The Shenoa Report Week 1 '18 #theshenoareport


The Shenoa Report
September 5, 2018
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 eight 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 Eagles and the Patriots were headed to the Super Bowl.  If you were like me you were very confused on whom to root for. I ended up being ok with the outcome of the game. Hopefully it’ll be the last time I’ll actually be ok with rooting for the Eagles.  I mean, if it makes Jim Beaty happy, it was worth an Eagles win. Now we know the Pats kryptonite is an NFC East team in the Super Bowl!

As you may know, I won my fantasy league last year. This year I couldn’t make it to the live draft so I sent Eric! He picked an amazing team and we should be contenders again this season. I decided to just focus on one league this year so I dropped the other one.

I also changed jobs in the off season and am no longer teaching. I am now one of the Tasting Room Managers at a local winery and I am also bartending now and then at a local tavern. I love my new jobs and am far less stressed and much happier! Also, an added plus, if I’m working during a football game I know it’ll be on in the background!

Football starts Thursday, so let’s get back to it!


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

WEEK 1

Thursday September 6th

Falcons @ Eagles (8:20pm NBC)
Wentz will not be starting this game for the Eagles, Foles will… Will the Eagles suffer from a Super Bowl hangover? I’m picking the Eagles to start their season with a win, I’ll be rooting for the Falcons though.


Sunday September 9th


Bills @ Ravens (1pm CBS)
The Bills got rid of Taylor in the off season and will be starting a no-named QB, actually his name is Peterman but I don’t know him… I’m picking the Ravens for the win.

Texans @ Patriots (1pm CBS)
Deshawn Watson will be starting for the Texans. I’d love to see them win. I’ll be rooting for them but picking the Pats to win this game. 

Jaguars @ NY Giants (1pm FOX)
Oh man, I want the Giants to win and I’ll be rooting for them, no doubt, but after last season I’d be a fool not to pick the Jags to win this game. Rooting for the Giants, picking the Jags. Man I hope I’m wrong.

Buccaneers @ Saints (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Saints to win this game for no better reason than they are a more solid team than the Bucs.

Bengals @ Colts (1pm CBS)
Andrew Luck is “back” for the Colts. They were terrible without him this past season. I’m picking the Bengals to ruin the Colts home opener.

49ers @ Vikings (1pm FOX)
Garoppolo hasn’t lost a game in the NFL. The Vikings are going with Cousins as their QB. I’m hoping the Vikings hand Garoppolo his first loss. I’m picking the Vikings to win

Steelers @ Browns (1pm CBS)
Eric and I have been watching Hardknocks this season and I now have a soft spot for the Browns. I’ll be rooting for them but picking the Steelers to win this game.

Titans @ Dolphins (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Titans to win the game. There were on the up and up last season as the Dolphins were on the down and out.

Redskins @ Cardinals (4:25pm FOX)
I’m picking the Cardinals to win this game. It’s going to be hard to root against Alex Smith.

Chiefs @ Chargers (4:05pm CBS)
I’m picking the Chargers to win their home opener. It may seem like I have a crush on Alex Smith but man, I am going to miss him in a Chiefs uniform. Also, I have Keenan Allen on my fantasy team so I hope that the Chargers have a really good day!

Cowboys @ Panthers (4:25pm FOX)
I’m picking the Panthers to win, mostly because I am not willing to pick the Cowboys, Dak is my backup QB for a reason.

Seahawks @ Broncos (4:25pm FOX)
I’m picking the Seahawks to spoil the Broncos home opener. Here’s to Chris Carson having a GREAT game!

Bears @ Packers (8:20pm NBC)
What will Aaron look like after his injury last season? The Bears now have Khalil Mack… I’m picking the Packers.


Monday September 10th


Jets @ Lions (7:10pm ESPN)
I’m picking the Lions to win. The Jets just don’t have it this season, and a rookie QB to boot.

Rams @ Raiders (10:15pm ESPN)
I’m picking the Rams to win. This will be an interesting game to watch if you can stay awake. Chucky won’t be commentating, rather coaching this game for the Raiders. Like I said, it’ll be interesting.


Happy Week One!!!!!

GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Eric!
