NFL Week 1: Monday Night Football Open Thread

It’s the exciting Monday Night Football double header that kicks off week one, and tonight we have the Houston Texans taking on the New Orleans Saints in the first game, with the Denver Broncos facing the Oakland Raiders in the night cap.

Who are you guys picking in the games? Give me the Saints to win in a shootout and Broncos to win in a nail-biter.

Keep in mind this is an open thread and as usual it is rated WCG-MA.
