Week one

The NFL season (or as I like to call my waste of money for the year) kicks off today with the Browns and Seahawks in action.

The Cleveland Browns host the Brett Favre media circus otherwise known as the Minnesota Vikings in their opener.
The Browns are 1-9 in their ten openers since returning to the league and they drew a tough card this season to start with.
Brett Favre is getting all the ink (or font,if you will) but the real key is Adrian Peterson,the NFL's best back.
Minnesota does two things incredibly well-run the football and stop the opponent running game.
Cleveland does little well unless you count Eric Mangini's playing of I've got a secret as part of the team.
The Vikings shut down good teams backs,the Browns runners aren't even at the average level.
Cleveland's route to victory starts with keeping Peterson away from the long runs that earned his reputation,he'll get his yards-just not the massive ones.
Make Brett Favre beat you,the Viking receivers are not much better than the Browns.
And be able to run the ball just enough to keep Minnesota honest.

The Seattle Seahawks host the St.Louis Rams in a division matchup.
A win would go a long way to showing that last seasons poor record was a fluke.
Seattle is the better team and just needs to play up to their abilities.
Keep the pass rush off Matt Hasselbeck and don't let Stephen Jackson run wild and things should take care of themselves..

Vikings 31-14
