Mile High Report
The first week of the 2025 NFL regular season is in the books. I had twelve correct picks last week and four that were wrong. 75-percent accuracy isn’t a bad way to start the year—especially with how many close games there were. Let’s see if I can continue that success for week 2.
Thursday Night Football — Washington Commanders at Green Bay Packers
Winner: Commanders
Thursday Night Football this week features two teams who won their season openers in the Commanders and Packers. Jayden Daniels going head-to-head with Jordan Love should be a terrific game for football fans to enjoy. I’ll take Washington on the road here.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Buffalo Bills at New York Jets
Winner: Bills
The Bills were able to make a miraculous comeback on Sunday Night Football to secure the dub last week against the Baltimore Ravens. This weekend’s matchup should be a little easier for them. I’ll take the Bills in this AFC East rivalry game.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions
Winner: Lions
Neither the Bears or Lions looked fired up and ready to go last weekend. One of these NFC North teams will be 0-2 by Sunday afternoon. My guess is that will be the Bears, unless Caleb Williams is able to start playing good football.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens
Winner: Ravens
I can’t see any way the Ravens wind up losing to the Browns after what happened against the Bills on Sunday Night Football. I’ll take Balitmore in this AFC North rivalry.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Jacksonville Jaguars at Cincinatti Bengals
Winner: Bengals
The Rams were able to edge out the Texans last Sunday while the Titans fell short to the Broncos in a hard-fought game. Both offenses struggled, but I’m optimistic Matthew Stafford and the Rams will get it together and move to 2-0 on the season.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Los Angeles Rams at the Tennessee Titans
Winner: Rams
The Rams were able to edge out the Texans last Sunday while the Titans fell short to the Broncos in a hard-fought game. Both offenses struggled, but I’m optimistic Matthew Stafford and the Rams will get it together and move to 2-0 on the season.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins
Winner: Patriots
This AFC East matchup will determine which of them falls to 0-2 to start the year. The Patriots struggled against the Raiders, but the Dolphins looked absolutely terrible in Week 1. I’m not sure what to make of them this season. And for that, I’ll take New England on the road.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys
Winner: Cowboys
Russell Wilson was absolutely awful in his debut with the Giants. The Cowboys played the Eagles quite tough despite the loss. I expect them to handle the Giants at home to get their first win of the 2025 season....
