My Picks for Week 1 of the 2022 NFL Season Kicking Off Tonight

The 2022 - 2023 NFL kicks off tonight (Thursday, September 8) with a fantastic matchup between the Buffalo Bills and defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams. Both teams have Super Bowl aspirations this season as does every other NFL team, including the Texas teams, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans.

Dallas Cowboys

For the Dallas Cowboys, they have the makings of a Super Bowl caliber team, at least on paper. What's been lacking is just simple execution. This year's team feels a little different. It feels a little better. It feels like it will be a good season. I don't think they'll make it to the Super Bowl this season but I don't think we'll see the playoff debacle of last year. I'm thinking NFC Championship game is where the Cowboys will get this season.

Houston Texans

The Houston Texans have a lot to prove and a lot of players looking to prove themselves. Now that the ultimate distraction, Deshaun Watson, is gone, this team can finally start improving. Big Sandy native Lovie Smith is leading the Texans this season and will bring some discipline that's been missing. The Texans may go 6-10 this year but we'll see a team with heart and determination and that will lead to more wins in the future.

Top 10: These Are Texas’ Most Expensive High School Football Stadiums in '22

There's a reason every good high school football movie is based in Texas. Here in the Lone Star State Friday nights are revered and our young men in football pads exalted to legends in their hometowns. In fact as of last year, Texas is only second to Florida (by two players) as the state with the most players in the NFL.
