Well, I didn't see that coming! The Lions pulled off an incredible upset, winning 21-20 against the defending champions. What a game! Both teams showcased remarkable defense, and that fake punt play by the Lions was a game-changer. It's moments like these that remind us why we love the NFL.

PS: I am not talking about Kansas City's WRs.

Browns v
Bengals

I don't have much to say about this game. I genuinely believe the Bengals are just as strong, if not better than they were last year. The Browns have a good team, but I don't think it's enough to secure a win in this matchup.

MAXE PICK: CINCINNATI BENGALS

Confidence level: 89%

FINAL SCORE: CLEVELAND BROWNS 24 - 3 CINCINNATI BENGALS

Ravens v
Texans

For this game, I'm taking the Baltimore Ravens. I firmly believe that Lamar Jackson is going to have another outstanding year, just as he always does.

MAXE PICK: BALTIMORE RAVENS

Confidence level: 85%

FINAL SCORE: BALTIMORE RAVENS 25 - 9 HOUSTON TEXANS

Vikings v
Buccaneers

This game promises to be incredibly exciting. Kirk Cousins facing off against Baker Mayfield is going to be a must-watch, and I firmly believe Mayfield will make a significant impact in Minnesota. Additionally, the Vikings boast a strong team. So, for this one, I'm going with them.

MAXE PICK: MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Confidence level: 70%

FINAL SCORE: MINNESOTA VIKINGS 17 - 20 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Falcons v
Panthers

In this game, the Panthers' quarterback Bryce Young debut promises to be incredibly exciting as they take on the Falcons. I'm going with the Panthers for this one.

MAXE PICK: CAROLINA PANTHERS

Confidence level: 75%

FINAL SCORE: ATLANTA FALCONS 24 - 10 CAROLINA PANTHERS

Commanders v Cardinals

I don't have comments about this one.

MAXE PICK: WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

Condifence level: 57%

FINAL SCORE: WASHINGTON COMMANDERS 20 - 16 ARIZONA CARDINALS

Colts v
Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars are coming stronger this year, maybe a Super Bowl candidate?

MAXE PICK: JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Confidence level: 90%

FINAL SCORE: INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 21 - 31 JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Steelers v
49ers

A great game which sincerely, I am struggling with this one because literally anyone could win.

MAXE PICK: PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Confidence level: 80%

FINAL SCORE: PITTSBURGH STEELERS 7 - 30 SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Saints v
Titans

While Derek Carr with the Saints will be exciting to watch, I don't believe they have enough to beat the Titans.

MAXE PICK: TENNESSEE TITANS

Condifence level: 85%

FINAL SCORE: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 16 - 15 TENNESSEE TITANS

Broncos v
Raiders

Last season, as the Broncos were grappling with their new QB Russell Wilson, I had high hopes for them coming back strong this year. Garoppolo is a great starter as well. However, for this week, I might not choose the Broncos.

MAXE PICK: LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Confidence level: 65%

FINAL SCORE: DENVER BRONCOS 16 - 17 LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Patriots v
Eagles

No comments on this one.

MAXE PICK: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Confidence level: 92%

FINAL SCORE: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 20 - 25 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Seahawks v
Rams

Since the Rams won the Super Bowl, it seems like their performance has dipped a bit, while Geno Smith has been steadily improving. I'm leaning towards the Seahawks for this one.

MAXE PICK: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Confidence level: 78%

FINAL SCORE: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 13 - 30 LOS ANGELES RAMS

Chargers v
Dolphins

The Chargers are on the rise, and they're looking like serious contenders for the AFC Championship.

MAXE PICK: LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

Confidence level: 69%

FINAL SCORE: LOS ANGELES CHARGERS 34 - 36 MIAMI DOLPHINS

Bears v
Packers

For me, this is the most anticipated game of Sunday. It's something many people have been looking forward to – Jordan Love's debut against the Bears. I have genuine belief in this guy.

MAXE PICK: GREEN BAY PACKERS

Confidence level: 94%

FINAL SCORE: CHICAGO BEARS 20 - 38 GREEN BAY PACKERS

Giants v
Cowboys

This one is a classic.

Today, get ready for an absolutely thrilling game: it's the New York Jets facing off against the Buffalo Bills.

This is the moment many of us have been eagerly anticipating: Aaron Rodgers' debut with the NY Jets going head-to-head against Josh Allen. The excitement level for this game is off the charts, and it's one that could keep anyone on the edge of their seat.
