NFL Week 1 Picks by Cooper the Analyst and Cup of Joe in the D

       The 2024 NFL Season is Back!!! Cooper the NFL Analyst is Back for His 8th Season Picking Games! THE NFL opened the season on Thursday night with the Kansas City Chiefs beating the Baltimore Ravens on a toe on the line win. Both these teams are looking like the cream of the AFC. Friday's NFL Game was played in Brazil and it was another Dog Fight that had the Eagles coming out on top of the Packers. If these 2 Games are any indication of how this Season is going to play out then we are in for one Exciting NFL Season....

      The NFL made 3 huge changes to the game this year. first they changed the kickoff to a stupid format which is a joke, second they outlawed the way players have tackled for decades and third teams can only try on on sides kick in the 4th quarter and only after they let the other team know they are going to try an on sides kick.. The NFL once again also screwed over its Fans by now putting Games only on Amazon Prime and Peacock just so the Owners can make more money at the expense of the Fans! 

     Officiating has been poor at best the past few seasons and it seems that  replay is being used on almost every other play. Will this be the Season where the NFL Officials get it right or will we continue down the slippery slope of Officials costing teams games like the have the past few seasons?

     Cooper has picked the Super Bowl Champion the last 3 years in a row.

     Each year, every team and their fans are optimistic that this will be their year to win the Super Bowl. There are the contenders, the so so's and the pretenders.
