NFL Sunday: Robert Griffin III Opens Against the Sean Payton-Less Saints

I think Washington has the best chance to pull the road upset of those three, given the uncertainty in New Orleans and the team around him, though it would be a significant upset if any went on the road and one. Hey, it’s the NFL and nothing we thought over the last month matters now. Football is back, baby!

Here are the rest of the afternoon’s games in the order I will be watching, at least until things turn wacky in the second half:

1 PM Games

Atlanta at Kansas City

Buffalo at NY Jets

New England at Tennessee

Jacksonville at Minnesota

Philadelphia at Cleveland

St. Louis at Detroit

The late games feature the fantastic matchup of the day: San Francisco at Green Bay. The 49ers front seven is tremendous, and it will be interesting to see how Green Bay spreads them out and attacks. These teams did not meet last year, so it’s our first glimpse of what the new look 49ers and old school defense can do against Aaron Rodgers, who was snubbed by the organization for Alex Smith seven years ago.

Other 4 PM Games

Seattle at Arizona

Carolina at Tampa Bay
