NFL Week 1 Predictions & Key Matchups | NFL News

0:00On September 7th, the NFL season is officially here, kicking off with 16 games spread across four days. We've got a Super Bowl remaster to start things off, the Seattle Seahawks facing the New England Patriots. Then, we'll see the Denver Broncos go head-to-head with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night football to wrap up the week. It's a full slate, and the predictions are already flying. Looking at that Seahawks Patriots opener, the Seahawks are favored to take it, maybe by a score of 20 to 14. New England brought in some new faces on offense, but Seattle's defense is no joke, especially at home. Expect them to put some pressure on the young quarterback and force a turnover or two. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams are projected to edge out the San Francisco 49ers in a high scoring NFC West Showdown. The Rams' offense has been potent against the Niners, and with some new defensive talent, they look strong. Elsewhere, the Cincinnati Bengals are expected to win a close one against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Joe Burrow leading a potential fourth quarter.
