The Shenoa Report Regular Season Week 1 2014


The Shenoa Report
September 4, 2014
Regular Season Week 1

IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE! THE FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE!!!!! And you know what that means; the Shenoa Report is back as well!!! Are you ready for some football?!?! 
If you’re a first time reader, welcome! And if you’re a loyal follower welcome back, I’ve missed you. I started this blog four years ago after a number of people asked me for my opinion on football and what teams they should root for. Please know that I am very biased, and this report is just my opinion!
The last time I wrote the Broncos and the Seahawks were headed to the Super Bowl, thank God that’s over.  I mean, Seattle totally deserved their rings but MAN I wish it wasn’t at the expense of Peyton Manning and the Broncos. So sad.
In offseason news this is what you all really need to know; Clowney was the first pick of the draft and went to Houston. With the 22nd pick of the draft the Browns picked Johnny Football… he’s a jackass. Jim Kelly beat cancer.  Vick is now the backup for the Jets and Sanchez is now the backup for the Eagles, they just did a little switch-a-roo. Steve Smith is no longer a Panther and is now a Raven. Justin Tuck left the Giants and went to Oakland. Tear. The Redskins are most likely going to have to change their name because it’s offensive.  AND BRETT FAVRE IS STILL RETIRED!!!!

I tallied up my picks from the 2012 and 2013 seasons and I seem to be VERY consistent, I still definitely have room for improvement.

Lets see who’s playing whom in week one!!!!!

WEEK 1

Thursday September 4th

Packers @ Seahawks (8:30pm NBC)
The Super Bowl champs are taking on the Packers to open the season. It should be a good game as long as Rodgers doesn’t have a caterpillar on his face. I’m going to have to pick the Seahawks for the win. 

Sunday September 7th

Redskins @ Texans (1pm FOX)
I would really like to see the Texans win their home opener.  Watt and Clowney should be fun to watch especially when they pressure RG3. (Watt and Clowney are BIG defensive dudes that play for Houston and RG3 is the Redskins QB) I’m picking the Texans for the win. I mean they only have to win 3 this year to have a better record than last season…

Vikings @ Rams (1pm FOX)
The Rams lost their starting QB in preseason, Sam Bradford tore his ACL and is out for the season. But, the Vikings are faring much better in the QB department starting Matt Cassel in week one. I’m picking the bumblebees for the win only because it’s their home opener.

Bills @ Bears  (1pm FOX)
I’m taking the Bears over the Bills.  Sorry Bills fans… maybe I’ll be wrong?

Bengals @ Ravens (1pm FOX)
Pretty sure the Ravens are going to win this one.

Saints @ Falcons (1pm CBS)
Ha! The Falcons are horrible. I’m picking the Saints.

Titans @ Chiefs (1pm CBS)
I’m going with the Chiefs for the win. Sorry Abby.

Patriots @ Dolphins (1pm CBS)
I am going to pick the Patriots for the win, not because I like them or anything.  You see, it seems like EVERYTIME I don’t pick them to win they do anyway. Obviously I’ll be rooting for the Dolphins.

Raiders @ Jets (1pm CBS)
I thought that I was going to pick the Jets to win their home opener, but the more I thought about it the crazier it sounded. I’m going with the Raiders for the win, only because the Jets would have better success under the big top and not the football field.

Jaguars @ Eagles (1pm CBS)
As much as I hate the Eagles I’m going to have to pick them to win their home opener, the Jags are just terrible.

Browns @ Steelers (1pm CBS)
Picking the Steelers…rooting the Browns.

Panthers @ Buccaneers (4:25pm FOX)
The Bucs have a new head coach in Lovie Smith but I still don’t think they are going to win their home opener. BABOOM BABOOM I’m picking the Panthers.

49ers @ Cowboys (4:25pm FOX)
In this rare occasion I will be rooting for and picking the 49ers.  PS I really like to see the Cowboys lose.

Colts @ Broncos (8:30pm NBC)
In the offseason the Broncos used the number 35 as motivation in practice.  Every time someone wasn’t giving their best or wanted to give up they would be told “35” (the number of points they lost by in the Super Bowl) Hopefully this motivation works and they can come back stronger this year. The Colts are coming to Manning’s house this time and I’m thinking the outcome is going to be different. I’m picking the Broncos for the win.

Monday September 8th

Giants @ Lions (7:10pm ESPN)
Last year the Giants went 0-4 in the preseason and then lost 6 straight to start the regular season.  Pathetic. This year the Giants went 5-0 in the preseason, they still have A LOT of work to do but I think they are on a better track already. We’ll see. Against better judgment I am picking the Giants to upset the Lions.  GO GMEN!!!!!

Chargers @ Cardinals (10:20pm ESPN)
Totally not staying up to watch this game. I’m picking the Cardinals for the win, mainly because they are my defense in fantasy football.  

Happy Week One!!!!! I hope your team wins! (Unless you’re a Dallas, Detroit (only because you are playing the Giants) Philly, Washington, New England, or Pittsburgh fan) Told you I was biased!


GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Mom!!!!!
