a really fun close game to watch, I'm excited!
Main Player to Watch: Eddie Lacy, RB, Seahawks
Predicted Winner: Seahawks

Giants @ Cowboys:
This game has become THE GAME to watch whenever its on. Both teams appeared playoff contenders last season but were both bounced in their first round. The Giants gave the Cowboys 2 of their 3 losses last season and were powerful but the Boys won the division. The Giants are the favorites to win the division this year and whoever wins this game could end up having a big edge later on. The Giants receiving core is going to be scary good this year while their run game isn't. The Cowboys should have a great running game even if Zeke is suspended. Darren McFadden is a good back running behind the best O-line in the league. 2nd year QB Dak Prescott coming off a rookie of the year winning season is predicted by many to have a sophmore slump so it will be interesting to see how he does against the Giants scary D. The Giants have a scary D and the Boys don't. That could give them the edge.
Main Player to Watch: Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys
Predicted Winner: Giants

Saints @ Vikings:
This game's main reason to be on this list is because of Adrian Peterson. The future hall of fame back who me and a lot of other people thought would be a Viking for life isn't. He wasn't re-signed this offseason and signed with the Saints. Now he will be playing against his former team week 1. On other notes, Drew Brees should be fun to watch as usual. Also we can see how WR Michael Thomas does in the spotlight. He was pretty good as a WR2 and now he is the no. 1 receiver on the Saints. Rookie CB Marshon Lattimore will also be fun to watch covering Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. I'm super excited to rookie RB Dalvin Cook. He is a favorite to win Rookie of the Year and he is super explosive. How will Sam Bradford do? What about the Vikings strong defense? This will be a fun game to watch! Also the first Monday night game of the season!
Main Player to Watch: Adrian Peterson, RB, Saints
Predicted Winner: Vikings

Raiders @ Titans:
2 teams that I think are making the playoffs this season squaring off week one! Fun to watch! Both teams will be playoff contenders this season and it will be fun to see them go off right away. The Titans team is looking really good. Marcus Mariota turned into an elite QB in his 2nd year. DeMarco Murray is a great RB on the Titans and was ELITE last year. The Titans also drafted WR Corey Davis 5th overall, he will help alot. Also the addition of WR2 Eric Decker will prove to be very helpful. The Titans D also features some stars like Jurrell Casey, Adoree' Jackson, and others that could make this team very dangerous. The Raiders are my Super Bowl pick this year. They are set. Derek Carr an MVP candidate QB. Marshawn Lynch who came out of retirement to play for the Raiders and I'm SOOOO excited to see that! Their receiving corps may be top 5 in the league. Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree, Cordarelle Patterson, and Jared Cook. They will be trouble for corners. Their D could be better but will still be good enough to make them top Super Bowl contenders. If you want to see a high powered match, watch this game!
Main Player to Watch: Marshawn Lynch, RB, Raiders
Predicted Winner: Raiders

Also here are some notable moves: Colts sign RB Matt Jones, Panthers sign QB Brad Kaaya, Browns sign WR Kasen Williams, 49ers sign LB Ben Boulware
