It’s a new season. Simms and I are both technically undefeated, 0-0.
This year we will select every game. The selection will appear in a common #PFTPM/Chris Simms unbuttoned Podcast with tips from Little Caesars. The tips are all documented here.
Ravens at Chiefs (-3)
Last year, the Chiefs stepped on a rake the night they held up a banner, so that makes it less likely this year.
Florio: Chiefs, 27-20.
Simms: Chiefs, 27–20.
Packers vs. Eagles (-2) in Brazil
The Eagles fell apart in the home stretch last year. The Packers stepped on the gas. These trends are continuing.
Florio: Packers, 34-31
Simms: Packers, 24-20.
Steelers at Falcons (-3.5)
The Falcons might be the better team this year. The Steelers will be the better team tonight.
Florio: Steelers, 23-17.
Simms: Steelers, 21-17.
Cardinals at Bills (-6.5)
Chris smells something wrong. He needs to get his nose checked.
Florio: Bills, 30-17.
Simms: Cardinals, 24–23.
Titans at Bears (-4)
Caleb Williams wins his debut, but it won’t be easy.
Florio: Bears, 23-20.
Simms: Bears, 24-17.
Patriots at Bengals (-8)
The Bengals usually start slow. Not slow enough to lose this week, but slow enough (in my opinion) to not score.
Florio: Bengals, 20-13.
Simms: Bengals, 31-17.
Texans (-3) at Colts
That is how they finished last season. It is a neck-and-neck race, and the Colts could surprise the favorites,
Florio: Colts, 23-20
Simms: Texans, 28-21
Jaguars at Dolphins (-3.5)
We both think it will be a shootout, but we disagree on the outcome. (Why does Chris hate the Dolphins?)
Florio: Dolphins, 34-27
Simms: Jaguars, 34-30.
Panthers at Saints (-4)
The Saints have stumbled, but the Panthers, until they prove otherwise, are one of the worst teams in the league.
Florio: Saints, 28–20.
Simms: Saints, 23–17.
Vikings (-2) at Giants
Sam Darnold returns to MetLife Stadium with a better record than in most of his days with the Jets.
Florio: Vikings, 26-23.
Simms: Vikings, 20-17.
Raiders at Chargers (-3)
Who has it better than us? Not the Raiders, at least not at the moment.
Florio: Chargers, 24-20.
Simms: Chargers, 19-17
Broncos at Seahawks (-6)
Two years ago, they started the season the same way. Without Russell Wilson in Denver, the result is the same.
Florio: Seahawks, 27-24.
Simms: Seahawks, 23-20.
Cowboys at Browns (-2.5)
There are too many unanswered questions about Deshaun Watson for my taste.
Florio: Cowboys, 28-24
Simms: Browns, 20-17.
Commanders at Buccaneers (-3.5)
The Bucs are vastly underrated. The Commanders will be better than expected.
Florio: Buccaneers, 27–19.
Simms: Buccaneers, 27–21.
Rams at Lions (-3.5)
No Aaron Donald. No Raheem Morris. Lots of injury problems in the preseason. Advantage, Lions.
Florio: Lions, 30-24.
Simms: Lions, 30-20.
Jets at 49ers (-4.5)
Even if they lose, the Jets should come out with a nice confidence boost.
Florio: 49ers, 20-17.
Simms: 49ers, 21-17.
