There are also a couple of ranked NCAA football teams in early actin this week so let's pick some games...
NFL
Kansas City Chiefs @ New England Patriots
The Chiefs hit the road to kick off the season against New England and will face a hungry Patriots squad.
The New England crew should start the season on a positive in their quest to return to the Super Bowl.
Patriots 31-21
NCAA
Oklahoma State (11) @ South Alabama
The Cowboys travel to Mobile but shouldn't be in much bother with the Jaguars in this one as long as they are not looking ahead to Pitt next weekend.
Oklahoma State 47-17
South Florida (21) @ UConn
The Bulls are looking for an early conference road win before facing Big 10 foe Illinois next weekend. The Huskies could be a tricky prospect on the road but South Florida should prevail.
South Florida 38-20
Back with picks for Virginia high schools, NCAA games and NFL games in the next few days.
Enjoy the games and for those in the South, stay safe and batten down with the weather as it is.
