NFL Week 1 picks and predictions: Chiefs upset by Broncos, Seahawks smash Patriots - CBS Sports

CBS Sports’ John Breech runs through his Week 1 NFL picks, centered on a Super Bowl rematch in Seattle and a return from injury for Patrick Mahomes. Breech frames the slate with a humorous commentary while still focusing on matchups. For Patriots vs Seahawks, he notes the regular season opens on Wednesday for just the second time in 75 years and points to the Seahawks’ 10-1 record versus the AFC under coach Mike MacDonald. He also references the previous meeting in February’s Super Bowl LX, when Seattle beat New England 29-13, and says the Patriots don’t appear improved enough to cover a gap of 16 points. He identifies two Week 1 concerns for New England: no proven pass rush and questions about the offensive line.
