Changing picks before game time
First week is always the hardest because you are never quite sure how teams are going to come out of the gate, and which players are more hurt, and less hurt, than teams are letting on.

My heart says Hawks, my head says Pack. Ultimately, Rodgers takes advantage of an over-amped Seattle D-line early in the game. The hard count results in enough free plays to give the Pack the early edge. Later in the game, the Hawks D-line loses the edge, and, except for Bennet, are a half-step late off the snap. Thomas still hasn't learned how to go at less than 100%, and pulls up limp. Not injured, and he won't miss games, but it will slow him down a bit. Wilson gets off to his usual, terrible start. Accuracy suffers early, before he settles in, midway through the game. If the defense, or the running attack, can keep it a game through the half, we have a good chance when the offense finally comes fully alive in the second half. Ultimately, I think we fall just short in Lambeau.
A "Luckless" Colts team, with an attack led by an aging Frank Gore, isn't getting it done against a stifling Rams defense (despite Aaron Donald being out). Granted we get Captain Bieber leading the attack in the opposite direction, but Gurley will have a field day to keep the Rams ahead.
An aging Palmer/ Fitzgerald duo will make a valiant effort, and David Johnson will be fed. Ultimately they will be too one-dimensional and predictable to outscore the Lions.
