Arizona 31, New Orleans 19
The Cardinals will have be very good on offense, with Arians achieving a good rhythm with his players always trying options and very effective game plans. John Brown is the # 1 receiver now and Palmer returned to his ways. However, the defense did not convince completely.
The running game in general will be the focus of the offensive, perhaps not entirely, but Brees still has weapons to play better than they did. Otherwise, the Saints will not get anywhere, least of all with the poor defense that does not frighten the worst offense in the league.
San Diego 33, Detroit 28
San Diego’s offense will be very productive, especially if Allen returns to the level that we saw i his rookie years or better (which happened in this match). It is a receiver who runs excellent routes, has good, strong hands and is very intelligent. Also, we saw Ingram’s rookie talent, but still has to improve a lot to be an all-rounder.
Very much a “Lions” game. They usually disappoint in this way, especially when they are racking so many points and they get surpassed in the board. It seems that time is already catching up to Calvin Johnson and Stafford refuses to snap back. The bright spot was rookie Abdullah, who is excellent in open field, with good speed and his cuts are impressive.

One expert said Mariota has the footwork of Elway, the accuracy of Montana and the “quick release” of Marino. very big words, but certainly ideal for the rookie’s first years. his style, precision and above all his intelligence to make decisions set him apart.
There was something that caught my attention talking about the rookie Winston: seen when the ball leaves his arm. he does not have the punch and the rotation of ball seen with other quarterbacks, and his decision making is still very poor he needs to improve in many ways.
Cincinnati 33, Oakland 13
Hill is a superstar. Powerful, fast without seeming so, and with a great view of the field. Moreover, this combination in the backfield will be virtually impossible to stop.
The Raiders managed to shake off all the high expectations that had been molded in the offseason. They have talent, but not enough to be an important team, and much less in that division team.
