We made it, guys. The NFL is back. No more Sundays without football until February. Feel free to celebrate however you see fit.

With the season officially underway, the Complex Sports team is rolling out a bunch of new NFL content. We rolled out our (controversial) QB rankings list, where we ranked every single starting NFL QB from worst to best. We'll have weekly fantasy content this year, as well as a ton of gambling content to help you win (probably lose) money all season. We'll have interviews, videos, dispatches from games, and much more all season long. Basically, we've got you covered all over the NFL season this year and we can't wait.

As part of our weekly NFL content this season, the Complex Sports team is doing weekly picks on every single game each week. These picks are straight up, but don't worry, Chopz and Adam will have a fresh gambling column with their best bets of the week every Friday. We'll be keeping track of the predictions from Chopz, Adam, Zion, and Angel all season long, with the ultimate bragging rights on the line. So check out our picks and be sure to jump on Twitter and yell at us for how bad you think they are.

2019 Standings

Chopz: 19-12-1

Adam: 18-13-1

Zion: 16-15-1

Angel: 22-9-1

Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Chopz: This is the most TNF game ever. Give me the Jags. Gardner Minshew Hive assemble.

Adam: Titans are incredibly inconsistent and untrustworthy. But can you really trust the Jags with Minshew under center on such short notice in a division game plus the Jalen Ramsey controversy swirling over the rest of the squad? Titans.

Angel: The Jags are in disarray. Give me the Titans.

Zion: Titans. (After last week’s prediction debacle, I don’t have much for y’all. I’m picking with my heart.)

Denver Broncos vs. Green Bay Packers

Chopz: The Packers look to be pretty good this season. The Broncos start Joe Flacco, as well. So, yeah, give me the Pack.

Adam: Broncos an incredibly tough sell here and in an incredibly tough spot off last week’s gut-busting loss to the Bears. Packers big since it looks like they have a defense.

Angel: Packers.

Zion: Packers win. That offense has to click at some point for a full game.

Detroit Lions vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Chopz: The Lions might not be terrible but I have to pick Philly here.

Adam: Any of us bold enough to pick the Lions? Doubt it, even though the Eagles are beat up. Philly in a close one.

Angel: Eagles.

Zion: Eagles lost a tough one last week. Coming back home, they’ll bounce back.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Chopz: Game of the week. Give me the Chiefs, but will be a close one.

Adam: Tempted to pick the Ravens here, but it’s Chiefs every week until further notice.

Angel: Lamar going crazy right now but the Chiefs are going to prove to be too much for B-More.

Zion: Chiefs. Although I hope Lamar can pull through and outduel Mahomes.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Buffalo Bills

Chopz: Do the Bills play any good teams this year? They’ll win here.

Adam: I guess I have to start respecting Josh Allen’s name? Bills will continue to take advantage of their easy early season schedule.

Angel: In Jaheim Allen we trust! Word to Bomani. Give me the Bills.

Zion: Im picking the Bills because they whooped my Giants but who hasn’t?

Atlanta Falcons vs. Indianapolis Colts

Chopz: I’ll never pick the Falcons ever again (see week 1), so it’s the Colts.

Adam: Falcons got beat up a little against the Eagles on Sunday night and the Colts have been better than just about all of us expected through two weeks. Falcons away from Atlanta is rarely the play.

Angel: I’m taking the Falcons. Sure they’ll be on the road, but I think they’re a better team than the Colts right now.

Zion: Here we go again with the Falcons on the road. Colts.

Oakland Raiders vs. Minnesota Vikings

Chopz: I like the Raiders on the road. I think they’re better than some people think.

Adam: Swerving here and taking the Raiders because Kirk Cousins has not been good and Oakland’s been stingy against the run through the first two weeks.

Angel: This is a tough one but I’ll take Minny here. I think Kirk could maybe play a little better. I won’t bet the house on it, though.

Zion: Vikings at home.

New York Jets vs. New England Patriots

Chopz: Straight up, you have to take the Pats. Can the Jets cover the points, though? We’ll see.

Adam: The pros have pegged the Patriots with a 96.6 percent confidence rating that they take care of the Jets. Only way the Jets beat the Pats Sunday is if Tom Brady chokes on some pregame avocado ice cream.

Angel: Patriots are going to destroy these guys. I just hope Le’Veon and Robby can put some type of points up for my fantasy team.

Zion: Patriots.

Miami Dolphins vs. Dallas Cowboys

Chopz: The Dolphins might legit be the worst team ever Cowboys by 30.

Adam: According to The Action Network, this “is first week since at least 1993 where two teams are favored by 17 points or more.” If Vegas had balls this line would be Cowboys -42.

Angel: Cowboys by a country mile.

Zion: Cowboys by 74.

New York Giants vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chopz: The Daniel Jones era is going to start with a loss, folks.

Adam: I’m not taking the best quarterback in preseason history to win his first regular season game. Buccaneers with 10 days to prepare for the garbage GIants.

Angel: Bucs because Giants ownership and the front office deserve a losing team because they are fucking idiots.

Zion: We can’t continue to lose, can we? DANIEL JONES SZN. Giants.

New Orleans Saints vs. Seattle Seahawks

Chopz: No Brees? That means no win for the Saints.

Adam: Not going to overthink this one. Seattle since New Orleans is on the west coast for a second straight week and minus Drew Brees.

Angel: No Brees, plus they’re on the road. Give me the Hawks.

Zion: Seahawks. No Brees. No dub.

Houston Texans vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Chopz: Sort of surprised the Chargers are favored here. I’m picking the Texans.

Adam: If...and this is a very big if...the Texans can actually keep Deshaun Watson upright for approximately 65 percent of their snaps then Houston pulls off the upset. Give me the Texans.

Angel:

Zion: I’m going with the Texans.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. San Francisco 49ers

Chopz: I really don’t like this 49ers team and I know they’re 2-0. I’ll go Steelers.

Adam: Give me the Steelers in an upset.

Angel: 49ers because Big Ben is out and they suck.

Zion: Steelers.

Carolina Panthers vs. Arizona Cardinals

Chopz: It looks like Cam isn't going to play, so got to go with Arizona.

Adam: Still not wowed by what I’ve seen from Kyler Murray (albeit in two games), but definitely disappointed by what I’ve seen from the Panthers in two games. Cardinals maybe aren’t as bad as we thought they’d be. They get their first of the season while as the pressure ramps up on Ron Rivera.

Zion: Cardinals.

Angel: Arizona because Cam is looking washed up and they’re home.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Cleveland Browns

Chopz: THE BROWNS, BABY

Adam: The Browns got smoked by the Titans and were anything but impressive against the second worst team in the AFC Monday night. Undisciplined on defense and still looking for continuity on offense, I’m staying away from the Browns here, even though this one’s going down in Cleveland on Sunday night.

Angel: Give me the Rams because they’re the better team. Cleveland is going 9-7, folks.

Zion: In Cleveland, a little momentum. I’m going Browns.

Chicago Bears vs. Washington Redskins

Chopz: What a snoozer. I'll go with the upset, though. Give me Washington.

Adam: What the hell. Let’s take Washington here considering how bad Mitch Trubisky has been.

Angel: Give me the Bears because that defense will save them.

Zion: Chicago mane.
