Florio and Simms analyze their NFL Week 1 picks for 2024, comparing each other's predictions and insights.

It’s a new dawn in the NFL! Simms and I are both standing tall, undefeated at 0-0. This season, we’re diving headfirst into every game, bringing our picks to life in a joint #PFTPM/Chris Simms Unbuttoned picks podcast, proudly brought to you by Little Caesars. And fret not, folks, all our predictions will be meticulously documented here.

Ravens at Chiefs (-3)

Last year, the Chiefs stumbled like they had stepped on a rake when they raised their banner. This year, they’re more prepared and fired up, making a repeat stumble unlikely.

Florio: Chiefs, 27-20.
Simms: Chiefs, 27-20.

Packers vs. Eagles (-2) in Brazil

Down in Brazil, the Eagles crumbled like a Brazilian sugar loaf in the home stretch last season while the Packers found their rhythm. Expect those trends to march on.

Florio: Packers, 34-31
Simms: Packers, 24-20.

Steelers at Falcons (-3.5)

Atlanta may appear to be the stronger squad this year, but on this given day, the Steelers will clench victory with sheer determination.

Florio: Steelers, 23-17.
Simms: Steelers, 21-17.

Cardinals at Bills (-6.5)

Chris’s nose whiffs an upset! But maybe he needs a nose check – I foresee a different tale.

Florio: Bills, 30-17.
Simms: Cardinals, 24-23.

Titans at Bears (-4)

Caleb Williams will shine in his debut, but it won’t be a walk in the park.

Florio: Bears, 23-20.
Simms: Bears, 24-17.

Patriots at Bengals (-8)

The Bengals are infamously slow out of the gate. While not slow enough to lose, they might just drag their feet too much to cover the spread.

Florio: Bengals, 20-13.
Simms: Bengals, 31-17.

Texans (-3) at Colts

Ending last season with a bang, these two will grapple for supremacy. It’s a toss-up, but don’t be surprised if the Colts snatch it.

Florio: Colts, 23-20.
Simms: Texans, 28-21.

Jaguars at Dolphins (-3.5)

Expect fireworks on the field with two teams ready to put on a show. But watch out, Chris has an anti-Dolphins bias, I swear!

Florio: Dolphins, 34-27.
Simms: Jaguars, 34-30.

Panthers at Saints (-4)

The Saints have been stuttering, but unless the Panthers prove otherwise, they’re still at the bottom of the pack.

Florio: Saints, 28-20.
Simms: Saints, 23-17.

Vikings (-2) at Giants

Sam Darnold revisits MetLife Stadium, ready for a redemption tale unlike his Jet days.

Florio: Vikings, 26-23.
Simms: Vikings, 20-17.

Raiders at Chargers (-3)

Who’s got it better than us? Certainly not the Raiders, at least not for now.

Florio: Chargers, 24-20.
Simms: Chargers, 19-17.

Broncos at Seahawks (-6)

They start the season similarly to two years ago. Even without Russell Wilson in Denver, the outcomes mirror the past.

Florio: Seahawks, 27-24.
Simms: Seahawks, 23-20.

Cowboys at Browns (-2.5)

Too many lingering questions surmount Deshaun Watson, making me uneasy.

Florio: Cowboys, 28-24.
Simms: Browns, 20-17.

Commanders at Buccaneers (-3.5)

The Bucs are flying under the radar, but the Commanders might just surprise everyone.

Florio: Buccaneers, 27-19.
Simms: Buccaneers, 27-21.

Rams at Lions (-3.5)

With no Aaron Donald and Raheem Morris, compounded with preseason injuries, the Lions roar ahead.

Florio: Lions, 30-24.
Simms: Lions, 30-20.

Jets at 49ers (-4.5)

The Jets might leave the field with a newfound confidence, even in defeat.

Florio: 49ers, 20-17.
Simms: 49ers, 21-17.

Get ready for a rollercoaster NFL season, because we’re bringing the heat with our coverage and picks! Stay tuned, folks!
