We saw injuries galore, some upsets and a few outstanding performances.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a brief look at every game.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/procappers\/\"><strong>LOOKING FOR THE BEST NFL PICKS ON THE INTERNET? WE&#8217;VE GOT YOUR BACK &#8212;&#8211;><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL Betting &#8211; Week One Wagering Review<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Titans 38, Raiders 13<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This just in: Chris Johnson is still Chris Johnson. He ran for 142 yards, highlighted by a 76-yard run. So far, so good for Vince Young under center; he completed 76.5 per cent of his passes and didn\u2019t throw an interception. Jason Campbell was shaky in his debut for the Raiders but Darren McFadden was a bright spot, totalling 150 yards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New York Giants 31, Panthers 18<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hakeem Nicks was instrumental in helping the Giants christen their new stadium, catching three touchdown passes from Eli Manning. The Matt Moore era started ugly, as the Panthers pivot went down with a concussion. Does this mean it\u2019s already Jimmy Clausen time?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Texans 34, Colts 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know Arian Foster had a monster game when Peyton Manning threw for 433 yards and didn\u2019t get the headlines. Foster, the Texans\u2019 new feature back, ran for 231 yards and three scores as the Texans finally conquered their division rivals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jaguars 24, Broncos 17<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Tim Tebow era began with two carries for two yards. It may be a while before he sees the field regularly. Maurice Jones-Drew didn\u2019t set the world on fire but Jags fans have to be happy with his 23 carries, which should quiet concerns about his knee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steelers 15, Falcons 9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yuck. Two solid teams almost produced the dud of the week, but Rashard Mendenhall saved the day with his exciting touchdown run in overtime. He\u2019s my pick to lead the NFL in carries this season. <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ykIBNq0O-2GnjyAAP0sk9E5\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/football\/sportsbook_kickoff_300x600_mybanner2.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dolphins 15, Bills 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Bills are bad. Very, very bad. Their horrific offensive line opened up no holes in the running game and their run defense predictably had trouble against Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, who combined for 127 yards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bears 19, Lions 14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was arguably Sunday\u2019s most talked about game. First off, the Mike Martz experiment passed its first test. Jay Cutler made some mistakes as usual but racked up yardage and Matt Forte looked every bit the part of Marshall Faulk 2.0, totalling 201 yards. Second, Lions fans had their hearts broken twofold. Matthew Stafford went down with a potentially serious shoulder injury and the referees robbed Detroit of a win when they called a clear-cut Calvin Johnson touchdown catch an incompletion in the dying seconds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Patriots 38, Bengals 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Car accidents can\u2019t stop Tom Brady, who picked apart the Bengals defense and threw for three scores. ACL surgery apparently can\u2019t stop Wes Welker; he caught two of Brady\u2019s touchdown passes. Too bad Randy Moss had to put a damper on the win by calling out Pats management for not extending his contract (though I tend to side with Randy in the debate overall).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buccaneers 17, Browns 14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The game no one watched was a predictable yawner. Jake Delhomme is still Jake Delhomme; we\u2019re a game into the season and he already has more picks than TD passes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seahawks 31, 49ers 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many betting sharps saw the 49ers as the lock of the week! Oops. Seattle rode a throwback performance from Matt Hasselbeck to rout San Fran. Mike Singletary had some choice words for Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree after this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Packers 27, Eagles 20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was World War III. Philly\u2019s casualties included Jason Peters (knee), Jamaal Jackson (torn bicep, out for season), Leonard Weaver (torn ACL, out for season) and, most notably, Kevin Kolb, who missed the second half with a concussion. He was brutal before getting his bell rung, too. Michael Vick played very well in his stead, sparking a potential quarterback controversy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cardinals 17, Rams 13<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals certainly didn\u2019t make it look easy. Derek Anderson overthrew guys all day; you could see the frustration on Larry Fitzgerald\u2019s face. Sam Bradford wasn\u2019t perfect in his NFL debut but he looked like a bona fide pro and almost drove the Rams to victory in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redskins 13, Cowboys 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wasn\u2019t Dallas a popular Super Bowl pick? The Cowboys were missing something on Sunday night, possibly on the coaching side, as they abandoned the running game inexplicably. The box score is bizarre. Leading Redskins rusher Clinton Portis averaged just 3.5 yards per carry and Donovan McNabb completed 46.9 per cent of his passes for 171 yards yet these guys\u00a0<em>won.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ykIBNq0O-2GnjyAAP0sk9E5\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">The NFL odds are up on which teams will win the NFL in the 2010\/2011 season!
