Season Predictions & Week 1 Picks

Got through 30 of the 32 previews, and I did most of them without a computer. The two teams that are missing will be discussed in depth later in the week (assuming that my fixed computer ever arrives). However, I think it’s time to put the season predictions down on paper (or internet) and give you the week 1 picks quickly. Hopefully with a working laptop, I can go into greater detail next week.
