Picking winners for Week 1 NFL games

The new season is finally here. So are Around The League's weekly picks.

All five Around The League writers will pick every game all season long, with each week's loser forced to write the introduction to the following week's picks. Dan Hanzus probably should be writing this intro since he somehow finished 25 games out of first place last year, with a startling dearth of hero picks. (That's when a writer gets a game right that everyone else gets wrong.)

But Dan will be the first to tell you that last season is over. We're all 0-0. Hope springs eternal in 32 NFL cities and five writers' hearts. You can make your own picks and compete against us with the NFL Weekly Pick 'em fantasy game.
