Hello and Merry Football Christmas, Miami Dolphins fans!

This season, several staff members from DolphinsTalk.com (namely Mike, Tom, Ian, Aaron, and myself) will be competing to see who is the champion of picking the winners of NFL games. Each week I’ll post an article here on the site going over each the picks for each game and giving a weekly update on the season standings. We’ll be picking the games straight up (no spread) and games where we all agree will not count towards the standings.

The stakes couldn’t be higher—there is a prize for the winner. What exactly that prize is will be determined at a later date.

Anyway, here are the Week 1 matchups and everyone’s picks.
