Try These NFL Picks In Your Office Pool

With the NFL kickoff tonight, it's time to get your picks in!  If you're part of an office pool or our online contest, you'll want to save these winners.

A couple of these picks may be wildly unpopular.

This will be fun.  It's a brand new season and every NFL team is optimistic that this will be their year.  Even the hapless Cleveland Browns have hope after losing every game last year. It's a clean slate baby.

So...most confident and loud-mouthed fans think their teams will start the season with a win, and they'll pick accordingly, right?  Yeah, no.  I'm going with the opposite approach.  Setting the bar low and being pleasantly surprised seems like the way to go, so I'm thinking the Texans and the Cowboys will start with a big thud and lose the openers this weekend on the road.

Wanna copy these sexy picks?  Feel free.  I pretty much threw a dart at each game and picked the punctured team as the loser.  There is no method to this madness in Week 1, other than knowing that the Patriots will win because they always do.
